(ORANJESTAD, Aruba) - The search of a pond in Aruba for evidence in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway will continue another day; it's taking longer than expected to drain.
Searchers hope by early Friday to have a clearer view of the bottom.
Authorities aren't saying exactly what they're looking for, but confirm it's related to the Alabama teenager who went missing May 30th while on a high school graduation trip.
A lawyer for Holloway's family says the search was prompted by a witness who'd reported last week that on the night of the disappearance he'd seen three young men near the pond – including one detained in the case.
Our local NBC affiliate just showed the field/pond draining underway and it looked to me like there's still a massive amount of water to drain. Natalee is a Clinton, MS native, so her case gets daily coverage. I am grateful for the coverage since my Direct TV will not be installed until Wednesday.
Same news report said that the Texas team is heading back to Aruba.
