i was in aruba jun25-jul 5. that pond is always full. not all ponds/lakes evaporate, there is no way it could refill by the time i was there if it was empty on 5-30
I believe its drainage pond for all the surrounding hotels, ( not sure if its even raw sewage). They call it salina because it rather shallow reminiscent of Bonairs Salt water desalineation to extract Salt. Not sure if the history had this as a actual Salina. It does not go into the seas.

This is the latest from the breaking news on the Aruba Radio Magic:
Unlike what has been speculated today... the judge did not have to make a decision regarding DNA evidence taken by the police.
The prosecutors told the judge that these DNA taken are not admissable in court since the normal procedures to have these taken were not followed and admit their fault. However using this court, they are requesting the judge officially to request the suspecte new tests. This will be ruled tomorrow or friday.
Regarding the case the suspects had against the facts that evidences are being shared with the FBI, a court hearing date has not been set yet.
Regarding the pond, the draining procedure could take up to midnight tongith when, it's cleared enough to begin digging for evidence.
And there is some one else taking the place in court today for Carel [sic] Janssen.

I am pretty sure it is not raw sewage. There were 2 people in it yesterday up to their hips and they were wearing just pants and a T-shirts. If it was raw sewage then they would have had protective clothing on or chest high waders at the very least on.
Re: the comment from SM -- according to Jossy last night, that pond does dry out quite a bit, he said with the hot weather they have, it does evaporate.
