ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) -- Authorities in Aruba are helping a U.S. private investigator search a pond for signs of missing U.S. teen Natalee Holloway despite having no new leads in the case.
Firefighters are using a hose to blast mud and debris out of a pond that witnesses previously identified as a possible location for her remains. The pond was drained for the search.
Investigator Fred Golba said Saturday they are still searching and declined further comment. He was hired by Holloway's father to search the pond even though it has been scoured before.
The 18-year-old was last seen leaving a bar with Joran Van der Sloot during a 2005 high school graduation trip.
Van der Sloot has been arrested twice and released for lack of evidence.
