PALM BEACH, Aruba (CNN) -- After spending two months on Aruba following the disappearance of her daughter, the mother of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway has returned home to Birmingham indefinitely.
Beth Holloway Twitty will return to the island if there are any developments in Holloway's case.
Meanwhile, a search of an Aruban pond has ended with no sign of the missing teen, said the lead investigator on the case.
"The search at the pond is over," Roy Trump told CNN. "It's unfortunate, of course, but there was nothing there. We're finished at the pond."
The Aruban police investigator said divers made several attempts to look at certain areas of the pond in the small amount of water remaining but did not find anything of interest.
The pond was searched because of its proximity to a spot where a witness claimed he saw the three men named as suspects in Holloway's disappearance sitting in a car. (Full story)
Brothers Satish and Deepak Kalpoe and their friend Joran Van der Sloot were the last to be seen with her when she left a popular bar May 30.
Van der Sloot remains in custody. The Kalpoe brothers have been released for insufficient evidence, but they remain suspects in the case.
In addition to the pond, Trump said authorities are searching a landfill for the third time since a witness came forward shortly after Holloway disappeared.
The witness claimed he saw more than one person dump into the landfill something he believes could have been a covered body, CNN has learned from sources briefed on the investigation. The witness also gave police a license tag number that reportedly belonged to a white pickup truck.
Police tell CNN that a tag check found that the vehicle was not at the landfill at or around the time the witness claimed.
