On Friday, the Luxembourg police resumed the drainage of the "Linger Weieren" pond, close to where month-old Bianka Bisdorff was last seen with her mother, and suspended the drainage operation late in the day, with no result.
The police have used various teams from those in a helicopter to sub-aqua divers to search the pond, in Bianka's disappearance, as well as following other avenues of investigation to reveal the possible whereabouts of the baby. Bianka's mother, who has had five children taken into care previously, is still in custody.
Officials from the Water Management administration were on hand throughout the drainiage operation to capture and remove fish to another pond nearby. The search of the pond will note resume until at least the middle of next week due to technical reasons, including allow the sediment to settle.
An earlier search of a nearby abandoned building revealed clothing belonging to both mother and child.
