They initially said the pond search was unrelated, but eventually admitted that they were, indeed, looking for evidence related to Haleigh's disappearance. I don't recall offhand if other LE was involved, but draining that pond was no small task. JMO, but I think LE learned after the Mondex search that this case has too much public interest to withstand an undertaking as visible as searching the river in a covert fashion. I will admit, though, that gathering the famiy gave me the impression that something was about to break. Yet here we are, almost two days later, and the truth remains mired as deeply in the murk as ever.
