WATERVILLE -- Police are looking for a toddler who vanished from her bed sometime late Friday or early Saturday, and say it's possible she was abducted.

Map showing the location of 29 Violette Ave. in Waterville


20-month-old Ayla Reynolds, wearing a soft cast from a broken arm, was last seen sleeping in her bed at about 10 p.m. Friday. Her father reported her missing Saturday at 8:51 a.m. when he found an empty bed.

 ::snipping2::

This article states the mom doesn't live at that address.  The address comes up with a different name so the dad could be renting the house (not sure).  Still looking into the address.

UPDATE: Family feels helpless as search continues for missing toddler

By Doug Harlow

Updated at 3:15 p.m.


Ayla Reynolds’ grandfather, Ronald Reynolds of Portland, said he and other family members feel helpless as police search for the 20-month-old in Waterville.

“It’s just so hard for me to sit back and not do anything,” Reynolds said. “I’m crawling out of my skin right now. She the apple of my eye.”

He said he hasn’t been able to eat or sleep since police came to his home with the news yesterday.

“She is so friendly, loveable, smart,” he said. “I don’t know where she is. I don’t if she’s in a car, if she’s in a gutter somewhere.... I want my granddaughter found. I want here home safe.”

I was born in Waterville. I know someone who lives on Cool St. and have been there many times, but know nothing of the Violette Ave. area.

FBI in on investigation of toddler's disappearance
3:13 PM, Dec 18, 2011

At a news conference Sunday afternoon police said the little girl's father is Justin Dipietro and her mother is Trista Reynolds. Ayla lives with her father and her mother lives in Portland , although she does not have a permanent address.

Police were told by DiPietro that he last saw his daughter when  he put her to bed on Friday night. He discovered her missing the next morning.

There were people visiting the home Friday night. Police describe them as friends and family.

The investigation involves local police, state police, wardens and the FBI.

20 Month Old Ayla Reynolds Missing Since 12/17/11 in Waterville, Maine

http://scaredmonkeys.com/2011/12/18/20-month-old-ayla-reynolds-missing-since-121711-in-waterville-maine/

Maybe I missed something, but the toddlers name is Ayla Reynolds, the mom's last name with no perm address is Reynolds; however, the dad's last name is Dipietro, who the missing baby lives with. Um, huh? Were they ever married? Why doesn't the child have the dad's last name if he is the custodian?

I want to know how this sweet little girl broke her arm......

That's what I'd like to know as well.

This article says it was a 'fall' a couple of weeks ago. 

I am curious too...I did find this on the Find Ayla FB page:

"Waterville Deputy Police Chief Charles Rumsey said police conducted extensive interviews and believe there is nothing suspicious about the broken arm, which he said was suffered in an accident several weeks ago."

Sorry, but this baby didn't walk out of the house by herself....... ::MonkeyNoNo::

Red, I was thinking about that last night. Perhaps the Mom and Dad were never a 'real' couple', so to speak. Single Mom's don't always give their kids the baby daddy's last name, no?

WATERVILLE - Search parties combed a Waterville neighborhood Sunday, but as evening fell they still had not found a 20-month-old girl reported missing Saturday morning.

Ronald Reynolds of Portland is shown holding his granddaughter, Ayla Reynolds, in a family photo.

Ayla Reynolds, dressed only in pajamas and wearing a soft cast from a broken arm, was last seen sleeping in her bed in her father's home at 8 p.m. Friday, Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey told reporters at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

Ayla lived in Portland until October, and her mother and other family members still live in the Portland area, where they waited anxiously for information on Sunday.



So in less than 2 months she breaks her arm then goes missing?

Mother of missing 20-month-old was seeking sole custody
12-19-11
WATERVILLE, Maine — The mother of a missing 20-month-old girl in Maine says she’d filed paperwork seeking sole custody of the toddler a day before her daughter went missing.

Trista Reynolds told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday that she and Ayla Reynold’s father have been unable to get along in the last few weeks and parent together. She says she didn’t tell the father, Justin DiPietro, that she’d filed the court paperwork Thursday.

Reynolds says she hasn’t talked to DiPietro since Ayala went missing from her father’s Waterville home ................snipped

Missing Maine girl's relatives feared for her
 ::snipping2::

Whitney Raynor, her mother's stepsister, said Monday that welfare agents had placed Ayla with her father in November while the mother was in rehab for substance abuse. The girl had bruises after being in her father's care, Raynor said, in addition to a broken arm three weeks ago.

"Our biggest fear is that he lost his temper and something happened. We're trying not to think about that, but in the back of our minds it's our biggest fear," Raynor said Monday from Portland, where mother Trista Reynolds lives.
 ::snipping2::

The father moved four to six weeks ago to his childhood home on Violette Street in a tidy neighborhood of ranch houses built after World War II, a neighbor said. A few blocks away is a park, alongside the stream.

Search for missing 20-month-old Waterville girl expands to Messalonskee Stream

The warden service began searching the surface and banks of Messalonskee Stream by plane, boat and foot on Monday, expanding the search area from the weekend, Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey said during a press conference Monday afternoon.

Massey said 75 investigators are assigned to the case, including 25 from the warden service who pushed their search to the river.

“It’s very important for us to be methodical, it’s very important for us to follow every single lead,” he said. Massey added that all groups involved in the search would continue to “pour our resources in.”

Massey wouldn’t say whether police believed Ayla had been taken from the Violette Avenue home, wandered off into the cold or whether something else happened.

“The focus, obviously, is to bring Ayla home,” Massey said.

Two Vehicles Towed From Home Of Missing Toddler
Ayla Reynolds Vanished Saturday Morning

POSTED: 8:45 am EST December 19, 2011
UPDATED: 4:06 pm EST December 19, 2011

WATERVILLE, Maine -- Two vehicles were towed from the home where 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds vanished from over the weekend. When asked about this development, Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey would not comment.

 ::snipping2::

On Nancy Grace the Mother said that the baby daddy sperm donor claimed he fell onto Ayla and that is how her arm got broken...... ::MonkeyMad::

I say BS, baby daddy is lying through his teeth, imo. This sounds like an immature jackass sperm donor. Also there is no way this child slept more than 12 hours without waking up!

Also on Nancy Grace the Mother said Ayla missed several appointments for shots and a bone specialist since he has had Ayla.

Mother went to rehab to seek help and left the child with her sister to care for. According to the Mom the baby daddy then went and took the child which he has had hardly any contact with or interest in before. Mother and maternal Grandmother were living in a hotel when the state gave Ayla to the father. A relative on CNN said the baby daddy has family who work with DCHS and speculated that is how he got custody.

I think the Mother fell on hard times but by all appearances was trying to get help for herself and children.

Also I forgot to mention that on Nancy Grace the Mom of Ayla said that when the childs arm was broken that daddy did not bring her to the doctor for more than 24 hours ::MonkeyMad::

Ayla with her Mom

 ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad::  I double that emotion cartfly.  The mother actually bought the story little Ayla's arm was broken when her Dad fell on her?!  Geesh!! 

On Nancy Grace tonight the Mother said the dad would not let her see or even talk to her daughter. She said he was vindictive. (of course  their are two sides but he hasn't spoken yet) According to the Mother she was getting no wheres with this man. There was very little contact with baby daddy. She also said they were not really ever in a relationship, more like friends.....Someone else mentioned that Ayla wouldnt have been able to open the door with one arm much less two.
I am praying for a miracle and hope someone is just hiding her. She would not have survived outside in the Maine winter temperatures.

Here is another child #3 that went missing from her bed over the weekend I know this isnt the place to post but didnt know where to put it and since it was of a 20 month old gone missing from bed during the night I thought i would post it here and hope that someone moves it to its own place.

I feel i am in a Twilight Zone with these babies going missing, I would of gave everything to had more children other then just my son which I am thankful for, What in he77 is going on in this world where children are becoming disposable

Ayla Bell Reynolds: Missing Maine tot taken from crib

Jazzy, I've moved your post to Alyla Reynolds's existing thread in "Missing Persons".   MB

http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/No-arrests-in-missing-toddler-case.html

The two seized vehicles were in the driveway at 29 Violette Ave., where Ayla lives with her father, 24-year-old Justin DiPietro. The SUV, a 1996 Ford Explorer with a sticker on the rear windshield for the United States Marine Corps, is registered to DiPietro, according to records from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The car, a 2002 Hyundai, is registered to a Portland woman whose name is not being made public.

 ::snipping2::

Reynolds had filed a complaint against DiPietro for determination of paternity, parental rights and responsibilities and child support, according to documents obtained Monday from Cumberland County Superior Court in Portland.

 ::snipping2::

What is this, open season on babies??????  I'm getting so tired of parents and these asinine stories of babies disappearing.  I really need a happy ending to one of these cases. 

So what he wasn't even supporting the child? why would the state give him custody if this hadn't been cleared up yet? ::MonkeyNoNo::

My heart is broken over all these children....I used to think that maybe we would do some good trying to solve these cases.  I have almost given up hope.  It IS open season on women and children.  I really think there is an uptick in all of this.  The one who's name I cannot stand to speak got away with it.  Now every creep sees that they might possibly get away with it too.

Police Seize Vehicle of Missing Maine Girl's Father
December 20, 2011


Authorities searching for a missing Maine girl have seized a sport-utility vehicle belonging to the child's father.

The Portland Press Herald reported Tuesday that police removed two vehicles from the Waterville home where 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds lives with her father, Justin DiPietro.
 ::snipping2::
No arrests have been made in the case and investigators said it's possible the girl was abducted.

Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey said during a press conference Monday that several adults visited DiPietro's home Friday night, including at least one non-family member, according to the newspaper.

Searchers have since scoured the surrounding area, including a stream not far from DiPietro's home.

The Herald reported that police removed a 1996 Ford Explorer with a U.S. Marine Corps sticker on the rear windshield from DiPietro's driveway. The SUV is registered to DiPietro, according to records from the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Also taken was a 2002 Hyundai registered to a Portland woman whose name has not been released, according to the newspaper.

Police: 100 leads in missing toddler case

David Sharp, The Associated Press

PORTLAND — The mother of a 20-month-old girl who disappeared from her father's home said she's trying to remain optimistic that her daughter is OK as dozens of law enforcement officers in Waterville investigate 100 leads received from the public.

Trista Reynolds said today she's trying to keep it together for an 8-month-old son who remains in her care but acknowledges the past few days have been tough.

"Sometimes I think that she's OK. Sometimes I start thinking that the worst can happen. That's how I've been feeling. I lay my head down at night and wonder where she is. Am I going to see her again? Do I get to see her beautiful smile?" Reynolds said of her daughter Ayla. "She's my little girl."

Searchers today resumed looking for the youngster who was last seen Friday night when the father, Justin DiPietro, put her to bed. He called police to report her missing the following morning when he found her bed empty.

I don't think this is going to have a happy ending.
this baby did not have a chance...
Mom is still at her home about 80 miles away..neither  her sperm or egg donor have looked for her since she went missing...neither of them..
Would anything or anyone keep you from looking for your missing baby? not me...
how this guy ever got custody of this little baby is beyond me..she didn't even know him when she was taken away from her family in October..then a broken arm..and now this..horrible!

http://www.pressherald.com/news/Father-of-missing-toddler-speaks-for-first-time.html

UPDATE: Father of missing toddler speaks for first time
 ::snipping2::
Justin DiPietro statement
First, I'd like to thank everyone involved for their continued support in finding our daughter, Ayla.
I have no idea what happened to Ayla, or who is responsible. I will not make accusations or insinuations towards anyone until the police have been able to prove who's responsible for this.
Ayla was in my sole custody at the time of her disappearance per agreement between her mother and I because she was temporarily unable to care for Ayla. I have shared every piece of information possible with the police. Contrary to some statements floating around out there, I have been in communication with Ayla's mother over the last couple of weeks. The Waterville police have the transcripts from my phone for verification of those communications.
It has always been my intention to have a shared parenting arrangement with Ayla's mother and I will continue to work towards that when Ayla is returned to us.
My family and friends will continue to do everything we can to assist in this investigation and to get Ayla back home.
We appreciate the media respecting our privacy at this time. If anyone has any information that might be helpful, please contact Waterville police at 207-680-4700.

Crews expand search area for missing Maine toddler

December 21, 2011


WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) — The area being searched for a missing 20-month-old girl in Maine is being expanded to include trails and more waterways, and the number of tips from the public has grown to more than 160, police said Wednesday.

A stream has already been drained in the search for Ayla Reynolds, and Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey said additional waterways will be checked as the area grows outward from the girl's house. The Maine Marine Patrol is searching the Kennebec River.

Fifty trained volunteers from the Maine Search and Rescue Association were joining 75 to 80 law enforcement officers already participating in the search, which entered the fifth day on Wednesday, he said.

Searchers have looked through trash bins and even lowered portions of Messalonskee Stream, looking for signs of Ayla. The FBI continued Wednesday to go door-to-door in a "knock and talk" campaign.

About 70 people gathered late Wednesday afternoon in the First Congregational Church for a candlelight vigil.
 ::snipping2::

I don't like Ayla's parents at all!
no one related to Ayla attended the candle light vigil..no one..not dad, not mom, not grand parents..the mom's side of the family blamed it on the weather...ah hum...what was wrong with the days since she disappeared that none of you came to the area to look for this child??

 ::MonkeyNoNo::  Someone representing the family could should have made an appearance, even if was brief.  JMHO 

::MonkeyNoNo::  There are times I wish I had the power to be judge, jury and executioner.  Somebody needs to step up and take the sperm donor out to a secluded area for a "talk".  If that doesn't provide any answers, then the egg donor should get the same treatment.  One of them knows where this baby is.  The other thing that needs to happen is the dissolution of the PC crap that gives us defense attorneys like Baez, Mason, Tacopina & Green.  America has been dumbed down enough, it's time to re-instate the principles of common decency and personal responsibility. 

Here here!

I'd like to know if there was any way the sperm donor found out about the egg donor filing with the court? I know the egg donor says otherwise but what if he did? If he has connections with DHS...

...how hard would it be for him to find out about her filing right after she did?

Maine Law Enforcement Turning to Public for Crime-Solving Tips
By Josie Huang
December 21, 2011

A deluge of tips is coming in to investigators of the highly-publicized case of Ayla Reynolds, the missing toddler from Waterville. But lower-profile police work doesn't get the same response. Police departments say they need the public's assistance more than ever, given tight municipal budgets and reduced staffs. So they're using technology to make it easier for the public to help.

"We've gotten tips on things like homicides all the way down to panhandlers bothering people," says Portland Police Commander Vern Malloch. His department allows people to text anonymous tips to police. Malloch says that thousands of tips have come through Text-A-Tip more than a year after the program started.

Other departments around Maine are trying to generate tips by harnessing social media such as Facebook. "A lot of what we use it for is if we're looking for a suspect and we have still photographs or something that we're trying to identify," says Andy Robitaille, a crime analyst for the Lewiston Police Department who helps oversee a Facebook page, a Twitter feed, and a newly-launched Google+ page.

Robitaillle says that with more than 3,200 "likes," the department's Facebook page is the most useful of the bunch. It includes a link to submit a tip.

Dear Lord - Please watch over those who from their pure heart, search for this child.  Only you know where she is and what is her fate and it is in you that we me trust to bring he home. 

 ::MonkeyAngel::

the egg donor seems really spiteful towards the sperm donor and probably rightfully so! I would not put it past egg donor to have called him and told him that she had filed for full custody.  could have been what put him over the edge and took his anger out on this little girl...jmo....

Breaking news from this station, Ayla's fathers home is now an official crime scene. Police will hold a news conference at 2:00 pm Eastern time. The link above will take you to it.

I missed it. Anything new other than her dad's home being a CS?

I hadn't thought of that. She said she didn't but that could be a lie.

Amen

 ::MonkeyAngel::

also, the mother said that she was told not to come search by the police..LE said that they had not heard that before when asked by a reporter...sooooo..she lied about that..can you imagine, a mother so lazy or uncaring to not even come to the area where her baby disappears from to at least pass out fliers? or, how bout a vigil that strangers and others arranged for your child and neither you nor the father care enough to attend?  grrrrrr!!!!

Police crime scene tape surrounds toddler's home
 ::snipping2::
The state police Evidence Response Team as well as Incident Command and Communication trucks are also at the Waterville home — at 29 Violette Ave. — where the 20-month-old child was reported missing Saturday morning. Yellow crime scene tape has been placed around the property.
 
At a 2 p.m. press conference, Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey said it is still considered a missing child case and he said the crime scene tape is merely meant as a barrier to aid officers searching the home. A cadaver dog is also included in the search, he said.

Closed captioning of: Search continues for missing Maine toddler

    we begin this half hour with that frantic search for a missing toddler. we go to waterville, maine for the latest. good morning.

    good morning, carl . it is hard to find a place in this small, new england town where investigators have not looked but police are expanding their search to include trails and new waterways hoping for a happy ending to this mystery. inside a local church wednesday, a solemn crowd held candles, praying for a flicker of hope, as the search expands for missing 20-month-old ayla reynolds . miles away , a mother in pain.

    i want to see her face. i want to see her eyes. i want to feel her touch. i want to tell her i love her and i feel like i can't --

    police say ayla was last seen friday night by her father, justin dipietro . he told investigators he put his little girl to bed in her green, polka dot pjs bearing the words "daddy's princess." the next morning he says ayla was gone and the search for her began. on wednesday, fighting icy conditions, police drained frozen ponds and searched a nearby river. the fbi , going door to door .

    we want to rule out every possible area we can in our efforts to find ayla .

    ayla 's father who has not commented publicly, released a statement saying, quote, i have no idea what happened to ayla or who is responsible.

    my biggest fear is that she is scared and she has nobody to turn to.

    trista reynolds says she last saw her daughter a month ago and told the associated press ayla was staying with dipietro while she was in rehab. according to police , ayla recently broke her arm from an accidental fall and was reportedly still wearing her soft cast the night she went missing. reynolds says she and ayla 's father don't have a formal custody agreement but the day before ayla disappeared she filed for full custody.

    since she's been there she has a broken arm , she ended up missing. you know what i mean ? i wasn't trying to be secretive by going to the court. i just didn't want to fight with him anymore.

    police have not named any suspects and say both parents are cooperating. in a statement dipietro says i have shared every piece of information possible with the police . my family and friends will continue to do everything we can to assist in this investigation and to get ayla back home. as investigators and volunteers scour the area, a mother waits and worries.

    where is she? because i'd like to know. i just want her home and i want her home safe and sound.

    nbc news did reach out to ayla 's father. he did not return our phone calls . we also reached out to maine's office of child and family services . they declined to comment as well. investigators say they received more than 160 tip calls from people in the public. they intend to follow through and check in on all of those leads. carl ?

    nbc 's aditi roy, thanks. nbc news analyst clint van zandt is a former fbi profiler. good morning. ayla 's dad said he put her down at 8:00 p.m ., went back to check on her 12 hours later and she was gone. what is the first thing that jumps out at you?

    well, 12 hours. i am a parent and grandparent and i can't ever recall a time when i put one of my children or grandchildren down and either didn't go back and check on them, realize there was supposedly a second baby sleeping in the same bedroom, and there was the victim's biological father , his mother, and some people who were nonrelated so there were a number of people within this house . someone, surely, would have had some reason to go in that bedroom. so i think law enforcement has to figure out the reason why nobody had any contact with that little girl for 12 hours.

    speaking of law enforcement , you've been involved in cases like this.

    yes.

    what are the police and fbi doing right now behind the scenes ?

    one thing they have to do, carl , is create a timeline. they have to take a look at like 24 hours before until the baby was actually reported missing. we know the father says the last time he saw the child was 8:00 at night. who can confirm that? who saw the child actually other than the father? and again, as you showed in the setup piece, it's a relatively small house . who could have got in and out of that house ? what other known offender when there are other adults and a baby in the house would have not disturbed anybody and carried the child out?

    state authorities reportedly gave the father temporary custody when the mother was in rehab. then the day before she goes missing she files for sole custody . how seriously should police consider the custody dispute?

    timing is always very important. as investigators you don't like a coincidence. that's a very significant coincidence. but, carl , you know we look back in time and there are very few children that are actually taken out of their house . you and i can go back to 1932 . we looked at the lindbergh kidnapping , we know of polly klaas , elizabeth smart was taken from her bedroom. nbc has covered the story of lisa irwin, the little girl who went missing in kansas city in october. even though there are very few times a child is taken out of their own bedroom about 110 times a child is kidnapped by an unknown person each year, could this be one of them or could it be something perhaps more sinister that originated maybe even inside the house from where that little girl disappeared? that's what law enforcement , the fbi has to figure out.

    the second missing toddler case in which the family members allege a stranger took the child . you point out the odds of it being a stranger are very small in part because of the challenges of knowing a child was there and being able to get in and out of the house undetected.

    yes, again, with that many people allegedly in the house , carl , it is a very small house , i mean, who targets that house ? who drives in the middle of the night ? who comes through her door or like in the other story in kansas city , supposedly crawls through a window to target that little child and take them out again? is it plausible? yes. perhaps. is it possible? yes. but law enforcement again, they know the odds are far more important when you think of the people within the house and those closest to the child as opposed to an unknown offender. but that's why you do a two-track investigation. track number one says, we'll go along with the idea. it was some unknown predator who got in under mysterious circumstances. track number two says we'll go with the probability that it's those closest to the child but, again, it's a terrible time any time a child goes missing. we're supposed to protect children like that.

    yes.

    and especially this time of the year.

    thank you very much.

Thanks for the links Monkeys.  ::HelloKitty::

Yes we do.

God help us with this horrific plague of awful sick parents. So many precious babies, all deserving to have safe loving happy homes and denied it by their selfish sick sick sick parents!!!

Homicide prosecutors visit home where 20-month-old Ayla disappeared

WATERVILLE, Maine — Investigators put up crime-scene tape around the home of the father of a 20-month-old girl who has been missing since last weekend and two of the state’s top homicide prosecutors were called to the house Thursday as the search for her entered its sixth day.

Meanwhile, national experts not associated with the case said the chances that Ayla was abducted are slim.

But Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey insisted that Ayla Reynolds’ disappearance remains a missing child case, that “everything remains open and we’re not discounting anything.” Massey told reporters that the investigation is now focused on an expanded search of the house in a neighborhood of neatly kept tract homes.

“That is the last place Ayla was seen. So as you might expect we’re going to give a lot of attention to that particular house, looking for any clues where she might be or where it would help us to locate her,” Massey said.

“We need to go through that as thoroughly as we can, just like we do in any other investigation.”

Police use cadaver dogs in search for missing toddler

Staff Report

WATERVILLE — Despite police's use of cadaver dogs Thursday, authorities implied they still had hope of finding 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds alive.

"This is still a missing child case," said Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey at a 2 p.m. press conference.

Investigators on Thursday put up tape around the home of Ayla, who's been missing since last weekend as the search for her entered its sixth day.

Assistant Attorney General Bill Stokes and the Maine State Police mobile unit were at Ayla's home in Waterville, while cadaver dogs were searching an area in the woods near the Waterville airport.

Authorities offer $30,000 reward in case of missing Maine toddler
By the CNN Wire Staff
updated 4:15 PM EST, Mon December 26, 2011


(CNN) -- Authorities in Waterville, Maine, on Monday offered a $30,000 reward for information that would lead investigators to find 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds.

The young girl was last reported seen more than a week ago, and police are now confident that someone was involved in taking Ayla from her house, said Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey.

"This is the largest reward that I can remember for a missing-person case in Maine's history," he told reporters. "I'm very hopeful that this will encourage anyone that has any information to call the Waterville police."

Ayla is described as having blond hair, being approximately 2 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing 30 pounds. She was last seen wearing green pajamas with white polka dots and the words "Daddy's Princess" across the front. When she disappeared, the girl had her arm in a soft cast.

Missing Maine toddler Ayla Reynolds was kidnapped, police say
By Katie Wiggin
December 27, 2011

(CBS/AP) WATERVILLE, Maine - For the first time in the ongoing investigation of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds, police have said they believe she has been kidnapped. Investigators said Monday the 20-month-old was taken away and did not walk out on her own.
Police Chief Joseph Massey said at a news conference, "At this point in the investigation, we are confident that Ayla did not walk out of the house by herself."

CBS Boston reports Massey would not hypothesize on whether her abductor was a family member, someone who lived in her father's house, or a stranger.

"We believe that someone removed Ayla from the house and that is what our investigation is focusing," says Massey. "I don't want to speculate beyond that, because we do not know who took Ayla out of that house and under what circumstances she was removed."
 ::snipping2::
Law enforcement officials say the search for the toddler is ongoing, but lately, tips have dried up.
 ::snipping2::

God, I hope someone in the family did kidnap this child because that would mean she was alive. I want to believe she is safe somewheres. God, knows we need a miracle and a happy outcome amongst all of these heartbreaking cases.

My gut however, thinks the sperm donor had something to do with this. I hope I can be proven wrong. Where are you baby girl? ::MonkeyAngel::

Grandfather: Missing Maine girl's dad not communicating with family
By the CNN Wire Staff

(CNN) -- The grandfather of a missing 20-month-old Maine girl repeated over and over Wednesday night that the girl's father has not been in touch with the family, even as the father reiterated he doesn't know what happened to her.

"Nothing, not a word, nothing," Ron Reynolds told HLN's Nancy Grace. "My daughter tried to talk to him. Nothing's coming back ... nothing is being said."

Police said Wednesday they have received 370 leads in the disappearance of Ayla Reynolds, who was last seen December 16 when her father, Justin Dipietro, said he put her to bed.

Earlier Wednesday, Dipietro said he doesn't know what happened to her.
 ::snipping2::

In the comment section of the Huffington Post regarding the mother's interview stating the father isn't talking to her, someone posted this comment:


"The girls body as thrown into the river on route 25 in Limington. The father went into a rage and killed her after finding out about the mother court action. I know this family and they all into drugs the father is a dangerous sociio path. He is in hiding from guilt. The girls body will show up soon."

UPDATED: Mother of missing toddler wants to talk to father

The Associated Press

WATERVILLE — The mother of a 20-month-old girl who went missing nearly two weeks in Maine is appealing to the toddler's father to contact her.

Trista Reynolds told NBC's "Today" show on Thursday that she has not communicated with Justin DiPietro since their daughter, Ayla, went missing in Waterville. She said she has questions that only he can answer since he's the last person to have seen her before she was reported missing on Dec. 17.

Asked if she thought DiPietro was involved with Ayla's disapperance, Reynolds was ambivalent.

“I don’t know,’’ she said. “Part of me feels yes, and a part of me feels no. He said he’s not in hiding, but why won’t he come out? Why won’t he talk to me? Why is he staying away? What is he so afraid of, to not come out and talk to me?’’

Reynolds' appeal came a day after DiPietro issued a second statement, thanking investigators and insisting that he did nothing to harm his daughter.

Missing girl's father: 'Return her safely'
DiPietro wants to set record straight on disappearance

By Doug Harlow dharlow@mainetoday.com
Staff Writer

WATERVILLE -- The father of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds said Wednesday that he would never harm his daughter and implored whoever has the 20-month-old to bring her home safe.

In his second public statement in as many weeks, Justin DiPietro, 24, said he wanted to set the record straight on his daughter's disappearance.

"I have to believe that Ayla is with somebody and I just want that person to find the courage to do the right thing and find a way to return her safely," DiPietro said in a hand-written statement released Wednesday afternoon by the Waterville Police Department. "Even if that means dropping her off at a church or a hospital or some safe place."
 ::snipping2::

Hi Klaasend & MuffyBee,

Yeah, this sounds, unfortunately, about right to me too. :(  But I'm most interested in who exactly wrote this and if they are or did contact LE with this information, they seem pretty specific - It does seem just a matter of time til they find the poor baby -
Sad, you see time again, these poor children being taken out of the frying pan and into the fire - Yes, the mom has drug issues that she seems to be trying to get hold of, but it seems to me the dad may also have them,(in addition to an anger/abuse problem) just because he isn't openly addressing them, he gets the kid, instead of another family member, like a grandparent or sibling who might be better qualified at this point to step in until a parent is okay.
I hope there is a special place in hell, I really do

and Klaasend, regarding the father's quote that he would never harm a child - Michael Plumadore said the same thing and we all know how that ended..LIARS

Yep, I was thinking the SAME thing.

Ayla Reynolds Update: Forensic Team Back At Violette Ave. Home
by Rob Poindexter - December 30th 2011 04:51pm -
 ::snipping2::
At the house on Violette Avenue where Ayla was last seen the scene looks a bit different.

The State Police forensic team was back there again today and for the first time they appeared to have roped off part of the backyard near a shed.

Members of the State Police, wearing gloves and boots, were in and out of the house and at one point they removed a paper bag from the house. We're not sure what was in that bag or if it's significant at all.

Our Central Maine crew is working hard on this story and they'll join us at 5:30 with the very latest.

The above was just on my local news...police ? are suppose to make an announcement, but no word when.

5:49 PM, Dec 30, 2011  

Since the investigation began, Waterville Police have been issuing an update on the investigation to the media each afternoon. On Friday, officials said it would be issued sometime during the evening.

WATERVILLE, Maine — Investigators and concerned people across the nation held out hope Friday that missing Waterville toddler Ayla Reynolds will be found unharmed, though missing children experts said that with each passing day the job of finding her becomes more difficult.

Authorities on Friday refused to say whether they have any suspects in the case. Ayla’s parents, Justin DiPietro of Waterville and Trista Reynolds of Portland, have continued to cooperate, investigators said.

Ayla Reynolds' Disappearance Now a Criminal Investigation    Submitted: 12/30/2011

Police chief: 'Foul play' suspected in Maine toddler's disappearance
By the CNN Wire Staff
updated 9:48 PM EST, Fri December 30, 2011


(CNN) -- A central Maine police chief said Friday that authorities now believe there was "foul play" in the disappearance two weeks ago of a 20-month-old girl.

Ayla Reynolds was last seen December 16 when her father, Justin Dipietro, said he put her to bed. Dipietro -- who has insisted that he has "no idea what happened to Ayla" -- later reported the girl missing.

Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey previously has said authorities were confident that someone took Ayla from the house. But in his comments Friday, issued in a statement, Massey went a step further in saying the case "has evolved from the search for a missing child to a criminal investigation."

Given this shift, the Maine State Police will now take over as the lead in the investigation from Waterville police, according to Massey.

"We base our conclusions on evidence gathered by investigators during the past two weeks," the police chief said.

Psychics among hundreds of tipsters in Ayla case
By Doug Harlow dharlow@mainetoday.com
Staff Writer
WATERVILLE -- Hundreds of tips have been phoned in to police investigating the disappearance of 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds, some of which are coming from people who are calling themselves psychics.
"As of right now, we have received a total of 500 tips -- 75 of those have been from psychics," Deputy Waterville Police Chief Charles Rumsey said Friday. "Each tip we receive -- psychic or not -- is assigned to an investigator. Contact is made with the person providing the tip, if possible. They follow up on each tip to the extent possible given the specificity of the information provided."

Psychics claim to have visions of missing people and specific places and offer police tips on where to find missing children. One such psychic from California this week sent the Morning Sentinel a map and a detailed description of his vision of Ayla Reynolds. A reporter went to the site, but there was nothing there.

Rumsey would not comment on the information from the psychic from California or other specific tips.

 ::MonkeyMad::

I have been reading since the beginning but can hardly bear to post on this case, I have thought dad was hinky all along and can relate to the anger the grandfather feels and the frustration mom feels, I can't imagine my child disapparing and the other parent not speaking to me about what he knew or his recollection, I am not sure I could contain my anger and what I might do.....not a shot in hell he had no clue what happened, I checked the property appraiser site and that has was only 988 squ ft with other adults, 3 that we know of and another child in the bed/room with Ayla? BS....that is bs and he knows it, also can anyone recall a parent not even making a stmt other than some stmt an atty (yes, I believe for certain the first stmt if ot the second was no doubt drafted by an atty ), and not using the media to beg, plead for his daughter's return? To my knowledge he has never been on tv, and a written stmt handed to LE and then from LE to the media doesn't come close to cutting it, where is he? Where is his mother who was there and owns the home and who was the last one to see Ayla outside of anyone from that home.....the neighbor didn't even know he had a daughter so I think this case is sadly going to end like the majority of others, I just pray they had all the evidence they need and I do think they knew all along it was foul play since the house has been locked down with LE sitting outside and a huge spotlight since the beginning....

Curious about the window removal ..



A window of the modest vinyl-sided house on the driveway side of DiPietro's house had been removed and appeared to be part of the measuring detail.

I hope this is the quiet before the storm and not the case going cold. ::CowboySmiley::

IM - I had read in earlier reports that the house was small, but the pictures make it it appear somewhat larger.  I would have never thought it was that small.  Two bedrooms, small kitchen, living room/dining comb at most.   ::CowboySmiley::

  I agree, the pictures gave me a skewed idea of the size, so I looked it up, I can imagine how someone may pretend not to have a clue if their child disappeared in a home that was 5000 or 6000 square feet, but I wouldn't generally believe it except in a case like Elizabeth Smart where the sister witnessed the abduction, but 988 sq ft filled with at least 3 adults and I heard a rumor of 5 adults, 2 kids is VERY small....I will see if I can pull the plans on it, that is smaller than many apartments...

Quoting myself , but Zillow has it as a 3 bd, 1 ba which makes the rooms even smaller...I wish their site had a layout like my county does, with square footage broken down and layout, or course I live in Florida so everything is available.

Police Turn Waterville Home Back Over To Ayla's Family
Violette Avenue Home Was Where Ayla Reynolds Was Last Seen
POSTED: 7:39 pm EST December 30, 2011
UPDATED: 8:33 am EST January 2, 2012
Video at link.
WATERVILLE, Maine -- Maine Department of Public Safety Spokesperson Steve McCausland said police have turned the home on Violette Avenue back over to the family of Ayla Reynolds.

According to authorities, the Waterville home was the last place the 20-month-old was seen when her father put her to bed on Dec. 16.

Investigators spent weeks searching the house as part of the case.

Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey said investigators believe foul play has occurred in connection with the disappearance of Ayla.

Massey said detectives based that conclusion on evidence gathered during the past two weeks.

He said for this reason, he has asked Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit to take over the investigation into 20-month-old Ayla's disappearance.

Massey said Waterville police will work with state police and other agencies in helping solve what happened to Ayla.

On Friday, a shed in the back yard of Justin DiPietro's home was roped off and investigators, wearing gloves and boots, were in and out of the house. At one point, they removed a paper bag from the house. It is unknown what was in the bag.

WTF? I am coming on to ask for the person who has my child to give her back.....hey dude, you are about 16 days too late and I don't buy the fact that using the media to show how much pain it "should" have caused you to lose your daughter would hinder the investigation, you haven't even had a relationship with her but a few months.......GRRR, and I am pretty d@mn certain that the night you "lost" her wasn't a normal night FCS, Ayla is gone from a tiny house full of adults so BS again. I am not sure why but I want to slap the chit out of him and heaven help me if I were grandpa Ron or her mom and he would only text me and not get with me to tell me what happened that night, well there would be more than Ayla missing in Waterville, I can assure you that. D@mn sperm donor prolly po'd that after hr mom filed legal papers since there was no custody agreement period, that he'd have to pay child support and with no job, living with mommy, a GF and partying to do that just might crimp his style. ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad::

Sick of all these families and can't even go to the thread with trash incubator who left her kids with men over and over until one killed her and did the unimaginable....when is this going to end????? God help these babies, they have trash and selfish parents who really don't give a crap.

I just read one of the latest interviews, he wasn't on camera but spoke to the reporters, odd choice of words when he mentioned he thought someone had her and was taking good care of her BUT he stated she probably thought it was all a game to Ayla and that she had adapted...well, for one you can tell he hasn't been involved very much in her life to state that, surely he doesn't believe it???? Seriously Justin...

Ayla's father: ‘It’s gone on long enough’
DiPietro speaks with ‘Today’ show, Kennebec Journal
WATERVILLE — Justin DiPietro sat in the sunlit living room at 29 Violette Ave., the home where his missing daughter was last seen, and pleaded for her return.

“I hope that whoever had the courage to come into this house and take her has the courage to bring her back,” DiPietro said Monday during an exclusive interview with the Kennebec Journal. “It’s gone on long enough.”

DiPietro’s daughter, 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds, has been missing since Dec. 17. Her disappearance has been the focus of a massive multi-agency investigation and the subject of national media attention.

With his mother, Phoebe DiPietro, and older brother, Lance DiPietro, seated nearby, DiPietro also said he wanted to clarify a widespread rumor regarding the hours before Ayla was reported missing. He said some media outlets and blogs reported there was a party at the DiPietro home on Dec. 16.

“There was no party,” he said.

Phoebe DiPietro nodded in agreement. She also offered a simple plea to anyone who might know about Ayla’s whereabouts.

“I just want her back,” she said, tearfully.

DiPietro, 24, said he wanted to thank the community for posting a $30,000 reward for information that leads investigators to Ayla.

lol

Interesting mom (Justin's mom) works for the state of Maine, found her email a few days ago and while it's not for DCS it does make me wonder if someone got word to Justin about the filing in court.....I feel so much for the grandfather and find his emotions exactly what they should be, I can promise if he wouldn't talk to me nor my daughter, had refused to send pictures or let Ayla talk to me (well, my dad would have been in the car the first occurence, but he doesn't take any crap when it comes to his grands)....their would be another missing person or two in Waterville.

I agree but also have been through extended periods of not seeing my grands because of ongoing custodial litigation between my daughter, bio-mom, and their dad.  In most cases, until a custodial agreement is in place, possession is nine-tenths of the law.  LE will not get involved without custodial agreements, and not even then in Texas.   ::MonkeyMad::

I am so sorry flutter......that would push me over the edge but I do know they get ot wrong , we have laods o cases where DCF gave the child to a parent with more connections or money and poof, they are gone or dead. I can't say what I would do, but I can imagine and it would be UGLY......I do wonder why on earth Justin went to get ayla from her mom and aunt and I know they had an agreement , but I think that was a safety agreement and not a true custody arrangement and went to LE in Portland to physically take her-seems she had done fine with them and not so fine with daddy and gramy Phoebe. Many want to crucify her mom for needing rehab for alcohol if what I read is correct and that would make more sense due to the fact it was 10 days, I applaud any mother for getting whatever help or tools necessary to be a better mom, and not one person is perfect so I am grateful she got help.....that being said, I can't imagine the rage I'd feel if baby daddy would only text me, and not let me speak to ,my child......as I stated not just me, but my dad would have done something that he should regret but wouldn't, children come first and obviously there were major issues with this arrangement. Bruises, after a certain point refusal to talk to mom's side of family, no photos and then she disappears on his watch, and he literally went into hiding.....and refuses to talk to mom or grandad. I wonder how his appearance may have changed during that time frame and statistically speaking anytime a child this young disappears from the home and a tiny one at that, someone in the family is involved ......when they are older, prepubescent etc., their is probably about a 10-15% chance it could be a sex offender and that probably goes up with age. I guess this one hit me harder than some of the others because when I saw her photo, she looked JUST like my daughter at that age and I'd rip her dad apart with my own bare hands if he pulled this crap and disappeared my 20 mos old child....some of the others I can't even follow, too horrific and infuriating. I honestly don't think she will come home alive, and it pizzes me off. Maybe she didn't have the best of everything with mom's family, but it is obvious she was loved. Reminds me of HaLeigh  Cummings "that's all I know"....."I don't know nothing" blah blah blah, except Ron was in the public eye pretending to care, and Justin IMO only came out because the heat he was taking had to be too much and WTH is his mom or anyone else in that tiny house?? So abnormal, seems they are willing to just accept that she's gone, no big deal so I will go on with my life, and while I am ranting.....his letters and especially the first one had ATTORNEY written all over it, it was way to carefully worded for a man/child of so little worlds and a blank stare that made him appear to be less than all there IYKWIM......it reminded me of my druggie brother, and if you asked him anything that required any thinking skills beyond "huh", "I dunno" and "ummm", he would have nothing else to add, basically a blank stare while they are trying to figure out WTH a word means. Ok, rant over for a bit.....maybe I need to just stay off here since I am mad as hell anymore!

FRIENDSWOOD, TX (NEWS CENTER)- A center in Texas that helps find missing children is now working to bring Ayla Reynolds home.

Ayla Reynolds is from Waterville. She was reported missing by her father on the morning of December 17th.

The Laura Recovery Center is working with the girl's father, Justin DiPietro, and asking volunteers in the United States and Canada to post photos of the little girl.

I don't think Laura Recovery Center would get involved without some outreach from the parents.  I guess that means they are talking to search organizations but not LE.

By BEN McCANNA Morning Sentinel
WATERVILLE - The past 20 days have been difficult for Justin DiPietro, he says. His 21-month-old daughter is missing and widespread speculation has often focused on him.
Particularly, from the host of a daily HLN television program, he said.

"I will publicly invite Nancy Grace to come spend a day with me," DiPietro said Thursday in an exclusive interview with the Morning Sentinel. "Nancy Grace, please come see me. Do you want to spend a day with me? Do you want to see what I'm going through? Do you want to see the ins and outs of it? I invite you to."

Father explains missing Maine girl's broken arm
January 7, 2012

Looking at the interview, an odd choice of words perked up my ears.  When asked to describe the events that night as far as bedtime, he said a "normal" night.  Remember Casey Anthony describing a "normal" day.  May mean nothing, but got my attention.  This guy doesn't even know Ayla very well, so how could he have such an attachment to her?

http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/07/justice/maine-missing-girl/index.html?eref=rss_mostpopular

The grandmother of a missing Maine toddler says no family members in the home the night the girl vanished had anything to do with her disappearance.

"I feel violated. Somebody came into my home and took my granddaughter who was sleeping," Phoebe DiPietro said during her first television interview about Ayla Reynolds, the now 21-month-old toddler.

Ayla disappeared December 17. Police have said they believe foul play was involved. They also say the DiPietros have fully co-operated in the investigation.

Sitting in her living room, steps away from Ayla's bedroom, DiPietro said she heard nothing while she slept that night. She wasn't the last one to go to bed that night and wasn't sure whether the doors were locked. She and her son suspect the child was abducted.

 A $30,000 reward has been offered in the search for 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds."I'm sure that eventually they will be able to let us know how someone go into the house whether it was an unlocked window, an unlocked door, I don't know," DiPietro said. 'If I knew, it wouldn't have happened," she added.

Investigators have said there were several adults in the DiPietro home that night,

Waterville - Ayla Reynolds' father is now offering an explanation of why his 21-month-old daughter has a broken arm.

Justin DiPietro says the accident happened when he tripped and fell while carrying Ayla and landed on top of her.

DiPietro told the Morning Sentinel that he was carrying a bag of groceries and Ayla when he tripped and fell on the stairs leading into the kitchen and landed on top of the toddler.

Ayla Reynolds' grandmother speaks out

Video at link.
(NECN/CNN: Susan Candiotti, Waterville, Maine) - There are new details in the case of a missing toddler in Maine.

It has been three weeks since 21-month-old Ayla Reynolds vanished from her home. Police say they're conducting a criminal investigation. Now, Ayla's paternal grandmother is speaking publicly for the first time.

In her first TV interview, Alya's grandmother, Phoebe DiPietro says she is living a nightmare.

"You're waiting for a phone call, hoping the police have your granddaughter," DiPietro said.

So far, that phone call hasn't come in. Not a single word about what happened to Ayla Reynolds.

The toddler disappeared in the middle of the night, just one week before Christmas.

"She's quiet, very sweet, her eyes, she's got the bluest eyes and the longest eyelashes," DiPietro said.
 ::snipping2::

 ::MonkeyShocked::

Interesting........GMA Dipietro after her interview stating there was no party and that she heard nothing is now "claryinging"........she wasn't even there? So my question is how in the he77 would she have known anything and answered those questions on her first interview which I thought was a crock to begin with but WOW ::MonkeyMad::

http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/08/us/maine-missing-toddler/

During her interview with CNN, DiPietro said Friday that she "didn't hear anything" when asked if she heard any noise the night Ayla disappeared. She added that there was not a party at the house, noted she wasn't the last one to go to bed and said she wasn't sure whether the doors to the house were locked.
 
On Sunday, DiPietro said she wanted to make clear that she wasn't home the night Ayla disappeared and that her information about what happened that night came from others.
 
She said she didn't specify that she wasn't home that night in her initial CNN interview because she was trying to follow the directions of police, who have instructed her not to discuss details about the night Ayla disappeared.

And it only took her two full days to figure this out.....boy, this family is quick ..... N O T! ::MonkeyEek::

this child did not have a chance with the family that she was born into..I hope that there are no other children still living with either of the parents...Mom has not even come to the area where her child disappeared from..no searching, no nothing...always an excuse of why she can't be there..I understand that she has another child, younger than Ayla I believe...Dad is lying through his teeth as  his mother, the grand mother did...apple does not fall far from the tree...

WATERVILLE, Maine, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Missing Maine toddler Ayla Reynolds' grandmother, Phoebe DiPietro, changing her earlier public comments, said she was not home the night the girl disappeared.

DiPietro told CNN Sunday she had been at another location, which she declined to disclose, Dec. 17 when the 21-month old child vanished.

In her initial public statements, she indicated she was among adults in the Waterville home where the baby had been.

Now why in the world would she lie . . . LE assuredly did not tell her to lie.  This is getting crazier and crazier.
 ::MonkeyMad::

I wonder if NG will respond to his offer.  If she does and spends the day with him, he will be sorry for his bravado.   ::CowboySmiley::

My mother use to tell us as children that if you are caught in a lie everything you have said before or after is suspect. This grandmother just blew her credibility in her story of how Ayla broke her arm. If I was her son I'd be furious but then he sat there and listened to her and didn't correct the misinformation being put out by his mom. Therefor IMOO neither can be believed.

I was flipping around and heard Justin has an attorney?? I have the flu so maybe I am just hallucinating, but I could have sworn I heard he had one but he wouldn't give a name, I better go check and BRB.

Heard the same thing on NG but his name has not been released or whether he is criminal or civil.  More non-information from Justin. 

I have done a little digging with the information that we have. It is aggravating not knowing exactly who was in that house that night. But so far this is what I have. Some of it is from ancestry.com but was very limited.

I am trying to find Lance's facebook page again. I had it up last night and now I can not find it again.

I hope it isn't true, but that stmt he released the first time sounded like it came straight from the pen of an atty....and I agree SSDD from him, but he did finally speak to Ayla's mommy, what the heck it's only been over 3 weeks.  ::MonkeyMad::  ::MonkeyHang::

Could be, but I thought when he first spoke or maybe it was the 2nd written stmt he mentioned not even knowing Nale, I guess we shall see (eventually). I am praying they don't find her tomorrow in the dive :(  and on a side note if my child's dad "lost" her/him and refused to speak to me for 3+ weeks, well he would need a mortician and I'd need the lawyer ::monkeywine2::

I wonder who Micheal is?

This one has me so confused, lies from grandma, and literally silence for weeks from one side of the family ......never seen anything like it.

Not sure yet who Michael is. As you know sometimes that stuff isn't always accurate. I agree Granny knows something....put pressure on Granny and I think she will crack, jmo.
I did find this from snooping on FB. (This is apparently a "sister" of Phoebe, she also mentions her nephew Justin and post about the baby missing):

Officials say dive teams from the Maine Warden Service and the state police will begin searching bodies of water around Waterville for a toddler who's been missing since December.

Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland says the teams will continue searching Wednesday for 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds. The girl disappeared from her father's home on Dec. 17.

McCausland says the bodies of water that will be searched were selected by the warden service. Divers will begin searching in the morning and continue throughout the afternoon. McCausland says the locations of the dives will be made public on Wednesday.

Island, I meant to tell you that I hope you are feeling better soon. ::MonkeyAngel::

I hope the searches provide something. Police have been tight lipped about everything.
On Vinnie Politan (HLN), he mentioned that Justin's girlfriend's "sister" was arrested recently for drugs. It just goes to show what kind of people were around this child. I seriously can not remember any cases where drugs/drug us were at the center of a child's disappearance. I don't think this case will be any different either.
98% of the cases (it seems) that we see here are centered around worthless selfish parents and drugs. ::MonkeyMad::

Thanks Trimm. The Investigator said absolutely no one has been ruled out. He also said "3 adults and 2 children were in the house that night"

It makes it easy now to predict who was in the house that night (my theory):

1-Justin
2-Lance (Justin's brother)
3- Justin's Girlfriend
4-Ayla
5- Justin's girlfriends child or Ayla's young cousin that has been mentioned before.

I think it is odd Granny wasn't sleeping in the house as well and hasn't bothered to say where the hell she was.

Granny blatantly lied, period!! They are all covering their axx right now and it is closing in on them. Justin has about as much intelligence as a door knob on crack.....geez idiots::MonkeyMad::

morning monkeys,i so wish this was true for Ayla,and all the missing children

Subpoena seeks to track author of 'Ayla' poem
 ::snipping2::
Jones' poem was posted in pressherald.com's comment section under the pseudonym "Nomainer," following a story that appeared Monday. It read:
 
Away where no one can harm her again
 
Your life will be happy now
 
Loved by those that took you to safety
 
A new life far from the insanity in Maine
 
The letters that begin the poem's four lines spell "Ayla," Jones pointed out, an idea she got after receiving a poem from a pen pal.

The subpoena to The Press Herald called for the media company's representatives to appear before a grand jury in February with Jones's contact information. The subpoena did not indicate that any indictment is imminent, Stokes said

In summary (in case my post is confusing):
I believe Courtney Roberts is the girlfriend of Justin. Her sister Briana was arrested on/about Jan 9th in a major drug bust in Maine.Briana and Courtney are both listed on each others friends list. Elisha (Justin's sister who I think has a child of her own as well) is on Courtney's friends list. After watching the news conference Trimm posted earlier, LE was very vague and elusive about the drug task force being involved in some way or another in this case. As always, drugs appear to be at the center of this case.

Trista Reynolds struggling with evolving emotions as search for Ayla continues
By Christopher Cousins, BDN Staff
Posted Jan. 12, 2012, at 12:13 p.m.

PORTLAND, Maine — Trista Reynolds said she has gone from shocked to grief-stricken to furious as the search for her daughter, Ayla Reynolds, closes out its fourth week.

“For the past week or two I’ve found myself lashing out at everyone,” she said Wednesday during a lengthy interview with the Bangor Daily News. “Whenever I see her on the front page or on television, I think there’s no way that’s my little girl. Sometimes I have to pretend it’s not going on. If I don’t tell myself that sometimes, I don’t know how I could function.”

According to reports Ayla Reynolds father Justin DiPietro took a polygraph shortly after she disappeared. He nor police will discuss results
1 hour ago

 ::MonkeyEek::

Well, I guess that is one way to get around answering the question wrt the polygraph ::MonkeyNoNo::

http://www.kjonline.com/news/Missing-toddlers-father-took-polygraph-exam.html


asked for a polygraph on day one,” DiPietro said today during an interview with the Morning Sentinel. “I’ve taken one, and the results, I was never allowed to see them. It’s something you’re going to have to ask law enforcement about.”
 
DiPietro, 24, was told how he did on the test, Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said. He said he was baffled by DiPietro’s statement that he didn’t know the results.
 
“He knows how he did, because we told him,” McCausland said. “To say that he didn’t know, is just not true.”
 
McCausland would not say how DiPietro did. “That is something I can’t get into,” he said.
 
DiPietro said, “I know I went in there and smoked it. I told the truth and that’s that.”
 
When asked if police told him the results, DiPietro said. “They can tell me whatever they want. Again, I didn’t physically see the results.”
 
When asked if police told him he failed the test, DiPietro said, “That’s all irrelevant. I wanted to see the results myself. They’re not letting me see them. Why don’t they let the public see them?”
 
McCausland said the polygraph exam results would be difficult to read without training.
 
“It’s lines on a paper, similar to an electrocardiogram report,” he said. “The polygraph operator knows the results, but there’s no transcript or written text that goes with it.
 
“It’s very simiilar to doctors interpreting an EKG. Polygraph operators work in a similar fashion.”
 
DiPietro said he took one polygraph exam, administered by a single detective.
 
DiPietro wouldn’t say what he was asked, but briefly described the equipment.
 
“You’ve got things on your fingers, you’ve got things across your chest,” he said.
 
He also sat on a seat pad that was part of the polygraph exam equipment, he said.
 
Asked if other family members had taken a polygraph exam, DiPietro said he was not sure.
 
“I just know about myself,” he said. “Again, anything (police have) asked us to do, we’ve cooperated. We’ve made ourselves available to them.
 
“Anytime they’ve had a question about something, if they want us to come to the station ... more than willing. We’re cooperating. There’s nothing to hide here.”
 
McCausland said Maine State Police have three or more polygraph operators and the tests are used for investigative purposes and for pre-employment screening for Maine law enforcement officers.
 
He said the test results cannot be used as evidence in court cases.
 
Also on Friday, DiPietro said there were three children and three adults in his mother’s home on Violette Avenue the night before Ayla was reported missing. 
 
DiPietro said he and Ayla; his sister Elisha DiPietro, 23 and her young daughter; and his girlfriend Courtney Roberts, 24, and her young son, were all in the home. The Roberts are Portland residents.

 McCausland said at a Wednesday press conference there were three adults and two children in the home. Friday he said that was a mistake.
 
“There were two children in addition to Ayla,” McCausland said.
 
At that same press conference, McCausland said police encouraged the DiPietros to speak to the media.
 
DiPietro said Friday he felt some information should be left to the police to make public.

 
“I would rather let them be the ones to come out and talk about that night, if they feel it’s necessary,” DiPietro said of police. “I don’t really feel that’s up to us. If there are certain details they want to share, they should be the ones to come out and share those details.”
 
DiPietro also clarified a comment he made Wednesday to the Morning Sentinel regarding a large scale search of the Kennebec River and Messalonskee Stream by state divers.

Mother Of Missing Toddler Requests Lie Detector Test
POSTED: 8:09 am EST January 17, 2012

PORTLAND, Maine -- The mother of a 21-month-old girl who went missing a month ago said she's arranging with investigators for herself and other family members to take polygraph tests regarding her daughter's disappearance.

Trista Reynolds told the Bangor Daily News on Monday that she has been offering to take a lie detector test since the day her daughter disappeared.

about time that all of them took lie detector tests..jmo

Sigh. Well poor her huh? If we didn't know any better we may think she's the one that is an innocent little baby that endured her father breaking her arm and is missing. Suck it up Trista. Ayla should be number one priority right now, not you.

So much I I I I and me me me me!!!  ::MonkeyMad::

So true...People can be cruel but even crueler when on drugs and so many of these crimes against children involve drugs.

Vigil held for missing toddler Ayla Reynolds

Video at link.
 ::snipping2::
People gathered at the First Congregational Church in Waterville around 5:00 PM Tuesday. They prayed and sang together and also had time for quiet prayer.

Ayla's father, Jusin DiPietro, attended the ceremony along with his mother and brother. They did not speak, but sat in the front row wearing new shirts with Ayla's picture on them.
 ::snipping2::

agree...!!! she herself was in rehab and that is why the dad had Ayla in the first place..Trista has another baby..where did that child go while she was in rehab? notice that child is not missing.Thank God!..he/she was probably in a safe place..why wasn't Ayla? Ayla hardly knew her bio dad..Mom probably didn't know him very well either..

Toddler Ayla Reynold’s mother unable to complete polygraph test
By Christopher Cousins, BDN Staff
Posted Jan. 18, 2012, at 10:41 p.m
 ::snipping2::
Reynolds posted the following statement on the website www.aylareynolds.com:

“I have prepared this statement because I said that I would release the results of my lie detector test to the public. I took that test today.

“According to the test administrator, who was very courteous and professional, I was unable to complete the test due to a medical condition. It was suggested to me that after treatment by a doctor I would be able to finish the test, but the investigating authority is content with the general outcome of the incomplete test (as it stands).

“This is far from the result I wanted to share with the public, but I will take the advice of the administrator and seek attention for my medical condition so I can be healthy enough to be re-tested if required. In the meantime I wish that people will keep Ayla in their hearts and wish with all of us for her safe return.”
 ::snipping2::

That statement muddies the water even more than before.  What "medical condition" could she possibly have that she could be treated for and then complete the test. 

I am not a professional on polygraphs, so I sure would like some enlightenment here.   ::CowboySmiley::

flutter..God forbid, but maybe she is pregnant again?

If so, that is a strange way to phrase it.  You go to the doctor for the treatment of something that can be remedied -- head lice, for instance.  You are under a doctor's care when it is a long term issue like cancer, or , as you said God forbid, pregnancy. 

But she used this pregnancy excuse once before, so I wouldn't doubt that she is going to try something like it again.  I want proof!  I want to see the dead rabbit!!!! ::MonkeyJnBox::

I wondered too, but remember when I found out wayyyyyy back about my heart condition, MVP and SVT AND since I have very low blood pressure I can't take any heart meds period, they just give me xanax so I wouldn't freak out about it....but it would have been better had she stated what the condition was.

WRT the vigil that a friend of Justin's brother set up, the silence is defeaning ::MonkeyMad:: one of his last interviews (not a live one, just an article) he stated how upset he was that the media wasn't outside the house anymore and he had the perfect opportunity to plead for his daughter but said NOTHING. He reminds me of Ron Cummings and his last stmt wrt his poly and "smoking it" reminded me so much of Ron stating he and Misty passed with flying colors. Also he states he wasn't in hididng.......ermm, yeah dude whateer......you sure as he77 were and still are for all practical purposes, I swear I have stated this over and over and still mean it wrt how little info he has given Trista and IIRC talked to her on the phone once, other than that he tells her "nothing else to take about" blah blah blah, well I'd scratch his eyes out if that is how little crap he could eek out after one month and after I raised my child w/o his help and w/o his involvement and then she goes to his home and the chit hits the fan? I know she gets crap for going into rehab but I think that was a good thing, trying to get clean and it will be a huge battle now:(  Also nothing from his GF, or sis and his mom lied about that night which leads me to believe she very well may have lied about the night Ayla broke her arm. Also with 3 toddlers in the home and the three 20 something's, I find it even less likely that they all slept that long and nobody has a clue, sadly I think she may have been gone way before he reported her missing and when the visit to the bone dr was coming up and Trista and her family were presuring him to talk to Ayla (and again IIRC the last time they spoke was Dec 8th), he had to do something since he couldn't produce her. ::MonkeyNoNo:: Then the text messages he sent about worrying someone was going to take her seem like he was in CYA mode. I haven't seen anyone in his family dispute them and the way he reacts to negative press I have to believe it that was a lie they would have come out and stated it or had the atty draft another one of his incredulous statements to explain it for him.

OOOP's I had my scumbags confused.  Lena, Aliayah Lunsford's egg donor, was the one who couldn't take a poly because of pregnancy.  Too many cases with similar names.  Sorry! ::MonkeyMad::

I don't know Trim... she doesn't really seem like she is pleading does it?  She seems indignant.  Maybe it's just her personality.

also..as far as I know, she has never once traveled to where Ayla  was when she went missing..not to plead, not to search, pass out fliers..nada...that bothers me....I just think that she is apathetic towards her...

Yes I am pretty sure she did, once right after she disappeared and onec for a vigil where she did speak ......I know she's not mom of the yr by any stretch of the imagination but at least she got out there to keep Ayla in the news ASAP and even though she gets trashed about her alcohol addiction, but she did it anyway. I don't know how she can keep it together wrt fighting her addiction, if I was in her shoes, God only knows what I would do. For sure I would he mad as he77 at baby daddy and family and lashed out (frankly IMO they deserve it for keeping her in the dark and texting her ONLY until just recently when they talked, and then he said nothing more to discuss)....I would probably fall off the wagon with tht stress and more than likely I would be in jail for taking my arse to JD's house and demanding to know WTF happened. Granted it might not work and he'd prolly slam the door in her face, which would lead me to hurt him and then I would be in more trouble.

Her father also is appropriately infuriated and I think he knows he has to stay out of Waterville or end up in jail. I feel like this is HaLeigh Cumming all over again.

Missing toddler's mom: 'I think she's alive and holding on'
Mother of missing Ayla Reynolds didn't finish a polygraph, but said police are satisfied
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/46070009/ns/today-today_people/#.TxmAwfmwVcC

respectfully IM...from what I have read and heard on tv, she has never once went there..once because it was supposed to have bad weather and another excuse..can't remember..perhaps farther back on the thread you can see where we discussed it before..if she has been there recently, then I stand corrected, but I am pretty sure that I am right.
None of us know how we would behave if God forbids this happened to us..I do feel though that I would go to the last place that my child was to at least be closer to the investigation, pass out fliers, search myself etc..but everyone is different..

 ::MonkeyTongue::  I don't know if it's just me, but I do find it odd that Ayla was the only child of the 3 that was sleeping by herself especially considering Justin's g/f and her own son were downstairs with Justin.....why wouldn't he have Ayla with him too if he had Courtney and her lil boy.

 ::snipping2::

Ayla was sleeping in a room by herself, Harry said. Elisha DiPietro and her daughter shared a room, while DiPietro, Roberts and Roberts' son shared a room in the basement.

 ::snipping2::


Also this is the first time we hear about Justin NOT being the one who found Ayla missing, although many suspected it. Instead it was Elisha....still, I am sad for her that she was all alone while Elisha was with her toddler and her daddy was with Courtney and her toddler ::MonkeyNoNo::




http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/new-website-offers-fresh-details-on-ayla_2012-01-20.html

 ::MonkeyShocked::

OOPS...now another CLARIFICATION from the one that created the little light if Maine sight:

I didn't think to clarify that moment better.  I had transitioned from saying that Justin's sister looked into the girls' bedroom to the sentence "After a rushed trip downstairs..." without inserting two important things.  Now there is all kinds of speculation going on about that- which I can actually understand in this case. Justins sister would have had no reason to "rush" down the stairs to check whether Ayla was there.  And she didn't. I am angry at myself for not catching that it came across that way myself before publishing the site. Justin's girlfriend had gone upstairs when she awoke, his sister and she had noted that Ayla wasn't in her room, and it was Justins girlfriend that went back down to check.  "Rushed" was my own term and I regret using it. It was a descriptive term that wasn't well placed.  
I wanted to send a very long response to two different conversation threads about me/my blog elsewhere on the internet this morning.  Okay, the truth is that I still kind of want to.  I'm going to walk away from the computer and sit on my hands now. ;) 

Love to all of you who are with us in spirit as we try to bring Ayla home.  And love to those others who live in cynicism and negativity as well, because I am sorry for you.

http://www.thislittlelightofmaine.com/1/post/2012/01/you-dont-have-to-attend-every-argument-youre-invited-to.html#comments

I guess I should post what she "clarified" before it disappears, also from the link above:

It was at about 8:30 that Justins sister, whose room is closest to the baby room, awoke and started moving about the house in her Saturday morning routine.  That particular night only Ayla was in her room as her younger cousin had slept in her mom's room.  That wasn't at all unusual for the 18 month old and her mom.  Moments later the aunt walked into the babies shared room only to find Ayla not there. After discovering that Justin did not have Ayla either, there was instant panic.  He bolted up the stairs, knocking over the gate that was placed there every morning for the two little girls, and into her room.  Nothing.  She wasn't

Baby Ayla and the Code of Silence
I had a long phone conversation with Justin DiPietro the other day. He seems like a genuine fellow and readily answered the questions I posed to him regarding the disappearance of his daughter baby Ayla. I am not going to divulge anything that is not already in the public arena as I don’t want to betray his confidence. However, the one thing that I continue to find troubling about this case is the code of silence that Justin adopted early on. Whether it was self-imposed or requested by law enforcement, the collateral damage done to his character and reputation is as large as it is far reaching.

It has been more than four weeks since baby Ayla disappeared from her bedroom in the house that she shared with Justin, and he has only recently made himself available to the press. In the meantime baby Ayla’s mother Trista Reynolds has attacked Justin as relentlessly and effectively as General Sherman scorched the earth on his march against the Confederate states in the Civil War. On December 19, two days after the little girl was reported missing in Waterville, Maine, Trista told Nancy Grace that Justin was “vindictive” and “verbally abusive”. She further claimed that he has refused to let her have Ayla for even one day since he took custody of her in October and that Ayla would return from visits with Justin, “With bruises on her or…with a pulled muscle”.
 ::snipping2::

 ::snipping2::
Justin’s public appearances have been erratic and forced, but ineloquence is not a crime, it is simply an inconvenience. However, one thing does stand out: he has refrained from attacking Trista Reynolds. He has not mentioned her substance abuse issues, her lack of a permanent address, or her failure to travel fifty-miles to the scene of the crime to physically confront him. Instead he kept the focus on his missing daughter. I believe that speaks to his credit.
 ::snipping2::

 ::snipping2::

I have long believed that the parents have a duty to advocate on behalf of their missing children. Even if you are paralyzed by grief and fear it is important to find the strength within to be there for your child. You want to get the public invested and you want to ensure that law enforcement maintains an aggressive and active investigation. As baby Ayla’s case demonstrates, public advocacy also provides you with an opportunity to defend yourself. To fail to do so is to create, as Justin succinctly put it, “A helpless situation”.

Is Justin DiPietro involved in baby Ayla’s disappearance? I have no way of knowing, just as I have no way of knowing if Trista Reynolds has any anything to do with this ongoing mystery. However, I do know a few things. I am absolutely convinced that this is not a stranger abduction. Strangers don’t lurk in sub-zero temperatures any more than they target children with broken arms. I also know that these are troubled young adults who have a toxic relationship. I still believe that the universe of potential suspects is small and that the answer to what happened to baby Ayla exists within the murky waters of dysfunction. We need to stop chasing shadows and leave the investigation to the authorities.  If they dig deep enough they will learn the truth.

IM.....^^^notice the mention that Trista has not traveled the 50 miles to confront him.which says to me what NG previously said on her show that mom has never once gone to the last place that her child disappeared from...which does not speak to me of her guilt, but more of her apathetic feelings towards her little daughter....jmo

Would love to know how Dad's lie detector test turned out. I think that all involved have a problem with the truth...someone lows where this little girl is...she may end up missing for years like so many others who have never been found and who ever is responsible goes unpunished..very sad and disturbing.

Word correction last post..s/b knows, not lows.sorry

You are probably right, the vigil she went to that I thought was in Waterville was actually in Portland. I have more issues with Justin and the others in that home and especially after learning that when Courtney became prggers, she learned her BF had gotten someone else pregnant, she posted how she hated men and much more..I wonder if her son Ayden is his by chance. I think Trista definitely has issues no doubt, but she didn't go poof on her watch and I know many want to blame her for Ayla being in his care, IMO I am happy she was seeking help...BUT, with all that stated ~ Mark K has not had a great level of discernment for a few players lately, Ron Cummings, Billy Dunn come to mind, so I generally listen to what he states but by no means do I think he truly knows what is going on . ..I haven't had to time to look but I thought Ron Reynolds stated they were in WTVL after this happened and told to stay put, not that I would listen to LE because I would have already threatend Justin after not talking to me on the phone about the night until just recently, so hell~they might be smarter than I am ::MonkeyJnBox::

I hit enter too soon, how could she confront him when they were in hiding the first few weeks? Also, she was interviewed by LE and last week poly'd, was that NOT in Waterville?

I had almost no hope from the time I heard about Ayla's disappearance and I pray I am wrong, this child is so precious and her photos I found on her mom's FB and her mom's friends FB she is always smiling so big her eyes light up, but this one is just too cute

No clue how accurate this is, but it is very interesting for a few reasons, 1 being according to Courtney-whomever her baby daddy is, he wanted her to get an abortion and this states Justin wanted Trista to have one too..plus, I have always wondered how he got Ayla in his care to begin with and never returned her as her sister IIRC stated was the agreement:

EVENTS - Prior to Ayla Bell Reynolds disappearance

October 12, 2011 - Trista had become increasing more dependent on alcohol relating to her personal life and the stresses of being a single mom with two babies and on October 12, 2011, Trista became intoxicated and had a altercation with her sister Jessica, resulting in the police being called. No charges were filed and DHS was notified.

October 13, 2011 - DHS gave her two choices: lose the alcohol, or lose the kids. She joined the rehab program in Lewiston on October 13, 201  (and has been sober ever since). Justin was never given sole custody of Ayla - No complaints were filed, Trista never went to court, never saw a judge. DHS had put Ayla in the care of Becca and Jessica (Trista's Mom, and Sister), while she was undergoing treatment in Lewiston.

October 17th, 2011, 3pm - DHS case worker and supervisor for child protection services Karen Small, called Jessica demanding that she turn Ayla over Justin. When Jessica asked why now? she was told that "he's the father and he has the right to take her" and when on to say that: "dad trumps the aunt - any day". Jessica; "refused to give Ayla over to a man who had been a stranger all of her life".

October 17th 2011, 7pm - The Lewiston Police and Justin (who waited downstairs) showed up at Jessica's Apartment and demanded on DHS's behalf that they turn Ayla over to them. After Ayla was turned over to Justin by the police (kicking and screaming), it was revealed to Jessica (via phone) that Karen Small had given the police authorization (and Jessica's address) to retrieve Ayla.

October 20th 2011, 2pm - At Saint Mary Hospital in Lewiston a "family teem meeting" was held. Among those present were; Trista, Jessica , Justin (via phone), an attorney, 2 doctors, 2 case workers, and the CPC, Karen Small. At the end of the meeting, all agreed (including Justin) that Ayla would be returned to Trista after completion of her 7 day evaluation. Justin was also ordered by DHS ("or there would be consequences") to bring Ayla to St. Marys the next day October 21th 2011 for a visit with Trista that never happened. Unfortunately for Ayla, Justin re-canted on returning Ayla to Trista also.

December 15th 2011, 12pm - Due to her growing concerns of infrequent visitation rights, lack of communication, missing doctor visits and Ayla's injuries while under Justin's care (all documented with doctors and DHS) Trista partitioned the courts for parental rights and responsibalities.

FOUL PLAY - Are Karen Small and Phebe (Justin's Mom) friends?

Trista maintains that her rights were violated when DHS removed Ayla from her mother and sisters care and gave her to Justin, as their were no complaints or open cases against her. It seems to me that an aunt and grandmother "trumps" a dad when they are the ones that Ayla had grown up with. Justin wanted nothing to do with Ayla and did not want Trista to have the baby to begin with (he wanted her to have an abortion) - his Mom Phebe, however.. .

Trista and Jessica are very intuitive and when they say that the DHS's CPC Karen Small and Justin's mom Phebe are friends, you can believe them.. I'm sure the e-mail, the texts, and after hour calls can be explained away in the job description, but what about the subtle things like a smile you see on an answered call between them, on any given day... You don't really think Justin was is in hiding (with a typewriter) on his own "not interfering with the case" do you? They don't call it child protection services for nothing...

Update: We have heard from a reliable source the Phebe and Karen Small are related by marriage and good friends.... also heard from the State Police that they have had several tips of that nature and that "they are checking into that".

I should have added this info which I found on the SOR site, but spent the day vetting out....it is Courtney Roberts.

My babys father and I broke up when i was 3 mos preggo because he was cheating on me and told me had feelings for another girl. after we broke up he begged me to get an abortion but I refused because I already had been though that once beofre and swore to myself that I wouldnt do it again. We met in college and after this last semster was over I moved back home so I could be around people that loved and supported me.after we broke up his life wqent down hill and in some weird way that made me happy because I felt like he deserved it for everything he put me through. we kept in contact on and off on the phone, after all I still loved him and he claimed he still loved me despite all the bad things he had done to me. I had always known that he took my love and kindness for granted and munipulated me to think I was the bad guy.

I recently found out that he has another girl pregnant. so now he is about to have 3 kids, 2 on the way. I finallyu cut him off completly and told him not to call unless it was strictly about our baby. its been almost a month and he hasnt called. it makes me sad to think that im child wont have a father around. I feel so decieved and feel like its gonna be so hard for me tyo love and trsut someone again.

Thanks Trimm, that video wouldn't load for me until today.....weird, but not as odd as this stmt from Justin:

Both parents have cooperated with the investigation, say local police. NBC News asked DiPietro if he would be willing to take another lie-detector test. “How I’m dealing with this deserves no explanation,’’ he said before declining further comment.

Hmm~I thought the question was about whether he would take another poly, not how he was dealing with it...

Praying for this little baby to be ok...she deserved much more than she got in her short life..

 ::MonkeyEek:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

I see Angela Harry has not only clarified her version of "Ayla's Story" on the TLLOM blog, but is not on SOR site defending her post and version of what happened, so I wanted to see if anyone else read into the FIRST version what I did, that Elisha was the one that discovered Ayla missing, of if I am just dense....

FIRST VERSION:
Ayla had been living with her Daddy, Grandmother, and Aunt and cousin in Waterville, Maine  for just about 8 weeks before she disappeared in the middle of the night.


Those two months had been the  happiest of her Dad's life.  Justin still can't comprehend how his life went from being full of optimism and promise, to dark and hopeless literally overnight.


Justin had found out that he was a father when Ayla was 7 months old.  He never even knew Ayla was on the way, so he didn't get to meet her when she was born.  When he found out that he had a child, he was happy to be a Dad and  he tried to learn things quickly.  There didn't seem to be room for him in this little baby's life with the family she already knew, but he was determined.  Even though there had never been a committed relationship between he and the mother, he was very willing to learn to co-parent.  There were, however, some dynamics there that made it difficult.  This isn't the appropriate place to discuss it, but it is important to note that Ayla has two parents that love her, who don't happen to have a relationship with each other beyond co-parenting.  It matters because sometimes it sets the stage for people to understand the dynamics better and helps people not to create "if-then" scenarios that don't apply in this particular case. 
Justin does have a long time girlfriend who also has a young child. Things had been going well for them and they truly were very happy.  Justin's girlfriend from Portland, and her son were up for a visit which was normal on the weekends.  They'd met during his 5 years in Portland where he lived with other single friends in an apartment. He'd recently had to leave Portland to have a better home environment  for Ayla since he had just gotten custody of her and was working towards getting on his feet in Waterville- and out of the temporary room he had in the basement of his mom's house.  His girlfriend's family and support network is in Portland where she also has a day job and continues her college education at night.  She is currently working towards her masters degree there but spends as much time as can be spared with her baby boy as well as Justin and Ayla. Justin often feels like she doesn't give herself enough of a break, but also respects her drive.  Things were going well in the big picture and the future was looking brighter.


The night of Friday, December 16th, 2011 was no different than most any other night for the two months he'd been back.   Everyone went to bed, Ayla was checked on at 10 pm, and sometime after 8 am on that Saturday morning, people in the house started waking up and realizing that their entire world had just turned into a nightmare.


It was at about 8:30 that Justins sister, whose room is closest to the baby room, awoke and started moving about the house in her Saturday morning routine.  That particular night only Ayla was in her room as her younger cousin had slept in her mom's room.  That wasn't at all unusual for the 18 month old and her mom.  Moments later the aunt walked into the babies shared room only to find Ayla not there. After a rushed trip down the stairs and the discovery that Justin did not have Ayla either, there was instant panic.  He bolted up the stairs, knocking over the gate that was placed there every morning for the two little girls, and into her room.  Nothing.  She wasn't there.  She wasn't anywhere inside.  Outside- nothing. 


I don't think any of us that are parents have to think too hard to remember a time when we thought- for a handful of seconds or minutes- that one of our little ones had toddled off alone.  While on one hand you are panicking at what "could be" on the other hand you are keeping yourself in check because your logical mind keeps reassuring you that if you breathe, stay calm, and think...you will find that little munchkin- probably in the tupperware cabinet again. 


Only, in Justin's case, he's had to wake up to the same nightmare day after day without end.  In those frantic, surreal moments the possibility that she could be in that house SOMEWHERE kept competing with the thought that someone had taken her.  As the morning unfolded into what felt like an eternity...he just kept thinking that by the days end they would have found Ayla.  The police would have put every officer within a hundred mile radius on the case and they would figure out who could have taken her.  But night arrived, and Ayla did not.


I have to stop here because I simply can't find any more words that will fit on this page.  My understanding of what happened from that day on, through man.  The things that have taken place since then defy reason, to be honest.  I can't believe that we still haven't found this precious little girl.  It is more apparent than ever that if we don't round up the help of everyone we know and all of their friends too, Ayla could be waiting to see her Daddy for a very, very long time.  He wakes up to this again and again, in the face of a foaming at the mouth public that is hell bent on making him the villian in a tabloid event.  I pray for him daily, as I pray for his daughter's safety, well-being, and quick return


Sorry I have no link for this as it is now gone, I had just copied it and sent it to myself in an email.

Second version (aka the clarification):y conversations, have forever changed me

I didn't think to clarify that moment better.  I had transitioned from saying that Justin's sister looked into the girls' bedroom to the sentence "After a rushed trip downstairs..." without inserting two important things.  Now there is all kinds of speculation going on about that- which I can actually understand in this case. Justins sister would have had no reason to "rush" down the stairs to check whether Ayla was there.  And she didn't. I am angry at myself for not catching that it came across that way myself before publishing the site. Justin's girlfriend had gone upstairs when she awoke, his sister and she had noted that Ayla wasn't in her room, and it was Justins girlfriend that went back down to check.  "Rushed" was my own term and I regret using it. It was a descriptive term that wasn't well placed.
I wanted to send a very long response to two different conversation threads about me/my blog elsewhere on the internet this morning.  Okay, the truth is that I still kind of want to.  I'm going to walk away from the computer and sit on my hands now.

Third version (sorta),  more of a defense of why she clarified that she never said Elisha was the one that checked Ayla and discovered she was not in her room:

(hi, it's Angela.) Actually, Peter, you have many things wrong. One: Nowhere did you find any information saying that Justin and I have been friends since we were both 8. Here, I would like to draw the point that even someone as high on a pedestal as you can COMPLETELY misread something and/or make a mistake in your typing. So that brings me to my point. I did NOT change my story, I NEVER said that Elisha rushed down the stairs. I left out the fact that she and Courtney had noted Ayla wasn't in her room upon Courtney waking up and walking up the stairs to the restroom. And then SHE went down the stairs. I do admit I shouldn't have added in "rushed" of my own accord, which I deeply regret as it has set off a firestorm, regardless of the FACT that I indicated the panic didn't begin until after it was discovered that she *also* was not downstairs. YOU are the ones that have twisted and changed absolutely everything with no regard for checking your facts and then you accuse me of doing that, or of being wrong about my facts, or-wildly- of needing to be polygraphed myself. I'll make this clear for anyone who is actually rational. I am nothing more than a family friend in the sense that I knew Justin through his childhood friend, one of my young family members. I care about people in general, and I am torn up about where Ayla could be, who might have her, whether she is okay, and how the family is emotionally handling those same devastating fears. That you wrecklessly twist my words as well as my intentions blows my mind. Yes, I described the dynamics of everyone's relationships on that page- with an explanation of why I'd done so. Many people were wondering who was who, who lived where, how everyone was connected or not. So you people get all up in arms about why I would explain it? I don't know, I guess I should have read your manuals first. I just explained it because I saw that people were confused. And I removed that content because whether you are capable of understanding this or not, my only intent of putting up the website was to bring awareness of Ayla to a broader public and to offer some support to the family. I felt like clearing up some confusion might have been helpful. I obviously regretted not actually stating WHO it was that went downstairs to check that morning. You all are arguing about something that has no substance. There is nothing valid in what you're up in arms about. It's no bigger a mistake than that Peter claims that Justin and I were friends since we were both 8. I was an adult when he was 8. Peter is capable of error, and YOU will ignore that and continue to try to skewer me and anyone that isn't attacking Justin and his family. Of course I wouldn't attack someone I don't believe to have done anything wrong. Get over it.

So, is it just me or is my cold playing tricks on my ability to read and comprehend, because it sure looks to me that she did indeed state Elisha the aunt discovered Ayla was not in her room and rushed downstairs???


Another point, why would Courtney have to go back downstairs to make sure Ayla wasn't there since she just came up from the basement since she and her son spent the night down there with Justin?

Ayla Reynolds website generates controversy
Critics complain Angela Harry, site’s author, sides with girl’s father
WATERVILLE -- The author of a website dedicated to missing toddler Ayla Reynolds said she anticipated controversy when she launched the site last week
"I expected there would be a firestorm. I just didn't expect that I would give them so much material to work with," Angela Harry said Monday during a phone interview.

Harry, 36, is a longtime friend of Justin DiPietro, the father of 21-month-old Ayla, who was seen last more than a month ago. Last week, Harry's newly launched website provided details of the morning Ayla was reported missing.

Now, however, the story is gone.

On Saturday, an article about Harry's website appeared in the Morning Sentinel. Over the weekend, Harry revised the website, www.thislittlelightofmaine.com, several times. First, Harry added a new detail to clarify the series of events of Dec. 17, she said. Later, Harry removed the story altogether.

Those changes have elicited strong reactions from readers of the Morning Sentinel website, OnlineSentinel.com, and other websites. Readers also have been critical of the focus of the original story, saying it gave disproportionate weight to DiPietro and his girlfriend, Courtney Roberts, rather than focus on the missing girl. Some readers have speculated that DiPietro and Roberts helped Harry write the story as a means to improve public relations.

Harry dismissed those accusations Monday. DiPietro could not be reached for comment.
 ::snipping2::

No clue how anyone would know but on NG they are stating he failed the poly, had a poly examiner on and they stated "he smoked something, just not the poly"......now, waiting to here about mom's.

Does that mean he was under the influence?  WOW.  Don;t most poly's happen in a police station?  WOW.

 one of the guests on NG's show said that he smoked something...assuming that he was under the influence of something when he took the poly....at least that is how I took it when I was listening to the show...

I said the same thing when he was quoted as saying "I smoked it" (regarding the poly)
Of course he smoked something......he smoked something yesterday, the day before and probably is smoking something now..... ::MonkeyNoNo::

Does this dude even have a job? Bets are he is a dealer. Courtney's own sister (article is upstream) was busted recently in a major drug bust. Birds of a feather flock together.... ::MonkeyCool::

Mark my words, this whole thing will center around drugs and JD! (JMHO)

JVM discussing this case.They were showing a video of Ayla in little monkey jammies.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I found the video from NG.  ::HelloKitty::

Ayla Reynolds: Issues 1/25/12
http://www.youtube.com/user/Sierra1947#p/u/0/TS3dDVC7pcM

I remember reading your post stating that. I was thinking the same thing. He looks like a dope head. I know that probably sounds cynical of me but there are quite a few in the family tree and he just has that look. I bet he thought it would help him relax and lie.

I agree with you. This has something to do with drugs.

Police deny request for Ayla 911 transcipt
BY BEN MCCANNA Staff Writer[/b]
WATERVILLE -- Police have denied a request by the Morning Sentinel for an audio recording and written transcript of the 911 call that reported 21-month-old Ayla Reynolds missing, saying it could get in the way of the investigation.

Last week, a Morning Sentinel reporter submitted a written request at the police station. On Wednesday, Deputy Chief Charles Rumsey responded to the request by letter, saying the police denied it "after consultation with City Solicitor William Lee and careful consideration."

Ayla Reynolds was reported missing at 8:51 a.m., Dec. 17, via a call through the 911 system, according to police records. During a press conference on Dec. 18, Chief Joseph Massey said Ayla's father, Justin DiPietro, placed the call.

Rumsey said that audio recordings are confidential under law and releasing the transcripts would interfere with "law enforcement proceedings."

WATERVILLE, Maine -- Blood has been found inside the home where a missing 20-month-old toddler from Maine was last seen, NewsCenter 5’s Michele McPhee reported Saturday.

Ayla Reynolds vanished Dec. 17. She was reported missing by her father, Justin DiPietro, who told police he believed his daughter was snatched from her bedroom in his Waterville, Maine home.

Days later, law enforcement authorities said in a news release that the case had evolved from the search for a missing child to a "criminal investigation."

Now, Team 5 Investigates has learned why.

Multiple law enforcement sources have told McPhee that blood was found inside the home.

Authorities said the crime lab is still working to determine whose blood it is, and how long it had been in the basement.

Multiple law enforcement sources also told Team 5 Investigates that Reynolds’ father left the police station when he was shown crime scene photos of luminol-enhanced blood stains taken at the home.

DiPietro did not return several phone calls from WCVB-TV. In previous weeks he has said publicly, “I would never do anything to hurt my child.”

DiPietro has also said publicly he took and passed a lie detector test.

Maine State Police would not confirm nor deny that assertion. They would only confirm DiPietro did take a polygraph and that he, as well as police, knew the results.

1:14 PM, Jan 28, 2012 
Waterville, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - State police are confirming to NEWS CENTER that blood has been found in the home where Ayla Reynolds was last seen.

Public safety spokesperson Steve McCausland tells NEWS CENTER that blood particles not seen by the naked eye have been found and taken to the state crime lab to be analyzed.  He says it's still not clear whose blood was found.  McCausland says determining whose blood was found has become the top priority of investigators at the State Crime Lab in Augusta.

Blood found where missing Maine girl last seen
Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:01pm EST

(Reuters) - Authorities have found blood at the Waterville, Maine, home where a missing 20-month-old girl vanished six weeks ago and have serious doubts she was abducted, police said on Saturday.
 ::snipping2::

 McCausland now says those three people know more than they have told investigators in the case.  He also says the story they told police that somebody broke in through a window and kidnapped Ayla was "highly unlikely" based on the hundreds of pieces of evidence collected in the case.  When asked if the family members were suspects in Ayla's disappearance, McCausland says, "No one has been ruled in, and no one has been ruled out".

Blood found, suspicion cast in missing Maine toddler case
From Susan Candiotti, CNN
updated 6:40 PM EST, Sat January 28, 2012

 ::snipping2::
Police say that Ayla was thought to be alone the night before she was reported missing, even though relatives have told CNN her younger cousin normally slept in the same room.

In addition to Ayla and her father, two other adults and two other children were in the house on the night of December 16, according to authorities. They were Justin DiPietro's girlfriend and her young son, plus Ayla's aunt and her toddler. The latter two also live in the house.

The two other children are thought to have slept in a different bedroom than Ayla, and police believe Ayla's aunt was with them, according to McCausland.

The adults who were purportedly there have said "someone snuck into the house, went into the bedroom where Ayla was sleeping, and no one heard or saw anything," the state spokesman said. Yet "there is no evidence that we have found that would point to an abduction."

"Their story ... doesn't pass the 'straight-face' test in Maine," McCausland said.

"We don't know what happened other than we know Ayla didn't walk out on her own, and we have grave doubts she was abducted because there were three adults in the home that night (and) it's a very small house."
 ::snipping2::

Another ninja kidnapper , wonder if it's the same one that took Lisa Irwin (sarcasm intentional).  I wonder is it just me or are "parents" using the same methods they see other families using to stall investigations? The not speaking to media in and of itself speaks volumes, how many live interviews has sperm donor given- 2? The others were extremely controlled statements, but who helped draft them ...  Not a snowballs chance in he77 those were sperm donors words.

 ::snipping2::
Reynolds knew about the latest information released in the case, but said that DiPietro was the only one who would have the answers to those questions about the investigation.  Both Reynolds and DiPietro said they were at the vigil to support and thank the people who have been looking for Ayla.

But when asked about the blood that was found in DiPietro's basement, Reynolds couldn't hold back her frustrations.

"Do you really want to know what my reaction is? Really? You really want to know?" Reynolds said. "I'm ready to go knocking on these people's doors myself because I want to know what happened to my daughter and I want to know where she is and who took her, or just whatever, like everybody else does.  My reaction is that I'm still trying to concept the fact that blood was found of my daughter's.  That's my reaction, ok?"

Police have not confirmed that the blood found belongs to Ayla.  If you have any information regarding this case, you're asked to call State Police.

'bout time they figured that out  :2doh: :scratch: :smt021 :roll:

Great video with McCausland, he's stating the obvious which I think they knew all along but choose now to put some pressure on them, he even stated "it's time for them to come clean"......sadly, I don't expect that to happen unless someone get's to Courtney and Elisha and if they had nothing to do with the crime and only the cover up, explain how they might be out in time to watch their child grow up instead of sitting in prison over this crime/coverup, so let's see where their priorities lie.

http://www.pressherald.com/news/

 ::snipping2::

Steve McCausland, spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety, said police believe the three adults – Ayla’s father, Justin DiPietro, his sister, Elisha DiPietro, and his girlfriend, Courtney Roberts – have information they have not given police that may lead to Ayla’s whereabouts.

“There were three adults in the home, and their version of events is not backed up by any forensic evidence that we have located,” McCausland said Saturday afternoon. “That someone slipped into the home in the middle of the night, while three adults are there ... that someone went into the bedroom where Ayla was sleeping alone, removed her and vanished into the night – and that the three adults did not see or hear anything – doesn’t pass the straight-face test.”

 ::snipping2::



This is my prayer – that she’s found alive,” said Selena Johnson of Augusta, sister of Justin DiPietro’s mother, Phoebe DiPietro.

Johnson learned about the blood in the basement at the vigil.

“I don’t know how to feel, other than that I really want to talk to my family,” she said tearfully. She and her sister were later seen hugging.

She added that her sister’s advice to her was not to read the news reports about Ayla’s disappearance
 ::snipping2::

Soooo, why would she tell her not to read news reports, does she know that maybe her sis could see glaring lies? ::MonkeyMad::

 ::snipping2::


At a vigil for his daughter Saturday afternoon, Justin DiPietro wouldn’t comment on the discovery.

“I’m not going to answer any questions about it, but I will say this: If there was something there, I don’t think I’d be standing here with you right now,” he said.

Ayla’s grandmother, Phoebe DiPietro, also wouldn’t discuss the discovery.

“Personally, I do not believe anything happened to Ayla other than she was taken,” she said. She owns the Violette Avenue house, but was not there the night Ayla disappeared.

Ayla’s mother, Trista Reynolds, said at a vigil Saturday afternoon that she was trying to process the information about the blood.

In an interview earlier in the day with the Morning Sentinel, she said she was preparing herself for any outcome.

“As a mother, as a parent, you need to mentally prepare yourself for the good, the bad, the worst,” she said. “I have been preparing myself for all of it during the last 40 days. I have told myself anything can happen. I could get the greatest news or I could get the worst news ever.”

 ::snipping2::

Interesting that yet again the dips refuse to answer questions......wonder how soon a indictment could come down, I think if the blood is Ayla's and enough to show she couldn't have survived, I woud arrest them all, considering two of those not giving LE the info they need aka lying, have toddlers themselves, I wonder if they are weighing coming forward vs having their child raised by foster parents and learning about the lives of their kids via letters, or phone calls to prison. If not they are far more naive than I thought and more sadistic. Where in the he77 are their priorities?

LE keeps the pressure up big time :

"We don't know what happened other than we know Ayla didn't walk out on her own, and we have grave doubts she was abducted because there were three adults in the home that night (and) it's a very small house."

So, she didn't walk out on her own and grave doubts that she was abducted, well that pretty much says it all......now, I pray for some resolution and succesfull prosecutions for once:(

As Ayla Reynolds' parents meet at vigil, police say information is being withheld

 ::snipping2::
There were six people in the 29 Violette Ave. house on Dec. 16 -- DiPietro and Ayla, his sister Elisha DiPietro and her young daughter, and DiPietro's girlfriend, Courtney Roberts, and her young son, according to Justin DiPietro.

McCausland said state police have taken several hundred pieces of potential evidence from the DiPietro home, including the blood, which was discovered during a full-scale investigation in late December.

"We find the discovery of the blood troubling, and it's also frustrating that we think the three adults in the home that night haven't told us everything they know," he said.

McCausland added that police don't yet know whose blood it is, but it is being analyzed in the state police crime laboratory in Augusta. He said he wouldn't discuss how much blood had been found or how it was discovered.

Blood found at site where Maine girl vanished
By Brian MacQuarrie
 |  Globe Staff   January 29, 2012

 ::snipping2::
Wearing green pajamas that bore the words “Daddy’s Princess,’’ Ayla had been alone in a room on the night she disappeared. DiPietro had been sleeping in the basement with his girlfriend and her young son, according to a timetable posted online by a friend of DiPietro’s and reported by the Morning Sentinel newspaper.

As the massive search for Ayla drags on, McCausland said, “we are growing more concerned.’’

Bob Vear, who helped organize yesterday’s vigil and is a friend of DiPietro’s brother, downplayed the discovery of the blood, which he said the family had brought to his attention three weeks ago.

“It is possibly nothing more than somebody cut themselves shaving in the house,’’ Vear said.
 ::snipping2::

 ::MonkeyEek::  I can't link it because I'm on my phone , but Bob Vear posted a long post on ayla's community fb page and a few others for a "friend" that the gig is up and it's time to man up and do the right thing- he also states he's called the Maine state police and expects to be questioned about what he's been told ... Sounds like a message to Justin, but I'd appreciate someone else opinion. I posted yesterday every fb page I could find to Courtney and Elisha , tried to appeal to them as mothers, and posted LE is obviously calling every adult out as a liar in that home, and that if they want to see their own child grow up without a prison guard , they need to come clean with LE.... Now Bob's stmt is very telling.  If someone could bring it over for others to read I'd be interested in others opinions.

IM - I have no idea which facebook you are referring to.  You can always type out the URL.  You can also copy and past from phone or iPad.  We really need links.

From the facebook link above:

"Ayla's Community"
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST VERY, VERY IMPORTANT !!

It is not about me here, but what I talked about to those gathered yesterday, a few souls that cared. I spoke about 4 different values called ... Community, Hope, Faith, and Family. I had the ear of those gathered. They received the message. I had the ear of the media. They did not. I, personally, am involved deeper than you may, or even I realize, or in my personal case, realized . I have contacted Maine State Police and I have been called back. I strongly believe that moving forward, will probably be called upon by LE, to give a statement of various conversations to what has transpired since December 24th. I kindly ask that you do not approach myself, my wife Darus, and Nikkia and ask about conversations with someone in particular that we have as a friend. I, no matter what happens, will remain with this friend through the trenches, for I never, nor will, call him any other, than Friend.

I still have a Friend, who unfortunately, killed his wife in front of his children. He is currently serving time at the Maine State Prison. I, despite his actions, still write to him, and refer to him, as a friend in conversations. I never waver, nor give up. That is just me.

I do ask, since I know that this friend, along with others, watch what I write on here.

Personal Message to this Friend: I know what you know. I am here for you, and always will be. If you need a hand, I ask you to grab mine. Together, arm in arm, as brother to brother, let us bring an resolution to this. Take my personal advice here. The "Gig" is over. It is time to "Fess Up". To be a Man, and do the right thing. You know where my heart is, and it will never waver. I told you from the beginning, that I will always be there for you. No matter what. You know where my heart is, and that has always been, to get someone you love, home. No matter where that may be.

AFA
Bob

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- One day after police revealed new information about the Ayla Reynolds investigation, more of her family is speaking out.

Police confirmed Saturday that they found traces of blood in the basement of the Waterville home where the missing toddler was last seen. Police also say that Ayla's father, Justin Dipietro, is no longer cooperating with the investigation. Now, Ayla's maternal grandfather is asking Dipietro and his family to come forward with whatever information they have about what happened to Ayla.

"This family again has gone through hell and i'm tired of it," Reynolds told NEWS CENTER. "I want Ayla home. I want somebody in that family to have the guts to come up and tell the state police who has her, or where she is, so we can bring her home once and for all."

Good evening monkeys!

I don't visit very often and can't even remember the last time I posted, don't think I'll ever get over the slore getting away with murdering Caylee, but here I am....
 
According to IM's post, there was a substantial amount of Ayla's blood found in the basement of her grandmother's home. My thoughts are that the adults in the home the night Ayla "disppeared" and no, I'm not buying that story, were probably "smoking something" in the basement, left the door open and the toddlers alone on the first floor unsupervised. Toddlers rough housing, or simply trying to climb down the stairs and taking a fall to a cement floor could easily be fatal. Doped up adults would likely panic, come up with a story and dispose of a child's body to protect themselves. At the very least this is a case of neglect resulting in manslaughter....I don't think this baby is coming home alive. I only hope someone tells the truth, so her Mom can bury her with dignity....JMO

P.S. For years I lived about 20 miles from Waterville maine and know the area all too well. I

Yep, Ninja kidnappers.....they are everywhere! JI is not intelligent enough (imo) to come up with an original story that he hasn't heard about already in the news.....The drugs were more precious to him than his own beautiful baby girl. ::MonkeyMad::
I can't wait to hear him try to explain why her blood was in the basement.  go ahead Justin, smoke another one and it may become clearer....

Blood of missing Maine toddler found at father's home, police confirm

Published January 29, 2012



WATERVILLE, Maine –  Some of the blood found in a Maine home where a missing toddler was last seen six weeks ago belonged to the little girl, an official said Sunday.

State Police spokesman Steve McCausland would not say how much of Ayla Reynolds' blood was found in her father's home in Waterville, where exactly it was found or how long it might have been there.

But investigators told Ayla's mother's family that the amount of blood was "more blood than a small cut would produce," according to family-run website.

"Even in light of this evidence we are more determined than ever to find out what has happened to Ayla and we still cling to the hope that she is alive and will be returned to us," the website said. "We urge anyone that has information about Ayla to come forward now and unburden yourself of the truth."

 ::snipping2::

DiPietro could not be immediately be reached for comment Sunday; his cellphone voicemail was full and unable to accept messages.

 ::snipping2::

The blood was among hundreds of pieces of potential evidence that were removed from the Waterville home as part of a criminal investigation into the girl's disappearance. The discovery of the blood and the confirmation that some of it belonged to Ayla was first reported by WCVB-TV in Boston.

DiPietro, his mother and a third adult were home the night of Dec. 16, and police have questioned all three, McCausland said Saturday.

"We believe they have not given us the full story," he said.

Both of Ayla's parents participated in a vigil Saturday on the City Hall steps in downtown Waterville.

At the vigil, DiPietro declined to discuss the discovery of the blood.

"I'm not going to answer any questions about it, but I will say this: If there was something there, I don't think I'd be standing here with you right now," he told the Morning Sentinel newspaper in Waterville.

Yep, ninja kidnappers gone wild I tell you....I never thought about the JD not being smart enough to come up with this, I think the two women in the home helped and word is Courtney refuses a poly...so, remember how bad his face looked after he came out of hiding, looked like someone popped him in the nose, I am wonderng if there was a party there that night and some of Courntey's sister drugs were involved, a fight, Ayla was collateral damage.......sound familiar? Also, on all the FB pages the die hard Justin supporters are now saying that it was probably Courtney and hopefully he is NOW telling LE the full truth, vs the nonstop denials and delusions we had been seeing, well except for Angela Harry the nutjob of course.

Missing toddler’s grandfather pleads for new information
Posted: Jan 30, 2012 2:20 AM CST Updated: Jan 30, 2012 2:35 AM CST
PORTLAND, ME (CNN/WCSH) – The maternal grandfather of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds is pleading for information about what happened to her after police confirmed traces of her blood were found in the Waterville home where she was last seen.

"Every day it's hard. Every day it's hard not knowing where she is," said Reynolds

Police also said Ayla's father, Justin DiPietro, is no longer cooperating with the investigation.

Ron Reynolds is sick of waiting for the truth about what happened to his granddaughter. He said he has always believed that DiPietro and his family knew more about Ayla's disappearance than they were letting on.

"That someone came in that back door, snuck in her bedroom, took her, vanished in the middle of the night and none of those three adults heard of saw anything. That's very frustrating. We think they know more than they're telling us," said Maine State Police Spokesman Steve McCausland.

Police: Some blood found in missing toddler's home was Ayla's
From Susan Candiotti, CNN National Correspondent

(411 comments at the time of this post-MB)

More from this article: 

::rhino::

This baby was sent to live with a person she barely knew and had never bonded with and folks known to party and use drugs, plus the added stress of two other babies in the home.

Who is responsible for this decision?  Do we know for a fact whether grandma was home that night or not?  There seems to be conflicting stories.

Blood being found is bad news, especially if it was cleaned up and covered up.  Coupled with a broken arm... someone was seriously frustrated with having this baby around and willing to act out because of it.

Why do adults cover for eachother when there has been injury or death of a child?  I just do not get it.

Police Believe Missing Maine Toddler Dead

The toddler’s blood was found splattered in the basement of 29 Violette Ave. in the Waterville home where Ayla was staying with her father, Justin DiPietro, Maine State Police said.
Several law enforcement sources said the blood appeared to have been "cleaned up" and that DiPietro left a police station when confronted with luminol-enhanced photos of his daughter’s blood splatters taken by crime scene investigators a week after he reported her missing.

Missing Ayla: father's account fails 'straight-face test' as blood found in basement

i just heard about the blood found in the basement,from one of the news
stations, i thought that i read somewhere that,dad slept in the basement
and im guessing Ayla did too,since it is such a small house,am i remembering
this correctly

Heartbreaking but sadly not unexpected is it, nor it this:

A window taken from the Violette Avenue bedroom where DiPietro claimed his daughter was sleeping did not appear to be tampered with and could not be opened from the outside, law enforcement sources said.

NOR THIS:

Justin DiPietro's mother contacted News 13 Monday morning, referring all questions to the family's attorney. Our calls to the attorney went unreturned.

Just once, pls I pray - we need to see justice served.....these cases are happening far to often, don't speak, obstruct and blame it on the ninja kidnapper. I know Trista wasn't the best mom, but she sought help and you can tell by the photos of Ayla when she was in her care that she was loved, the photos of her in Justin's care, not so much:(

http://lostnmissing.posterous.com/message-to-whomever-has-information-regarding

Ayla Reynolds, your mommy loves you tremendously. Her heart is breaking. All she wants is to hug you and bring you home.


There are people standing in the way from telling the truth. Our prayers that if something happened to you, and you are in heaven's care, that SOMEONE will come forward and tell the truth. Your mom deserves to know. Your baby brother deserves to know along with the rest of your maternal family.


I'm sorry I cannot, at this time, write that your paternal family needs to know because the odds are they already do. Will they come forward with the needed information?


How can 3 adults, all who have children of their own, not be able to tell the truth?


Do they know that the Maine State Police may grant immunity to the FIRST who steps up and tells what happened? Do they know if none of them do....they ALL will more than probably be charged? Do they know that a higher power exists that they have to answer to? If this was an accident, why haven't they come forward by now? This leads all to the unimaginable horror that it was not an accident.


Is THAT what the DiPietro family wants the public to think? That this beautiful child's life was purposely taken? WHO IS GOING TO STEP UP AND TALK? Who?

We are TOLD, Dad and girlfriend and girlfriends child were sleeping in the basement.  Friend (maybe a relative, I forget) and friends child sleeping upstairs in one room.  Ayla sleeping ALL BY HERSELF (this is where I call BS) in her own room upstairs.  So EVERYONE was sleeping with small children but they decided to leave Ayla by herself.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Police strongly deny report that Ayla Reynolds is dead
8:32 PM, Jan 30, 2012
 ::snipping2::
Maine Public Safety spokesperson Steve McCausland says that report is completely untrue.  When asked about the story by NEWS CENTER, McCausland said, "it is unattributed, irresponsible, and inaccurate."  We also spoke with Trista Reynolds's stepfather Jeff Hanson who said police had not notified him or Trista that there was any change in the status of the investigation.  We'll have more tonight at 11.

 ::MonkeyNoNo::

Interesting to see Mark Klaas.....who came out with a random blog post about Justin and how ppl need to back off, so let's see...Ron Cummings, Billie Dunn and not Justin Dipchitrio, not the best judge of character. I know he does alot of great things, but there are times he needs to sit back and let things progress, I think the vast majority of us knew all of those were involved in their own child's disappearnce.

I agree, not to mention she was the one with a broken arm...

Sometimes I think Marc Klaas jumps in before knowing all the information.  I wish he'd just keep quiet until he can take it all in.

ITA~but we have gut instincts that are generally spot on, sometimes I think he takes the father with custody's side for some bizarre reason, surely he has gut instincts that would kick in, even more so since he is a victim......

BBM
Amen to that! I am sick of parent (s) getting away with murder ::MonkeyMad::

I don't know, klass.  It probably did happen that way.  Only daddy left out the part where Ayla was dead.   ::MonkeyMad::

I'm getting so sick of these cases.  Babies aren't shoes that you can just toss when you want something different.

Ayla Reynolds’ mom defends going public with evidence
By Laurel Sweet and Christine McConville
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - Updated 2 minutes ago

 ::snipping2::
It’s the truth, and why would we hold back the truth?” Reynolds told the Herald about weekend reports that investigators found her blue-eyed toddler Ayla’s blood in the little girl’s father’s basement. Police confirmed it to reporters only after Reynolds revealed it on a website dedicated to finding her daughter.

Someone needs to start telling the truth,” an agitated Reynolds continued.
 ::snipping2::

I agree with mom's decision, but I couldn't believe the way she was all over JD at the vigil.  Was that before or after she found out about the blood.   ::MonkeyMad::

TY klaas and monkeys for the updates
sorry to say we know how this is going to end,i too,am so sick
of murdering parents and RSO,SO,what was that op they use to
do back in the 30s,lobotimizing maybe we should go back to that
for the child murders,seems the lob op,was done by punching
something through the eye into the front lobe of brain
seems ok to me

it was after. I wouldve been clawing his eyes out &beating the truth out of him!

Police Want Answers From Father Of Ayla Reynolds
Ayla Reynolds Reported Missing Dec. 17

 ::snipping2::
State police confirm there will be more searches and more dive operations, but none are scheduled as of Tuesday afternoon.

"We have pounded on doors. We've interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people," said Maine State Police Spokesman Steve McCausland.

Among the doors they pounded were those belonging to registered sex offenders.

"That was one thing that was looked at very early on," McCausland said.

According to the state's sex offender registry, there are 64 sex offenders living in Waterville.

News 8 also learned Tuesday that a home across the street from DiPietro's Violette Avenue home was searched in the early stages of the investigation. Other vacant homes and buildings were also searched.

Police are putting pressure on the last people to see Ayla: her father, his girlfriend, Courtney Roberts, and DiPietro's sister, Elisha DiPietro.

"We think there are still people out there that have specific information that they haven't told us. Not only the three individuals in the home, but there may be others. One call can crack this case wide-open and we're waiting for that call," McCausland said.

I thought so originally, but when you watch the video she clearly hugs him and then whispers to him confronting him (although loud enough for the camera;s to pick it up) about the blood.....I think she did it to gauge his reaction if you watch it, then he says something like "don't worry about it".....but then again, I'd have done more than clawed his eyes out long ago, but I think she is begging for answers and putting him on the spot in front of all the cameras.

That crazy nut Scary <Angela> Harry, someone snagged this a long time ago:


Angela Harry Justin,
I don't know you personally but it is apparent from many who do that
you are a pretty terrific Dad. Children don't go missing because their
parents are flawed or imperfect, for if that were the case I wouldn't
have my children (ages 15, 13, and 5).
My husband and I have had friends over many times in 15 years, and no,
we do not ALWAYS check that they are still in their beds when we go to
sleep. Yes, I assume they are still there on occassion. No, I do NOT
check on them every 30 minutes while they sleep. How *silly* was THAT
comment?! My 15 year old daughter was in- not a toddler bed- hold on to
your hats...but in a twin size bed when she was just 22 months old!
Whoa! Yep, you read that right. I had another child on the way and we
needed the crib so she went to a big girl bed. With a little mesh
flip-up thing that slid between the mattress and boxspring so she
wouldn't roll out of the bed at night. Miraculously she never
disappeared in the middle of the night. *EVERY* good parent worries
that their kids will get hurt, break their arms, become terminally ill,
or disappear. An *NO* parent can prevent every harm that comes their
childs way. If it hasnt' happened to you it is not because you are
perfect, so shut your trap and get off this page because you aren't
helping anyone.

Nice Little Porn in the morning is always a good thing Bro. I know that when I need my spirits uplifted, I just meander into my InDaGardenOfEden and I get all bubbly. It is an amazing plant to say the least, and one that produces some great meds for me.

Older Picture of Ayla.jpgAyla Ribbon.pngShell Poster.jpgth_winnie-27.gifHey Buddies.... I just want to say thanks. I guess everything is slowly coming out, as with something that I am ashamed of that happened 30 plus years ago with me. I guess for me, the past 30 years have been a way of me seeking repent for a bad month that I had, while I was heavily influenced by drugs back then, in the day. I have scarred someone for the rest of her life, and ask for forgiveness from her. ( I sent her a PM on FaceBook this morning, after she referenced in bold type Pedophile.) She has that right. But, I , like the Jane Fonda's and the Joe Paterno's, despite what they did throughout their life, will always have that one blip, in life, hanging over their heads. I think it takes a man to state what I just stated, and I am a man.

Moving forward, this case now has taken a turn to the dark side. The pieces, like a jigsaw puzzle, are coming together, and the puzzle is almost complete. I have been, and will continue to work with the Maine State Police and the FBI to bring this to an end. I will, as always, continue to work for Justice. Whether it be for a child, woman, or man, marijuana etc. I call everyone that cross my path on what I refer to as a "Journey", my friend. That is who I am, have been, for 53 years. I did not hesitate, nor will I, stop my efforts, because of my past. We, some more than others, always have that "skeleton" in a closet. Mine has just reemerged.

Yesterday, I spent, along with my family, 5 long hours, "held under suicide watch." This has taken a toll on me, my wife (due to my many sleepless night, and everything else), my daughter, and my friends. It has taken away from my "Hobby", but they are doing good for God is making sure that I get my medicine of choice, on board in the next several months. I do believe in God. I hope, no matter who, what, or nothing at all, that you too ask for guidance when needed by oneself. It does work.

islandmonkey,
Sounds to me like he's admitting to an act against a young woman when she was a child and to smoking/growing weed.

I hope LE is monitoring the site that you found that on.

I am sure it was sent to LE, and there are random FB names in there accidentally, but he's working with LostN Missing group, or he stated he was...........I am about to vomit at this point.

I should also say, he has freaked me out a bit from the start or I should say after I read this:

Bob Vear, a grandfather of a small child, said Ayla's disappearance should remind people of what they have.

"If you have a small child, hold, hug and caress him, because one never knows. One never knows," he said.

Vear, a friend of the DiPietros, organized the vigil with the help of the church and its members. He said Ayla's entire family is struggling with the disappearance.



The word caress just seemed a bit off to me, snuggle sure......but maybe it's just me.

http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/community-leaves-light-on-for-ayla_2012-01-17.html

Definitely cultivating pot, not sure about the rest.

http://www.rollitup.org/members/maineyankee-374290.html

Pot is the least of my worries from what I read.....delete what you feel you need to, he strikes me as a HUGE RED FLAG waving and responding to the poster who marked the post PEDOFILE freaked me out..now, these ppl are nutz!

Ayla Reynolds: Issues 1/31/12
http://www.youtube.com/user/Sierra1947#p/u/0/zqsMkXz9Yns

No need to delete and you could be 100% correct.  I just can't say for certain one way or the other.  I can say he appears to be breaking the law in any case.

Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and that only happens when I sense a pedo close to me.  Save an airsickness bag for me.   :smt078

First mark k is yet again trashing mom for talking, and I don't blame her one bit after being stonewalled from 12/8 - he never would put Ayla on the phone from that date on, so I'd be screaming to anyone who would listen... Sorry no link, that was on NG.  Second, interesting post from Bob, this time I can see the link but can't post the content from phone, grrrr.  http://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/504851-aylas-plight-lets-help-if-15.html#post7038459.   Basically it sound like he's admitting lance lied to him to cover for Justin.  No chit - ya think ??

I don't know why this case is grabbing at me.
The baby was " kidnapped ".
The Dipietro family and girlfriend were the ones in the house.
Phoebe DiP says there was no party and she didn't hear anything. Then she tells them, ooops, I wasn't home.
Justin's gf Courtney, have we even seen her face on tv, she is absent.
Justin's sister seems to be laying low.
Justin was laying low.
Are they afraid that people might recognise them ? And connect some lying dots ?
They are not cooperating with the police.
...............
The above is how not to act if you want the baby found.
...............
They have held out this long, the police are going to have to convene a GJ and start laying charges, even if minor ones, get DHS involved and threaten to take the other two kids away or do something to make them feel the fire. 

IM, I have the content. http://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/504851-aylas-plight-lets-help-if-15.html#post7038459

"I can only say this ... Yes. I feel that I should have taken something that was stated between me and a "Friend" on December 24th. I took his statement at "Face Value." Nothing more, nothing less. On Saturday, January 28th, I hosted a 2 hour Balloon and Bubble Vigil for Ayla. Someone in the media, after the vigil was over, told me that Maine State Police, had just released to "The Public" about blood being found at the residence. Period. It was then, and only then, that I got "Hit side of the head". I IMMEDIATELY contacted MSP Tip Line, and then gave my knowledge to the fact. THE FOLLOWING DAY, MSP and Spokesperson, called out to the media, that the Blood found, was that of Ayla. This is not what was told to me by my "FRIEND" on the 24th. "Cover-up" for his brother (IMO)
"
So yes, I have a "Guilty" rambling. I should have called sooner. Thanks Cowboy. You are just like some, but not all, think that I had something to do with the case in a bad way. But I did not.

Bob ~ The MaineYankee
....................
Wish he would be clearer.

BTW  Island Monkey, thank you very much for your posts and your links, links that I would have never found on my own.

Well, we know his friend IS Lance, he's stated that over and over, so that pretty much says it all :( Poor baby, I've been yelling pressure the other mom's of toddlers, I am so sick of these lying scumbags getting away with murder and I want ONE case to end in a successful prosecution where they are behind bars and tormented (sorry but that is how I feel right now).......


You are so welcome KatGram! I snag them all over the place, but last night when I read the sick post - my blood pressure went balistic.....

 ::snipping2::
Maine state police admitted they've never had a case like this before and are adapting their tactics to be more upfront with the media.

Ayla's mother is hoping the constant public attention will lead to a break in the case.

Police are turning their attention back to the three people who were in the home at the time of Ayla's disappearance, saying someone knows more than they are letting on.

Police no longer believe she was kidnapped.

A $30,000 reward is still being offered for information that breaks the case.

The latest from Trista Reynolds...she may not be perfect, but i believe this young woman truly loves her children, is focused on finding Ayla and is acting appropriately, as a mother of a missing child. I pray Ayla is found soon...poor baby.

I hope NG saves herself the frustration and doesn't invite Steve McCausland, Maine's State Police spokesman.  She has asked  every question in every way and he has answered them all with a none answer.  Very frustrating.  If you can't talk about it, don't waste our time.   ::CowboySmiley::

Hi Monkey's,

Flutter he did say a hundred of items, were taken from her home.  I thought that was positive:)

We cannot get a "return" on the Search Warrant, so the item's are kept secret.
I was surprised the G.F. name was given out to the public. Was her name was intentionally released, to put pressure on her?

I think this case will be solved, just because, I need to believe in justice.  ::rhino::

Search for Missing Maine Toddler Now Homicide Investigation?

To Bonnie Druker. What can you tell me about this 24-year-old sleepover girlfriend?

DRUKER: Nancy, we know that she was sleeping over. We know that she had a little child. We know they were in the house, sleeping with the little child in the basement, Nancy.

GRACE: OK, let me go to Jean Casarez. Jean, do we know her name? Do we know where she lives? What do we know about her?

CASAREZ: Now, you`re talking about the girlfriend...

GRACE: Yes.

CASAREZ: ... in the apartment? Her name`s Courtney Roberts, 24 years old, on again, off again girlfriend. But here`s the thing, Nancy. If you`ve got three adults in that home -- and investigators are now publicly saying they believe more people know vital facts -- three people, if they have knowledge, they`re going to talk. And then it multiplies. And that`s why people in the community, they believe, know what happened.

Well, we called this one......no shock :(
http://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/504851-aylas-plight-lets-help-if-15.html#post7041584

It's a complex case to say the least. I think from time to time, we all are complex. I know that since I hosted the Vigil this past Saturday, (That was the second one that I did), things have been made more "Public." I may have to do a third one, and have the entire "Waterville Community" just waiting to find out, like me, if we will continue to keep "Hope" alive as well as "Faith". In matter of fact Canibus, that is why this past Saturday, I took the 2 hour Vigil, divided it into 4 - 30 minutes segments, and spoke of "Hope, Faith, Community and Family." It was a good Vigil, but only heard by those that had gathered up here in Waterville, Maine, and was only about 60 in number. There were a lot more than that, but the rest were made up of media; Radio, Television, and I think I saw a couple of them from S.A., but they don't understand English too well, but they are just trying their best, like me, to get a "Little" girl home ... and that may just have to be where it looks like it may be ... as of this writing this morning.

Personally, I hope this comes to an end fast. People are really getting on my nerves, especially since Saturday, when I dawned on me about my friend and the personal message, and the way that I have to word things. I have to, because that is what Law Enforcement officials have advised me to do. I am not trying to hide anything, nor do I want to add fuel to this mess up here. I know that I am not giving enough time to my "Medical" marijuana grow here, as well as spending all day posting, either here or on FaceBook. I just can't. It's because I am running around, trying to get this resolved as best as a normal, yet with a tarnished record (Felon) can do. Some people get it, especially my "Family of Community in Waterville" knows who exactly who I am. They know about my past, yet, cast that aside and just want to help both me and Ayla.

Lou Linnell I have tried talkin to her an beggin her to let me see my grand daughter but all she can say is that my son an her dont get a long so i dont want gabby seeing any of you. I will try one more time an if its still a no then im takin the next step.ILL bring her to court. I dont want to but i will if i have to.My heart goes out to princess AYLA .

Seems as withholding the kids from the other parent/grandparent is the norm for the DIP's.......I'd have her a$$ in court so fast it would make her head spin. Elisha, you should be ashamed of yourself, first more than likely you know what happened in the home and or where Ayla is, and you won't let Gabby's nana see her because you don't "get along" with her son, WTF????

Double rot in hell to all of them ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyNoNo::

Lou getting grandparents rights to visit isn't an easy thing to do.
..
Where is Daddy of Gabby, doesn't he see the baby ? Why can't HE bring the baby to Lou for a visit ? Can't he make some noise about his daughter living in that house ?
Maybe he doesn't live near, but as the other parent he has some rights, doesn't he ? 
Don't know the situation, but surely there is something HE can do.
....
On another, rewatched Phoebe  .... did she seem stressed and frantic when Susan Candiotti
was speaking to her ? I had a thought last nite ( fever and cold ) but what if Phoebe removed the child and the rest of them are covering her azz ?

If the state took may baby and gave custody of her to my druggie ex while I was trying to better myself, then my baby ended up with a broken arm while in his custody, I was denied phone conversations for a full week, my baby went missing, then her blood was discovered splattered on the floor of the basement of the home she was in and none of the adults in the home passed polygraphs, I would most definitely not be as gracious toward the father as Ayla's mom is being. 

Naive to say the least.

Thinking about it further, though, it's probably a protective measure from going crazy over the situation and her lack of control over the outcome.  I hope she has a really good support system for her and her cute little boy when the truth becomes undeniable.  What a tragedy.

You are correct, Kat-Gam, Maine doesn't make it easy for grandparents to get their own visitation.


http://www.ptla.org/grandparent-visitation-rights (http://www.ptla.org/grandparent-visitation-rights)

A "sufficient existing relationship" usually means that the grandparents have acted as parents for the child/children in the recent past.

I agree with you. I do wonder though if part of it is that she is probably in a program (AA, NA - can not remember what her substance of choice was) - my program tells me to remember that others are sick people too and to treat them with tolerance. But as someone that has been practicing the program quite a while I understand I am not a doormat and I would be all up in his face. But she strikes me as a new person that is confusing the tolerance with allowing people to walk all over you. JMO.

I also hope that she has a sponsor in her program and that she has some victim support persons ( professional) on a daily basis. I would have to be carried and have a paramedic on standby.

NEWS CENTER -- The Waterville home where missing toddler, Ayla Reynolds, was last seen came under attack Friday night. Waterville Police were called to the home on Violette Avenue by the owner of the home, Phoebe DiPietro, who said someone was throwing objects through the windows.

The call came in just after 11 o'clock last night. Upon arrival, police found two broken windows. No objects were recovered, leading police to believe that a bat or some other object that was carried away from the scene was used. Police used a K-9 team to search the area.

No one was injured but Police Chief Joseph massey says he is very concerned about the incident. He says, "These types of calls are actually quite serious. There is a chance that someone could be injured by flying glass. It scares people. And, it could escalate into a confrontation between the occupants of a home and the suspect." Massey further stated that if a suspect is identified, they will be charged with Criminal Mischief (a misdemeanor crime) and other potential charges. He added, "We simply are not going to tolerate this reckless and harassing behavior."

Guess someone doesn't want to tolerate a missing baby where everyone is lying who was involved to the degree that they were in the house ( except for Phoebe and her yes / no toggle answer ). I would not go and break any windows, but on a Friday nite SuperBowl weekend after bar closing time, some might. Says to me that the public anger is simmering over in Waterville.    

BBM   ::rhino::

I hope this doesn't bring diversion to the real crime here:  a missing baby.  I can have sympathy for people's anger, but their actions are not helping Ayla.  That is, of course, unless it was done by JD or some of the family themselves.  I guess that makes me a certified cynic, doesn't it?   ::CowboySmiley::

Me either Kat-Gram, but I agree with you about locals getting a bit restless knowing that the 3 in that home plus Lance and/or Phoebe know too IMO, and hearing about the blood ....well I just don't feel a bit of sympathy for any of them, broken windows VS possible abused, murdered toddler left to rot in the elements......yeah, so not giving a rat's arse, although I wouldn't do it I understand the anger, frustration of the locals- especially after reading the local news and comments posted by many allegedly local. The drug angle also makes me wonder why not ONE person of the 3 in that home had a job, and thinking maybe they didn't need one iykwim, 1,000 oxycontin is more then a small time player would have, I think you'd have to go to every pharmacy in my town to find that many so that screams to me major connections, aka major drug dealer.

LOL~ no more than me, that was my first thought after " not hearing violins for the 3 in that house", color me a cynic too ::MonkeyHaHa::

Me thinks' it was the "grillfriend"  IMO

Just trying to put it all out there, Elisha and Justin both attended Waterville H.S., I read Justin didn't graduate and I have no proof either way, so when the backpack was pulled out of the river yesterday everyone thought it was his, IIRC it was from a Waterville student in 2006, so Justin would have been gone, he's 24 but Elisha is 23 according to this site I am posting, so could it have been hers?

I am suspicous of all in that home and Lance and Phoebe, Courtney must be very street smart living with a drug dealer and IMO a hard core one with major connections to get 1,000 oxy's, so I can see her resenting Ayla, on her info posted on a pregnancy site she was really worried about finding a man that would accept and lover her son...but, regardless of who did this, the entire crew are cowards and just as guity for perpetrating this fraud on Trista and the materna side of the family, the taxpayers and those poor divers who are putting their own lives at risk at diving in water below 32 degrees...I think they must all be sociopaths (JMO) stick by their BS story and continue to hurt the members of Ayla's family that are in such pain, watching her papa Ron Reynolds is heartbreaking. Again, may they rot in hell and very soon

I uploaded the photos of the home with the windows boarded up and the layout of the home. I strongly suspect that the home "vandalism" was an inside job becuase why would a random vandal just happen to smash the windows that are NOT bedrooms where ppl sleep, IMO these were broken because nobody in the home wanted to have a window broken in a bedroom even though they are boarded up, cold would come in IMO, I also found these photos of 30 Violette that was for sale and look a the basement....not very big, and hardly the place I would want a child sleeping. I wonder if this or one of the other homes on Violette for sale were the place the other search warrant or search took place?

Ayla's uncle summoned for assault
Lance DiPietro is accused of kicking another man in the face today, police say.
Morning Sentinel staff reports



WATERVILLE — The uncle of missing child Ayla Reynolds was summoned on an assault charge today.



The uncle, Lance A. DiPietro, 27, allegedly kicked Justin Linnell, 22, in the face after a brief scuffle in a parking lot off College Avenue.

Linnell, who declined medical treatment, is the father of Ayla’s cousin, Gabriella Linnell. Linnell and her mother, Elisha DiPietro, are not married.



 ::MonkeyEek:: I just caught this, Lance assaulted Elisha's baby daddy.......

Nice Justin......I missed this portion too:

Lance DiPietro, of 19 Ash St., was driven to and from the scene by Ayla’s father, Justin DiPietro, according to Police Chief Joseph Massey, who described the incident.


http://www.kjonline.com/news/Aylas-uncle-summoned-for-assault.html

Interesting twist...

I think somebody is going to crack soon. Seems the baby daddy to Justin's sister's child, little Gabby, has filed for custody. Hope that makes sense, sounds like another redneck family tree with few branches. Cant say I blame Gabby's father, I wouldn't want my child in that house.

About noon Monday, the DiPietro brothers were driving north on College Avenue near Hazelwood Avenue. Across the street, they saw Linnell walking north. Justin DiPietro drove his SUV into a nearby parking lot and stopped. Next, Lance DiPietro climbed out of the passenger side carrying a wooden novelty baseball bat and confronted the man.

Do Dangers of Baby Ayla's Home Pose Threat to Cousin Gabriella?

As the missing baby Ayla Reynolds investigation extends into a second month, violence continues to mark the family. Ayla's uncle Lance DiPietro faces assault charges after allegedly exiting a vehicle driven by Ayla's father Justin DiPietro Monday and attacking the father of their sister Elisha DiPietro's baby Gabriella. According to NECN, Lance allegedly kicked Justin Linnell in the face.

Police said Lance confronted Linnell with a bat, accused him of "saying stuff about my family," and the two got into a scuffle during which Linnell fell, the Portland Press-Herald noted. While Linnell was down, Lance kicked him in the face, police said.

Waterville Police Deputy Chief Charles Rumsey told Bangor Daily News the dispute was about Gabriella. Linnell had just come from the courthouse where he tried to move up a custody hearing date.

Violence and danger are repetitive themes within Ayla's paternal family. Baby Gabriella lives in the same home from which Ayla "disappeared," with two of three adults police say aren't forthcoming about Ayla's fate. Is she safe among the DiPietros and their associates?

* Ayla suffered a broken arm while living in the DiPietro house. Her mother Trista Reynolds sought primary custody before the little girl's reported disappearance in part due to concerns her daughter may have suffered violence in DiPietro's care. She cited facial bruises, a strained muscle, and a broken arm, all occurring within a 50 day period. While DiPietro told her the injuries were accidental, Reynolds said she had doubts. Elisha was home when Ayla's arm broke, according to Phoebe DiPietro.

* Ayla's blood was found in Justin DiPietro's basement bedroom. The Kennebec Journal reported there was more blood than a small cut would produce. Nancy Grace noted when blood is found with luminol, as with some of baby Ayla's blood, it often indicates a high velocity impact.

* Linnell is barred from seeing Gabriella due to a protection from abuse order, the Portland Press-Herald said.

* Ayla and Gabriella's uncle, Lance DiPietro, was convicted of seven misdemeanors and five civil violations prior to Monday's assault charge, according to the Morning Sentinel. His criminal history includes theft, underage drinking, and allowing a minor to possess alcohol.

* According to Associated Press, Bob Vear is a DiPietro family friend who organized vigils for Ayla. Vear acknowledged on a Find Baby Ayla Facebook page he administers, "I am a pedophile;" the post was removed but can be viewed on internet blogs.

* Vear claimed to have inside information, saying he knew about blood found in DiPietro's room on Dec. 24, weeks before that news became public. That's the same time he invited Lance DiPietro to Christmas dinner. On Facebook, Vear wrote to an unidentified friend, "I know what you know. The 'Gig' is over. It's time to Fess Up. To be a man and do the right thing."

* Violence appears to be the norm in the DiPietro family. When asked about her reaction to learning of Ayla's disappearance, Phoebe DiPietro, Justin's mother, replied, "I...thought that I didn't want my son to go get any of his friends and go kicking in doors looking for her."

Mother of missing Maine toddler threatens to sue DHHS

The mother of a missing toddler whose disappearance garnered an outpouring of national attention claims Maine social service workers may be at fault.

Nearly two months after Ayla Reynolds was reported missing from her Waterville home, the toddler's mother, Trista Reynolds, says she's considering filing a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services.

Reynolds claims DHHS workers didn't ensure Ayla's safety by conducting necessary checks and reviews, and says her daughter's disappearance may have been avoided altogether if they had.

"DHHS just didn't do their job," Reynolds told The Portland Daily Sun late last week.

"I think if they checked up on Ayla, we wouldn't be where we are today," she said. "I think it's partly their blame."

Is Ayla Reynolds Victim of Illegal Custody Grab?
By Carol Bengle Gilbert | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Mon, Jan 23, 2012


Trista Reynolds, mother of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds, and her family, released an online statement Sunday on Facebook addressing events leading up to Ayla's disappearance. The Reynolds family provided information on Ayla's custodial arrangements prior to the girl's disappearance. The account questions whether a child protective services supervisor acted outside of her authority in transferring the little girl to her father Justin DiPietro.
According to the statement, Maine's Department of Health and Human Services took action after Trista Reynolds, under the influence of alcohol, had an altercation with her sister Jessica Reynolds Oct. 12, resulting in a police visit. Trista Reynolds says the next day a DHHS official told her to "kick the alcohol or lose the kids," and she entered into substance abuse treatment, starting that day.
Ayla's Care
DHHS allowed Trista Reynolds' mother Becca Hanson and sister Jessica to care for Ayla at Jessica's apartment during Trista's treatment, the statement said. But on Oct. 17, a DHHS caseworker and CPS supervisor contacted Jessica and told her to give Ayla to Justin DiPietro. The reason given, according to the Reynolds, included the statement "dad trumps the aunt - any day."
That same day, Lewiston police removed a kicking and screaming Ayla from the Reynolds apartment, the report said, and brought her to DiPietro who was waiting downstairs.






I'm sure this has been covered here, but this is what really gets me.  I understand the mother was drinking and she went to get help - But it was out of the fire and into the frying pan - the aunt trumps dad statement, Why did he even pursue this?  The broken arm has always disturbed me.  No one was alarmed by it.  The doctors at the hospital? DHHS? And a pedophile around the child? Just not a lot of caring in that house.

Like I posted before, a statement someone made on another board, unfortunately that poor baby is in the water after he or someone in that house lost their temper.

Lawyer: Ayla's aunt telling the truth

WATERVILLE -- A lawyer representing the grandmother and aunt of missing child Ayla Reynolds said Monday his clients do not know the circumstances behind her disappearance.

Steve Bourget, a general practice attorney in Augusta, said Phoebe DiPietro, 47, and Elisha DiPietro, 23, retained his services in early January, a few weeks after Ayla was reported missing from their home at 29 Violette Ave. The DiPietros approached him to serve as "a buffer between the press and their personal lives," Bourget said during a phone interview with the Morning Sentinel.

Elisha DiPietro was one of three adults at the home on Dec. 16, the night before 20-month-old Ayla was reported missing. The other adults were Ayla's father, Justin DiPietro, 24, and his girlfriend, Courtney Roberts, 24, of Portland.

Police have said the three adults aren't telling the full story, but Bourget said otherwise.
 ::snipping2::

Thanks for the posting, Trimm.  I know that I feel better now that a scum-sucking low-life attorney assures me that his clients are telling the truth.  I guess this legal-ho went to the Jose Baez school of law.   ::CowboySmiley::

Excuse me..but mom did not do her part for her daughter either..how many times did she check on her own daughter while Ayla was with the sperm donor? SHE is partly to blame for her own life style..she should not be throwing any stones in my opinion...too easy to blame others..all just my opinion..and I am not one bit sorry if it offends anyone...parents make a choice to take care of their own children or to think of themselves first..She picked this guy to be the father of Ayla...and she chose to go down the path of drugs and alcohol..jmo...

Jeremy Hanson, 19, of 1372 Main St., Clinton, was summonsed Monday night on charges of criminal mischief and violating conditions of release.

I was on FB when Heidi Tudela posted the insurance info.......sorry, unless it's a gerber policy from birth - I don't buy this BS, he had no job, why not get medical insurance for Ayla instead of life insurance, she wasn't even there 2 months, and Trista called her daily, Justin was supposed to return her after the 7 days and then around December 8th IIRC he refused to let her speak to ayal saying she was playing or sleeping, don't buy that either....that house is hte size of my bedroom and bathroom and I can hear my loud kids from the 3rd floor, so if she had been playing there was no reason not to put her on the phone.  ::MonkeyMad:: ::MonkeyMad::

I'd sue them just to add pressure and then sue Phoebe since it happened in her home......I wouldn't really care about the money, but sometimes it takes that to get attn about failed policies.

Ayla Reynolds: DiPietro Took Out Life Insurance on Baby  


updating....As we seek confirmation, Trista Reynolds' website is reporting the disturbing news that Justin DiPietro took out a life insurance policy on his child's life, while unemployed.

If so, this not only speaks to premeditation and against accidental death/cover up, but also triggers investigation done by insurance investigators;  some of whom have high levels of training and are adept at getting to the truth.

The age old motive of greed...

After learning he failed a polygraph and stormed out of the police station when they showed him the luminal enhanced photographic evidence of Ayla's spilled blood, DiPietro has avoided making any public statements.

DiPietro was reported to have filed for a cessation of child support payments.  

Taking out a life insurance policy on a child will bring new questions to the investigation and likely cause investigators to further grasp what was revealed in Justin DiPietro's statement:

he did not act alone.

Filing for cessation of child support, and then taking a life insurance policy out against a child, while unemployed, will buttress the circumstantial evidence case against him and Courtney Roberts, and may include Elisha DiPietro.

How much did Phoebe DiPietro know about this when she lied on camera?

Please recall that in order to be deceptive, one must seek to deceive, either through the withholding of information, or the falsification of information:  it is an act of the will and reveals motive.  

Why did Phoebe DiPietro need to lie about her son?

Heidi Tudela
Okay I am just going to answer some questions right up front because it has been brought to my attention that there are some questions out there regarding an insurance policy and Justin trying to terminate his child support payments. First of all he did not try to terminate his support payments, That is just not true. In fact I know for a fact that he was concerned about whether or not he should still be making them now. So called to see how to handle that and make sure he did the right things. ANd as far as the insurance policy my son sold him that policy. He contacted him. As my husband and son do all their clients. It is their job. That is what they do. It is their job to make sure and offer to all clients to cover for life and insurance and also in this case it happened to give Justin a better rate because it gave him a mutil line discount saving him $40 a month. The policy itself was a a small one that would cover funeral costs and not much else. So there it is. But have to wonder once again why "people" are trying so hard to point fingers in another direction????



That post if gone and has been "clarified" twice, the next to last one:


Heidi Tudela

First of all Justin did not bolt from police station untrue. He left calmly. ****When he was told by officer that Ayla was dead.**** He then said that he was done with interview. Unless they have proof of that then that is one thing he is not willing to listen to. Next Justin has spoken with DHS regarding what he is now supposed to do about child support payments. He HAS NOT filed papers at this time to terminate payments. That is again simply untrue. That will be up to DHS and what they tell him he needs to do. And as for the insurance policy I can answer to that also. My son sold that to him. It is both my husbands & my sons job to make sure that their clients have proper coverage. And that is what they do. For ALL their clients. So my son approached does all his clients. And went so far as to point out that it would also give him a multi line discount saving him $40 a...


and finally the last clarification...


For those who are talking about there being a life insurance policy bought for Ayla: Justin also bought a policy for himself where Ayla is the beneficiary if anything were to happen to him. AND he did not seek out the policy, his best friend of over a decade is in the insurance business and this is his job. He sells insurance for a living, as does his dad. How do I know this for a fact? It was sol...d to Justin by my cousin. And just to put it out there, we bought policies for all three of our children too. If you speak with a financial advisor or insurance person, they will likely explain why it's a good idea, even if, and especially if you have little income. My husband and I did it many years ago on the advice of a friend. It is NOT evidence against Justin of a crime. It is what parents do. Especially if their best friend is in that business and is approached about it.



I just don't understand how this family who doesn't have a pot to pizz in, no jobs (except Pheebs ) can afford to rush out and add a life insurance policy on a toddler? Makes less than zero sense to me....now Pheebs and Elisha have a "general practice attorney", but he is listed as criminal and real estate.

 ::snipping2::

WATERVILLE — A lawyer representing the grandmother and aunt of missing child Ayla Reynolds said Monday his clients do not know the circumstances behind her disappearance.


 
Ayla Reynolds was 20 months old when she was reported missing from her Violette Avenue home on Dec. 17. She was last seen wearing green one-piece pajamas with the words “Daddy’s Princess” printed on them. A $30,000 reward has been offered for information that leads investigators to Ayla. State Police are asking that tips be directed to them at 207-624-7076.

State police won't comment on website claims

Citing anonymous sources at the Maine State Police, Ayla Reynolds’ maternal family released a statement Monday that the child’s father, Justin DiPietro, failed a police polygraph test, bought life insurance on the child after taking custody of her and sought termination of child support payments after he had custody of her.


The statement was released on the website www.aylareynolds.com, which is run by Trista Reynolds’ step-father Jeff Hanson.


Maine Department of Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland said Monday that he was aware of the Reynolds’ statement, but wouldn’t offer new information on the investigation.


A message sent to Justin DiPietro seeking comment was not returned.


Steve Bourget, a general practice attorney in Augusta, said Phoebe DiPietro, 47, and Elisha DiPietro, 23, retained his services in early January, a few weeks after Ayla was reported missing from their home at 29 Violette Ave. The DiPietros approached him to serve as “a buffer between the press and their personal lives,” Bourget said during a phone interview with the Morning Sentinel.


Elisha DiPietro was one of three adults at the home on Dec. 16, the night before 20-month-old Ayla was reported missing. The other adults were Ayla’s father, Justin DiPietro, 24, and his girlfriend, Courtney Roberts, 24, of Portland.


Police have said the three adults aren’t telling the full story, but Bourget said otherwise.
“That’s not true,” he said. “As far as Elisha is concerned, she has been honest, open and told the whole truth.”

Ok, GRRRRR.............everytime I post that link, it post this way. Any ideas??

3rd try maybe a charm

Facebook web links like to "break".  If you want to make sure it's a clickable link then do as I do, hightlight the link when you are typing out your post then click on the INSERT HYPERLINK button (http://scaredmonkeys.net/Themes/default/images/bbc/url.gif) .  That will insert the URL tags and your link will no longer be broken.

IMO, this was all about child support from the beginning on Justin's part.
He wasn't set up anywhere to look after a child, he was couch surfing at friends and then presto gizmo, he is at Phoebe's all set up to look after a baby. His gf lived with a drug trafficker.
The move to change the arrangements was not done as part of on official court process and they certainly moved in quickly and GAVE the child to Justin. The child was with her grandmother while Trista was seeking help. If Ayla hadn't become " missing " Trista was going to have a fight on her hands to regain the child.
..
Around here, this would have not have happened the way that we are told this played out.
The wheels move slow in Child and Family Services. They have to consider what is in the best interst of the child. And that seems to take reports and more reports. Time and more reports. If Trista agreed to these temp arrangements then some undue pressure was put on her while her brain was still scrambled. Or she was just plain lied to as to : he would give the baby back and it was while she was trying to get help. Seems she was punished for getting that help under her real name.
it all just happened too fast. Like they had a plan and as soon as the worker found out she was in treatment it was carried out.
..
I know why this one is under my skin, it's personal and I can't share it because my DD reads here.   

Thanks, that was so frustrating......I've never had that problem until I got the Iphone where half the time I can't see the link, so when I was on the laptop and it was quirky, well I was clueless.

That says it all.

Doesn't it though! Also Heidi Tudela who runs a daycare from her home is on the page, and it was her son IIRC that sold unemployed, basement dwelling thug a 25,000.00 life insurance policy the first week Ayla was with him.....wonder what he used for $$$$$, of course he knew he wouldn't have to pay that long IMO.

Reynolds also says she's learned new information from investigators about what Justin DiPietro may have done before and after his daughter went missing. According to Reynolds, DiPietro took out a $25,000 life insurance policy on his daughter after he got custody. Reynolds also says DiPietro told her he filed to end his child support payments after Ayla went missing. Additionally, Reynolds says investigators told her DiPietro failed his polygraph test, and left the building when he was shown pictures of his daughter's blood in his basement. Department of Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland said he didn't have any comment about these allegations.

Missing Maine toddler's mom: Dad bought insurance policy on girl before she disappeared
Published February 15, 2012
| FoxNews.com
The mother of a missing Maine toddler said the girl’s father took out a life insurance policy just weeks before she disappeared, MyFoxBoston.com reported.

“In the same week Justin took Ayla from me, he took out a life insurance policy on Ayla," Trista Reynolds said, the station reported. "Now, why did he take out that life insurance policy? I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. Because who takes a life insurance policy out on their own child?"

Hello Monkey's,

Does Phoebe DiPertro (grandmother) have a FB?

Thank-you

http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/2012/02/ayla-reynolds-dipietro-took-out-life.html

Filing for cessation of child support, and then taking a life insurance policy out against a child, while unemployed, will buttress the circumstantial evidence case against him and Courtney Roberts, and may include Elisha DiPietro.

How much did Phoebe DiPietro know about this when she lied on camera?

Please recall that in order to be deceptive, one must seek to deceive, either through the withholding of information, or the falsification of information:  it is an act of the will and reveals motive. 

http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/2012/02/ayla-reynolds-dipietro-took-out-life.html


I was looking for Phoebe DiPietro FB.  It will be interesting to see what Phoebe's opinion is with the Life Insurance.
She is in the Soup, too. IMO

Mother of missing toddler says concern is growing
www.wlbz2.com
The mother of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds says Ayla's father is no longer talk...ing with her, and she believes that either he, or one of the two other adults inside the house the night Ayla disappeared know what happened to her.

Video at link......seems reality that Ayla is NOT ok is sinking in, but I know no matter how well you prepare yourself for it , that fraction of hope you keep tucked in your heart trying to remain positive keeps you from totally letting it hit you....once the worst happens, the hell begins.  ::MonkeyWaa::

Ayla’s mother going on offensive in search for missing girl
By Christopher Cousins, BDN Staff
Posted Feb. 15, 2012, at 6:50 p.m.             
Troy R. Bennett | BDN
PORTLAND, Maine — Trista Reynolds wants to know what happened to her little girl, Ayla Reynolds, but there’s a limit to the details she wants to hear.

Reynolds said thinking of what might have happened to Ayla on Dec. 16, 2011 — the day before the then 20-month-old toddler was reported missing from her father’s home in Waterville — brings on her darkest moments.

“I don’t think I want to know what happened that night,” said Reynolds during an emotional interview Wednesday with the Bangor Daily News. “I don’t want to know if she had to suffer or if she was in pain. I don’t want to know how she felt. That’s not something a parent or a mother should have to feel.”

 ::snipping2::

The police have told me I can tell people whatever I want about the investigation, but that they won’t back me up with it,” Reynolds said.

McCausland said Wednesday he would not verify or deny Trista’s statements or the information posted on the website. McCausland also said police continue to urge Ayla’s family members to talk to the media. Asked if the Reynolds’ public statements complicate the investigation — particularly details they say were given to them by police — McCausland said they have not.

Justin DiPietro has refused numerous requests for comment from the Bangor Daily News since Ayla’s disappearance, including an unanswered phone call Wednesday.

“I have no reaction to specifics about what any family members are saying,” said McCausland. “I also have no reaction or information about what the website has said.”

Trista Reynolds said she has known some of the details she released over the weekend for several weeks, but chose to air them now in an attempt to put pressure on Justin, his sister and his girlfriend. Reynolds said DiPietro hasn’t responded to her phone calls or text messages for about two weeks.

“If this is going to be how I’ll get him to hear me, so be it,” she said. “He won’t answer my calls. He won’t even text me. I’m not stupid. It’s like, I know you know more than you’re telling me. Whether you want to start being against me and clam up and hide away again, that’s fine. I will put it out there for everyone to know the truth.”  ::justice2NJ::

Missing Maine toddler’s grandfather challenges dad
By Associated Press

WATERVILLE, Maine — The maternal grandfather of a toddler who went missing two months ago is challenging her father to explain what happened on the night she was last seen in his home.
 ::snipping2::
Ron Reynolds said today his family is being torn apart because the father, Justin DiPietro, and others in the Waterville home won’t explain what happened before Ayla Reynolds was reported missing on Dec. 17.

"That eats me up every day," an emotional Reynolds said from Portland, where he lives. "Why didn’t they protect her? Why didn’t he protect her? He was responsible for her safety and welfare."

When and if they release the 911 call from the Dipietro's that day. I am going to use this to
do some investigating. I am going to bookmark this one for future and past reference. The authors are professionals, they were Quantico trained.

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2194/is_6_77/ai_n27504386/

911 homicide calls and statement analysis: is the caller the killer?
Afrantic young man called 911: "Get an ambulance to 168 Birch. My friend's been shot!" In another instance, the father of a 1-year-old boy reported, "Yes, ma'am ... my, my son can't breathe."

Do 911 homicide calls contain clues that could help investigators identify the killer? In these two examples, the first caller demanded immediate medical assistance for his friend and did not commit the crime. In the second instance, the father politely reported his child's condition, never asking for help for his son or expressing any urgency. He had shaken the boy, who later died.
....................

Great article and my favorite part was this below:


 ::snipping2::


But McCausland suggested Thursday that the DiPietros could be doing more to help investigators. He said detectives are encouraging the DiPietro family to keep Ayla’s name in the public, something the Reynolds family has been doing through a website, billboards and interviews with the news media.

"We continue to encourage the immediate family to keep Ayla in the headlines and to talk about her," McCausland said. "One side is doing that, and the other side is not."

 ::snipping2::

That pretty much says it all to me....

As far as the insurance goes, usually a death certificate is required before a payout is made.
To get a death certificate here in Canada the time frame is 7 years, or it was.
It has to be proven that every effort was made during that time to locate the person and that that person is presumed deceased as there has been no activity in employment, banking, health care, school records and all the rest of it. Police reports made, all the rest of it.
This was done for a family member of mine years ago. Too long of a story and way off topic here on that person. 
So Justin is sol for now as far as that goes. Unless he got the ninja kidnapping policy.
I don't know how it works to get off the hook for child support. But Justin must know.
