I agree, Lato, that Ayla would have a difficult time with the storm door if it were closed properly. But LE said visitors were at the house Friday night during the time Ayla was last seen. If the storm door doesn't close properly on its own, and people were going in and out and didn't pull it shut, she could have pushed it open. As for the stairs, I know it seems unlikely, but I've seen little ones do amazing things.
I wonder if her dad or others followed a guest out to the driveway as the guest was leaving and didn't notice that Ayla slipped out behind them.
I don't think it is a possibility that Ayla wandered off and out of the house alone. They've brought dogs through, so there would be a trail wouldn't there? Who was in the residence the day and night in question?

I don't think she is the mom Sleuthster.....This is the caption under that picture:Is that mom holding the little boy in the lion hat with her back to the camera?
There is one picture of Ayla and a woman that could be her mom (or maybe aunt), in the second Facebook link I posted.

So Mom has a 9-month old living with her at a hotel but lost Ayla due to something that is not being mentioned? Why would she be allowed to keep one baby but not the other?
Hanson was staying with Aylas mother, Trista Reynolds, in a South Portland motel Sunday as the search continued in Waterville.
This is the worst thing of all because she doesnt know where her daughter is at, Hanson said. Im hoping that they call us soon and say they found her.
Hanson said Trista Reynolds was not able to talk to the media. Trista Reynolds also has a 9-month-old son who is living with her at the South Portland motel, Hanson said.
What I would like to know is:
How long has she stayed at this address, or was this just temporary for the night and she woke up and decided to wander to her regular home? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read the Dad was informed she was not there, which means he wasn't either, so who was it that noticed she was gone?
The toddler had lived in Portland with her mother and grandmother until mid-October
said Becca Hanson, Aylas grandmother. The grandparents, who are not married and have separate addresses, said Maines Department of Health and Human Services had removed Ayla from her mothers care in October.
Ayla Reynolds's father Justin DiPietro
woke up in his Waterville home to find her bed empty Saturday morning and he immediately called police.
Ayla was last seen in her bed around 10pm Friday evening. DiPietro reported her missing at 8.51am the next morning.
And a baby in diapers - that need changing...and a baby that hasn't eaten - in AT LEAST 13 hours...
