ME ME - Ayla Reynolds, 20 mnths, Waterville, 17 December 2011 - # 5

The idea of the texts is very odd...as though JD was preparing TR for Ayla to be missing? I don't know what to think. I can't think of any reason for him to be texting her things like that, when they weren't even close, except to put it in her mind that someone might take Ayla. ?

Unless he was telling the truth. Maybe he did have the feeling that someone in Trista's family was going to try and snatch Ayla. What if Trista had a close family member who lived right by Justin and wanted the baby out of his home?

 

[katydid23]

She is a bit confusing too. She thought that Ayla was OK and well cared for? Or worried because she got bruised a lot?

Hindsight may play a part I suppose. And she could have been trying to balance between telling how she feels and not getting on JDP's bad side so he would talk to her.

Imo, she says a lot of contradictory things. She says here that she thought Ayla was being well cared for. Yet she has been screaming that she was bruised every time she came home,had a leg sprain and couldn't walk for three weeks [ which I doubt] and had a broken arm which was never tended to. ????

I think JD or his mom would be saying so, if that were the case, and loudly...JMO

Not only weren' t they close but she descrbes him as uncommunicative towards her, paricularly regarding Ayla, yet this he chooses to seek her out in a text to discuss?

If he suspects she or a family member is planning to take the child would he really text her about it or would he go to court to insure he had his parental rights protected? He and PD sure seemed to be willing to go the law and order route to get the physical custody in the first place.

Agreed. Odd.

She says they were not communicating and yet he said LE had the 'scripts' or logs of their communications. So it may be up for discussion.

I don't think he sought her out, I think he was trying to say to her, " I know what you all are up to."

Here's my take. Sis/mom are going to watch her kids. Jd says I want Ayla. TR is in or going to rehab. She hems and haws- I can see in her statements she was concerned, like most mothers would be letting someone else have your child, but he is aylas dad and maybe those bruises were accidents. Her mom/sis probably say no, we want her. Trista doesn't fight it because she is off to rehab to get back on track. Jd decides to get Ayla, gets LE to come with him, and he takes her. Trista prob talks to him about her expectations, live with his mom, etc. She gets out of rehab. And I would like to make my opinion clear- she is not a BAD MOM for not rushing over there and demanding Ayla back. The situation with jd is not ideal but she is trying to get her life together and she just might be mature and responsible enough to admit that she is not equipt to care full time for Ayla right now. Now as days pass, trista might be realizing something's amiss. She has only seen her once, twice? At the Dr's office? Why can't I talk to her? She is noticing jd isn't cooperating, jd mentions Ayla might be taken, and then jd talks about filing for custody and not taking Ayla to the specialist. Whoa!!!! Red flags come up and trista high tails it over to file her own custody papers. Ayla goes missing and, I personally think, she starts telling her suspicions to the media because she is putting it all together in her head as the case is unfolding. The end. Moo

Very well stated! This theory also matches mine. Trista has also stated that JD would not let her have Ayla back. She filed for custody just prior to Ayla missing. I'm guessing that she maybe got into it with JD about him not letting her speak too or see Ayla and she wanted Ayla back. IMO, JD wasn't about to let her have her back. Period.

How do "we" know the media isn't/wasn't/didn't try to interview the women... maybe the media did, and those 2 women said "no". ??? ---jus' sayin'. I have been adamant since day one, the people who were there that night need to be interviewed, re-interviewed, and WHY aren't those ppl talking, or revealed???

just my thoughts

Yes, probably. But why would they refuse to be interviewed? Is the Irwin case setting a precedent here?

I just do not see how anyone could get in the house and take Ayla with 3 adults in the house.

I do not see how 3 toddlers can sleep 12 hours and not wake anyone up.

I do not see how the sister and gf could cover for Justin if he hurt Ayla nor do I see how he would cover for either of them. The more people that know about a crime, the more chance of someone breaking and confessing.

<sigh> I feel the same way about the baby Lisa players. I have a hard time understanding how anyone could cover for someone that commits a crime.

She only said he would not talk to her after the disappearance, not beforehand. All MOO

 

[dog.gone.cute]

I thought I had sen early on that LE had checked out TR's alibi and she was where she said she was? Off to try to find that. As to a family member or friend taking Ayla - we don' t, any more than we don't know that someone on JD's side has done so on his behalf.

Neither seems any likelier with each passing day.


Eta I cannot find a link to where LE early on said T's whereabouts had been verified.

BBM: Just jumping off this : Yes, I don't recall LE verifying TR, or anyone else's whereabouts the night Ayla went missing.

LE has NOT given out much info on this case. And IMO, it gets a little frustrating :innocent: ...

While I understand LE does NOT want to compromise the investigation, LE is keeping their "lips sealed" on this one ...

JMO ... but I am "guessing" that they are just waiting for "someone to slip" ... big time ...

As it has been pointed out, this case is looking more and more like Haleigh Cummings, who has not been found and it's been 3-4 years now, and you have Haleigh's father Ronald Cummings, and Misty and Tommy Croslin sitting in jail for DRUGS -- NOT what happened to Haleigh.

I hope that Ayla is found and this does NOT end up like Haleigh's case ...

MOO ...

I agree - my kids mostly slept through the night, but I let them stay up later in the evening, and usually we were worn out before they settled down. I always dreamed of putting a toddler down at 8 p.m. but it usually didn't happen, LOL.

And sometimes they would sleep 8-10 hours, but it was never like clockwork. Teething can interfere with sleep, or a dirty diaper, or with a younger baby, simply hunger.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned whether they fixed her a bottle that night before bedtime. With a sling on her arm, could she hold a bottle? If not, she probably would have whined or cried. I just wish we knew more about her regular routine.

An almost 2 year old should not be getting a bottle at all, let alone right before bedtime...The milk would pool in her mouth and she'd have horrible teeth. Aside from that, my daughter who turned 2 today goes to bed at 830 and does not wake up until 9 each morning. Granted, I do go in the room to wake my other child at 630 for school. Even through that, she sleeps. Every child is different...

If one family or the other IS hiding Ayla, I hope that someday the entire family is garnished for whatever wages they may ever earn to pay back for the searches and investigation...JMO

That's a possibility of course, but I don't see Justin 'hurting' Ayla in order to hurt Trista. I don't think he and Trista have enough of a relationship for him to want to hurt her. In the cases when this happens, it's usually a scorned, hurt, disturbed individual that wants to hurt someone they think (thought) they loved. He could have filed for custody or at the very least joint custody and never lost contact with Ayla. If anything, and I'm only stating this as a possibility because everything is possible at this point, my opinion at this point would be that it was an accident...not a spiteful thing at all.

I have a question. BESIDES dad, Who is the last person, on record as saying when and where Ayla was last seen alive and awake?

I am assuming it would be one of the other two people inside the house not publicly interviewed. Am I correct that Grandma has now been on record as NOT being there the night before she was reported missing...

 

[HiHater]

Something about TR's interview(s) doesn't/don't sit right with me. Why would you be telling a toddler your deepest, darkest secrets? What are these secrets that you cannot find another adult to confide in? Why would she be telling her all the bad things that happened during her day, and saying that the child is "listening?" I've been a parent for a long time, and I don't think I'd call my child my "best friend," because I actually have a best friend who is an adult and operates on my cognitive level. To each her own?

Don't most people shelter their children from the bad things in the world, at least until it's age-appropriate to reveal some things? Additionally, her demeanor just seems...inappropriate to the situation. Could be just me...idk

This is the big question...no one has come forward and said they saw her, or when.

 

[CincinnatiKate]

I have not gotten the impression that TR was a healthy, well balanced, emotionally stable woman. I am not saying she is a bad mom, I am only saying that what a rational, emotionally stable and sober mother would do, can not be applied. I do believe she (TR) did view this innocent, loving child was her best friend, because she loved her mother like no one else.

I find TR to be immature...not a crime, last time I checked, and maybe not a great quality in a mom, but that's how I see her. She may be one of the many thousands of young moms who have a baby for love and companionship, i.e. to have something of their "own." She wouldn't be the first. She comes across as flighty but sincere to me, at least as far as knowing where Ayla is, which I don't believe she does. She thought Ayla was in under the care of JD and his mom; his mom, in my view, was supposed to be the "safety net" for whatever fears she may have had about JD. As we know now, Grandma was not there when it counted. JMO

 

[CincinnatiKate]

Then I believe NO ONE DID. As far as I am concerned, this child has been missing MUCH MUCH MUCH longer than what we are being led to believe. I personally believe that the "party" at the house is their attempt to distract from the actual disappearance.

JMO, but I believe that there are many loving, right, and absolutely unique ways to parent a child. Many two and even three year old children have a bottle of milk to go to bed with. Personally, I have not used bottles at all with any of my four children; they were each breastfed for two plus years. I never used pacifiers either. Actually, both bottles and pacifiers in general can be more detrimental to a child's oral development, (jaw and speech), than that of causing tooth decay. That said, I have known people whose children went to bed with a bottle of milk and experienced no ill effects from it in regards to tooth decay. It is simply all a matter of perspective, IMO.

I wish even one of my four children would have gone to bed at 8:30 pm and slept soundly until 9:00 the next morning--lucky you! My two and a half year old is up and ready to go before 8:00 am each and every morning--unless he is sick which is a rare event--regardless of what time he falls asleep. He wakes up at least once for a diaper change and another time to be comforted back to sleep. But, I do understand that each and every child is unique. I also recall in interviews with both Trista and Grandfather Ronald individually that Ayla does not sleep through the night? I would also speculate that with three toddlers, with three uniquely different personalities, in a small 988 sf home, that at least one of the children would have needed some attention in a twelve to thirteen hour time period? Yet, there has not been any mention of that.
