I wonder if the DiPietro family get nervous when construction is announced around Waterville?

Trista Reynolds is pressing forward with a civil lawsuit against the father of her child and two of his family members, claiming they should be held responsible for Ayla's death in 2011.

Quote from Trista

I’m going to be really honest — I’ve become numb to her anniversaries,” she said. “I don’t do the ‘what ifs’ anymore. I don’t sit there and think about what if she was here. I don’t put myself through that any more. I’ve come to realize she will never celebrate the holidays with me or with the boys. I’m never going to know what she would look like or be like. Ayla is no longer here with me. That was all taken from me, all of it, and I’m never going to get it back

I've always felt there's no way any adult in the house that night doesn't know how so much of Ayla's blood got spread around and cleaned-up. They would all know at least who was responsible. And it is the parent's responsibility (her father's, in this case) to know who cleaned up that much blood from his own small child in his own home.

So I hope the civil suit is successful.

I still think about this one. I know the odds are a million to one, but one day I'd like to see Ayla's remains found and laid properly.

Trista Reynolds, who is the mother of Ayla Reynolds, reached a settlement that brought her civil lawsuit against the girl's father, Justin DiPietro, and his sister and mother to a conclusion last month. Terms were not disclosed.

But that doesn't change the status of the criminal investigation. “The investigation is still active, and detectives continue to follow up on any and all leads,” spokesperson Shannon Moss said Tuesday.

Just curious. Does anyone know why wasn't Jason's ex named in the suit? She was there, too.
