The two details that IMO are most "telling" at this point are these:

A) that the home within which Ayla resided with her father, grandmother, aunt, and cousin(near in age to Ayla.. Whom Ayla shared a "bedroom" with) is still in LE's possession and therefor still actively being searched and gleaned for evidence.. The family NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN THE RESIDENCE

..and..

B) the fact that LE is using great amount or resources and manpower to-effectively search all bodies of water in and/or around the immediate surrounding areas of the home.. These areas of water and dumpsters being there very main focus is IMO telling as well..

What does it "tell" me?.. Of course this is just my opinion and certainly am not stating as fact but IMO these ^above^ two issues tell me that it's very likely that LE have found something of grave importance in that home.. Thus the reason they are methodically and meticulously going over every square inch of that home and property to glean as much as possible that begins to tell the story of what possibly happened to Ayla.. That happening whatever it may be IMO "BEGUN" in that home!! Whether it was a beating that resulted in death or something even more sinister.. IMO with LE still in that home actively processing it leads me to believe that there is something found that indicates an "incident" occurred in that home(be it cadaver dog hit, trace blood/DNA evidence, or other physical evidence found).. IMO there has been something found..

As for the serious and continued focus that we are seeing on these areas of water, along with dumpsters is quite telling as well.. With all the resources and manpower that's being solely focused on these particular areas tells me that there is something that leads them to believe that Ayla is In fact deceased.. We all know that in single digit degree weather at/around either dumpsters and bodies of water that there is not a search taking place for an ALIVE CHILD.. that's just a fact sadly.. Therefor IMO is very telling for where LE is at with what they may believe to have happened to her.. As I said there is something that has led these officers and the great amount of resources and manpower that is being used in these immediate area searches.. Something indicative that little Ayla is no longer alive..

These are jmo of what I believe to be of the greatest importance as far as LE focus and possibly their reasoning for these avenues they are currently, doggedly pursuing for little Ayla..

A couple other thoughts of mine are very much am I questioning how
Long ago this incident involving Ayla may have occurred?? As in I believe it's possible that she didn't go missing overnight Friday.. But rather has been missing prior and that there was much done between the time of the actual incident and their actual reporting on Saturday shortly before 9am.. KWIM?? This I am none too certain of simply for the fact that I feel I can not base much on the words of mom, Trista.. Whereas I am iffy on believing that it's true that dad had not allowed Ayla to speak nor see mom in the last couple months??.. Does anyone have any further clarification on if this is fact or fiction?? It's very bothersome that the neighbor did not even know that Ayla lived at that home(as had never seen her).. It's these issues that make me believe its "possible" that Ayla has been gone for days or more!?!!

One other new fact that I just learned today was unlike how I'd originally believed that Trista's rehab stint was here very recently.. Truth is that was way back in October for 10days ONLY!! so am I to understand dad has had Ayla from just a few days into her rehab stay(when DCS placed her with him) and that they've been living at the mothers.. Yet the neighbor in all those weeks was not even aware that Ayla was there?!?? WTH???
And is trista claiming that he's not allowed her to see Ayla since October when she entered rehab???

Last but not least is the newest custody hearing that Trista had secretly attended Thursday(24hrs before Ayla disappeared).. Am I understanding correctly that she went and had this hearing with his having zero knowledge?? And that the judge at that hearing granted the mom, Trista sole custody of Ayla??
Where's gitana?? I know she'd have the answers for us in a millisecond as to what exactly took place because it certainly sounds fishy to me that tho Maine's state DCS removes Ayla and places her in the sole custody of her dad, JD and that custody has remained for the last couple months and that Trista, alone goes to court(per NG) and pleads her case to the judge asking that she immediately be given sole custody of Ayla and that the judges grants this?????

What about the removal 2 short months ago and The grounds for the removal?? What about DCS involvement since they are who placed Ayla's custody??? Would not they have been contacted to hear what their findings and recommendations were for placement of the child?? It just sounds absurd to me that she goes before a judge, whines, and judge grants all her wishes just like that???.. So here's the biggest kicker and question of all from me..

If, according to Trista she goes to court Thurs morning and is granted sole custody of Ayla to be returned to her from dad, JD that's been Ayla's custodial parent for 2months... If that's what the judge ruled on Thurs morning then can someone explain to me just how in he!! that it is that Trista, the mom just goes on about her life STILL WITH NO CONTACT OR EVEN TALK WITH AYLA OR DAD.. Ayla continues to reside and remain in dad's sole custody where 2 full days after Trista is awarded sole custody returned to her that Ayla while still with dad goes "missing"??????

Can someone/anyone possibly explain that huge inconsistency in the story that mom is telling to the national media??????

TIA and I apologize for the long winded post:blushing:

On JVM it was reported that a reporter asked why the police have told the mother to stay away from Waterville. His response was this was news to him.

They didn't show the officer, but JVM says she was told that by a reporter.

JVM asks why the mother wouldn't be there searching for her child.

Hmmmm...

Was also reported from a brother of Trista that the father was not involved for a year and then all of a sudden wanted to be a part of the child's life. Says that one time after the child came home from being with him, she couldn't walk for 3 weeks because of a pulled muscle.

3 weeks??!!??!! A pulled muscle in a toddler??!!??

here's what Chief Massey said about the searching:

Q: Is it true that you told Trista Reynolds not to search, and has Justin Dipietro and his family expressed an interest in searching to police?
A: I personally do not have any information that she has asked to participate in the searches, nor do I have any information that Justin has.
Q: Would you have given them permission? Is that something you would know about if it happened?
A: Not necessarily. We have talked to the family, and as I said the family continues to be fully cooperative. If they at some point had offered that to investigators, I'm not sure.
Q: Would they be allowed to?
A: Uh, when we do a search, we determine the type of searchers that we need. In some areas, we need the specialized training that I talked about these folks have today. In other searches, we ask for volunteers, and we go ahead and coordinate that. That's something that the search coordinator would make some determination on.

She filed papers on Thursday. Nothing about a court hearing.

not a full transcript, just some important parts:

Chief: Let me start off by talking about Justin Dipietro's statement that he gave to investigators sometime around mid afternoon yesterday. That was eventually filtered out to the command staff in the early evening hours. There was a decision made to go ahead and release Justin Dipietro's statement to the Waterville Morning Sentinel. I understand there's been some concerns and issues about that, we talked about that today and we will certainly change that to make sure that in the future that type of information gets filtered on to all of you.
We continue to receive leads. We have approximately 165 leads that have come in since we started the investigation. That has been keeping investigators very very busy, as you might imagine.
A couple of other area's that we've expanded on the search for the Warden service: we've searched the Kennebec River, we are currently searching the Kennebec River, from the Waterville Winslow Bridge south. We've also expanded our search to a small pond on the 1st Rangeway, that pond was pumped down by the Waterville Fire Department, obviously we could see the bottom of it. We are also in the process of searching some trails off from Kennedy Memorial Drive across from Shaw's Plaza.
There are approximately 80 searchers. We have about 50 of those folks who are from the Maine Association of Search and Rescue. They are civilians but they have a lot of training in search and rescue. They work hand and hand with the Warden Service when they are required. We have about 15 firefighters, more than a dozen Wardens and we also have Marine Patrol that are joining us today and they are providing a search of the river with their boats.
These searches are in places where we would logically want to go ahead and search based on their location. We want to rule out every possible area that we can in our efforts to find Ayla. That is our focus, that is our goal, that is our aim, we are not going to lose focus of that. We are going to continue this investigation until we locate her.
Q: Was Justin Dipietros statement given to you by him or by his attorney?
A: That was given to investigators by Justin.

Q: I received a call yesterday from a woman in a southern state saying that she thought she had spotted Ayla in a hospital waiting room and she said she has contacted police. Are you familiar with what I'm talking about?
A: I am not, but I am not aware of every lead that comes in. Those are filtered down to all the investigators and I don't necessarily see every single lead. We may have gotten it, it may have been looked at, and acted on. I don't know.

Q: Is it true that you told Trista Reynolds not to search, and has Justin Dipietro and his family expressed an interest in searching to police?
A: I personally do not have any information that she has asked to participate in the searches, nor do I have any information that Justin has.
Q: Would you have given them permission? Is that something you would know about if it happened?
A: Not necessarily. We have talked to the family, and as I said the family continues to be fully cooperative. If they at some point had offered that to investigators, i'm not sure.
Q: Would they be allowed to?
A: Uh, when we do a search, we determine the type of searchers that we need. In some areas, we need the specialized training that I talked about these folks have today. In other searches, we ask for volunteers, and we go ahead and coordinate that. That's something that the search coordinator would make some determination on.

Not sure what to think here. LE certainly is focusing on JD's house --or rather, his mom's house. If Trista has not had Ayla in her care since she (TR) went into rehab; then Ayla has been (presumably) at the dads' house ever since.
I do believe that it's possible for an unknown person to abduct a baby/toddler from a home occupied by one or more people; but I think it's about as likely as the UPS man deciding to take someones' kid while he's delivering a package ---- in other words, maybe once in 30 years or so.
This is reminding me of baby Lisas' case. It almost seems like people are getting ideas from other cases in the media.
Smooth Operators' post gave some insight into both parents and what might be going on, behind the scenes.
If I can find it; I'll link to JVM's clip of the conversation to one of Tristas' friends, who stated that JD has family in CPS ---- which may explain why Ayla was placed with him in the first place.
Sounds like both parents were having some difficulties ; sad.
jmo.
Prayers for Ayla !! If harm has come to her...she deserved better !

TIA and I apologize for the long winded post:blushing:


I think mom is telling the story in a way to present herself in the best light. Not the way things actually happened. Paternity would have to be established before the courts placed the child with dad. I think mom was court ordered to rehab and we do not know what led to the removal of the child from her care. If this child is found alive tomorrow, mom still does not have custody. I think the state is involved and chose the placement. MOO

It doesn't surprise me that LE still has possession of the home, because whatever happened to Ayla happened there...be it a kidnapping, a wandering child, or something else. The fact that they are still combing the house gives me no indication of the direction their findings are taking. It just tells me they are being very thorough, and I am glad of that. How many times have we seen LE make a cursory run through the house, only to sit here and wish they'd done a more exhaustive job of it?

I went back and reviewed the "tweet" in the above post, which states :

Robb1239 Rob Poindexter
Source just told me all communication to the media now must go through Public Safety's Steve McCausland.2 minutes ago via Plume


Just my opinion and interpretation ... but it does NOT state anything about communications between the parents -- Justin and Trista -- and the media, and LE ...

My "interpretation" is that The Publicy Safety Person, Steve McCausland, is the individual who will be handling all "communications" between all the Law Enforcement Agencies and the media ...


:innocent: Maybe a "local" here can verify IF Mr. McCausland is maybe something like a "public relations person" or some type of "liaison" between LE and agencies ...

Again ... JMO ...

Sorry if this has been answered already (am playing catch-up) but yes, this is exactly the role McCausland plays. If you google him you'll see that he is the go-to spokesperson in the state for crimes, accidents, etc.

ETA: His title is Public Information Officer for the Division of Public Safety. From

http://www.maine.gov/dps/Commissioner%27s%20Office.html :

"Public Information Officer - Stephen H. McCausland - : 207-626-3811 work <modsnip>
[email protected]

Steve McCausland has served as the spokesman for the department and its bureaus since 1988. He is available to answer news media inquiries and advises members of the department on media relations and public policy."

HTH!

It's been a long time ago, but I remember in Sunday School learning this story of wise King Solomon.

He was confronted with two women, both claiming to be the mother of an infant. They each asked the king to give them possession of the baby.

Solomon told the women that since he could not say for sure which of the women was really the baby's mother, he would simply cut the child in two and award each woman one half.

One woman agreed that was a fair decision, while the other fell to the ground sobbing and told the king to just give the baby to the other woman.

The wise king knew then that the baby's real mother was the woman who would rather see her baby be given to the other woman than for it to be cruelly killed.

No need to really elaborate. It is a sad allegory on most modern custody fights.

Sad, but effective, allegory! Thanks!

Yeah, definitely! I am trying to tag everything with the date too, and the source. I really hope that I am not breaking any rules.

Ayla's father, mother & Gpa have not made it to the vigil . . .

weather is pretty bad !!!
 
  • #378
Ayla's father is not at the vigil; however Trista is apparently heading there with her father driving, of which, the roads are apparently quite bad.

I think I heard that correct, but not sure at this point.
 
  • #379
Oh, the brother is saying, the family is not going to the vigil as the roads are bad and that Ayla's grandfather is concerned about getting into an accident.
 
  • #380
Another relative of Ayla's mom is on JVM (I believe an uncle) Thanks above!!!
