ME ME - Ayla Reynolds, 20 mnths, Waterville, 17 December 2011 - # 2

[vlpate]

NG on GMA talking about new developments in Ayla's case.

 

[vlpate]

I woke up this morning to read the remainder of the old thread and all of this thread, as well as all the articles. At this point, I'm now seriously on the fence :fence: about this case. Here are some rambling thoughts I've had:

• Mom comes off as sincere in how she wants her daughter back
• Mom has it in for Dad.
• Mom is not a suspect at this time due to the fact she wasn't in the area.
• She had or has a drug problem.
• She has two young children, obviously by two different men. There is no news about the 9 month old boy. Where was he when she was in rehab?
• She is living in a motel with no fixed address. Why is her mother with her rather than the other way around?
• Neither parent has a criminal record.
• Dad releases a statement through the police and spends more time defending himself against the mother than begging for his daughter's return.
• The house was full of people the night of abduction. How late did they stay? Did someone leave at 3:30 AM making all the noise?
• The child did not fare well under Dad's care, and the care of his mother, sister, and mystery woman.
• LE is holding the details extremely close. Good news for them, bad news for us. (I prefer it that way if it helps bring Ayla home).

Now, I fully understand why LE doesn't want the mother anywhere near the father. In addition, LE usually doesn't want the parents involved in the physical search. Should Ayla be found deceased by a search party which includes a biological relation, their DNA could contaminate the crime scene, implicating them in the crime. In fact, just finding the child while on the search could be interpreted as the person having prior knowledge of the crime.

I do believe Ayla was taken from the house for one reason or another. Alive or deceased, she needs to be found followed by prosecution of the perp.

I wonder why Tristan says she hasn't talked to the father, yet he has transcripts of their conversations. I wonder if she was threatening him.

--ayla slept in the same room as her 18 month old cousin-----did she also not get up until 8:51 a.m. saturday?

--i would sure like to hear more from the family members that actually lived in that house..

( and i do realize that all kids differ---but i sure would have thought i was in heaven if my girls slept until 9 a.m. ! when they were that age.)

RBBM: Good Point !

And I wish we would hear more from the family members that lived in that house ...

Hmmm ... JMO ... but they are keeping "quiet" for a "reason" ...

MOO ...

 

[momshrink]

Then why would the police have been nice enough to release this statement for him? The way I see it, the release of this statement from the father, through the PD, is their way of disputing many of the mother's statements, such as that LE doesn't know where he is. I think the only thing he is saying is that he isn't LE, and it isn't his job to point fingers. He'll let the professionals handle it and hope they do a good job.

Sounds like he is taking the high road. Does anyone know what he does for work?
The state, not dad, removed this child from moms custody. This is not done lightly or because the state does not like people.
If this child is found alive, she might not go back to either parent.
My Christmas wish is stable loving families for all kids.

Justin's entire Statement is in a "box" on the right side of the article at this link:

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.

I took his statement to mean, he wont sit their and go on the news and start pointing fingers, but instead to talk directly to LE and let them do what they are train to do. Lets say someone other then the mom or dad took her, with everyone thinking its just one person, they might be missing something they have seen, or heard. KWIM. I watched this show on discovering channel about how your mind is so concentrate on one thing, you miss stuff. For example motorcylces crashes happen more often when A car does not see them, why, because they were looking for a car, and their mind didn't see the bike. Probably off topic but just showing an example.

 

[vlpate]

Wonder if the dad and grandmother faked an abduction because they knew the child's mother was filing for full custody. There is something fishy about this case.

That scenario is a good one except for the fact that the father already has custody, and with the mother being homeless and fresh out of rehab, chances are she'd lose. She'd have to became employed to have a chance unless he's abusing the little girl. She'd have to pay child support herself if she loses - which might actually be the case if he has full custody.

I'd venture to guess that's what this mother was wanting when she filed for custody is child support, otherwise she would not be living in a hotel room with a baby and no job. She'd have her baby. Am I judging? Yeah, women should stop having sex with men they don't know and having babies they can't afford because they are broke from buying whatever "substance" they're doing that lands them in rehab -- there are enough missing, dead, and broken kids out there because people have kids for the wrong reasons or just because they're careless. Of course I'm not talking about ALL parents of missing, abducted, or murdered children. 4 to 5 die by their parents hands every year....1 per year is too many.

Frayedknot gave an excellent analogy when she retold the story of King Solomon and the two women upthread. The one who loves the child for the right reasons should be the one with the child.

I also thought he was directing this to Trista, seems to be bad blood between them. The part of "police being able to prove who is responsible for this" really bothers me though. It does seem like a dare to me too, as hambirg mentioned.

I don't know what the confusion is around this.

From Askfornina's post upthread. . .

Reporter: Reynolds says she hasn't spoken to Ayla's father Justin since their daughter disappeared.

And from the dad:

Contrary to some statements floating around out there, I have been in communication with Ayla’s mother over the last couple of weeks

http://www.pressherald.com/news/Fat...s-for-first-time.html?cmpid=breaking-news-box

TR never says that they haven't spoken over the last couple of weeks. . .just since Ayla disappeared.

that looks better, when the press doesn;t tear it apart.

 

[Donjeta]

Wasn't it posted in the other thread that the father lawyered up? That sounds like a lawyer statement right there.

If it's a lawyer statement I am unimpressed with the lawyer. The statement tilts more towards public image building and correcting statements that have been made about him and lacks passion about finding Ayla.

I will not make accusations or insinuations towards anyone until the police have been able to prove who's responsible for this.

It sounds like he's expecting someone to be responsible for this, instead of Ayla wandering off on her own.

 

[vlpate]

Nothing new on GMA with the ever lovely and sweet NG.

 

[Donjeta]

I expect he means call logs and not actual transcripts of the conversations.

Confusing. She also said she hasn't seen Ayla since he was given custody (I may be mistaken, this is what I recall), yet she has seen bruises on her?

Both could be true at the same time if she came home with bruises from her visits with dad prior to the custody switch.

Do we know for sure when JD got Ayla? I thought there was something said about mid October. But TR also said that the last time she saw Ayla was Nov. 17th (I think. I'll have to go look.)

What I think that means is that Dad had Ayla, but Mom was still having visits until he moved up to Waterville. MOO

ETA-but it's pretty much clear as mud right now.

I have no opinion on this case, but I'm guessing his 'statement' has not met the approved 'what you are supposed to say when your child is missing' guidelines that seem to be established these days.

I will say I'm not impressed with the mother making the rounds, which seems to be more for finger pointing then imploring that her daughter be found.

It was just my personal opinion and not a general guideline. I have seen more passionate flyers from people who want to find the lost teddy bear of their toddler.

But maybe he does not wear his emotions on his sleeve or maybe the statement was written by a lawyer and that is why.

It would be great if everybody could concentrate on finding Ayla but if it's true that the mother was concerned about the baby getting bruises and broken arms while with dad it might be hard to not voice the suspicions.

I have no problem with that, something seems off to me about the mom going on all these shows but it doesn't seem (to me) that the main focus should be her daughter. She could still have suspicions, and voice them, but she could also be wrong. The main focus should be finding her daughter.

 

[krimekat]

I just watched ng and I am confused and mad that this gma and mom of this lil girl is still 80 miles away. Why not go find this baby

LE told them to stay where they are . . . they are respecting LEs wishes
