ME ME - Ayla Reynolds, 20 mnths, Waterville, 17 December 2011 - # 3

[keeponsearching]

I wonder what the big thing taken from the house is. Maybe its the bed, and they will look closer for fibers or hair. IDK. Now that the cars are return, do you think that means they are satisfied that she was not dead in the car? Gosh I really can't think of the right way to ask that question. Ok maybe, would they return the vehicles if they knew it was part of her disappearance? She is so sweet, with her big blue eyes, and her little teeth popping in. I can only imagine either an accident at home or someone took her. I can't imagine killed by her parent.

He lived with his mother and sister...and there has not been a word from either of them. It is hard for me to understand...did no one from his family form a bond with Ayla?

Yes. This. And I have wondered as well, with not one, but two females, aunt and grandma, how odd it is to me that no one noticed her missing or went to check on her til so late that morning. I have had my adult son, his wife and my grandchildren living with me. When they slept thru or were unresponsive to the 3yr old in the morning I was. Couldnt help it, that was my grandbaby ater all. Its just strange to me but then so much about this case is to me.

I've thought about this a lot.

We had our great-nephew here for a couple of days last week. He's 2. We put him to bed at his bedtime 9:30. I checked on him before we went to bed at 10:30. I didn't check on him again until I awoke just before 8 a.m. Just under 10 hours. It was just 'another night' in our house for the most part. (Call me a bad Auntie but he'd had a very fun filled day and another big day planned the following and my thoughts were not wanting to accidentally wake him and disrupt good sleep.)

Now - reading on these cases I'm very aware kids go missing. Yet I felt safe enough in my own home - even though this was his first time staying with Auntie - that I didn't need to get up and check on him every couple of hours though the night (his mom told us he was a good sleeper and regularly sleeps 10-12 hours a night).

I guess that really changed my thoughts on the 'checking on her' because if things were 'normal' and she had a regular sleep pattern where she normally slept until around the time they checked on her - I just don't see anything sinister - but rather probably a more normal routine.

 

[tlcya]

Good point hoppy. None of these bits and pieces when taken seperately are particularly sinister. It is probably when I am looking at them in their totality that is just not adding up for me.

 

[NFYIAMY]

I just read the article HERE where the custody time line is spelled out.

It really made me wonder:

1. WHY did (considering she says she worried about Ayla being 'bruised' or not properly taken care of when with the dad) did she apparently NOT want her mother and sister to care for Ayla but rather preferred and made arrangements for his less than stellar dad to have custody?
2. WHY the dad felt he needed the police to go with him to get his daughter?
3. Does this hit anyone else odd - that not only did the mother not want Ayla left with her mother and sister - but that dad felt concerned there might be a problem getting her from them when he went to pick her up?

This leads me to believe that the grandmother and sister might possibly be behind this?

Kind of paints a picture of the grandmom maybe wanting custody of the baby -- but mom 'for whatever reason' is NOT ok with that - so she contacts dad and says she's going into rehab and that he needs to take custody of Ayla. She tells dad WHY this needs to happen and he is left concerned that the baby's grandmother is going to refuse to let him have the child so he contacts police and goes about getting her in a safe way. Then mom gets out of rehab but isn't really doing anything to get the baby back. This pisses grandma off and the events leading up to her disappearance occur?

Just a theory/possibility/trying to find something that helps figure out where she is......

MOO

 

[Ricki]

Hmm. Makes sense. I know if this were happening to me I would want my side of the family to take care of my child. I would want them as close as possible to me. Has Trista mother or made any statements? I have seen the grandfather on TV and he seems very upset.

 

[NFYIAMY]

Have we seen the grandmother on tv?

 

[LvsAMystry]

I probably missed this somewhere so my apologies, but do we know why TR ended up in rehab at the time she did? I know she went in for alcohol, but was it a planned entry or something abrupt that happened? I wonder this because if actually planned and agreement for Ayla to be with JD, why didn't the transfer take place between the two of them? I'm thinking it was more a forced event, sudden, and based on some event that happened to force it. I wonder what if thats the case.

I am totally off the fence and on terra firma on this one, what father after breaking his infant daughter's arm (supposedly by accident) would then refuse to take her to the doctor for a scheduled checkup. Who refuses medical attention for ones child.....I believe what happened to Ayla began much earlier as in when the father refused the mother all contact with her baby.
I don't know what happened to her but I see no reason not to suspect this supposed father. JMHO

I agree, but otoh do we know for sure she didn't attend that visit, or did JD just tell TR he wasn't bringing her because he didn't want her showing up?

 

[Little Ol Me]

Until now I have not participated in any interviews for I don't want to in any way hinder the investigation.
However, it is important that the people hear it from me personally that I have no idea what happened to Ayla and that I am not hiding. I have been in full cooperation with everyone in this effort, including not adding additional media hype. "

i do not have a link for that. i'm not saying it doesn't exist, i'm just saying i either can't recall that right now or i haven't seen it. if someone could link that or tell me where they heard it, i'd like to add it to my timeline.

Is this statement supposed to reflect that LE has ordered him not to talk? If so, I'm not seeing it, JMO.

The mom said she talked with him prior to this appt. -- and at that time there was an issue of her wanting Ayla back and for dad to give up custody.

PRIOR to this phone conversation dad DID show up to all the doctor appts with Ayla.

I think there's reason to at least consider that dad didn't show up to this ONE appt because of something the mom may have said during the phone conversation the night before.

Links of transcripts of the mother answering questions veryifying she spoke with dad the night prior to the appt - and her stating that dad had been at all the previous appts are in the media thread.

I think that's its been assumed---- - since the mom has stated over and over again that LE has asked them to stay away and such -- and that LE has put the dad's statements out to the media --- AND that LE has not contradicted the dad's statement........

Okay...well, I don't assume it. His statement sounds like one that was very carefully crafted, to me. And staying away from a search area is not the same as speaking out about your missing child. Mom has been doing that and LE has not asked her to stop, apparently. JMOJMOJMO

NO, sorry , in reading back I think I misunderstood. ... I thought Ask was saying she didn't know where that quote came from. I see now she meant LE asking JD not to talk to media.

 

[NFYIAMY]

Mom has been on a media blitz to bash dad but I have yet to see her upset, shaken, or pleading for her daughter or for help to find her daughter.

I am so on the fence with this one its not even funny. No, actually it feels more like I'm on a see-saw..........

But it's not her room or the homes of her relatives being taken apart by LE...

Right now - we don't know if those are being taken apart because the father did something -OR- because they are collecting evidence to prove someone broke into the house and snatched the child.

All we know is that they are making sure they get all the evidence they can from her last known location.

In one of Mom's first appearances, she talked about worrying if Ayla was cold, hungry, etc...the things I would think would be the typical reactions of a mother not knowing where her child was, or what was happening to her. Mom's father was crying in one interview. I am not saying any of this indicates innocence but neither does it make me think they are more involved than the parent who had physical custody of the child when she suddenly vanished. JMO
