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

[katydid23]

So was it normal for Phoebe to be somewhere else or was the abductor just lucky that there was one less person to wake up?

I am starting to think that maybe she lived in a different place or had a boyfriend she stayed with a lot.

Good, I'm glad the media is picking this up.

Seems to me this is a website to spin things positively for the DiPietros. Got it.

Once again, the emphasis is on how "ordinary" and "normal" that night was when Ayla disappeared.


DiPietro last saw Ayla on Dec. 16. Harry describes the evening as ordinary.

I don't know about "spinning it". Can't the truth be that in fact, this was just a normal ordinary night?

When kids go missing you often have to think, did anything weird happen that might? Was there someone there as a guest who wasn't ever there before? Did someone knock on the door that seemed suspicious that day? Did they have some kind of contract work done late that afternoon?

It's helpful to know whether things were routine or not.

On the other hand, I think we all saw in the Shasta Groene case, that what seems to be a clue - a rollicking drinking barbecue party that went on late into the evening at the home didn't, in fact, have anything at all do with the brutal murder of the family and kidnapping of Shasta an hour or so after the party ended. Totally random, stranger crime.

I didn't realize that Justin hadn't been told about Ayla until she was 7 months old!!!

Hmmm...I wonder if Tristas ex originally thought she was his for those 7 months? And how he AND Justin felt finding this info out after 7 MONTHS ~ and how and why it came out.

I would say looking at Ayla, there would be no doubt she is Justins, but did Trista just wake up one day and say, wow, she looks a lot like that guy Justin, she must be his???

Who the heck has Ayla? Where is she????

All moo!

I wondered the same thing, that boyfriend did find the name Ayla in a book of baby names. If he did believe he was the Dad, how disappointed was he to find out he wasn't? Is he still her current boyfriend? Just questions, but I am thinking the police are/have asked those already.

I think so too. That's a pretty jam packed household - it would seem if you had somewhere else to go often, it would be a good destresser.

3 adults and 2 babies isn't really "jam-packed." It is one more adult than a couple with 2 kids might have, even in a smaller home or apartment.

Complete speculation on my part, but I'm thinking maybe she had an established pattern of staying with someone on the weekend. We know what some people tend to do on the weekend, but Phoebe doesn't strike me as the type to be barhopping on a Friday night trolling for a hook-up, kwim? I don't think she had a separate residence because, if she did, it wouldn't make sense for Justin to have to sleep in the basement. If I recall, there are 3 bedrooms upstairs? Is that correct?

As an aside, do when know when Phobe arrived home? I don't remember seeing this anywhere.

 

[Donjeta]

I think two or more adults in the same household probably want more personal space and the home may feel more packed when none of them are a couple.

..3 adults and 3 children.

Also on Friday, DiPietro said there were three children and three adults in his mother’s home on Violette Avenue the night before Ayla was reported missing.

DiPietro said he and Ayla; his sister Elisha DiPietro, 23 and her young daughter; and his girlfriend Courtney Roberts, 24, andher young son, were all in the home. The Roberts are Portland residents.

McCausland said at a Wednesday press conference there were three adults and two children in the home. Friday he said that was a mistake.

“There were two children-- in addition to-- Ayla,” McCausland said.

BBM But she does own a separate residence; the one in Belgrade. She may have sold it, but I can't find any record stating so.

There was a poster on FB that claimed to have grown up with JD because her father was dating PD. I don't know if that's still the case or not.

 

[deoneta]

More "normal" and "routine" from the DiPietro friendly website. By 10 PM, the sister is in her room which she has no reason to leave because she has her baby with her so she couldn't have heard or seen anything. PD is away so she couldn't have heard or seen anything. JD and his gf are downstairs so they couldn't have heard or seen anything. Only the gf's baby is not mentioned, but he's too young to be a potential witness when the "middle of the night" crime occurred. Why would the sister panic when Ayla is not in her room? Wouldn't she just assume she was downstairs with JD? There's lots of info about JD and even more about his gf. There's not much about Ayla, like a detailed physical description, nothing about her likes, personality, health, no pleas for her return even though this is "Ayla's story." All MOO.

From the newest article, and I presume that blogger got it from Justin himself:

There were six people in the house: DiPietro and Ayla; his sister Elisha DiPietro, 23, and her young daughter; and DiPietro's girlfriend Courtney Roberts, 24, and her young son. Roberts and her son were visiting from Portland.

Ayla was sleeping in a room by herself, Harry said. Elisha DiPietro and her daughter shared a room, while DiPietro, Roberts and Roberts' son shared a room in the basement.

Right. I knew about that, but assumed, maybe incorrectly, that she was renting it out. Otherwise, why not just turn over one of the houses to her kids so she could have some peace? It's all very confusing to me :waitasec:

ETA:

Of course, now that I think about it, maybe she was staying in one house during the week to be closer to work, help with the grandkids or whatever, but then staying in the other house on the weekend.

How convenient for Ayla's abductor.

Why was she the only one in the house sleeping alone? Was it normal too? And who would know?

--according to the writer of the blog, it "wasn't at all unusual" for ayla's cousin to sleep in w/ her mom.

 

[naturallyme]

If Justins room had been in the basement for the entire time Ayla was in his care and Ayla had always slept up stairs, it gives me the impression that he relied heavily on the females in the house to take a lot of responsibility for Ayla. While they might claim that Ayla slept through the night this one night, Trista claims otherwise. I know some have posted that their children did sleep through the night at that age and I believe them. However with 3 children in the house under age 2 the law of probability tells me that all 3 did not have the same habit of sleeping through the night. As a Mom of 3 and Grandmother of 6 I can say I got lucky every now and then, but my family must have a problem of thirst. I can still hear ABILK, ABILK at the begining to talk stage, and I TIRSTY, I TIRSTY at about that age. Sometimes they drank like they were dry as a chip, other times just one swallow and fall back on the pillow and be sound asleep. There were times I thought it more a habit than actual thrist, however, I knew there would be no sleep for me until I got that sippy cup.

Shouldn't have got off topic with my own experience, but just saying that it appears Justin did perhaps really need assistance in his new role of Sole Custody and primary care giver that he claims he had.

I don't find that unbelievable, but I think we have to take everything written on that blog with a grain of salt, kwim?

It's JD's "story."

Interesting question. Trista actually spoke about this on NG.

TIRSTA REYNOLDS: Someone just said that -- it was said that Ayla had her own bedroom at her father`s house. She does not have her own bedroom. She sleeps in the same room with her cousin, who is, I think, two months younger than her. So, if -- so why wasn`t she taken? If my daughter went missing, why didn`t her cousin -- you know, at least make a noise or scream or be taken as well.
GRACE: So you`re telling me that, Trista, that there would have been somebody else sleeping in the room with her?

TIRSTA REYNOLDS: Yes! Like, I`ve been to that house myself, and I have been in the bedroom to where Ayla sleeps, and she sleeps in the same exact room as Justin`s sister`s little girl.

BBM....

I agree. That bunch is hiding something.

So, ED's child stayed in her room with her, CR's child stayed with her and her boyfriend, and JD's child was left alone in a room? Does this sound normal? A parent would have a woman and an unrelated child in his room, but leave his baby girl,(with an arm injury), alone in a room, upstairs where he is not likely to hear her. Wow, how convenient for whoever snatched Ayla, huh?! The one and only toddler alone out of three children.

January 14th:

DiPietro said Friday he felt some information should be left to the police to make public.

"I would rather let them be the ones to come out and talk about that night, if they feel it's necessary," DiPietro said of police. "I don't really feel that's up to us. If there are certain details they want to share, they should be the ones to come out and share those details."

http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/Toddlers-father-says-he-took-a-polygraph-exam.html
Is this blog and the details about the night the police speaking?
:waitasec:

Why wouldn't he talk himself because it's up to the police but is apparently okaying the sharing of details by a blogger?

I think it is far more likely that the reason the sister and daughter are sharing a room is because the girlfriend's baby is sleeping in the room with Ayla. Thus
giving Justin and girlfriend privacy in the basement. MOO
