ME ME - Ayla Reynolds, 20 mnths, Waterville, 17 December 2011 - # 6

I hate to say it, but the first who gets to the police station, JD CR ED can probably get the best deal. Whoever cares about their own child should be sprinting right now. Moo

I have been trying to figure out WHY these people are covering for the perp.

And wanting to hold onto their own kids is all I can come up with. Maybe JD is telling his sister and gf that they will lose custody if they admit what really happened.

Does anyone remember, I think Trista had said at one point she gave DNA? If so, they are probably using it to try to match the blood.

To be fair, any of the three adults could be the perp, if it was someone in the house.

That is true, but i think less likely that the sis would cover for the gf or that the gf would cover for the sis. imo. The only perp that makes sense to me is JD. I don't think that PD would cover for the gf either. But she would cover for her son.

MOO ... one of the first things I thought of is they are SCARED of Justin ...

JMO ... but from "little info" we have, I will NOT be surprised to learn in the future about a "temper" or "anger" problem ...

That comment from Phoebe DiPietro "said it all " -- the comment about Justin and his "friends" going "kicking in doors" ...

Phoebe has obviously "witnessed" this "type of behavior" by Justin ... otherwise -- she would NOT have said that -- especially when her answer was in "response" to a question about Ayla ...

MOO ...

Interesting long comment about an hour ago regarding how DHHS may have played into this:

Morning Sentinel posted 1:22 p.m. 1/28/12, updated 4:15 p.m. 1/28/12: Blood found in Ayla Reynolds' home

Interesting, the timing of this announcement to coincide with the vigil which seems to have been mostly arranged by the DiPietro side (based on media quoting Vear, and on Lavande's earlier statement that Lost and Missing did not assist in this event). We've all been hoping for weeks for any kind of an update from LE, and they have apparently known about the blood for some time. Why release it today? :waitasec:

I think one or more may have helped to hide the body, either from their own fear, or because he forced them to. Now they are afraid. JMO

Unless more than one is equally culpable in some way. I can't get my brain to imagine what happened to Ayla...could she have tried to leave her bed and go downstairs to find her father and taken a terrible fall and they did not call 911? Or was she struck? Was there some sort of jealousy among the other two parents there re: Ayla? It could be so many things, or as some believe, she may not have been there that night at all-but that would really require the other two doing some serious covering-up that is kind of hard to believe. Surely (?) LE must know when she was last seen by someone other than the three adults??

Thre is no honor amongst criminals. The instinct for self preservation is probably screaming at each person involved in the farce at this point. :cow: only a matter of time now before somebodies instinct to give up the rest wins out.

 

[naturallyme]

I think they already have Ayla's DNA from the paternity test.

 

[Detective Klimpt]

I agree that Justin is probably done talking to the media, as well as to LE, and the next time we hear from "him", it will be via an attorney <respectfully snipped>.

Sadly I think that even if they prove it is Ayla's blood, they do not have enough to arrest anyone. I fear that without a body (and maybe even with a body), someone is going to walk away free from this. If a cadaver dog hit at the Irwins couldn't get an arrest, then neither will blood evidence at the DiPietro's.

As a sidenote, I read somewhere that Courtney is in Florida vacationing and trying to get in some additional classes to help get into her master's program.

I have a friend that lives in Waterville. Only a few miles away from the DiPietro's house. He knows the family. I have been trying for weeks to get him to tell me something about this family, and he won't. He is very close-mouthed. And he is they type of person who doesn't want to spread rumors or anything. I talked to him today about the blood found in the house and what he thought.
I think that LE is right to focus on Justin.

JMO I do not want to violate TOS. If this post is a violation, mods please delete.

 

[tlcya]

Haven' t made it all the way through the comments yet but they are interesting.

One of them got me thinking once more about a broken arm and a possiblt temper ( door kicking comments by PD).

I am off to research broken arms that are known to have occured through abuse (ie type of breaks and type of abusive act which caused them).

Gonna bet I will find they occur by yanking child up by arm and/or carrying roughly in that manner, dangled by an arm. Can' t stop picturing JD with armload of groceries, angrily jerking a recalcitrant Ayla up the back steps by her litle arm.

SPECULATION - NO LINK

And there was the editorial piece this morning, before the news of the blood evidence. It definitely looks like a concerted effort to turn up the heat on JD. LE knows at this point that JD doesn't like being called out and will respond to criticism from the public. I bet he's not talking much to LE, and they hope he will go public with another interview or statement. I think he has an anger problem and if provoked, he may slip up and reveal something pertinent. All MOO.

Don't worry, these LE have a community that will back them and No high profile criminal defense attorneys deflecting people from seeing the truth.

 

[cluciano63]

While under normal circumstances, of course parents would report an accident, I think some of tend to forget that many of the situations encoutered here on WS are not "normal", at least not in the way we think. It appears Ayla was conceived either in carelessness or at the very least, without a lot of thought about preparing for her future, i.e. a safe place to live, resources to take care of a child, a committed partner, a sober mom, etc...that said, I can see how a parent who has a child with a broken arm that may have raised eyebrows, at least initially, might not be in a hurry to call 911 if the child has another accident of some kind. Children can have head injuries, for example, and seem okay and then hours later be dead. JMO of course, but it could explain a hasty midnight exit from the home later that evening...

 

[naturallyme]

I am very glad LE released about finding blood. Now, I wish they would tell what part of basement. If it was near "the steps".

MY son broke his arm when he was 3 and a half. We went to the ER and we were flagged by a rep from social services and we were interrogated,separately, in another room. Broken arms are a big red flag for child abuse. But like you said, it matters HOW the break appears to have happened. Our son's break was not a rotated or twisted fracture, which would be evidence of someone pulling him by the arms. Or assaulting him and twisting. He fell forward on top of the coffee table while jumping from the couch, so the break was consistent with our story and HIS story, because he was very verbal.

Toddlers have fractured wrists quite often because the wrists are still growing and are not yet fused. So a simple fall can easily result in a fractured wrist. But a broken arm, that is a different matter, and can be a red flag.

ETA: We did not wait 24 hours to take him to the ER. We went immediately.

Ayla’s parents meet at vigil for missing toddler
---snipped---

Their words were private, but their body language spoke of anguish.

Trista Reynolds, who rocked back and forth on the City Hall steps as she talked to DiPietro, earlier had addressed the news that police have been analyzing blood found in the basement of the Waterville home where 20-month-old Ayla was last seen.

“I don’t have the answers you guys are looking for,” she told media gathered at the vigil. “I want to know where she is and who took her.”

Reynolds said that she was trying to process “the concept that blood was found” at the home where her daughter had been living, then broke off, huddling for support with two other women who gathered her in their arms.

DiPietro said that he did not want to comment about the police report.
