You can say that Justin lied, and you can offer proof to back that up. Fine. Fair game. Your interpretation of his lies is very subjective, and when you cannot attribute a statement or lie to him, you say he's responsible for what his supporters have said. Whaaaat?
To turn around and deny that Trista has lied is impossible. You have been shown lies in her own words; sometimes in the same sentence! The maternal family is responsible for a really big inconsistency---getting the day Ayla broke her arm wrong. Then Jeffrey says all they had to go on was "Justin's story of a rainy night". It didn't even rain on the initial date put forward by the Reynolds/Hanson clusterfuck. Explain that?
Anyway. The following is off topic:
Tori Gifford, I understand that your uterus is falling out, but what kind of person would even
joke talk about collecting donations for him/herself in the name of a missing child? You know what though, hopefully these people will donate to you. They can't have their favorite blogger go back to jail for STEALING, so I guess donating would be the most proactive and preventive course of action...ugh
I saw a plea for donations on Facebook on one of the pages. They said something like "if every one of us (over a thousand members) sends a $10 donation, just think of what we can do for Ayla!" Someone (I think it was KJ actually) asked what particular fund it was going to & if it was tax deductible (read: legitimate). The person replied & said it was the Reynolds family account. Uhhhh, nope.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the post we are sending $10 donations to the bank that Trista has set up. KJ removed her post when she realized Ayla's Angels were not collecting money at all so her questions didnt apply. We are just asking those who want to and personally sending money to Tristas account that is on their website. Its very easy for you to verify this if you dont believe it, the post is on Ayla's Angel page.
DeletePlease check the AR website. Its the same account we are donating to. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. Here is our post...For those Angels who can do this!!! From Julie Beaulieu
DeleteThis is the original account on aylareynolds.com If any of you are willing to share on your private page/ groups please do. We want the Reynolds family to know how much we care and want to help them. This is just a small act of kindness but if many do this at once it will show that we are behind them.
I am sharing this here also in hope of g...reater donations to the Bring Ayla Home fund.
To show o...ur support as Angels and for the love we have for Ayla can we all please send in $10.00 to Ayla's account? If we all could do this, considering there are over 1000 of us, that could mean a potential $10,000 for Trista, Ayla, and Ray :) Today I am not on my knees praying, I am on my knees beggin for your help. Please Angels, let us show our support. We are aiming for a specific date in which to have the donations, which would be May 4th. I would love to know on that date how well we have done :)
Please address Envelope to:
Cumberland County Federal Credit Union
101 Gray Rd.
Falmouth Me. 04105
Make check payable to:
Bring Ayla home- acct # 39091
In memo please write the routing number:

Let's do this Angels :) Love and Bless you
I wasn't saying they were lying or whatever you think I meant... Obviously, they made it clear where/who the money is going to. I just have no desire to donate any money to Trista. Hence the "uhhhh, nope."
DeleteIf I knew that the money was going toward something like billboards, flyers, awareness items, etc. then yeah. I'd be all over it. Is there anyone monitoring how they're handling the funds?
I'd love to know what the money in the Reynolds fund is going for. I haven't seen much done from their end that would require all these donations. Unlike other people who have gotten a lot done with their own money.
DeleteMichelle didn't say she didn't believe it, nor did she name the page she saw it on. She said she wasn't interested in donating to the Reynolds family account.
DeleteIf KJ was asking questions, then it wasn't clear in the initial plea where the money was going. I have total respect for KJ. Her questions did apply, and she removed them when they were answered. IMO
Bawhahahahahahaha LB you are such a hypocrite it's hilarious. Yep, send money to Trista everyone! But if anyone sends money to TLLOM for actual real projects....? Wait, I know I know you guys need more tshirts to sell. Good luck with your fudning for your shirts.
DeleteReally? I have respect for KJ as well and yes her question did apply hence my apology for not being more clear on where the money was going. I assumed people new but if you had done your homework, I had said I take FULL responsibility for my choice in wording. That issue was dealt with and was over, so why bring it back? I also never said Michelle believed it or not. Anon 10.5.12..can you tell me how you have come to the assumption that Laurie is a hypocrite? I thought the whole idea was to get Ayla's name out there by any means, Billboards, t-shirts, bracelets etc..The only posts I have seen from Laurie is praising the good things TLLOM has done for Ayla. Why the sarcasm? Wouldn't it be much better if everyone pulled together for Ayla? Laurie is a kind person who wears her heart on her sleeve, that may be her only mistake. Each and every project are "real". IMO
DeleteI had homework to do? I was responding to LB's 1st comment above, which included "KJ removed her post... her questions did not apply" and "Its very easy for you to verify this if you dont believe it." Why bring it back? I don't follow Ayla's Angels, I was responding to what was said - that's what people do on blogs?
DeleteLaurie, you did imply that I didn't believe them: "Its very easy for you to verify this if you dont believe it, the post is on Ayla's Angel page."
DeleteI believed them fully once I knew the facts & questions were answered, but the initial post was misleading, as if a new account was set up for Ayla awareness items. When it was really for Trista's existing account, which I (and others apparently) are not comfortable in supporting, I had no interest in contributing.
I'll ask again...is anyone monitoring how those monies are used?
I thought a few blogs back somewhere that I read that Jeff Hanson is the one that dictates where the money goes.That needs to be backed up though. I dont remember where it came from.
DeleteMoney wasnt what I was looking for. Money is just the icing on the cake, just a few more charges to tack onto kidnapping charges.
Well if you look at pictures from Ayla's birthday celebration you will see lots of pictures of people with The t shirts on that they were selling for 25.00 each Well this is the post about the money on Ayla's Angels Facebook Page
DeleteLB, Can you put up a notification for all that want to do the 10 dollars donations at the ayalreynolds.com for May 4th. It would be so nice to have as many as possible in this group show support for the loving family . Thank you,,you have done so much for Ayla and we all can help in this little small way and make a big impact for finding her. Jeff mentioned that they took all of the money they had which was only 1,000 and made t-shirts for the Ayla's birthday party and they have alot left so that menas they do not have much money at this time whatsoever :(.
Like · · April 23 at 8:30pm
So whose pocket did all those T shirt sales go in.
The money in "tristas" account goes to buy more Ayla Awareness items. How is contributing to that bad?
DeleteYou continuously avoid the questions. What is bought, exactly, by Trista? How does she distribute the items that are bought? She sold the T-shirts for $25 (or $30 & $40, since someone said they claimed they had no change) at the birthday bash. There is no way she bought them for that, so obviously she's making a profit from them. Someone needs to be monitoring this, considering people are donating to a cause they believe is being used to buy/do certain things. ESPECIALLY when people are rallying to get $10,000.00 into this account. You can't seriously be fine with them using the money as they wish, and blindly believe that they're using it ALL for Ayla awareness. I find that very odd. There should be an outside person monitoring it. It's not unreasonable for us to question it, just because you're fine with that scenario. There are many people who are not.
DeleteOne thing I know about myself is im not a hypocrite, I dont post anything without at least using my initials so people know its me, I see others do when they lack the guts to back up what they say. If I find I made a mistake I own it. Michelle, if I misunderstood you I apologize. I mispoke when I said KJ removed her question because it didnt apply. She was assuming Ayla's Angels were collecting money or had an account. When I explained it was the account that Ayla's family has she removed the questions since they didnt apply to us. All of the items we give away on Ayla's page are free but I do ask for a sase because I cant afford all the postage as well as the items. Things are not cheap and I understand Tllom charging the small amount that they did and I dont care what they did with the money,although im sure they were questioned, im sure it was Ayla related and they have my respect for all of the Ayla awareness they have promoted. The bracelet is on my arm and the bumperstickers are in my car windows. No I cant say for sure what Ayla's family does with the money nor is it my business but im positive it goes towards something Ayla related. To hear the questions about the money one would think its thousands or millions of dollars...Their lives have been destroyed with Ayla's disappearance and I seriously doubt they are thinking about money of all things much less the small amount that has raised such questions. I have no doubt that every penny is accounted for and went into Ayla just based on my experiences with them and how they have handled themselves in a horrible and painful situation. They would give up anything they own to have Ayla back much less take money that is given for Ayla awareness when they live their lives to promote awareness and want nothing except to have Ayla brought home.
DeleteIt was one of the Lori/Laurie's ideas
ReplyDeleteEither Boysenberry or the other one...
OMG Boysenberry...
DeleteNamesRunTogether,
DeleteDoes it matter who came up with the idea? The account is the very same one posted here- http://aylareynolds.com/ - If your going to assign a name to your thought be sure to locate the correct one!!!!
That would be Mrs. Boysenberry to you!! Love the name but you need to get your facts straight before posting and making yourself look like an idiot..ooops, you already did!! I have no issues putting my name on anything I believe in and I believe in Helping Trista and her family. Nothing you can say will defer that but wish you lots of luck. It is posted if you would like to make a donation as well. It will stay posted. The post is on Ayla's page. Get with it! Also posted on ARAA page. I appreciate the post and please spread the word. The more help we can get for this family, the better. Great job. Prayers for Ayla! Since you can read so well I will post my name so when you do spread the word for this baby you can have the correct spelling. No need to thank me!
DeleteIt actually does matter who thought of it. Some people's motives are questionable. As are Trista's...
DeleteI thought it was Ayla who needed help not "this family". Why does the family need help? Ayla is the one who is missing. She is the only one who should need help.
DeleteLaurie - "I believe in Helping Trista and her family. Nothing you can say will defer that but wish you lots of luck." I didn't see anyone on a crusade to talk you out of helping the Reynolds family. I'm sure no one here cares if you have your entire paychecks direct deposited to the Reynolds' account. That's your business!
DeleteI also saw nothing insulting about "Boysenberry" - it was cute. It didn't merit the "idiot" comment.
Relax, no one's going to remember your name at all after awhile.
LOL really Really? And they will remember yours..Now I thought my post was quite considerate but obviously you are just looking for trouble. Did I say anyone was on a crusade of any kind? Remembering my name? LOL that is too funny. If you want to know where the funds are going, you will have to ask them. I am not a monitor. All I did was ask for donations for THEIR fund. And yeah I know this is what is discussed on a blog and it seems you are very defensive but yet nobody else can defend themselves without ridicule. I had homework to do? Yes you did if you can't get the correct information. you have a problem with idiot?? You can shoot out the insults though huh? Have fun with that. you are not worth my time and BTW at least I am not afraid to put my name! What is your name? Relax, I could care less.
DeleteYou thought your post was "quite considerate?" You went on a sarcastic tirade because someone said Boysenberry. 7 exclamation points, calling the person an idiot, and telling them to "Get with it!" Did you say anyone was on a crusade? Your words were actually "I believe in Helping Trista and her family. Nothing you can say will defer that but wish you lots of luck." No one was doing that. I'm not defensive. You're the one that came to a site you said you'd never come back to in order to overexplain yourself when your name wasn't even mentioned. I get that you're sensitive and you've put a lot of effort into Ayla. The public will not remember your name after awhile could be a relief to think about? I'm done responding about this.
DeleteCan you tell me Really? when it was that I said I would never come back in order to overexplain myself? I think you have me mixed up with someone else. PS..The public does not know me now nor would I want them to? I do not have a page or a blog, just made a plea for Trista and her family. I don't have any hard feelings toward anyone that questioned it because I did not explain it well. I agree with that, I take responsibility for that, I apologized for that. I admit also that I misread your comment..I thought you were saying the "uhhh no" as meaning it was not an actual account. again my fault. I do not and am not going around looking for people to fight with, I am only and have only had the best of intentions because I believe in helping others.
DeleteI wonder if likewise that Trista is responsible for eveything any of her supporters have said?
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy could I make a long list of some pretty crazy sh*t put out there by Trista supporters. I guess it would only be fair to hold Trista accountable for all that they have said.
As to Tori...Some people really need to think before they write something.
Joke or not, it doesn't look good on a blog about a missing child.
I didn't take it as a joke, S. Wasn't there talk a little while ago about "being outed" and "endangering" her and her family and blame placed on JSTL? Considering that, I was a little stunned when she so freely stated what hospital she would be at, the address, and when she'd be there. That's less than a mile from Violette Ave. Why would anyone broadcast that information about themselves?
DeleteTori think before she writes? Wait, Tori who? ;)
DeleteDid you also notice that it is really funny to them that someone photoshopped Ayla's face off of Justin's shirt to put comments on instead? Loving and respectful of Ayla? There are pictures of Justin in other shirts that they could have played their games with.
DeleteAs a simple joke, she would have mentioned it---but she went on to give the hospital name, the address, and her estimated arrival/departure date. Then she offered her home address by email. People already have her email address, they could have let her beg in private. Who does this type of shit? At least she is no longer stealing to get ahead, though.
DeleteThe bills aren't going to pay themselves, Obscure.
DeleteYes, earlier today I went to read her post. I saw she listed the hospital and it's address.
DeleteI also saw further down in the umm...I'm trying to think of a more polite word...ignorant.. comments, she also posted her home address.
Really?,
I noticed the T-shirts.
The disregard and disrespect for Ayla is just heartbreaking. What makes me more angry is that Ayla's maternal side of the family seems to condone this type of thing.
Jeff is just.....
ReplyDeleteA rainy night is not all that they had to go on.
They had Ayla's mother. It had happened about 5 weeks before Ayla was reported missing. Not that long.
Trista didn't remember the date. She said it was the 4th of Nov. ..that's okay though, poor Trista.
Justin didn't remember the date, but said it was a rainy night in early Nov. ...How can he forget, He's a lier.
@S.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between Trista and Justin is that he did not say he remembered the exact date. Trista did. Justin did not lie. Trista is the one who keeps putting facts out there and changing them not Justin. It is not unusual to not remember a date something happened. I can not remember what happened which day of the week some times. I do however remember "what" happened". That is where Trista messes up. And also if you are going to say you do know something as fact and go so far as to put it in a "timeline" I feel like you should have your facts pretty darn straight. So again the question here is who does and who does not?
I guess i shouls have wrote my comment a different way.
DeleteI was not implying that Justin was lying.
I was comparing the different reactions.
Trista gave a wrong date...no problem
Justin didn't remember the date, but some circumstances, ..He gets labeled a lier.
I agree that if Trista is going to say something is a fact, it should be correct.
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteIf you or anyone else did there research then they would have noticed that the information for the $10 donation can be found here looking under the word Contacts- http://aylareynolds.com/ - Which is the same information on the Facebook page you are refering to.
I wasn't questioning who the money was going to, nor was I saying anyone was lying/misleading. I just don't have the desire to donate to Trista when I have no idea what my money will be used for.
DeleteIt's not really up to Michelle or anyone else to do "their" research. If KJ was asking questions it wasn't clear from the initial plea. It is not Michelle's or KJ's responsibility to have to research it. IMO
DeleteI think most are aware of where the money is going and which account. That may actually be the problem.
Delete@The Brain Scrambler
DeleteGood point. People are not seeing a whole lot of results. Let's face it, it sounds like they have had many donations to "the family" and so far the foundations that helped them put up I believe 8-9 billboards. Which is great. But that was not with the Reynolds "family funds". So what are "their" funds going towards?
Trista could have called medical records at the ER Ayla was taken to and gotten the correct date. As a minor's parent she has full HIPPA rights to her medical records. Saying she can only go by his word is BS.
ReplyDeletenaw, trista is too busy picking up other stuff to pick up a phone and get the truth.
DeleteI saw Tori asking for people to pay her bills, supposedly a joke? Yeah, that was tacky! The thing that nauseates me is I bet her followers will send her money. That personality type is effing annoying. And whacked!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm wondering if she really is having her uterus out, or scamming people?
ReplyDeleteSince she's a proven thief and therefore a liar, I think people are being scammed. I just hope she realizes that asking for donations for a medical condition that doesn't exist is theft too. I'd hate to see her back in the slammer! o_O
DeleteHaha, knew you would read it. Knew you would react. It's just too easy
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's also too easy to get money out of JohnP by "venting" to him? Didn't he donate a significant amount of money to the Reynolds' fund? I'm sure he's a sympathetic ear and a caring person.
DeleteShe was concerned about her address being online? She posted it. The promise of potential gifts outweighs her fear of having her address known?
"Haha, knew you would read it". That's mature. In the meantime keeping scamming people.
DeleteGood point "Beg, Borrow or Steal"...We know she begs, and we know she steals...maybe John P let's her borrow.
DeleteSeriously? People could have attacked you about your mother in law, and they didn't. Why attack peoples medical conditions?
ReplyDeleteWhose medical condition did I attack?
DeleteTrista Speaks___Justin Hides
ReplyDeleteTrista has diarrhea of the mouth___Justin does not.
DeleteMaybe Justin "hides" because of Trista's lies...
DeleteI think this discussion is a waste of time, and immature. Tori has cancer. That topic should be just left alone. I am no fan of Tori, but I don't think that common human decency should be left by the wayside just because people disagree on the facts of this case. I doubt the DiPietro family themselves would go down this road, so I don't think their supporters should either.
ReplyDeleteYou typed 'common human decency' and Tori in the same sentence. Lightning should have struck. There's nothing decent about what she did. Cancer is beyond anyone's control, but tact and self respect are not.
DeleteSunshine,
DeleteI didn't feel anyone was discussing Tori's medical issues, or making light of them. I personaly hope that her biopsy is negative, and wish her well medically.
I stand by my comment that it is very inappropriate, and does not look good at all, to ask for personal donations on a blog about a missing baby. That has nothing to do with her medical problems.
Are we sure Tori has cancer? She has lied in the past about her child having cancer. Is she lying about hers?
DeleteMy point is......does she truly have cancer? Considering her past, it's not unusual to ask.
DeleteI didn't discuss her medical issues, making reference to her uterus is not offensive. Just about every woman as one!
DeleteIs her uterus going to help find Ayla? No. So she should not have brought it up and then asked for donations.
ReplyDeleteDo u know for sur Tori has cancer?
ReplyDeleteDonations for a hysterectomy? Now, that's classy. Set up a website under the concern for Ayla, but ask for money to pay yours bills? That is sickening. Shows me that her shady past isn't far behind her.
ReplyDeleteI just had back surgery. Donations welcome. Should I start a website about Ayla to lure people in?
ReplyDeleteThe only sure thing about Tori is her criminal history. That, my friend, has beenverified(.com)....
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't know any better. Some people's kids...*SHAKINGMYHEAD*
ReplyDeleteIf anybody read that blog After a few discussions with both Jeff (Hanson) and LostNMissing, Inc., it has been decided that Ayla's maternal family would prefer that any and all donations be made directly to LostNMissing; however, you all need to know that all donations made at the link provided below will be deposited for all missing children families and not just Ayla Bell's.
ReplyDeleteIf you would like to donate to this organization, please follow this link accordingly: http://www.lostnmissing.com/donate.html. As you will see, there are several options for those interested in donating to their Organization.
If of course you would prefer to make a specific donation directly to Ayla's account, you may do so at the following account and banking institution:
Bring Ayla Home #39091
Cumberland County FCU
101 Gray Rd
Falmouth ME 04105
Phone: 207.878.3441
Again, I want to reiterate that Ayla's maternal family has expressed that donations be made directly to LostNMissing, Inc., however, I felt that it should be noted that there is in fact an account available for direct donations specifically for Ayla. Any and all funds donated to this organization will be put towards their efforts in locating and raising awareness for all missing children registered in their database, which includes Miss Ayla Bell Reynolds (and the events, fundraisers, etc. created in her name).
Read people read. Don't just "read and see" what you want.
"Tori Gifford, I understand that your uterus is falling out"
ReplyDeleteYou might disagree with her, I might disagree with you.
I don't agree with everthing she says or what is posted over there and here and SA, but, WE ARE HUMANS that should have some compassion for ill people, else, what are we ? Persons that post on TMZ ?
