The statements below are redundant, but each link will take you to a different source.
McCausland called the discovery of the blood "troubling." He declined to
discuss how much blood was found in the basement or how long it might
have been there.

The discovery of the blood, which McCausland termed “troubling,” was
made early in the investigation after Justin DiPietro, Ayla’s father,
called police at 8:51 a.m. Dec. 17 to report his daughter missing.
McCausland called the discovery of the blood “troubling.”
After reading the same thing 6 times, we should all be able to comprehend and understand that the DISCOVERY of the blood was troubling. Not the AMOUNT of blood, not the LOCATION of the blood, and not the SOURCE of the blood.
I'm trying to dumb myself down, but I don't understand how anyone can translate what McCausland actually said into "A troubling amount of blood was found." To do that requires a willful intent to deceive people; to stretch the truth to make the "facts" fit your theory; to outright lie.
Great work obscure. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, JSTL. I've heard it said so many different ways so many times, all attributed to McCausland, that I lost track of what he actually said in amongst it all.
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteBlood is Blood, especially a a baby's blood, a baby named Ayla who disappeared right after her blood was let.
ReplyDeleteSuz...I realize you're not the brightest, but baby blood does NOT equal menstrual blood.
DeleteObscure ..I realize you're not the brightest either, but DNA does not always equal (menstrual) blood. Could have just been body fluids, I'm sure you leak those from time to time .. . .
DeleteTrista said it was her menstrual blood. WTF are you talking about? And no, I don't "leak" anything.
DeleteSSSSTyXXXX:
DeleteYou probably know this already, but I will mention it anyway. It would not matter to the blog owner or the majority of the individuals who comment on here what the amount is of Ayla's blood that was discovered in the basement of her Grandmother Phoebe's home, where it was located, or if there was other forensic evidence found of a crime against Ayla. If le told the public today that they discovered 2 cups of Ayla's blood splattered all over the wall and floor next to Justin's bed, and her bloody outfit stashed in his dresser, they would still try to diminish it and claim that Trista has Ayla stashed somewhere. No matter how compelling the circumstantial and forensic evidence against Justin, there will always be a tiny percentage of people that will defend him. This happens over and over in missing children cases. There was an interesting article written about this occurrence; I can't remember right now what it was called. Anyway, that is just the way it is. Even once Justin and his cohorts are arrested, these people will still keep on defending him. The Danielle VanDam case is an excellent example of this. Even after David Westerfield was tried and convicted, there were websites and blogs supporting him. Just try not to get sucked into the smoke and mirrors. Sincerely.
Please tell me ONE piece of SOLID evidence against Justin that people are overlooking or ignoring? Name JUST ONE thing that people are failing to look at. Please make sure that whatever you quote or link to comes from LAW ENFORCEMENT since you said if they told us something we would ignore it.
DeleteGO AHEAD, I'm waiting for your response.
Tick tock...I'm still waiting too. :) Hmmm.... no response?
DeleteI think that SSSTyXXX already got sucked into the smoke and mirrors,..heavy smoke.
DeletePerhaps subconsciously she knows that, and is fighting her way out, looking for some oxygen. (the real facts)
Apparently McCausland shares more with the Reynolds than with the Newspaper thats all. He probably doesn't share as much with the DiPietros since he said communication is not forthcoming from the DiPietros and communication has broken down. Then Elisha and Phoebes Criminal Lawyer said he and the DiPietros get all their info from the blogs and the Internet. What a funny comment from a Criminal Defense Lawyer (lol)
ReplyDeleteSuz I don't think they do according to Jeff's recent words taken from his blog
DeleteAnswers For AylaMay 7, 2012 9:50 AM
That's where the frustration lies... we have theories and they have facts.
McCausland is the MSP spokesman. I don't believe he's the one that would call & report things to the family, now is he? He is the one to deal with press releases & public statements on behalf of MSP. His words are the ones quoted over & over & over, ad nauseum. Because, really, the MSP have talked less than the DiPietros if you get right down to it. Every article about Ayla says the same token information released in December & January. I don't think they've said anything new in months, except about the clothing found at Hathaway, and that was just to say they're testing it.
DeleteSuz,
Delete"Apparently McCausland shares more with the Reynolds than with the Newspaper"
I wouldn't bet on that Ms Suzy Q
Thank you, Michelle..for stating that to those who might not understand his role. I would assume everyone knew that, but maybe not. Great post really.
DeleteIf McCausland shares more with the Reynolds than the newspaper, why was Trista only told about the blood AFTER it was leaked to the media?
DeleteObscure, I though she was told shortly before it was released to the media, and that she was upset about that because she hadn't had time to digest the information. I might be wrong though
DeleteSally,
DeleteBasicaly that is why she was told, because it had been leaked to the media. She was told the same day it was going to be in print.
How did Ayla shed bloodline her Grandmas house? I missed that one. And why didn't she get taken to a DR?
ReplyDeleteHow does one "shed bloodline" ?
DeleteWhy did she need to go to a DR?
My grandson was at my house this past weekend he jumped off the couch before anyone could get to him and put 4 teeth through his bottom lip So much blood and no we didn't take him to the doctor we cleaned it up(there was quite a bit of blood on the floor, me, and my daughter) and gave him an ice cube in a cloth to suck on. Well that explains how as you say it "shed bloodline" happens in her Grandmas house and she doesn't get taken to the doctor. Also I am in no way saying that is what happened with Ayla. I'm just saying all curious toddlers can get bruises and cuts when they are being watched. We had 5 adult in the room when it happened and no one could get to him fast enough.
DeleteTold you this IAD makes a bunch of typos, I meant Shed blood in her Grandmas house.
ReplyDeleteYou have to be smarter than the equipment you operate.
DeleteSuz
My smartphone keyboard makes it easy to make typos, too. Proofreading is your friend :)
DeleteOT: what is Justin and Courtney doing to find Ayla? Menstrual and cheating made me think of that, I hadn't heard a peep out of Justin and Courtney lately. Just Elisha and Phoebe at the last event.
ReplyDeleteWhat ARE Trista and Jessica and Becca and Ronnie doing?
DeleteObscure, I can't speak for the Reynolds, but many of the people who call themselves Ayla's Angels actually believe she is dead and are already planning for the trial and conviction of people who haven't been charged with a crime. So my answer to your question is that most of them are doing Nothing except a whole lot of talking.
DeleteIf a kid bleeds you usually go for stitches at a DR
ReplyDeleteYou're not serious.
DeleteWill you please get real? Please? Kids get boo-boos. You don't run to the doctor every time they bleed to get stitches. It's time to stop this stupid game of "oh, like, look at Justin. He's so, like, awfulllluh." Because what happened to Ayla under his roof could happen to any toddler, unless you put them in a friggin bubble & become some lame ass helicopter parent.
DeleteMost times a kid bleeds, they don't require stitches. Not one of my brothers or I had stitches as kids. I split my forehead open on a slide at the park, and all they did was patch me up- without stitches. My kids have not needed stitches, and they get boo-boos all the time. If my daughter splits her lip, I'm sure not going to take her to the doctor. In fact, I've never taken them to the doctor for a cut. Kids will be kids. I'm sure you got boo-boos as a child- did you go for stitches every single time?
DeleteSuz
DeleteDo you have kids? I mean really? Kids bleed all the time from "boo boos" And more often than not do not need stitches. A bump to the head, nose or mouth can cause lots of blood. I can not even believe you are trying to argue this. If every parent who's child bled went running to the doctors to see if they needed stitches based on your statement doctors across America would be laughing all the way to the bank.
Have you ever had a skinned knee? Or a bloody nose? Maybe even something more serious like slicing open your foot? I've had all of these and each of them can end up with what looks like a lot of blood. And the only time I've ever had stitches was 29 years ago when I was 3 years old.
DeleteI'm sure that you realize this isn't going to make a difference to those who interpret McCausland's words, or change them, to fit their own theories.
ReplyDeleteYou could offer a hundred links and wouldn't change what some think.
I know. It's worth a try though.
DeleteIronically most of the links had articles with misinformation. Such as, stating that Justin's mother was home that night. 4 out of the six actually say that. Lame ass reporting. Almost all of them also say that Trista has not been ruled out as a suspect. Quoted by McCausland, of course.
DeleteI know reporters are not what they use to be.
DeleteAnother thing is a story is taken from one report by one reporter and repeated over & over.
I've found though that if something is in quotes, it is usually correct.
True. Where's the good reporters who would typically tear Trista's inconsistencies apart?
DeleteI happen to believe semantics is a tactic LE uses while conducting an ongoing investigation. People want to believe everything LE says and use it to their benefit, instead of trying to understand the purpose for why it was said. It's hardly ever used for the benefit of the public, but to persuade the public, and possibly the criminal. The fact that we cannot determine which direction LE is leaning towards, although frustrating, may be a sign of their success in certain aspects. Let's remember though, LE made most of their statements early on in the investigation, when I tend to believe they were betting on results from the lab to prove to be more of Ala's blood. In my opinion, when that blood did not return as Ayla's they became very tight lipped....realizing they had already swayed the public possibly in one direction, and hoping to then keep it that way for a reason. Plus, they owe the public nothing. Remember, they are working this case for Ayla, not you, or I. They are not obligated to make any further statements, or even to clarify their original statements...nor would they in case they were also unsure of which direction this case was going themselves. Either they are sitting in wait for that one slip up, or they truly do not know what happened to Ayla at this point. They are only human. I would hate to think that they refuse to see past their original suspicions that the people in that house don't pass the straight faced test...aka liars. That wouldn't benefit Ayla, but only themselves and their reputation as experts. I think we already have enough evidence to decipher who has been doing the lying here. Expertise aside. Right? So, if the extreme inconsistencies and lies haven't proven anyone else guilty....maybe they need to take a step back and start from the beginning with a new direction. One that points at who really had motive to take Ayla. Because come on, Ayla left that house in someone's arms, and she was breathing....*not* bleeding.
ReplyDeleteYes! I bet LE NEVER imagined that some of the blood was Ayla's, and some of it was TRISTA'S.
DeleteVERY well said. I agree 100%.
DeleteI agree with you Bring Ayla home.
DeleteBring Ayla home - well-written
DeleteJSTL - I agree
Couldnt have said it better,Bring Ayla home.
DeleteGreat post! I specifically like your comments "Remember, they are working this case for Ayla, not you, or I" and "Ayla left that house in someone's arms, and she was breathing...*not* bleeding"
DeleteGood question Obscure
ReplyDeleteNot only did the 'troubling discovery' comment get mistranslated, but it was expanded to include that blood was 'splattered' and found 'near daddy's bed'. One of several reasons I prefer this blog to others is because Obscure looks at the pure facts. This same kind of information distorting is done in discussions on the baby Lisa case as well. Add to that the newbies that join in the discussions with only a little bit of mostly incorrect information, and it drives some of us batty.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I sort of think LE does 'owe' the public some updates. I feel this way because I think it is cruel and unfair to allow the public to hate on people due to believing false information that points to their guilt. If in fact LE feels 99.9% sure the Dips are guilty, then I guess their punishment has already started in the way the public treats them. If they are innocent, then it's a pity that they are living in this hell of hateful public opinion of them.
I happen to think the "punishment" or hate Justin is experiencing is null compared to the pain he feels of his daughter being taken from him and not having any idea of where she is. In the end, when the truth does rise, the haters will still hate...despite their many promises to apologize. They don't matter though, only bringing Ayla home and loving her, as he does, is what matters most. The will and passion to find her rises above the hate people spew. Poor Ayla.
DeleteI agree, Bystander.
DeleteI agree Bystander.
DeleteBring Ayla home, very nicely said..
@ Bring Ayla home
DeleteIndeed. :)
Good point! I hadn't reread the original statement in a while and I forgot how it was phrased. Glad you posted it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the 'cup full' of blood has never been confirmed by LE and as I've read before another good point is that LE doesn't usually define amount of blood in cups - it is usually in pints.
If someone came into my home with luminol they would find evidence of blood being cleaned up - in the kitchen when I sliced my toe, in the living room where my daughter had her first bloody nose, outside on my steps when she cut her head and did need stitches, and in more areas. My daughter is sitting beside me now and I assure you she is fine and only one of those 3 instances involved a doctors care. There would probably be evidence of blood in more places from other events that I don't recall right now.
