If you required any further proof that Trista Reynolds is a piece of shit, check out this interview. Stunning words from the mother of a missing toddler. I could have chosen a better title, but hey.
The worst part is that there's not a single tear shed, and Trista even appears to be smiling. She has the nerve to sit here and smile while saying she will never see her daughter again. Why is she so sure? Most people need some form of proof before they will accept this; even when they have been told their child is dead (think, Sierra LaMar). Trista should keep talking. I suspect she's going to sweet talk herself into a Maine correctional facility.
Update 1: Trista did this interview an hour earlier according to Jeffrey Manson. Thanks for leaving this in the comments as well!
Update 2: The full interview where Trista makes her "startling admission" is here.
Update 3: Jeffrey, do you stand by your comment that it is blood smeared on her chin?
Two words... "where's Justin?" At least Trista is talking and not hiding. And oh yeah... about that "proof", LE told her there was at least a cup of Ayla's blood in Justin's bedroom. I mean I know people on this page think it's BS due to some kind of weird misplaced loyalty, but to continue to act as though there is no evidence is both reckless and, quite frankly, ignorant.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but if Trista talking yields these types of results, she needs to go into hiding as well.
DeleteThere is no evidence.
Charlie, we don't know what LE told Trista, or in what context it was said. LE hasn't given any of us much to go on. You know how the Bible has all those words in it yet people interpret it differently? It shouldn't be that much of a stretch to see how people could interpret the few words that have been shared by LE differently. It's hard to know what is true when LE has released so little information. For instance, they announced in January that blood was found in the home and that some of it was Ayla's and that they were waiting results on the rest of it. A couple weeks ago Trista said LE had informed her a month before that that some of the blood came back as being her own. No announcement from LE that "some of the blood was not Ayla's." I also find it hard to believe that there was "at least a cup of Ayla's blood in Justin's bedroom" and no one has been arrested. Really? If that's not enough, what more would they need? A video of the crime taking place?
DeleteI don't see how bloggers trying to look at the whole picture is "reckless" or "ignorant" - but, obviously, you're as entitled to your opinion as we all are.
Why would LE not want to confirm what Trista is putting out? That makes no sense either. The information is out there, if LE wanted people to stop speculating and look for a dead body, then they would back Trista up.
DeleteWhy do you think we should believe the words of a liar? Trista is the person who says a cupful. "She said" LE says a cupful. Not anywhere in print or in the news have we seen LE say this. No where have they said a cupful of Ayla's blood was found. Why? Because it was not. And Jeff stop using the words reckless it gives you away every time.
DeleteSo just because you didn't hear it with your own ears, it did not happen and Trista is not reacting to it? So what about all the stuff that Justin is supposedly saying... none of which you have heard directly either because he doesn't speak. That's my point kids, you and I do not know what either one of them is going through, so to make a blanket statement that no mother would act the way she is, and she has no reason to believe Ayla is dead... well that's the part that is ignorant. And "Really", this blogger is not looking into the whole picture. This blogger is looking into one scenario only. All of the bloggers have chosen one side or another based on what they believe to be true, period. This one just happens to seem to have more of a vested interest given some of her comments and topics.
DeleteObscure, that is actually a good question (for a change). It is very interesting that the only time LE comes forward to discredit a statement made, is when that statement comes from one of the Dipietro's. Hmmmm......
DeleteCharlie, I was responding specifically to your comments, which were not about "the whole picture" either. Don't presume to tell me what I think or feel outside of what I expressed... remember that phrase about message vs. messenger? You say "all of the bloggers have chosen one side" - that is not true. I don't claim to KNOW what happened to Ayla, or who/what to believe. I try to sort the facts from the hype/bs. I don't know if Trista or Justin or neither are guilty. What I do know is if I were required for some bizarre reason to leave a child for 30 minutes with anyone on either side it would be Ron Sr.
DeleteCharlie, Upon 2nd read I believe I may have misinterpreted your meaning. I thought you were talking *about* me, not *to* me. I've heard people that comment called "bloggers" also. Yes, the people who maintain blog sites tend toward one side vs the other - this is the only one that is willing to look beyond the one scenario that the others have adopted. As I said, I don't claim to know what happened to Ayla or who is responsible; but, there's only so much time that I can stand being force fed different variations of a man murdering his baby. This is obviously a complex case. Whoever is innocent in this, I am truly sad for what they are going through. The accusations leveled against Justin, his family, and friends are horrific. The things said about Trista pale in comparison. That is another part of why I find talking here to be more palatable.
DeleteAmazingly "charlie" thinks this blogger is "the only one who seems to have a vested interest given her comments and topics".
DeleteThat's very interesting. What, then, do you make of the comments and topics of the other bloggers? Certainly you wouldn't actually be saying that they, by your apparent standard, aren't showing the same bias in reverse? They and their commenters have left no stone unturned in their internet crucifixion of Justin and his family and friends. Do you need me to point you to those blogs and facebook pages so that you may make a fair comparison? It will result in you needing to revise your assertation above. And if you choose to let it stand then you are being disingenuous and we can take that at face value. -yb
Yes, stunning. Realistic? Yes! She believes what most of us believe. The evidence is pretty straight forward. It doesn't make her a bad person.
ReplyDeleteShow me a poll or some shit that says "most" people believe Ayla is dead. Please?
Delete"She believes what most of us believe".
DeleteMost of us, who?
Based on the facts, and I mean *legitiment facts*, I don't know how anyone can even reach a conclusion about what happened to Ayla.
I don't know what anyone else's experience is, but when I ask people who don't follow this case on line what they believe happened to Ayla (without giving my own opinion) about 2/3 of them think she was taken.
DeleteThat is the response I get when talking to people in the real world.
DeleteThere is no evidence. Four drops of blood. You can bleed that much from a bug bite. So what other "evidence" your going to have to enlighten us. What evidence is there that can convince a mom to so easily give up on her child?
DeleteSpace between- my experience is the same. When I speak with people who have watched some of the media coverage and paid only minimal attention if any to the blogs I repeatedly hear that he mother and / or family seem sketchy and they hypothesize involvement from them. Sometimes they believe it to be a stranger abduction and in maybe two instances out of dozens they say they've watched Nancy Grace and it seems like dad or family are behind it. -yb (my point is that they call it "most" because of who they surround themselves with.
DeleteWhen your a mom you never give up until they give you no reason to hope. For most moms that would mean showing them their child's body or irrefutable proof their child is not alive. Neither of those things applies here.
ReplyDeleteSue, have you been in the situation where your child was missing? And if yes, did LE tall you they found her blood? If yes, than I am truly sorry for you having to go through that. If no, then you cannot judge what someone else feels. We do not know what she is going through every day, and we cannot know what Justin is going through every day. I can only believe that Justin also believes (knows) she is dead since he has made no plea to any abductor.
DeleteTwo cases off the top of my head: Natalee Holloway's mom fought against her ex-husband when he went to court to have Natalie declared legally dead 7 years after she disappeared. --- A man has been arrested for kidnapping and murdering Sierra Lamar; her mother says she will not believe it until she's found. (As an aside - SA maintains the mother is guilty. Why wouldn't she jump at the chance to "pin it" on the accused man?)
DeleteI won't even get started about Peeter's junk science. He was wrong in the Lamar case, but I bet he won't admit it or apologize.
DeleteBack to Trista, it has only been 5 months since Ayla disappeared, and nothing points to her being dead. Nothing. Except Trista.
How can you say Justin has never made a plea to a kidnapper? Have you seen his interview where he says “By coming here, it was in hopes of reaching out to the person that does have my daughter to let them know that what they’re doing isn’t right,’’ DiPietro said from Maine in the live interview Monday morning. “You may think what you’re doing is right for Ayla, but it’s not. You have no right. You’re not her parent. She belongs home with her family." http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/45846319/ns/today-today_news/t/dad-missing-toddler-what-you-are-doing-isnt-right/#.T8AYaMWBUcU
DeleteTrista in her first interview said “Just come talk to me,’’ Reynolds responded when asked what she would like to say to DiPietro. “He is the only one who can answer some of my questions. We have a daughter that is missing. We used to be able to get along all the time. Just talk to me. That’s all I want. He was the last one to see her alive. Just talk to me.’’ http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/45814164/ns/today-today_news/t/just-talk-me-mom-missing-maine-tot-begs-dad/#.T8AZUsWBUcU
Now who pleaded with a kidnapper?
Actually, the cup full of blood does points to that. But beyond that, she's probably just chewed up inside from waiting EVREY DAY for Justin to tell her where her daughter is. Waking up every morning not knowing where she is. Seeing the Police do dive searches based on the evidence they found at Violette Ave (yes, that's true). Aside from Justin et al claiming they know she was kidnapped and who has her but the time is not yet right to tell anyone, name one thing that points to her being ALIVE that Trista can hold on to? I bet that would be useful info.
DeleteOnly Trista says it was a cupful of blood. Other than that there is no "evidence" that proves harm to Ayla. Absolutely none. What mother looks for proof that points to their child being alive as a meter to determining giving up hope.
Delete@Sayswho
DeleteJustin has made many pleas to the abductor. He very much believes Ayla is alive. And finds Trista's non belief to be shocking as a parent.
@Says Who
DeleteLE would have to show me a lot more than 4 drops of blood that as has been said over and over all over many blogs probably came from a small cut on the child's foot weeks before. They would have to show me that my child was dead. Sorry but that is what this mom says! I will never ever give up on any of my children with any less. Don't know what kind of mom you are but that is just me.
Obscure, My thoughts exactly. She shows all the physical and mental signs of a meth user. Is she using whenever the stress becomes unbearable. Watch the videos, she can't hide it. She needs to tell the truth, now! Meth makes people mean!
Deletesigned: getrealpeople
Funny, "says who" sounds like cynthia.
DeleteYou know what you know and we know what we know. You say trista is torn up because you talk to her. I'm telling you Justin is torn up because that is what I know. You say it's fine and normal that Trista would ask for closure about how she died so that she can move and get a fresh start sfter 8 weeks. That it's understandable that she calls Ayla dead early on. And that she would declare it likely that she will never see Ayla again within 5 months. I see it as a ploy to get the public to demand a cease to the hope being held out (peeter makes that evidently the goal in his recent letter to Jeffrey) so that she can complete her arduous acting and move on. I see a father and his family distraught and working behind the scenes for ways to locate Ayla despite public opinion. You can tell me I'm wrong but you don't have proof of that. And I can tell you you're wrong. It's my perception based on what I know and what I see. -yb
You seem jealous of Trista. You are such a cruel and deceptive girl. It makes me wonder what sort of trauma you have experienced in your lifetime to have such hatred running through your blood. God bless your soul.
ReplyDeleteIf me "admitting" that I'm jealous of Trista will allow you to move on, then fine. I'm green with envy.
DeleteNow what would that change about ANYTHING I've said? How would that alter the lies that Trista has told? How would that make anyone perceive her lack of concern any differently? What does that do for the FACTS in this case?
Oh obscure. Don't entertain the small minds that accuse you of being sooooo hateful, while they post pictures of a person they say is you & rip her apart based on her looks. Apparently every one of them is a fucking beauty queen, because Charla is a beautiful lady. I don't care is you're Charla or not...what they're doing is worse than anything you've ever done here! Talk about hypocrites. It's straight out of the pits of middle school in the darkest, skankiest hole of humanity. They should all be ashamed.
DeleteI am not seeing it. Who would be jealous of a girl who has so little going for her. No education, alcohol/drug addiction, no home, DHHS on her tail, can not keep a man, no job, lives off the state, a family that has issues of their own and even their support seems conditional, and to top it off her daughter is missing and she looks very suspect. Nope not seeing the jealousy thing for anyone.
DeleteLOL exactly! haha
DeleteThe whole "jealousy" thing is sooo high school.
Michelle, They can't be ashamed of themselves, they are "just venting"; therefore, not their fault. They have no choice about coming here. JSTL is so powerful she makes people act in ways they never would otherwise. Never in a million years would any of those people say things like that, it's just not in their nature, especially those who suggest "ending it." JSTL should stop making good people say bad things.
DeleteMichelle,
DeleteI think it is worse than you describe.
I more than agree.
Wow. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteand even that is an understatement!
DeleteAs a mother I find this disgusting. I am a realistic person and yet I would be one of those mothers who would need to be shown a body to believe that they are dead otherwise I would maintain that as long as they are missing then there is hope, sliver or not.
ReplyDeleteEither trista knows where Ayla is, or she is a mom that shares no bond, at least with Ayla and has therefore MOVED ON.
LucifersHand, That is an excellent statement. Thank you!

That is some title, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteTrista appears to "using", again (IMO). Her eyes, her "hairdo", her gesturing, her deep breaths, and of course her acne.
signed: getrealpeople
How does acne indicate using? I never heard that before.
DeleteMeth heads pick at their faces...yucky
DeleteEvangeline, What Obscure said. Look at the internet pictures of meth users put out by LE.
Deletesigned: getrealpeople
Yep...meth users pick at their faces...Look at the interview pics in the second link that was done an hour before the first. She doesnt have bad acne...the video taken an hour later...she has abused her face with no reason to, as there isnt acne an hour before.
DeleteGiven the benefit of the doubt...nerves...big time.
But knowledge of her using, tips the scale back like a whip.just sayin'
Whats your excuse selena for having a fat figure? Smokes pot and gets the munchies?
DeleteWhy the huge interest in acne or smudge, or scratch on her face, big effing deal.
What MIchelle? You mean "wow, I feel so bad for this woman who is obviously breaking down at the heartache of not knowing where her daughter is for 5 months?" I am sure that is what you must mean, and I agree. I sure cannot imagine how I would react under this situation.Well.... I know I wouldn't be hiding and not asking the supposed "abductor" to bring my daughter home.
ReplyDeleteholy contradiction!
DeleteI can't imagine how I would react, but I know I wouldn't...
Yeah, shutup already.
Yeah, that's what I meant O.o
DeleteWow is right: who says Justin is hiding? What law says that granting on demand interviews is the litmus test for innocence? Talking to the public would have done what exactly? Given you more things to pick apart and statement analyze incorrectly. Given you a high. Given you more blog entries. It would not have given him his daughter back.
DeleteBTW. Trista has another vigil planned for July 14th! WTH!!!
ReplyDeletesigned: getrealpeople
@WowIsRight
ReplyDeleteIs that what you call that? Obviously breaking down? Did we just watch the same video? Because I missed the breaking down part. I also missed the heartache. And she seems to know something about where her daughter is. That is for sure. And you are right about one thing I also would not be not asking a supposed abductor to bring my daughter home like Trista. She has not asked that she just keeps saying that it is not possible. Why not plea for the abductor to bring her home as the dad has done 4-5 times. And who staunchly maintains his daughter is alive and should be looked for.
It's so obvious. Why can't they see it? I honestly don't get it!
Deletenice Kay... you hit that spot on!
DeleteAfter watching the rest of the interview, these "smiles" look to me more like the winces and grimaces of someone trying to hold herself together. Unfortunately, we are unable to gauge the reactions of Justin since he declines interviews, most likely on the advice of counsel.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Eve.
DeleteShe's on something, so I can't comment on what she is saying, feeling, or thinking. Damn, she looks awful.
ReplyDeleteBystander, Her appearance certainly has changed from her last interview! She certainly seems to be on something!!!
Deletesigned: getrealpeople
You may have seen this already. Jeff randomly posted this at J4A. I don't find what he said in the least bit believable. 1. there's 2 dots in the redness and 2. is the news crew just going to record an interview with someone that has accidentally rubbed blood on their face? don't they usually give people they interview a little make-up?
DeleteAnswers For AylaMay 25, 2012 10:24 PM
Trista had a small cut that opened on her hand and she absent mindedly wiped her chin with it during the interview with channel 8..
This interview was an hour earlier..
http://www.necn.com/05/25/12/Remembering-missing-children/landing_newengland.html?blockID=714170&feedID=4206
After looking at the earlier interview, the only conclusion I can draw from that is that she picked at her face in between the two interviews. That does not look like smeared blood, it looks inflamed. Also, I agree, the person interviewing her probably would have have been grossed out and told her to wipe her damn face. Yuck.
DeleteThere has to be a reason Jeff would come up with something like that and post it over there. Some have bought it already. He should start a church.
DeleteYes, of all the things he could have spoken about or corrected, he defends Trista's meth pimples. Hmmm...
DeleteI'm positive that Jeff has it backwards.
DeleteI think the news 8 video was done first.
Sorry, that is not a few drops of blood from her hand.
It's plain that it is a sore or acne on her chin.
I believe the news 8 vidoe came first.
It's plain she has make up covering it in the other video.
Had the video with the make up been done first, it would have still been fairly fresh an hour later in the second video.
That blood on her chin appears to be more than what a small wound would produce......
DeleteIf Jeffy is correct (haha did i just say that?) then what is wrong with her blood, if it causes an inflammatory response when it comes in contact with her skin.
I agree, S. And her hair is also clearly wet in the News 8 video as well, and not as wet in the NECN one.
DeleteSince it seems like most people here have read the how-to guide to grieving, mourning and the like, I was wondering where I can get a copy??
ReplyDeleteAlong those same lines, have you ever noticed that lots of parents of missing children have written books about their experiences?not just one, because if we all felt and reacted the same way they would all have the same story.
I have NO idea, and I just CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE what I would do in her shoes, but I'm pretty sure I would go on camera a number of times & proclaim my child's demise and that I want to move away from Maine & start all over, then I would smile & act like I'm happy, party in the streets of Portland, and spread terrible things about the father of my child. You know, that is if I could even imagine myself in her shoes. Which I can't, so I'm just not going to try.
Delete@anon- how about that. Now he shoe is on the oher foot. I wonder if you recall where hings went in this direction back in december? YOU PEOPLE were ranting and raving about HOW Justin should look / act / sound under he circumstances. You all were the ones wih the book on how to properly grieve. You created a villian and eventually it took hold amongst your RABID ranks. Voila... justStopTheLies was born.
DeleteWhat you speak of in your comment is so exactly what happened to Justin. What are the chances you were complaining about that????..... -yb
Time to stop typing on the iphone. Sorry for all the dropped letters above! -yb
DeleteI think the person who titled this meant "shocking" not stunning. Thesauruses (thesauri?) are your friends.
ReplyDeleteThe news agency titled it stunning; perhaps you should direct your comment there?
DeleteI used the word they used, and said I could have picked a better title...
Thnx
Sorry...it was to them not you, lol. And that was me...your biggest fan.
DeleteNo worries, love. :)
DeleteWinces and grimaces trying to hold herself together? She has shed one or two tears while making much less significant statements. She is NOW (caplocks!) stating she believes her daughter is dead and only has a "wince and a grimace". Maybe she tried to "show" tears (for the public), but just couldn't squeeze them out! Hmmmm.
ReplyDeletesigned: getrealpeople
Trista does not look well. I hope she is okay. I hope her family is giving her the support she needs.
ReplyDeleteTrista is "using" again. The only support she needs is someone urging her to tell LE where Ayla is!!!
Deletesigned: getrealpeople
Evangeline i wouldn't bet on it. Trista has said she wishes she had Justins support network. She has said she wishes his family & friends could be leaned on by her. (Early on some of us personally said she could in fact.) She was left living in a ratty motel for 2 months after her baby girl went missing. Before jeff took her in. She said that her family told her that her breaking down was "not their problem." All true. Now he question is why did she say it? Was it true? Or was her family actually offering support and she was lying to Justin for some reason? -carla
DeleteHahaha...and yes obsure this is stephenie freeman. If i was her, I would believe the same. Blood found in the basement, Justin not speaking. I mean come the fuck on. I still hold hope she is out there, but it is not looking good. I wish Trista took her so at least she would be still be alive. I don't give a shit who did take her, I just want Ayla to be somewhere safe. When and if the truth comes out I will look down upon the person who did it whether it was Justin or Trista. For now I will take no sides and only look at facts. But this post is not fact, it's bullshit. But like I said I don't take any of their sides. Personally I think it is bullshit that people are saying Justin killed and hid Ayla cause I don't think he could do it. But evidence is pointing his way which really sucks for him cause a cut on her foot could have happened, but since it hasn't been stated on the news, no one believes it.
ReplyDeleteStephenie...are you okay?
DeleteApparently Not? I guess I will stop these late night blogging episodes because I believe this is a little bit scattered don't you think. :-p I would rephrase this and type it in a more fashionable manner but I will wait until I have my coffee in the a.m. :-)
DeleteYes, please do that. I was worried, because this post is even more incoherent than usual! Rest well...
DeleteSo what's up with the Meth face, Sober Sista? Drugs..pregnancy..or both will do that to your face. The scary thing is that's THROUGH the makeup, so she was pretty jittery before hand. Jittery, but had no problem saying she'd never see her daughter again, with a calm straight face. What's wrong? Nervous because we see through your shit?
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is that's going into your nose and/or lungs, Just Say No! Drugs are bad, Mmmkay. So is zit squeezing.
Let me just be clear, I did not say that her acne is a result of meth use. I did say that meth is a hell of a drug when someone said her "insides are chewed up."
DeleteAnyway, I love your name. Take a hit, get a zit. LOL
No, I didn't mean it was a result of meth use. Pregnancy can cause acne..but the picking CAN be related to meth. It could be a million things, but by Jeff saying she wiped blood on her chin is what makes it look more suspicious. He could have said 'nerves' and left it at that, but I'm not sure they know how to tell the truth.
Delete
