As Trista keeps talking, I sense that people will start to pick up on some of the things I've been saying for a long time. Most notably: she's a liar. She wouldn't know the truth if it slapped her in the face.
Can you tell me anything about your suspicion of the family?
"The last time I visited Ayla was at the DiPietro's house and Phoebe, for whatever reason, told me that she has a gun in her house and people keeping constant watch of their home. If this conversation happened, what context was it in? Why not report the entire conversation, as I'm sure no one would just say that out of the blue. I thought it was strange and don't know why she would even tell me such a thing. It is something that has made me nervous since, especially since people in the neighborhood claimed to hear a loud noise in the middle of the night before Ayla was reported missing. As far as we know, one neighbor claims a loud noise woke up her dog. The sound was loud like a gunshot at around 3:00 a.m., on the 16th of December." Again, first time we are hearing about "shots fired." A gunshot is a distinct sound.
"I am worried because I don't know what happened to her. I don't know what they are hiding, and I don't know why he [Justin DiPietro] just won't talk to me or tell me what happened. I think you do know, Trista. Are they going to try to cash out that life insurance policy now that it's believed Ayla is dead?" Is there any indication of this, or is it just something said to hype up the masses? The DiPietros maintain that Ayla is alive, ONLY the Reynolds believe she is dead. Do you have a policy up your sleeve, Trista?
Edit: Also note the timing of the interview. A witness resurfaces saying she/he saw Ayla with Trista after she was reported missing, and what do you know?! Trista pops up with more sensationalized lies...
I remember WAY back when Trista said she couldn't possibly be involved because she was never in the house & didn't know the layout. So-now that it is convenient to say she had an effed up borderline threatening conversation with Phoebe WHILE VISITING AYLA AT THE DIPIETRO HOME, she shows us all that she CAN lie. Imagine that.
ReplyDeleteI won't even address the rest of the verbal diarrhea she spewed. Anyone that believes that bull deserves to be in the "Clan Camp".
I remember when she said that too
DeleteIf there was a gun in that house LE would know it and I am quite sure Trista would have heard about it long before now because according to her she has heard about everything else. And Trista has been the first to tell us anything she thinks she has heard first. So why are we just now hearing this. Interesting this interview is coming out now. Many of Trista's interviews seem to be about deflection. Kind of like everything her and her family are doing. Anything and everything to get the attention off of them from the start and at all times. Story after story. Look at their pattern.
DeleteDisagree with anon 5.6.12 Trista has kept a lot of details to herself. I think she's telling more now because she's frustrated at the lack of results in the investigation.
Delete@Maybe
DeleteLOL Darn it I just spit my coffee all over my computer. That is too funny. Trista has kept a lot of details to herself? Like what? She has told the world everything. Right down to her sex life details and menstrual cycle details.
Gunshot at 3am and only one person heard it... Seriously?

Delete"Aired December 19, 2011 - 20:00 ET"
TIRSTA REYNOLDS: The night that my daughter went missing, I was at the Maine motel in South Portland.
GRACE: And you have fully cooperated with police, is that true?
TIRSTA REYNOLDS: Fully cooperated. And Nancy, there`s one thing I want to clear up with you.
GRACE: OK.
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.
Sure Trista, Justin shot his daughter (in the stomach, as John P. says). Why did it take you so long to tell us about the gun? You read everything on the internet, but you're not to quick with coming up with answers are you?
Yeah, let's look at statistics, as YOU people love to do. How many parents shoot their 18 month old children?
@maybe: "she's telling more now because she's frustrated at the lack of results in the investigation." Really? This is about her daughter, why would she wait to speak up?
signed: getrealpeople
I don't think this "interview" should be looked at too closely. The blogger/interviewer admits to paraphrasing and tyoing quotes from memory I'm sure that this is the gist of it, but its really too hard to tell what are Trista's words (and the way she worded them) and what is just as close as the interviewer coukd remember.
ReplyDelete^^^^ hee,hee,hee. I love this. Yes, Stan the man. While I agree Chelsea H is a moron, not a legitimate "writer" or "journalist" of any kind, it's still a more TAKE AT FACE VALUE interview from Trista than anything that was taken *at face value* as 1st person fact, off of that website of Justins friends cousin. You know, the one where the writer of it never claimed any inside details, and was just relaying her understanding of the mornings events... everyone took off runniing with every hint of a fact in 3,000 directions. The presumptions from that continue on till this day... though none of it was framed as 1st person fact, and it was certainly not an interview. So, let's just remember that what's good for the gander is good for the goose. Luckily this is an actual interview, done for the purpose of disseminating new Trista-facts into the atmosphere. So we get to take her words right at face value. She wasn't speaking through anyone.
DeleteSo, funny how today, after 5 and a half months, the shutting of the car door sound that we all know about has jumped the page, and unveiled a new identity. Now that sound was a gunshot!
Trista, why would Phoebe who hardly knew you at all have been having such a conversation with you? -b-t-c.
Anon, hard to say from the CH write-up but maybe they were discussing how Justin had told Trista he feared someone would take Ayla. Maybe Phoebe was trying to indicate the house was safe for Ayla because they had a gun to protect her/themselves? Or maybe Phoebe wanted to scare Trista so she wouldn't cross lines they didn't want her to cross? Really hard to guess but lots of possibilities.
Delete@anonymous, who says...
Delete'... the shutting of the car door sound..., ... sound was a gunshot!'
Or, it was a car backfire caused by a dirty spark plug.

Thoughts on Chelsea's initial points:
ReplyDelete1. "Trista Reynolds was literally the last person to know that Ayla was missing. On the morning of Dec. 17, 2011, Justin DiPietro reported the child missing at around 8:30 a.m., but it wasn't until nearly noon that day that Trista found out about the disappearance of her 20-month old daughter."
Trista is not literally the last person who knew as there are still people who don't know. This statement appearing where it does suggests the onus was on Justin to inform her immediately. I believe it's been said Justin didn't always know how to reach her, and in fact it took her own family 2 1/2 hours to reach her by phone when they found out. When the family told police where Trista was (if they did tell), the police should have been looking for that car to pull it over, not waiting for her to come to them.
2. "She was told by police that Justin DiPietro had barricaded himself in the bathroom of his home on the morning that he reported baby Ayla missing."
Is this suggesting he was hiding from the police? If true, maybe he was having a breakdown or feeling sick. Clearly they were there and weren't going to go anywhere. Did they have to talk him out of the bathroom, or did he come out on his own? geez
3. She last spoke to Ayla on December 8, 2011 but the last time she physically saw the child was on Nov. 21st.
Something we've heard many, many times.
4. Justin DiPietro had once told Trista Reynolds that he didn't want the two of them to be parents.
?? Umm, he didn't want Trista to be a mother?
As far as the 3 AM "gunshot" sound on the 17th, I can't believe there's any way someone was shot in that house at that time and 6 hours later the police are there going through things. They would never have gotten all the human matter cleaned up. Further, things would be obviously wet and smell of cleaning solution.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Phoebe said the statement about the gun and the house being watched or not, or if so in what context. If it was said, perhaps Phoebe was insinuating that Trista shouldn't have any of her known associates coming to the house to try to cause trouble. Further, even if she did say there was a gun there, doesn't mean there was.
She said 3am on December 16th, not 17th.
DeleteThen she made a mistake,after 12 it was the 17th.
DeleteA Welcome to Number Two
ReplyDeleteTrista speak is right.
Was there a loud noice reported by neighbors at *3 a.m. on Dec. 16th*?
How does that even apply to Ayla's disappearance?
Doesn't Trisdta know the date Ayla was reported missing?
As to the rest of the interview I may have more patience later.
Yes the neighbor reported a loud noise at 3am.Their comment was in the MS.But they didnt say what the noise sounded like,Maybe LE told Trista?
Deleteummm, My point was the loud noise was not NOT heard at *3 a.m. on Dec 16th*. I don't know if it was Trista's or Chelsea's mistake.
DeleteFor pete sake, if you can't get that right, what else have you got wrtong.
The neighbor reported hearing a car door slamming.
DeleteAnd S. you are correct it was not heard on Dec 16th at 3 am it was 3 am on Dec 17th the noise was reported. The night that Ayla went missing. And it was the sound of a car door slamming they said they thought they heard.
DeleteTrista LIES - agreed... but we also know the statement that she couldn't lie came from someone else who does... and some people seem to not see that, no matter how blatant it is, and continue to take what they say as absolute truth.
ReplyDeletePhoebe lied on CNN and admitted it to the same reporter the next morning. It's brought up repeatedly as a testimony to her character. Trista lied on Nancy Grace and her friend Amanda lied on some other news interview, both saying that Trista was in Portland when Ayla disappeared. Amanda further stated, what we've heard a lot of since then, that Trista doesn't drive, she has no way to go places, etc. Then a month or two ago Trista, through Jeff, said she was on her way to Machiasport when Ayla went missing. It's interesting that story never made it on the news.
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with whether or not Trista lied, just adding to your post...As far as the stuff about Trista being in Portland vs. Machiasport at the time that Ayla went missing, from what I understand from different accounts, Trista was in Portland the night/morning that Ayla is believed to have gone missing. Later in the morning on the day that police were notified of Ayla's dissapearance, Trista was a passenger in the father of her boyfriend Ray's car, on her way to visit him in jail in Machiasport. It was reported that Trista had her phone on vibrate, and was sleeping in the car, and only after the phone had gone off repeatedly, did the boyfriends dad who was driving her wake her up and tell her that someone must be trying to reach her. This may or may not be the truth about her whereabouts, but this is what was reported at the time. Hope this is helpful. -E
DeleteActually it has been reported that the neighbor did state what they said the sound sounded like. The neighbor stated it sounded like a car door slamming. Check the facts.
DeleteAnon (-E) - thank you for your comment. If Ayla was checked at 10pm on the 16th and was later taken from the home, it's most likely that would have been on the 17th. It's a very long drive from Portland to Machiasport, and it's typically on a route that goes through Waterville. If Trista hadn't seen Ayla since November 21st and hadn't talked to her since December 8th and filed papers on the 15th, it seems reasonable to me that she would try to stop by the house to check on her baby on the way through. I don't KNOW that happened, it just seems reasonable.
DeleteAs for the different accounts we heard, we first heard that Trista and Robert went back to Portland through Waterville so Trista could go to the station with her father. After that we heard that Robert took Trista to the police station after the call. I don't know why the police wouldn't have looked to pull over the vehicle instead of waiting for her to come to them. Did they search the vehicle she was in? I don't know that either. I'm not saying I know Trista took Ayla; however, I find it a bizarre coincidence - and I wonder if LE did all they could to investigate that angle at the time.
Then reading that Justin was in the bathroom when LE arrived - that kind of stayed on my mind all day, why was that? Was he flushing something (weed or whatever, I don't know what he does) that he remembered having before the police came. If so, that tells me he did not know in advance he would be calling the police when he did. It suggests to me that he did not know Ayla was missing until he got up.
Interesting. Particularly this: "Of course I am paraphrasing some of her quotes, but these were her words nonetheless." So, which is it, paraphrasing, or her actual words? You put quotes, so it makes it seem like you're putting what she actually said. There's quite a difference. If you're praphrasing, don't put quotes...because it, well, isn't a quote.
ReplyDeleteAnd this: "She is rightfully worried about this life insurance policy, because it certainly seems like this was a motive leading to the kid's disappearance. They never even opened up a bank account for the kid as they claimed to be doing!" The kid? Her name is Ayla.
I've come to really dislike interviewers who show bias & insert their "all-knowing" opinion & attitude.
Only the Reynolds believe that she is dead? And you forgot LE,Highly unlikely that she is alive,sure sounds like they are saying they believe she is dead too.
ReplyDeleteThere is a big difference between LE who is not this child parent saying that after months of searching the chances are much less likely of finding a child alive. And the parent stating they believe their child IS dead. They have NO hope. WTH!
DeleteWhy wont Trista speak out in the mainstream media? I am sure Nancy Grace would love to have her.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin.....
Pull your head out, Grace...

Last I knew, Nancy Grace IS mainstream media....and so is "Good Morning, America"......just sayin...
I can't find the link at the moment, but I remember Trista saying she had been to the DiPietro home in one of the early interviews, that she'd "seen where Ayla slept" or words to that effect. If I can find the link, I will post it. I agree that the write up of this interview is very confusing. There are quotation marks used where it looks more likely it was interpreted, summarized, whatever and not directly quoted.
ReplyDeleteObscure you asked on the earlier thread why I had never made a similar comment on the who's who blog wars at J4A. I did mention a couple of times that the only way to win one of these blog wars was not to engage because getting a rise was the obvious pay off. I do feel like a hypocrite in that I've been thinking these blogs have deteriorated into a cheap entertainment yet I have kept looking in to see what kind of wild crap has been said last. I've never made it a secret that I think the police know what they're doing, and I believe they have thoroughly investigated the Reynolds, but I have also tried not to come across as saying I KNOW what happened when I don't. I've been accused of being Heidi for commenting that if foul play did occur, I don't think it was premeditated and also for saying the LIP motive didn't seem logical to me. I've followed a few other cases before but only in the tightly moderated atmosphere of websleuths so I admit to being surprised by (and way too interested in) all the wild speculation, personal attacks, rudeness and general drama coming from segments in both "camps". I read here as well as J4A, because I like to see both perspectives and for the bits of pertinent information that do surface.
I don't KNOW what happened either, Eve... but I don't believe for a second the premeditated, life insurance, multi-person heinous crime scenario. My hope is that Ayla is alive. Therefore, I find it much more comfortable to read and comment here.
DeleteEve,
DeleteYou're correct, Trista visited Ayla at the DiPietro home on Nov. 3rd, according to her.
Don't have the link though.
@Eve "I've followed a few other cases before but only in the tightly moderated atmosphere of websleuths"
ReplyDeleteLOL. Yes, a group of Kits and Vt.Ladies playing the broken records and trying to see how many 'thanks' they can get.
Here is my thought for the day. I have nothing to do with this case, I am not a "blogger" in fact it is shocking that I am even commenting. I do however follow this case. I will say this, THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE TO REMOVE THE CHILDREN FROM ELISHA & COURTNEY! That probable cause has to do with their lifestyle choices and the continued lack of judgment with their current choices. No good mother would be associated with Justin DiPitro at this point unless he CAN be proven innocent. And even then a good mother would use EXTREME CAUTION. If these two women dont choose to stay away it is 100% because not only are they involved but they are guilty of something. Anyone who believes anything different than this does not have common sense whatsoever and I would hope they themselves do not have children. I myself will continue to file complaints with DHS, State of Maine, the Congressman, whatever it takes to have the two innocent children removed from this home. Their lives are not something to risk by allowing them to stay in this home, it is not a chance worth taking. These blogs are not doing anything to bring home or to a grave to rest. Nothing. The childish bickering and back and forth are a clear indication that this is EXACTLY why these people should not have children. If you have been innocently standing for Ayla as I have and have given your input here and there dont take offense to this, it does not apply to you. It is time to save the lives of the two children that we know are still alive.

Kristi, I understand your frustration, but this is America. He is not required to prove his innocence. He IS innocent until proven guilty in a bonafide court of law - not social media, not a kangaroo court.
I get a strange visual of you walking up and down every road, shaking your finger at each house, looking for a reason to remove children from the homes of strangers - lawn is too overgrown, last year's bike, dog has flea collar, mailbox wrong color, ...
It really can be that way if the law of the land required it.

DeleteKristi, i believe there is more than probable cause to remove little Ray from Trista's custody.
Deletei think she is twisted in the head, illiterate, off her meds and abusing pharmaceuticals. Trista is a very creepy 'mom'.
she can not support her child or give him a half decent childhood, he would be soo much better off with a family who is happy, secure, mentally competant and sober!
why does she even use a pacifier? what a lazy mom she is always plopped on the brown couch.
Trista is still unemployed and mooching off her family..she will eventually move back into section 8 housing or with her next creepy criminal bf...little Ray could live with a happy family and have a backyard instead of a parking lot of whores and junkies for neighbors!
if any babies should be 'removed' please start with Twisted Sistah's!
