Some things that caught my eye:
Reynolds did not respond to a reporter's requests for an interview this week, but she has said that investigators planned to show her evidence that has been gathered over the past year since the child disappeared, along with items that were recovered from the Kennebec River during searches near the Lockwood Dam by state police last spring.I'm not sure I've ever read that about Trista, and she was very vocal about the meeting before it occurred. What changed? Hmmm...It's the consistency factor that stands out to me. Justin has pretty much avoided the media since very early on, but what we're seeing in Trista is a change---this is inconsistent with her previous media strategy.
McCausland, during a press conference last month, described the October meeting as a frank conversation with the paternal family. McCausland on Friday wouldn't characterize the tone of this week's meeting with Reynolds.Why not? He's been very descriptive up until this point, but he can't give a single adjective to describe the meeting? Hmmm....
"We gave her specifics that we felt a mother should know," he said.Yet the specifics that a mother should know were supposedly given to the father, grandmother, and aunt 3 months BEFORE the mother was told? Hmmm...I can't help but wonder what these specific were!?
Your thoughts? I really can't wait to see if Trista talks about this meeting. If she does not, I have a sneaking suspicion it's because the tables have turned on her.
Just my opinion, and I'm just sayin!
"Police spoke in November with Ayla's father, Justin DiPietro; her aunt Elisha DiPietro; and her grandmother Phoebe DiPietro, said Steve McCausland, spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety, during a news conference Friday."
ReplyDeleteVia Portland Press Herald.
If LE told Trista, "What a Mother should Know" That does not indicate to me that the, "Tables have turned" To me it sounds as if they were frank with her as well, giving the best answer that they can as to wheather Ayla is alive or not.
If they gave more exact info pointing to Ayla not being alive then I don't blame her for not wanting to talk with the press at this point. She may need time to absorb this info.
Each time sahe hears that her daughter most likely is not alive brings it right to the forefront again.
If Le told her that they feel there is a possibility that Ayla is alive they may have asked that she not do an interview or statement at this time fearing that who ever has Ayla will to be vigilant in hiding her.
There are always excuses made.
DeleteShe was JUST fine saying that Ayla is dead not even 2 weeks ago, now she needs time to absorb it? She's been saying Ayla is dead since December 2011 or January 2012. For a full YEAR, yet it's still surreal to her? I don't get it.
And FRANKLY, I don't care what it sounds like to you, because McCausland declined to elaborate. You cannot just ASSume that the meeting was frank. It could have been volatile. Pleasant. Unproductive. Beneficial. Boring. Any number of things.
Monkey see, monkey do---eh?
Something stands out to me that oneannon stated in their comment.
Delete"If Le told her that they feel there is a possibility that Ayla is alive they may have asked that she not do an interview or statement at this time fearing that who ever has Ayla will to be vigilant in hiding her."
Why would this apply to Trista but not have applied to Justin all this time? Has this never occurred to anyone else before now that this actually makes sense? Or do things only make sense when applied to Trista? I thought this was about Ayla.
Trista knew what LE was going to say ahead of time in their May press conference and yet she did not need time to absorb the news then. In fact she invited the press into her "living room" to watch her reaction.
DeleteIf my daughter was missing, yes, it would be surreal to me even a year later and beyond. I am not sure why you don't get that.
Delete"To me it sounds as if", this is my guess and yes, I can guess if I want to just as you put words such as, "volatile, pleasant, unproductive" etc.
I have no idea what your silly monkey see monkey do means other than that your immature side sneaks out on occasion.
Oneanon, I agree with you. Great comments!
DeleteThe words, "What a mother should know" sound pretty respectful of Trista, in my opinion.
DeleteHey you get promoted to the barnyard feed a thon. You peck at negativity like a barnyard full of chickens being fed. You wannna know the negativity to this. Chickens often peck anothers shit off of the ground during feeding. I can tell this happens often to you because that seems to be all you can spill out when our mouth or mind is engaged. Ohhhh and that staged picture you have. Please your rehearsed pose is nauseating to say the least. Find a picture of a male model.
DeleteLOL ^
Delete@Anonymous 3:37
DeleteI just have to second Obsure's LOL even though you won't understand why.
Obscure, you say, "Your thoughts?" That's all I was doing. IMO LE could have shared or omitted differant info to each side of the family.
ReplyDeleteExactly. That's why I think it's a bit weird for you to ASSUME what the meeting with Trista was like, despite the FACT that McCausland refused to characterize its tone. Would you have automatically assumed the meeting with Justin and family was frank?
DeleteWell what the heck do you mean when you ask, "Your thoughts ?" Does that mean you wants peoples opinions or not??................."""If LE told Trista, "What a Mother should Know" That does not indicate to me that the, "Tables have turned" To me it sounds as if they were frank with her as well, giving the best answer that they can as to wheather Ayla is alive or not."""""""
DeleteThis is my OPINION. Why is it weird to state my opinion?? Because it is not the same as yours??
When YOU post your thoughts are they not open for discussion?
DeleteYou and I disagree, fine. I'm curious as to why you just ASSUMED that the meeting with Trista was frank.
Care to answer, or do you want to keep pointing out the same pointless thing over and over?
In a case of a missing child I would think LE saying, "What a mother should know" would be an honest and frank conversation. "forthright" ?
DeleteI feel there is a differance in the wording between "assume" and "opinion"
But if you insist on changing my meaning that is your prerogative.
I have no issue with my thoughts being up for discussion.
I'm not sure of the difference...
DeleteI looked up the word frank to be sure and pasted it in the other post.
I'm not sure one could assume anything or form an opinion based on McCausland's refusal to say anything either way.
Semantics. I digress.

ReplyDeleteYour comment posted twice, deleted this one.
DeleteSorry, and thanks. I was trying to figure out if I had used some unwelcomed profanity. lol
DeleteNot at all. Profanity is welcomed to a certain extent ;)
DeleteQuite interesting that Trista didn't respond to a request for an interview. Seems very abnormal for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are several possibilities as to why. Time will tell.
"We gave her specifics that WE FELT a mother should know"
Now that is an interesting phrase.
Is there something she shouldn't know?
I'm going to be honest. My HOPE is that MSP revealed that they don't have the evidence to show that Ayla is deceased.
That there is the possibility that she could have been abducted.
If that is the case, I think I'd find it hard to do an interview if I were Trista, given past statements she's made expressing her belief that Ayla is deceased. Not to mention all she has said about Justin, from the get go.
Good point about Trista not interviewing.
DeleteAlthough my HOPE is that they have her cornered.
Shit in one hand, "Hope" in the other; see which fills first.
DeleteDuring the May press conference McCausland described the interaction with both Trista and Justin during the phone call each received (though Trista denied receiving it and McCausland didn't actually make the call himself). Trista - very grateful... Justin "no reaction." (Really, if the police call to say they think your toddler is deceased are you grateful? or stunned speechless?) Anyway, as he's characterized each before, I was surprised to read that he declined to say even one word to describe the meeting with Trista. Also, as Obscure pointed out, it's odd that she had camera crews in her living room to watch her reaction to that press conference and to interview with them immediately after - but with this meeting that she's been speaking of for months, she declined to be interviewed after. Did they tell her not to say anything?
ReplyDeletethat would probably worry the 3 upstanding, caring, loving people who was always there for Ayla. You know Daddy dearest. Courtney wanna be mommy of two and Auntie E who adored her niece.
DeleteSpace, WTH are you talking about it being a meeting she has been talking about for months, and how the hell do you know Justin was stunned speechless? For such an opinionated person, you really do make alot of ASSumptions. Why dont you ask your fact checker before spewing inaccurrate facts. The meeting was set up less than a week prior only after Trista complained to the media. The prior meeting (scheduled for 19th) that LE cancelled was also no more than a few days after the LE conference on the 14th. In total, there was no more than 3 weeks total. And McCausland didn't say "stunned speechless", he said "no reaction". That is wha I would call an ASSumption. You have no clue what was said, you have no idea of what you are ASSuming, but I will say you have plenty of space between!
DeleteOh are we talking about the "upstanding, caring, loving people who was always there for Ayla?" You forgot daddy Fortier the arsonist, papa Ronnie who's home Trista was not welcome in, Auntie Jessica druggie/lost 3 children to DHHS and a primary caretaker for Ayla, grandma Becca did drugs with her children also a caretaker of Ayla, and last but not least Trista alcohol/drug abuser who was given an ultimatum to get treatment or lose her children. After receiving treatment claims she had no way to go and see her child who she claims she was worried about for 2 months.
DeleteAnd the daddy who did'nt care that his daughter was separated from her Mommy so could not be bothered to drive her for a visit with her Mom.
Deletejoining the anon.
DeleteActually Space is quite correct in saying that Trista has been speaking of meeting with MSP for months.
Trista has been quoted recently in a few different articles saying that she has been waitng for months for MSP to meet with her. To show her pictures of evidence collected from the Dam site, and to update her on the investigation.
Back in Aug. in an article by Yahoo news, she also complained that she has been waiting for MSP to show her the photo's, and be updated. Good ol grandpa Jeff made the same complaint on U4A back in Aug.
So yes, Trista has been saying this for months, some 6 months actually.
Normally I wouldn't say this, but since you were rude, well..
Perhps you should check with your fact checker before making inaacurate statements.
Except that he did. He drove Ayla to Trista to pick up Trista and take her to Ayla's doctors appointment with them. And he invited Trista to his home to visit Ayla when she got out of rehab and didn't have a home. Trista only came once.
DeleteDoes not sound like a daddy who does not care that his daughter was separated from her mommy to me.
Sounds like Trista is not being given any responsibility here per usual. Did she not have friends or family who could give her a ride? Could she not take the bus that went into Waterville? And her fiances family lived in the next town over was there not any who would let her stay with them so she could maybe stay and visit longer? And Trista had no problem finding rides when it came to seeing that fiance. So why couldn't she be bothered is the question to visit her daughter?
joining - it's ironic that you say I'm opinionated when I have formed no opinion about what happened to Ayla, while you clearly have - and you continue to be opinionated by attempting to define me. You have no idea. Capitalizing ASS is so very clever.
DeleteTrista has been talking about LE showing her items from the dam for months. LE met with the DiPietros in October with plans to meet with Trista shortly after, which they cancelled. How can McCausland characterize their reactions when he wasn't the one that made the calls? (If we are to believe Jeff Hanson.) Also, I didn't say as fact that Justin was stunned speechless, I asked whoever was reading if they would be thanking the caller or stunned speechless - which is a logical possibility for "no reaction."
Well space, I did learn from the best I guess. Obscure is where I copied that spelling from. Thank you friend, I am sure she will appreciate.
DeleteAnd S. and space, I am going directly from the words space wrote. After talking of the LE claim to show her the photos for months (as indicated by the -- in your statement) you then say "-- but with this meeting that she's been speaking of for months, she declined to be interviewed after. Did they tell her not to say anything?" The first for words after the break in the comment is "but with this meeting" and you end with "she declined to be interviewed after" both of which indicate to most everyone that space is now talking about the most recent meeting. And by putting "that she's been talking about for months" in between them, tells me outright space was definately talking about the most recent meeting. These are your own words, right space? Sorry but the way you & S. are spinning this is making me dizzy.
"the way you & S. are spinning this is making me dizzy"
DeleteLOL... okay.
You and the rest of your retarded friends have been saying that since December 2011. Isn't it high time you put up or shutup?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Oh, that's not nice. I have been a foster care provider for Mentally handicapped adults and find that word offensive but that's me.
ReplyDeleteTho I can see why you would be upset with annons statement, maybe it's true.
Calling me an idiot wasn't nice either, but you don't hear me crying foul. Perhaps anon is mentally handicapped...and anon's statement is no more true today than it was in December 2011.
ReplyDeleteI see, idiot/retarded , one good turn deserves another. Tho I don't know if Annon, as an individual, said the same thing in Dec. 2011 or not, and I also do not know if what annon says today is untrue.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange to me that one would find the word *retarded* offensive, but not equally offended by the word *idiot*.
ReplyDeleteEven if it was true that LE is ready to move on the people in the house that night, I would think it weird for them to inform Trista beforehand that they are ready to move onto them. LE have been so tight-lipped that I doubt they would inform Trista about that, Trista who would then leak the information to somebody who would then leak it onto the internet, this is not very plausible.
ReplyDeleteS. ~ I did'nt say I was'nt, just picked my least favorite. So no, I guess I was not EQUALLY offended.
ReplyDeleteIdiot
ReplyDeleteusually offensive: a person affected with extreme mental retardation.
retarded:
ReplyDelete1. Often Offensive Affected with mental retardation.
2. Occurring or developing later than desired or expected; delayed.
idiot:
1. A foolish or stupid person.
2. A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
OT,...Sorry Obsure, I just feel the need to address this.
ReplyDeleteJohnP. says;
"And Selena on a personnal note, you stated to me in a comment that calling the ladies that protect Justins arse “shirts” was disrespectful. Well I hate to tell you this, it is no more disrespectful than you calling Ray and Ray Sr. burnboy and grandpa burnboy, so if you don’t like the term “skirt”, all I can say is, tough!"
John, I "S." am not Selena. Either you are mistaken about who I am, or about who made the comment about your use of that term.
I'm not surprised by your mentality though. It's okay for you to be disrespectful, because someone else was??
Obviously you took my comment to heart. Good!
As an administrator of a blog that is suppose to be for and about a missing todler, I would hope that you would want to manifest a respectful attitude. Most especially toward women, who are your primary readers.
The term "skirts" disrespects "all" women, not only the ones whom you choose to disrespect.
John, you're not saying tough to only me, or Selena, you're saying it to "all" women. Your readers, your wife, your daughters, your granddaughters.
Standing up applauding you S.
DeleteWhat can you expect from a sexist alcoholic hick who abuses his wife?
DeleteS - I'm with Looking
Deleteperhaps there's a reason to respect the arsonist and his father that John is aware of and the rest of us are not... Selena called a man "burnboy" who set fire to an apartment building full of sleeping families and left them to their fate. Wow, that was so harsh of her. I can think of several other names that still won't be as harsh as the actual deed.
There is absolutely no comparison between that and calling women "skirts." The only skirt I've seen since this started was on Trista.

Can you cite your source for the spousal abuse and alcoholism?
Well said! It has always offended me when he says that! Its just plain ignorant. And it makes me even more disgusted some of the women on U4A have used it too. They should know better.
DeleteYou know who else uses "skirts" a LOT? Pennyauntie. I always thought it was odd (well, "she" is odd) that a woman would use that term. Now I wonder, is she a he. She/he has always been one to attack me and others, and seems most threatened by any questioning. Could it be someone connected to Trista? Do you know what I am thinking?
DeleteI honestly do not understand how anyone can defend John's use of that term.
DeleteI've said what I felt was necessary. Whatever John takes from it is up to him.
John should find a SKIRT to hide his obnoxiously yellow teeth behind.
DeleteHe should find a SKIRT to choke himself with.
He should find a SKIRT to crawl under and die.
He should find a SKIRT to suffocate with.
He should find a SKIRT to hang himself with.
He should find a SKIRT to use as a parachute, and then jump off the tallest building he can find.
SKIRTS. Rock.
@TT, yes I do know what you are thinking. Just like they try to figure out who is "who" on this blog, it's pretty easy to tell about that blog. JohnP is now Jeff sometimes, other times he is John. I believe that certain female comments often come from Tori. Trista may be "adding" as well. Who really knows?
DeleteAnonymous, I was so focused on who they were attacking and why that I lost sight of questioning who is behind the screen names doing the attacking. You are right.
DeleteHow do you know that JohnP is sometimes Jeff? I saw that Grace alluded to that in her comment, too.
Thanks in advance. :)
If that was as far as things went it would have been bad enough but then the personal attacks started, not only against me but other bloggers on J4A, against Jeff, against Adam Doyon, a FIFTEEN year old boy with a heart of gold, against Cynthia Caron a woman who devotes her life helping families find missing loved ones, against Adam’s mother… People just voicing their opinions on blogs and on facebook were being sent harassing emails, death threats were made. In order to safely follow this case and participate in discussion online, it became imperative for some to create alternate identities. How crazy is that? In order to discuss Ayla’s case and in order to offer support to her maternal family and to ask questions people had to pretend to be someone else in order to keep their families safe!

Thanks Obscure! Of course, I still get emails! So many damning emails. It's hard to pick which one to release next!
DeleteTT...I DO know what you are thinking.
DeletePennyauntie has an agenda to advance. Why? He/she is the one poster that will not tolerate reasonable, objective questions regarding this case. Why? He/she is the first to attack another for coloring outside of the lines that Justin is 100% guilty. Why?
@ I wear short skirts
DeleteDid you even read the article on the other site? I doubt it. You sound like Obscure wishing death on John P? And for what because he used a word he difined on the other site that you didn't read. He posted this definaition for Skirt "1. Avoid or try to avoid fulfilling, answering, or performing (duties, questions, or issues); “she skirted the problem”.
So why wish him dead or to kill himself for using a word you never saw? Are you skirting the issue or what?
oh my we wear skirts. Be prowd. Just because we wear skirts dont make us stupid. Insecurity showing. I am prowd of who and what i am....I can wear skirts and I can wear pants. In truth who gives a crap. As long as you can look yourself in the mirror each and every day and evening.know you have done your very best given all you can and not hurt any innocents along the way...stayed strong in your religious beliefs..that is what counts. If you are secure in your sex and and secure in your beliefs and your standing with God. don't sweat the stupid..and you will will find stupid in this room.......Now Stupid is an insult.
DeleteJoining the anon parade.1/15/13, 2:22 PM
DeleteTT The ignorant Anon is not going to show you the source for the spousal abuse or alcoholism. It does not exist or Obscure would have posted it by now. And your question about Jeff and John P being the same person, Anon wont show you any proof of that, because there isnt any. Ask Kitty and Grace from when they used to talk on J4A and ask Heidi or Justin or someone who knows Jeff. Besides the fact that Jeff hasn't posted a single comment in months so what the hell is this dumbass talking about. You of all people should know better than to fall for that shit.

Just saw this comment.
I was agreeing with the question/statement: "Who really knows?"
I fell/fall for nothing. ;) I DO overlook possibilities.
Lol..prowd...
DeleteSorry..that is funny..you will find stupid on this blog...but poster is prowd....LOL
DeleteAhh no he's not!!! He's saying it to pretty much just Heidi Phoebe Courtney Angela and Elisha..but I would say mostly to Heidi. And who cares if he disrespects her she deserves no respect what so ever.
ReplyDeleteHave you ppl asked Justin or Derek or Heidi what was up with the phone call to Derek before Justin called 911?
Where's the source there was in fact a call that morning to Derek? Trista? Not a reliable source!!!
DeleteHere's the scoop on the Derek call. Trista was told Justin made 3 911 calls. She got to listen to two of them, but not the third. Three is the liars number. I just thought I would throw that in since John/Jeff is now studying SA.
DeleteAnywho, I suspect that Trista was told of the three calls, two to 911 and one previous. She may or may not have been told by police it was to Derek, and we might assume this from the fact that she has stated "sources close to the investigation" where she was trying to intimate that LE had given her the LIP information, so it stands to reason that they were "feeling" her out about her knowledge of the LIP.
So, she starts out by saying all three calls were to 911, because she doesn't want to play the Derek card just yet, she is focusing on Justin.
She realizes now that tactic isn't working, so now she is attacking Derek, Heidi, Elisha and Courtney.
I don't believe Justin hung up on 911 twice. If you hang up once, especially on such a serious call, they call back immediately and tell you not to hang up again, that is procedure, at least in the states I have researched, I stopped at 10.
Hope this helps!
"S" = Angela Selena Heidi Kylie Skirts>>>all the same thing
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me where this "Justin called Derek before calling 911" assertion originates from? I can't find the source.
DeleteTIA!
LOL
DeleteAre my feelings suppose to be hurt?
Quite the contrary!
Mckee...It originated at UFA, through Trista allegedly providing confirmation to John P of a rumor he had been hearing on facebook. Not confirmed anywhere else that I am aware of.
DeleteMcKee, Dee is correct with everything said. But one thing has been missed, and that is that several people (including John P on that site, Dana B on this site, and a few on FB) have challenged Heidi, Selena and/or Derek (all who comment here) to respond to the call. To date there has been no response. And yes I tried to ask on the TLLOM page and I am blocked for asking the wrong questions.
DeleteInteresting...
DeleteNow that you mention it, neither Heidi nor Derek has refuted this claim that Justin called Derek prior to 911.
Thank you for pointing that out...
I would like to play devils advocate here for a minute. I have thought very long on this question. Since it did not come from LE at first I thought I would just blow it off then thought to my self if this is true what could be the reason for him calling Derek before 911.
DeletePlaying off this blog post
Reynolds also responded to reports that DiPietro sent her a text message in the days before Ayla disappeared saying that he was worried someone might take the little girl. Reynolds said that’s a sentiment she has heard from DiPietro numerous times, including long before Ayla went missing. She said she took those statements to mean that he feared she or one of her family members would show up one day to take custody of Ayla.
“Justin thought that a lot,” said Reynolds. “He always thought that I would be the one to take her. I always wondered why he was so scared about that. Now that people are bringing it to my attention, I’m going back and saying, wait a minute. I never went to get her because I thought she was OK and well cared for.”
Suppose Justin had always said he thought Trista would be the one to take her..... Now suppose Justin wakes up to Ayla gone, his first thought is Trista took her. Now the dilemma what does he do, does he call LE and risk getting Trista in trouble or, does he call Trista to see if she has her. Instead maybe he called his best friend for advice. I can see this happening. Of course I do not know for sure if that call even happened and Justin had said he turned over his cell phone and transcripts to LE so they would know for sure and I am sure he was questioned about it if he did call Derek first.
I'll play!
DeleteJust yesterday, over my police scanner, was a call for a missing two-year old. The "reporting party" put toddler down for a nap...toddler was not in her bed two hours later. 911 was summoned, but before LE arrived, the reporting party found the toddler napping in another room.
I strongly believe that if a child goes missing, you call 911 IMMEDIATELY. There is always time later to apologize for jumping-the-gun.
Just my take.
"Instead maybe he called his best friend for advice. I can see this happening."
DeleteIMO, that sounds like a reasonable assumption.
There could be many different reasons why Justin would have called Derek before 911, IF he did. He probably called his mother as well.
Personally, it's not really that big of an issue with me. I don't think it means anything adverse.
If I woke up to find my todler not in her bed, and missing, I'm sure I'd be worse than frantic. I think, because I'm not certain, never having been in those shoes, if she was a 20 month old, I'd check my house, property, and surroundings, first. Not finding her, then, depending on day & time, I'd call my husband at work. Then 911.
Would I call anyone else, besides my husband, before 911? Probably not. However, that might depend on other factors.
I see your point McKee and I am in no way saying that is what happened and if it did it was the right thing to do I just have tossed scenarios around in my mind a few times and that was one of the only reasons I could see it happening. Also when I was tossing around scenarios had to remember we are talking about 23 year old kids. Yes I said kids I have a 23 year old and although mine is very mature I have seen her friends and most are not so mature to be that rational in that kind of situation. I'm in my 40's my first call would be to 911 act first ask questions later but you can see the maturity level in these 2 people just by seeing partial text messages.
DeleteIt is so nice to be able to express an opinion and have someone post a rational response with a different scenario that makes sense and is not insulting.
S and Looking...you're correct...there is no "right" way to respond. I think panic would be my first reaction and I would call 911 after a frantic search of my home. I may call family/friends after 911...not before.
DeleteLooking...I agree. Nice to have civil debate without the attacks.
The police need to clarify that Ayla's blood was not in the basement and that the rumor/information that circulated earlier was not correct.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the police don't have time to clarify every rumor that is started. It would be a never ending job.
Deletethe police work 24/7 it is a never ending job...dir!!! of course they look into everything.
Deleteyou are wrong about the call to derek. it did happen.
Aylas blood was in the house. We already know that. Does it matter if it was in the basement or not?? I think not. Her blood was shed. We know this already.
Where do you get that her blood was not found in the basement and that it is rumor/misinformation? This article states it was confirmed.
Deletehttp://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/The-search-continues.html
Police confirmed weeks ago that Ayla’s blood was found in the partially finished basement that DiPietro uses as his bedroom, but wouldn’t say how much. Police won’t confirm a report on answersforayla.com, a blog maintained by Ayla’s maternal family, that investigators have told them more than a “cup full” of blood was discovered.
Police have never confirmed that a cupful of Ayla's blood was found. That has only been reported by the Reynolds family.
DeleteAnonymous11:04
DeleteLot's of people's blood has been "shed" in my home. Just from normal everyday bumps and bangs, maybe cutting themselves shaving, cutting a finger while chopping veggies, bloody noses too many things over the years to name.
@Anon 11:04
DeleteThat is the key that everyone has missed to this point. For your house it was "over the years". For Ayla it was less than 60 days. Very big difference. And to hear the diversionary comments and minimizing attitudes of these people that are not willing to read really makes me sick.
From the death blog:
ReplyDeleteI think you missed this S.
The site also says that police told the family the amount of blood is “more than a small cut would produce.”
McCausland wouldn’t say how much blood had been discovered at the home.
It was reported Saturday that police found blood in the house at 29 Violette Ave. when they searched it in December.
The family contended on the website that state police shared the discovery with them, but planned to withhold the information from the media.
McCausland said Sunday police had initially decided to withhold information that the blood belongs to Ayla because police need to perform tests on other samples.
“I prefer not to give out partial results, but (the Reynolds) family has released that tonight, and that information is correct,” he said.
.........................
No, I didn't miss that article. Obviously I interpret what McCausland said differently than you.
*McCausland wouldn't say how much blood was found at the home*
It's my understanding that he was referring to the fact that, yes, some of Ayla's blood was found in the home, but he wasn't going to confirm any amounts.
My beliefs from last April are only stronger now.
it's weird that shes choosing not to talk now. I have no opinion either way as to why shes not, but it is weird
ReplyDeleteAccording to LE She was told what they felt a Mother should know. Not what WE all should know.
DeleteThat has never stopped Trista before. I believe that is the point anonymous 3:01 was trying to make. I agree weird.
DeleteWhy doesn't Justin and his family simply go get Ayla in whatever place Trista has her? It's not likely that Trista could afford to keep moving Ayla around from place to place. Does Trista have some fairly affluent relatives who could hide her? They all sound below middle class in income. I'd say Ayla was fairly near the area where Trista lives, or what is the point in Trista taking her: To ship her out to New Mexico or someplace and never see her? I don't understand the inaction of Justin. He obviously knows who took Ayla, but seems hesitant to act on any knowledge.
