Why does Trista not want people to know what Ayla would look like now? Should the age
progression photo be a big deal to her, considering she has said numerous times that Ayla is dead? How can she say what Ayla would look like now? What kind of issues will there be? If someone sends me the picture, I'll gladly post it. Trista can take her threats and shove them. What does "in respect" mean? Should we disregard her choices as a parent and simply respect her because she's Ayla's mom? I don't think any self-respecting person would use the word respect to describe what they have for Trista...JMO...
Is she going to react like that when LE wants to release the age progression? I know they usually wait 18 months or so, but releasing the picture now doesn't hurt anything. It's almost the same as TRISTA herself releasing pictures of Ayla as a baby. They don't help or hurt anything. I'm befuckled about this whole issue, I can't see
why it's an issue. Wow.
Trista is guilty as sin. Of what, I don't know yet. But she can't hide forever.

I really don't know what could be so upsetting about a photo of what Ayla may look like at this time? Doesn't she want her found? Something seems strange about this. Just saying. Time will tell I guess.
ReplyDeleteI do know from facebook groups, people messaged and emailed Trista multiple times before they released the photo asking her. she chose not to answer. The picture is nothing more than Ayla with longer hair and pony tails. Why would Trista not want people to be looking for a child that may look like Ayla a little older.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I would pass this message along. The paternal side of the family has given us their permission however for age progression photos to be used.
ReplyDeleteThank you. With that said, I have added the age progression photo. It's not the best quality picture, but it works.
DeleteHow can Trista say that is not what Ayla would look like? It's the same angelic face, with a few more teeth and pigtails...
Thank you heidi. As i commented in justice she isn't the only parent. Also tori has opened justice back up to all who would like to comment.
DeleteThank you for posting the picture. If you would like the entire flyer I will send it. I'm also probably going to re-post it. I'm not a professional, but I work with Photoshop a lot, and I made sure to keep as much of Ayla's original features as possible. That is her face and her teeth. I had some trouble blending the hair around the face, but when I was done, it made me teary-eyed. I can see Ayla looking like this, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. It took me about a week to figure out whether or not I wanted to post it, but finally I realized that it doesn't matter how it makes anyone feel, all that matters is Ayla, and she really may be out there alive. Now that I've heard that the paternal family is okay with it, and that some members of the maternal family/circle of friends are, I'm re-posting it. I'll catch hell (also for commenting here), but I think that Ayla is more than worth it.
DeleteMy email is juststopthelies @ yahoo...
DeleteYou can send a full flyer, I will post it on the Ayla! page.
I catch hell all the time. It's not that bad. ;)
Thanks for doing this for Ayla MW. Great job.
DeleteThanks Heidi??? So nice of you to mess with the emotions of a grieving mother who in Obscures own words is led to believe her daughter is deceased. You can do this to her but you can't answer any other questions about your sons involement in Ayla's disappearance. You and Obscure are both heartless bitches, if neither of you can understand how this mother would be brokenhearted if she was told by LE that her daughter is dead, and then saw this flyer.
DeleteThank you, Lisa. I've always tried my best to be objective in this case, although I have occasionally let my anger cloud my vision. I'm done with that now, and have been for some time. I just haven't been very vocal about it until now. The fact that there are "sides" makes it hard to be accepted by the main groups when you won't pick a side. I was banned early on from TLLOM earl on for some reason and it's still in effect. If it weren't for that, I would have shared the flyer there as well, or asked if it could be shared.
DeleteHeidi, how about this, instead of torturing a mother who was told by LE that her daughter is likely dead, how about you tell us if your son got that phone call from Justin before Justin called 911? Tell us something relevant to Aylas "kidnapping" instead of torturing the mother of the little girl you claim to love so much. You are so sorry that you protect your son and his BFF but wont answer anything important to finding this little girl.
Deleteanon parade said..
Delete"but wont answer anything important to finding this little girl"
Can you tell me how it would help find Ayla to know if Justin made a call to Derek before 911?
Sorry to be OT Obscure, but this is starting to bother me.
DeleteEveryone knows my stance on Justin DiPietro. There is no way in god's green earth that Derek was in on the murder plot. If he were, he would be the last person Justin would contact. The only person Justin did not contact was Trista Reynolds.
I have a BFF from childhood, much like Justin and Derek. If I thought my ex (or in Justin's case the baby-mama) had stolen my kid and I was going to have to call the police about it, I would call her first, and tell her to get her butt over and help me.
Derek knew nothing about the murder plot. There is nothing he can do about it now. He either stands by his friend, or he turns him in. The fact that he is still standing by him speaks volumes, IMO. If he thought Justin were guilty he would be like most of Justin's friends and family, silent as the sunset.
Which brings me to another topic discussed lately. Justin's drug use. No one has come out to say he has, and no one has come out to say he hasn't. Kind of like his "jobs". He supposedly has them, has had them, even more than one, but no one is proud enough to say, "Yes, he works for me, and he is a damn fine worker too." I wonder why that is? It's not like there aren't enough venues to spout on!
S.
DeleteIt is two seperate questions or did you miss that. If you tie together that is fine, it was not worded that waay. Heidi wants you to believe a kidnapping took place even though all of LE denies it happened. Ask her to tell us something relevant to that.
The second question is because Heidi essentially went into hiding after Trista released the phone call info. Then she comes out to torture Trista after she is told why LE thinks Ayla is dead. Why come out now and still say nothing about why she had been so quiet?
I do not get how any of you here can accept that not one comment or post was placed on this blog about how gret the fliers are, about encouraging people to post and print them, about asking people to share them, but then when Trista speaks out, both Obscure and Heidi jump in to torture her emotions and now all of a sudden Trista is the supposedly the mother from hell again. I feel for each of you that cannot see through the shit storm of Heidi and Obscure for what it is.
Marlena, your heart is in the right place for Ayla. I hope you continue your fliers for Ayla. But please see this bullshit blog post for what it is, attention to the blog owner and a smoke screen for the mother of a man implicated in the disappearance of this little girl.
Well S. Selena I would think If Justina call Derek before 911 that would be very suspicious. . . don't you think ????
DeleteHeidi commented on this one because she is happy to find something that will hurt Trista more.
DeleteI am here and have been all along. If I have something of relevance to add I will. I felt it was relevant to let people know that this TLLOM had been given permission by the paternal family to use age progressed photos so that there wouldn't be any confusion. As far as Trista and her choices or beliefs they are hers. They don't reflect my beliefs. And I believe they don't reflect many other people's belief either. If that makes people angry that I choose to believe that Ayla is still alive then so be it. I am okay with that. And if the paternal family wants to support other people in continuing to look for Ayla I believe that is their right just like it is Trista's right to believe what she wants to believe. And I am not anyone's spokesperson I only speak for myself. Same as everyone else here I assume? And I care about Ayla being found the same as anyone else. But I am not her parent and met her only a few times that does not qualify me to "love her so much". That covers anything I have to say of relevance.
DeleteAnon parade,
DeleteI too think it is a very good posibility that Ayla was abducted.
My feelings about that has nothing to do with Heidi, or anything she has or has not said. Nor anything Obscure has said or posted.
If Heidi did have relevent information about Ayla being abducted I would hope that she would NOT share that on the internet, only with LE.
Do you really want to talk about torturing people's emotions?
I could write a 2 page comment concerning that, begining with Heidi, and going down a long list. I'll spare you, because you know the list.
Smart ass anon @ 7:15 a.m.
No.
Heidi,
DeleteI would like to tell you that I very much admire your tenacity. Along with your ability to respond in a calm manner with all the crap that has been flung at you and your family.
Thank you for all you have done for Ayla, and the DiPietro family.
Also thanks to TLLOM.
Big surprise Heidi, defend yourself and your comments. Avoid answering either question.
DeleteDid Derek get the call?
What proof do you know that LE has not told us that a kidnapping happened?
I guess I can stop wasting my time thinking you would answer either of these questions. I am wasting my time asking you for information about Ayla's disappearance.
anon parade
DeleteI suggest you ask Trista about the phone call. As I understand it she was the person who released this information correct? Same as she has released much information in this case. So I will tell you what LE does. I am not here to confirm or deny Trista's claims. Ask her the answers to your questions. If she is the source than she has the answers to the story I would assume. I for one would be interested to hear what her story is.
And I don't really understand your question "what proof do you know that LE has not told us that a kidnapping happened?"
But yes as to your last question you can stop wasting your time asking me for information about Ayla's disappearance. I don't know who took her. If I did LE would be the first people I called not you.
Thank you S.
DeleteNew favorite word: befuckled. Thank you. And I agree. Something is not right. Why on earth would she not want that shared, and how can she say she wouldn't look like that? It really looks just like she did in December 2011, just with more hair (which she'd obviously have now) and a little of the baby fat off her cheeks.
ReplyDeletelol you're welcome.

ReplyDeleteI did close J4A back up because I was asked to protect the privacy of some who comment there although we have never denied any requests to join and I still will not.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the age progression photos, I don't see what the big deal is. If Ayla is alive she certainly is not going to look like she did when she was 18 months old so in my opinion and in my opinion ONLY I think that age progression photos would be an asset to an investigation into a missing child case. Trista not approving them befuddles me especially since she has not really shown much interest in any other pictures floating around out there
Tori, if they were professionally produced age-progression photos they might be helpful in this case. The same drama occurred in the Kyron Horman case; a few Terri Horman, (Kyron's stepmother), supporters took it upon themselves to produce age-progression photographs and fliers of Kyron. Kyron's mother especially was very upset about it. When the actual age-progression photographs were done--in consultation with Kyron's parents and using pictures of Kyron's parents at a similar age for comparison purposes--the official photographs were totally different from the unofficial photos. I feel for Trista, and if I was in her situation I would not feel comfortable at all with non-professionals doing age-progressed photos of my missing child. I personally believe that such matters are better left up to professionals. I also sincerely hope that Trista--regardless of what you personally feel about her--is not reading all of the nasty posts and comments on here directed her way.
DeleteAnon...I have to agree with you here. I think it would be different with professionally done pictures. No offence to the producer of the photo but while well intended, it is obviously an amateur job. Professionals know how faces change, hair colors tend to change in kids, the additional teeth change the shape of the mouth and jaw slightly.
DeleteI haven't seen Trista say anywhere that people can't make their own posters of Ayla. This message was directed to Cynthia alone. She is asking the organization she works directly with to not use an amateurish age progressed picture of Ayla. She didn't put that message out to the public. I'm certainly not Trista's #1 fan and I see plenty she HAS done wrong but with this particular topic I don't see anything wrong and I don't get all the hub bub about it. I think it's just stirring the pot.
I agree Dee and Anon 3:32. That photo is bizarre though it may have been created with good intentions. I can't imagine Ayla looking that way at this time based on her looks at 20 months. Why not ask police for professional age regressed photos instead of potentially confusing and/or offending with amateur ones? It's a small point but why add a shirt with a message? If Ayla were really kidnapped, she most likely would not be smiling/happy or wearing a shirt referencing her brother.
DeleteI have no problem with them being done professionally if she does not want amateur ones done but in the meantime before the professional ones are done what harm are the amateur ones doing? I stated this in J4A and will say it here and I am sure I will also catch hell for it but in my opinion she either doesn't want them out there because she has accepted the fact that Ayla is no longer alive and is moving on in which case she should stop using the resources of LMN so that they can be used for missing children who can still be reunited with their families. She stated in her response she KNOWS Ayla would not look like the picture MW did, how can she know that for fact unless Ayla is alive and she has seen her and she does not look like that or Trista just wants control of all things Ayla because Ayla is hers which is fine but a little condescending to the people who have spent the last year using their time and money trying to find Trista's daughter. Just my opinion, I am not bashing Trista or saying she is guilty nor am I siding with Justin. I think that a year has gone by with no answers and we are all doing Ayla an injustice if we don't take a step back and look at all sides of the coin.
DeleteI agree, that while the attempt to make an "age progression" photo of Ayla came from the right place (heart), it's not exactly how a true age progression photo is done. It's ok, but a real age progression photo would be helpful, especially if Ayla is alive out there with someone. - KJ
DeleteTori, as I already stated, the same thing happened in the Kyron Horman case regarding unprofessional age-progressed pictures being done. In my opinion, it is ridiculous for you to conclude that Trista doesn't want amateur photos of Ayla distributed because she has accepted that her child is no longer alive. Just as Desiree and Kaine don't feel that way about their son, Kyron although they vehemently opposed the amateur photos that were being distributed online and on fliers. Also, is it any of your business whether or not Trista Reynolds continues to work with LNM or not? Regarding Trista's belief that Ayla would not look like the amateur age-progressed picture--she could have a very good idea what Ayla would look like at three years old based on her own childhood pictures as well as pictures that she may have seen of Justin at the same age. In my opinion, (since you have stated your opinions), I feel that you are making this a personal thing between you and Trista because she doesn't want you involved in her daughter, Ayla's case at all. If you aren't bashing Trista, you would not be on this blog discussing Trista like you continue to do. For the record--I do not know anyone involved in this case. These are my personal beliefs from an outsider looking in.
DeleteI guess it will be very telling then to see how Trista feels about any age progression photos done? Because they will be done. So I suppose we will see if it is just that she was upset by the fact that this particular one didn't look just the way she believes Ayla may look at this age now. Or that is was not done by a professional.
DeleteI never thought I would say this but I agree with Tori. You show some insight here Tori and perhaps it comes from having spent some time in Tristas presence I don't know. But it makes no sense other than Trista perhaps simply doesn't want the age progressed pictures released at all. And that is strange to many people.
I find it interesting that people think it is strange that Justin doesn't speak for Ayla. But not strange that Trista's speaking for her often leads people from possibly finding her. How do people not see this?
Thank you Anon, I have been told I have a personal vendetta against Trista because she said she didn't want me to have anything to do with her daughter, the next day I was practically begged by Jeff to continue on the blog so if I wanted to continue on U4A, Trista certainly had no say over that, I am the registered blog owner and copyright holder to this day even though I have been stripped of my admin privileges. My feelings aren't because I have a personal vendetta but more because when this all happened, I was contacted by some close to Trista who shared with me her appalling behavior regarding many things and revealed lies she has told. I kept quiet knowing that if I spoke out many on U4A would no longer want anything to do with me, I came back, spoke my mind and that did happen but so be it. I have now focused my efforts on bringing awareness to other kids who need justice and also am starting a new blog about Ayla with Katie H. who is a proud member of TTLOM and has always been able to debate respectfully with me, we are hoping that this new blog will allow all sides to discuss the case and all facets of it without having to choose what parent they support and be shunned for their opinions.
DeleteI have to say I was pretty surprised to see the change in atmosphere here and find it the only blog open right now that allows people to speak freely on their opinions in a respectful and civil manner. It was quite refreshing to see and i appreciate being welcomed here.
Lies we already know about or other lies?
DeleteI am not sure if they have come to light now or not. Trista was using after Ayla went missing and well into the investigation. Her boyfriend is a low level coke dealer, or should I say was since I don't know if he still is. She lied about the press conference, she also was not truthful in how Ayla ended up with Justin and her lack of interest in getting her back until it was too late. Obscure has outed many of her lies and although I don't think she lied because she is guilty or had anything to do with Ayla's disappearance, I think she lied because she cared more about the public's perception of her and viewing her as a good mother than she cared about telling the truth for the sake of Ayla.
DeleteThank you Tori
DeleteUnfortunately I think that Trista lies is the point and has been all along. And if you lie about one thing what else will you lie about? And second point you kind of hit on , I think Trista cares more about herself and how others view her. And we have all gotten to see publicly how Trista acts while on her "best behavior" leads one to wonder how she might behave normally.
Tori says, "I am not sure if they have come to light now or not. Trista was using after Ayla went missing and well into the investigation. Her boyfriend is a low level coke dealer, or should I say was since I don't know if he still is. She lied about the press conference, she also was not truthful in how Ayla ended up with Justin and her lack of interest in getting her back until it was too late."
DeleteAnd you know this how? Second, third, hand? Did you buy all the other info this person had to say or did you pick and choose?
Oh Oneannon that was like trying to put out a fire by spitting on it. Nice try though.
DeleteOneannon, 11:25 AM, you echo my thoughts exactly. Note, that Trista has not publicly badmouthed Tori on the internet; she has kept her personal reservations with Tori a private matter between the two of them.
DeleteI was'nt trying to put out any fire just pointing ut that those statements are not fact and are typical of a person or persons who have a vendetta.
Delete".....those statements are not fact and are typical of a person or persons who have a vendetta."
DeleteBingo.
Why would Tori have a vendetta? Just because Trista and Jeff are mad at her?
DeleteI'm just going to bow out of this thing entirely at this point. On the one hand you've got the actual mom saying she's uncomfortable with the amateur age progression photo and on the other you've got the de facto spokeswoman for the dad saying they're a-okay with it. I'll go with the actual mom over the de facto spokeswoman.
ReplyDeleteIf the MSP thought there was even a bit of a chance Ayla is still alive they would put out their own, *professional*, age progression photos. I'm sorry they don't feel that's a worthwhile use of skills, energy and funds, but that they don't put it out there speaks pretty loudly to me.
I'm really mostly disgusted by the tone of this post. It's almost got a teasing nature to it. Its "Super Sensitive Shit!" tagline is pretty offensive. That it followed a "TeeHee" tagline about sensitive topics pretty much wraps it up for me. The case of this little girl seems to be pretty funny to the blog owner. Well, it's not funny to me.
~Scout
over and *very much* out
You have so much audacity, it's almost ridiculous. Trista is opposed to the age-progression photos for what reason? Did she even give a reason? Can you honestly say that she has given a logical reason, or is she just trying to pull the "Ayla's mom" card that she has been allowed to pull over and over? She did this same thing to Tori, when all Tori tried to do is start a Twitter account for the Justice for Ayla blog. Trista thinks of Ayla as a possession; as property. Ayla BELONGS to her, so in her mind she thinks that she gets to control everything about this case.
DeleteI'm the wrong bitch to bring that shit to. Period. Justin is just as much Ayla's parent as Trista is. So the fuck what if he has a "spokeswoman." Did you hear that message directly from Trista? No. Did she publicly speak out against the age progression photos? No. Yet somehow, we are supposed to take the indirect word of Trista over the indirect word of Justin?
Come the fuck on. You're no scout, because if you were, you'd be able to spot your OWN bullshit.
Now we should leave things alone, because if LE wanted to age progress photos they would. Well here's a thought...if the District Attorney wanted to press charges, he would. I didn't see you speak out against the nonsensical petitions that were designed to tell the DA what to do. If LE thought hunting season would be a good time to look for Ayla, they would have started their own campaign huh? If LE thought a good birthday present for Ayla would be to look for her dead body on other people's property, they would have done that too huh?
So one sided. People like you should be over, and very much out. By that I mean you should put a pillow OVER your face and hold it there until you pass OUT forever.
Scumbag.
I don't know if anyone has followed this case at all but after 1300 tips they have found nothing about these 3 little boys. LE believes the boys are dead and their bodies are somewhere near a small town, but the mom does not believe that she believes they are alive with another family somewhere. The dad has been arrested and convicted of Child imprisonment sentenced to 10-15 years in jail. Oh yeah and they have released age progression photos of all 3 boys
DeleteIt seems to me and I could be wrong since I am not in the criminal justice field, that if LE had one shred of evidence they would have arrested someone by now in Ayla's case. If they could make any charge stick they would like in the 3 little boys case. They convicted the dad on a different charge and if the boys are found deceased they can then charge him with murder. There would be no double jeopardy involved. They could arrest and convict on a lower crime and then if received more evidence they could retry under different charges. I can not see them waiting until they have every shred of evidence so they can assure a murder conviction before bringing someone to trial. That would leave a person who was a danger to any child they were around on the street.

Obscure you are losing it. Talk about temper, and why tell someone to kill themselves just because they share their opinion?
DeleteScout has been a true friend to Ayla. I'm sorry to see this friction here.
DeleteThere have been times when the blogs just get to be too much and it is best to step away. I know Scout will never abandon Ayla's case...isn't that what really matters?
Anon 10:47 looks like you hit a hot spot with Obscure. . .lol, thanks its nice to see her true colors. . . I would guess her age to be about 13. . .lolololol
DeleteDid you really just encourage someone to kill themselves over a post on a blog? What the batshit are these blogs doing to people anyway - people who are stating they have NO DIRECT CONNECTION to the case.
DeleteScout - the reasonable answer that could have been provided to you about why LE has not done their own age progression is that they don't do them until 2 years have passed.
I agree mckeekitty, "Scout has been a true friend to Ayla. I'm sorry to see this friction here." For Obscure to tell her to kill herself shows Obscure is not concerned for Ayla, she is concerned with her own attention. Scout I am sorry this is happening to you, I know you will speak for Ayla somewhere, but this is obviously not the place for it.
DeleteLooking At The Facts, the two cases are not even remotely similar. They were able to imprison John Skelton on a clear child custody violation. Although there is much incriminating evidence in the Skelton case, law enforcement does not yet have enough to guarantee an indictment for murder; these missing child cases, (including Ayla's), in which the child cannot be located are much more difficult to prosecute for obvious reasons. The Skelton boys' mother is clinging to her belief that the three boys are alive because John Skelton gave her that story. I am originally from Michigan, and I am very familiar with the Skelton case.
DeleteLooking At The Facts, I forgot to mention that the age-progressed photographs of the Skelton brothers were PROFESSIONALLY rendered--huge difference.
Deleteobscure.....are we a bit frustrated tonight? nMaybe in need of some prozac or something a bit stronger. sheathe your claws bitch... your IQ (or lack of) is starting to show. When you start talking about people having something put over their faces permanately it says more than you know..Your sounding a bit psycho at this time. How far is your protection and anger against others who say anything wrong against Justin or your protection of him going to go. Your comment was just short of a threat. Watch what you say. As for being a bitch, who cares, you go ahead and wear that badge like a shield. But your every word is being read by police enforcement and they dont miss anything. And also. who made you God that you can say who should live or die, your aggressiveness is almost scarey in the fact that one wonders How much control you have or have not. Birds of a feather often flock together. When saying your prayers tonight, ask for guidance, you are in need of it badly.
DeleteNot that it makes any difference at this point, but I did study up on how to produce age progressions before I made this one. So I do know what to do, I'm just still learning how to use all of the tools in Photoshop. I knew when I finished it that it could use some more adjustments, I just didn't know how, and the way it ended up, looked pretty close to what I was aiming for. I do know that I should have increased the space between the nose and mouth, and blended the skin and hair better. But I used her own teeth to add more teeth, I made her face a bit leaner, changed her skin tone a bit, and she has slightly darker hair. My point is, I'm not a professional, but I didn't work on it with no idea what I was doing. Not to mention, I clearly stated that it is not a professional picture and is only designed to give an idea of what she MIGHT look like now. Just so people who are out looking don't pass over a child who no longer looks like a baby. When you have some ideas in mind of how she might look, it helps. Other people also released enhancements of her with dark hair and boy clothes. That's really not much different from what I did, but I just tried to make her look slightly older.
DeleteMW
DeleteAyla looks quite a bit like Justin. This picture looks quite a bit like what Justin looked like at that age if that tells you anything.
I agree.
DeleteI saw a picture of Justin at 3 years old on a website.
Ayla looks almost identical to that picture, and a lot like this one done by MW.
MW, not being a professonal, I think you did a good job. :)
Don't insult Ayla, I don't think she looks like that monster at all
DeleteHave you ever heard that "monster" tell stories about his daughter who looks just like him? I did. That "monster" is one proud daddy. Ayla is so smart and so well behaved according to him. She is an easy kid and he could not be prouder when he talks about her. Yeah but I am sure you know better.
DeleteAnonymous 10:34 AM:
Delete"Reynolds said Ayla was an alert, bright-eyed baby. She also had a familiar face.
"The minute I looked at her, I looked at my mom and said, 'She looks like Justin, Mama.'" Reynolds said.

This is the photo that doesn't look like Ayla???
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful...Ayla is beautiful.
There is just so many things about Trista that leave me confounded.
I'm so glad that the paternal family agrees to age progression photo's. I knew they would though.
Thanks for posting it Obscure.
Don't thank me, you have to thank the wonderful people that forwarded me the picture!
DeleteYes,
DeleteThanks to the wonderful people who forwared the photo and flyer to Obscure.
I'm going to print some.
I honestly don't know why Trista has an issue with this particular photo manipulation which is an amateur job (no offense meant to the person who did it out of love and trying to help find Ayla) which simply adds pigtails but is OK with the possibly hundreds of photoshops like this one. I never cared for the disembodied Ayla heads in black velvet poster style rendition of what...heaven? THOSE creep me out! But this "age progression" pic looks exactly like Ayla, because, from what I can see, there is simply an addition of longer hair. Why is it OK for people to make glittery garish art out of Ayla's head, but not OK to add pigtails to a full bodied Ayla. I don't get it!
ReplyDeleteHow disrespectful you are. . . you should be ashamed of yourself. If this was done by a professional and put out there by LE it would be a different story. I wholeheartedly agree with Trista's decision. . . This blog should be shut down. . . it is totally useless and shameful!
ReplyDeleteWhy disrespectful? What does Trista say is her problem really with the photo other than "she doesn't believe it is what Ayla will look like". The fact is it is exactly what Ayla looks like. It is her. And she is only a year older so would not have aged much.
DeleteSo what is Trista's real problem? Would she be happy with a professional age progressed photo? Or does she not want any at all?
I only see Trista taking issue with THIS particular age-progressive photo...not necessarily demanding that NO age-progressive photo be created/released/posted.
ReplyDeleteIf the paternal family has approved the photo, I don't see how Trista can prohibit distribution. A united front by both parents would be nice.
No offense to the creater of the photo, but it is a bit of a hack-job. A child's features change dramatically over time. I think Ayla deserves a professional touch when it comes to releasing an age-progressive photo.
I agree Mckeekitty. I think that the picture is very much a hack job.
DeleteI think she is child who has a very distinct look. And usually children who already have a distinct look early on keep that look. So I think she would and will look much the same as she ages.
DeleteI agree McKee.
DeleteWell thanks :-/ I actually sent the photo to quite a few people before I posted it, and was told it looks like what she could look like now. I never said it was perfect, nor did I claim to be a professional. Cynthia actually said she thought I did a good job, she just thinks I shouldn't have put it out there without Trista's permission.

DeleteI don't know how people can say this isn't a good job. Has anyone here not noticed how much Ayla looks like Justin? Based just on that she will most likely not change in looks much. So her age progressed photos when done professionally will probably not show a remarkable change in her either.
I honestly do not understand Trista's problem with this particular age progressed photo.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not professionally done, but it is simply Ayla with longer hair.
The ideal thing would be to have a professionally done age progressed picture to use for flyers, and I hope that happens.
Until then, I don't see the problem with using amateur ones.
Perhaps I'm just naive about the problems it could cause.?

DeleteWhat problems could it possibly cause? This flyer as you said S just takes Ayla's face and adds some longer hair. She is not that much older so she really will not have aged much yet. Does Trista or anyone for that matter think she is going to look so much different yet? I don't think you are being naive at all. I think Trista is just mad. But why is the question?
I think that age progressed picture should not be put on the internet. I believe this blog and justin family just said they did not mind it being posted to hurt trisha in any way that they can. I feel this blog continue bashing trisha and it insane the thing people post on jstl and tllom.I feel that no one should bash either side justin or trisha.I do pray that ayla will be found alive it just sad to read all bashing of the parent on any blog but I feel this site is the worse it is abuse and should be stop
ReplyDeleteI would just like to ask if Heidi wants justice for Ayla, once she is found..and Obscure i would like to hear your answer on that also..I mean real..throw the book at them justice. Because no matter who took Ayla, or whatever has happened to Ayla, justice should be served..right?
ReplyDeleteplease do not post my comment above ty
ReplyDeletedo tell
ReplyDeleteDo you think that anyone would not want justice served? That is what laws are for. Hopefully when Ayla is found they will work exactly the way they were made to.
