Those would have to be very specific tips, yeah? Even if someone said I think I found a dead body, all it would take is for the cops to come out and see if it's a child or an adult. Even more so, why would that be connected to Ayla? I truly believe there was a sighting of her there, and that sighting was credible. What other kind of tip would tie her to NH, and be credible enough for authorities to travel down there to investigate? (NH conducted the Stoddard search, not the other one.)
Looking for Ayla in New Hampshire...
If Justin's trip to Portland is SO important, and they think he may have disposed of her body along the way, why are they searching almost 4 hours (160 miles) away in Stoddard, NH or Mayfield Township?
I can't figure out exactly where Mayfield Township is at, but to get to New Hampshire from Maine takes 3 hours at the minimum. When would Justin have had time to take Ayla there? And make the supposed trip to Portland?
"A significant component of this investigation is the leads," Love said. "We would like the public to forward any relevant information they feel would be beneficial to investigators. As time passes, please remember that it's important to keep looking and listening."
They don't generally encourage the public to look for dead people, and the dead don't speak. I believe they want the public to keep looking for Ayla, a living child, and listening for Trista or those around her to slip up.
The fact that searches were conducted in New Hampshire has been largely overlooked. Why?
Hopefully someone can help me figure this out...HMMM
Mayfield Township is about 50 miles north of Watervile and about 140 miles N. West of Machiasport.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhen I read this: "in the New Hampshire communities of Mayfield Township and Stoddard" I assumed both places were in New Hampshire. Google only showed me Mayfield Township in Michigan and Maine.
Clears that up!
Bless your heart anonymous.
DeleteYou're right. Those NH searches haven't really been addressed much. Why, I couldn't tell you.
ReplyDeleteMuch of the speculation throughout has involved theories in which Justin disposed of Ayla sometime after the 8th, not the 16th. Jeff recently took ax to all of those with the following comment:
Answers4Ayla says:
February 11, 2013 at 8:57 pm
I asked one of the lead State Police’s investigators on Ayla’s case if the rumors that Ayla may have been missing before 12/16/2011 could be true and she said “the rumors are false”. Does that answer you(r:) question John?
Now everyone who was speculating has to try to make it all fit into a specific time frame. Of course, they're fixating on the Portland trip.
Yeah, and the search in New Hampshire really doesn't fit in with anything we know so far.
DeleteI would expect any competent law enforcement agency to conduct a parallel investigation based on multiple possibilities. Even if the MSP believe that Ayla is most likely located in the vicinity of Waterville, ME, (based on evidence they've found), it would be ridiculous not to look for her elsewhere. Likewise, if the MSP believe that Ayla "disappeared" somewhere between Waterville and Portland, it would be ridiculous not to search in the Waterville area as well. They may have also considered the possibility that Ayla was moved from her original location, (purely speculation on my part), hence the searches in New Hampshire. MOO.
DeleteYou ever hear of any searches in Portland? Or um, excuse me, South Portland?
DeleteI wouldn't expect LE to inform the public of every search they conduct.
DeleteDid I ask for EVERY search, or did I say ANY search?
DeleteI wouldn't expect you to comprehend what you just finished reading either.
"Did I ask for EVERY search, or did I say ANY search?
DeleteI wouldn't expect you to comprehend what you just finished reading either."
You simply cannot handle it when an individual doesn't agree with you or offers an alternative explanation to your posts. That is why you so often resort to insulting behavior towards others. Just because the public has not been informed of any searches, within the vicinity of Portland, ME is really irrelevant, in my opinion. That doesn't indicate that a search hasn't been conducted in Portland, ME.
If they believe he went to Portland, they investigate that, but getting a ti[ that she might have been dumped in another location would also be followed up on of course. They investigated over 1000 tips to see what they could learn, as LE would be expected to do.
ReplyDelete
DeleteJeff says Ayla WAS NOT MISSING before December 16.
Justin could not have taken both trips and still reported Ayla missing by 8:41 am on December 17.
So when would he have had time to dump her in NH?
By the way, the Portland trip is most likely the trip we have known about all along, when he was capture on film at Cumberland Farms with 2 other people. Only one of those people has not been identified. Trista and Justin even discussed this in the texts.
I guess what I am saying is they would have investigated any trip and any location that was provided as a tip, regardless of what other evidence may point to. Just as they would investigate Trista even though Ayla was with Justin - they investigate it all. That said, Ayla might not have been missing BEFORE the 16th, but that leaves all day on the 16th and all night into the 17th. That's a long period of time for something to happen. Other sources say Justin told Trista he drove to Portland because he thought she took Ayla, is he saying (through Heidi) he never said that?
DeleteI'm confused by that logic. I'm not picking on you here, but I'm also not easily drawing the same conclusion as you that the early morning trip that Jeff has recently "exposed" is the same trip as the late night/early morning trip of the 15/16th. I do agree that Justin couldn't have traveled to NH and back and Portland and back between 12:00 am on 12/17 and 8:41 am on 12/17.
DeleteAt this point, frankly, I'm most interested in what Amanda has to say about this supposed early morning trip on 12/17, if indeed, Jeff is being truthful that Amanda first heard "from her relations" that the trip happened and then told Trista about it.
I'm going to say something else, which has been weighing on me for a while now. I am the last person to jump on the "Justin is a murderer" bandwagon, and I refuse to go down that path without solid evidence, released by law enforcement. However, there are many things that could be cleared up/put to rest if Justin would simply speak out and explain exactly what happened that morning (in his own words, and directly). He may not owe the public any explanation, but what would it hurt him to provide explanation? He's already being ripped apart by hordes of complete strangers simply by being silent, so the idea that opening his mouth will just provide more fodder for the rumor mongers who will dissect his words and make them into something else doesn't really matter much in my opinion. In fact, if he's innocent of any wrong doing, and he actually speaks out to provide the details he has avoided talking about thus far, I imagine there are a whole bunch of people (including myself) who would be very ready to defend him.
I'm interested as well.
DeleteI'm an still confused with the fact that if this story were true and LE truly believed Justin went to dump Ayla on the trip to Portland, other than the search in NH. Why have they risked the lives of searchers to have them keep going back to the river. For anyone who does not live in the area or know the river, we are not talking about a babbling brook this is a huge river with some very strong currents. Other than the possible risks from sending people into icy water they have many other things to be concerned about going in that river.
DeleteIF Justin was going to dump Ayla why would he go to Portland to do it? He could have stayed under the radar and gone somewhere no one would expect him to go.
DeleteHe also had no reason to call 911 that particular morning, he could have waited days. He could have Casey Anthonied Phoebe and everyone else.
It is probably more likely that he would do that on the way. I guess that it may have been a twofold trip. There are round about ways to get from Waterville to Portland.
DeleteAnd why would he have needed to make the trip then IMMEDIATELY call 911?
DeleteI think he did make a trip in the early morning hours of the 17th then returned to Waterville, made the 911 call, and claimed abduction.
DeleteThat's a hell of a point, Obscure.
Delete@ more questions, these people are mentally deficient.
DeleteThey claim Phoebe, Elisha, and Courtney didn't care about Ayla. The only person in the world who cared for her was Trista. Well, if Ayla was gone, why would anybody in Waterville make a stink about it? Only Trista would, and according to her, she hadn't been able to get ahold of Ayla for some time.
So why, oh why, would Justin need to explain Ayla's whereabouts? Courtney, Elisha, and Phoebe would just be glad the unwanted little girl was gone, and Trista would just keep calling and not being allowed to speak to her daughter "as usual".
Thinking about it like that---if he's the monster they say he is, and if he really made the trip that morning--- he wouldn't need to call 911 immediately. He could have returned from Portland, and went on about his day. He could have lied regarding Ayla's whereabouts for months (hence the term Case Anthonied). Nobody would care where Ayla was, and Justin wouldn't really be accountable to anyone.
Oneannon, you base that on what?
DeleteThe ONLY trip we have proof of is the one that actually occurred and was captured on video.
You want facts?
You either have to accept that as the ONLY trip, or shut the fuck up.
I can even link you to it, if you want.
Adding to your thoughts, at the very LEAST, they could've planted some serious evidence of a break-in. A busted window, maybe pry the door open or something? All these people allegedly involved and not one thought of that? Damn...you'd think it would've come up sometime during the two hour disposal trip :::rolls eyes:::
DeleteExactly. And what reason would Derek have to throw away his whole life? I hear he's married with kids and he was/is employed---he was willing to give that all up to cover up the murder of someone else's kid? His freedom was worth it? These people do not think before they speak.
DeleteIf my very best friend, I've known all my life, called me and said help me hide my dead child, I'd play right along with her. I'd say sure, I'm here for you. As soon as we got off the phone, I'd turn her ass in. Period.
Loyalty only goes so far, and most normally functioning people (like Derek) know those limits.
Damn straight, Obscure!

Deleteif damn straighting you is wrong, I don't want to be right (maybe you're too young to remember that song) - seriously though, if I ever sincerely say "Amen!" to a blog comment, just assume I'm feverish
DeleteI don't accept that there was only one trip, it's my thought, my opinion and I thought opinions were allowed here as well as facts.
DeleteAnger issues Obscure?
Space, I'm not that young. LOL
DeleteOneannon, yes.
I'm not sure where it was stated the JD took a trip to Portland to dispose of Ayla. If this trip does fit into the picture, it seems more likely it would have been to get rid of drugs, especially if Ayla got into them. I think most of you could fill in the gaps on this theory fairly easily. I still don't see anything conclusive indicating he did not make that drive on the morning of the 17th? What did I miss.
DeleteHe did not necessarily dispose of Ayla's body himself assuming he was involved in or aware of the events causing her death.
ReplyDeletePolice could have gotten a tip that Justin had traveled there in the past, had friends there, that a stranger was seen carrying something into the woods, so many things could have led there. Forensic evidence on the cars or shoes could be consistent with a certain locale.
Why does the tip have to pertain to Justin? You don't think people are calling in tips about Trista?
DeleteLE determined that no abduction took place and it went from a missing persons case to a criminal case so likely they suspect those that were in the house.
Delete"He could have lied regarding Ayla's whereabouts for months (hence the term Case Anthonied). Nobody would care where Ayla was, and Justin wouldn't really be accountable to anyone."
DeleteI believe that the court would have eventually cared where Ayla was considering that Trista Reynolds had filed paperwork shortly before Ayla disappeared. If I'm not mistaken, Ayla also missed her last doctor's appointment regarding her arm injury shortly before she disappeared. I would imagine that the missed doctor's appointment may have become noticeable fairly quickly. Does anyone here recall what date Ayla's last doctor's appointment was scheduled for?
Oneannon,...
Delete"LE determined that no abduction took place and it went from a missing persons case to a criminal case so likely they suspect those that were in the house".
Actually Oneannon in the May 31 PC McCausland stressed 3 different times that this is a "missing person case".
I don't have the link, but I'm sure you can find it.
LE explained that the terms of the case were changed ,and by the way it was still a missing persons case ,still is, but it was then a criminal investigation, because they had determined that Ayla had not walked out of the home on her own. What they had not and still have not determined is how that has happened. By the way abduction by a parent, any parent, falls under the terms of a criminal case. Look it up.
DeleteGood points. It's highly unlikely that she's alive, yet the term homicide investigation is never used.
DeleteHmmm

"At this point, we believe that foul play has occurred in connection with Ayla's disappearance," Massey said in a written release. "We base our conclusions on evidence gathered by investigators during the past two weeks. This case has evolved from the search for a missing child to a criminal investigation."http://www.kjonline.com/news/foul-play-now-suspected_2011-12-30.html
The hope is that someone will come forward in the next 30 days. Even if they do not, authorities vow that the lapse in the reward offer has no bearing on the investigation. To that point, McCausland promised there will be more searches and that -- even though police are now stating they believe Ayla is dead -- "this is still a missing person's case."

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not posting another link. There is a child missing and it is a criminal investigation. No, my bubble is not bursted because unlike you I don't any thrills out of a young child missing and likely not alive.
DeleteDammit...and I'm really disappointed. You have no idea.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteI don't think anyone here gets a thrill out of Ayla missing. The only difference between you and many of us here is that we believe she's alive. Your "proof" that you pasted above does not state your case. Have you considered the possibility, even a tiny bit, that you just might be looking at it wrong? Wouldn't you rather Ayla was still alive & well somewhere, albeit taken away from her family? Or would you rather just be right & win the blog war? Just think about it. My questions are sincere.
DeleteMichelle, you had duplicate comments, so I deleted the one above this.
DeleteThank you. I got an error from blogger/google the first time, then retyped it (android keyboard memory, ftw!). I appreciate you picking the second one since I added a bit to it :)
DeleteMeh. They say they've followed up on 1000 or so leads. Then they gave examples of a couple time they "recently" searched in NH as a result of leads or tips they got...doesn't mean a lot to me other than they're doing their jobs by following up on leads and tips.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sentence or two in a presser, it doesn't give context to how involved the searches were or why they followed up on the particular tips. It sounds more like McCausland just saying that despite what they really think happened, they're still doing their due diligence and following up on other leads and here's the proof.
Meh?
DeleteBy the middle of this case LE had already followed up on over 1000 tips and leads. Requiring as much in time and hours and tax payers money.
I find it interesting that people point to the river searches as evidence. But all other things that LE follows is just LE passing time.
Here's the thing if LE has "unequivocal proof" of anything they would not be wasting their valuable time. The tax payers money. And if they had that proof they would legally have to inform both sets of parents that their child was indeed deceased. And change the status of the case to a homicide. And then progress from there.
IF LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS UNEQUIVOCAL PROOF, THEN THEY ALSO HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE.
DeleteIt's really that simple.
If Ayla died in that house it does not have to mean it was a homicide, it could be criminal negligence. They could have proof she is deceased without knowing unequivocally which of the three adults to arrest. They cannot charge all three without creating reasonable doubt, so they would wait for proof (or one of them to turn on one of the others). The fact that they have not yet arrested someone is concerning but not an indication of anyone's innocence.
DeleteYes and no.
DeleteHomicide is a general term that means that one person killed another.
So if Ayla died due to someone's criminal negligence (i.e. they left drugs out and she overdosed), that would still be a homicide. The type of homicide would be murder, manslaughter, or justifiable.
Also, in terms of autopsies/medical examiners, homicide can refer to any unnatural death.
I googled it. You're welcome.
Exactly Obscure. The case would be labeled a homicide. Who committed the crime would still be open to investigation.
DeleteI am confused about what you are saying, Obscure. Are you saying the caught on camera trip to Portland, the ciggie buying at Cumby's, etc. trip that everyone has known about from early on was Justin's last trip to Portland prior to Ayla's disappearance? And there was no trip to Portland on the 17th before the 911 call was made?
ReplyDeleteReading comprehension.
DeleteI'm really not going to continue to answer the same question posed a million different ways.
Because, I'm just not.
These searches were conducted acting on a tip.
ReplyDeleteWho says those tips were about a body?
They very well could have been sightings of a child that looked like Ayla.
I know someone who swears they saw Trista with Ayla in Waterville just a few days after she went missing. He took a picture of them, along with a picture of the car with the license plate visible. He passed the pictures on to authorities. I wonder how many tips they've received of that nature that have sent them running from one end of the state to the other.
DeleteWOW.

ReplyDelete"My scenario does not take into account everything that’s been said as I don’t take everything that’s been said as truth. The reason for this is that it seems that every time Jeff says Trista or LE told him something, later there’s a clarification or restatement that follows and that makes it difficult to discern if the original statement was a lie, an innocent misstatement or a load of crap meant to make people think a certain way."
________________
I agree wholeheartedly with Scout's comment. My question is...WHY? What is the point? Jeff's comments don't change FACTS or TRUTH. If we can see through the BS, so can LE.
Does Jeff really believe that convincing John P, Mountain Mama, Chicky, CG, addie, and others of Justin's guilt and Trista's innocence will magically make it so?
Is this an ego-trip for Jeff?
Jeff is skeevy to me. I believe that he is very much like John P, Mountain Mama, Chicky, CG, addie, and everyone else over there in a VERY big way:
DeleteHe didn't actually know Ayla.
Why would that even matter? For him, this is not about HER, it seems to be more about being right and being in the know.
It's very much an ego trip.
This became evident when he sent the email out to his "followers" on May 31st. More obvious when he said he was basically rewarding Carol Bengle Gilbert for being there for Ayla by giving her the "scoop" on the Portland trip. He could have released it himself, since he blogs. Trista could have released it. I think he likes being able to dole out information and answer questions; he feeds off the attention given to him by his "followers." They are all basically nobodies, but they make Jeff feel like somebody. It's easy to see that there's something really off about him. He seems to be the most normal member of a highly dysfunctional family, which isn't saying much.
He seems to use his position as "family spokesperson" in a very awkward way. He does more slinging of mud on blogs than he does advocating or speaking for Ayla.
Jeff shot his own credibility when he sent me the email saying that Trista is incapable of lying. I love how Phoebe has been discredited for supposedly lying, yet Jeff's every word is to be trusted even though he told a flat out, nonsensical lie for no reason. Jeff has also said that Justin kidnapped Ayla from Trista. Nonsense, yet people hang on his every word.
Jeff is the kind of man who would link up with a drug addict so that he could control her. He strikes me as the type of person who feeds off of people "needing" him, no matter how unhealthy that need may be. That's evidenced by the fact that he is surrounded by drug addicts.
Anyway, I kind of went off topic a bit, but hopefully that made sense. Jeff is very complex, and it would not surprise me in the end if he is doing all that he is doing right now for the sole purpose of turning state's witness AGAINST TRISTA. Again, he has a need to be right, a need to be in the know, and a need to be needed... That means he would use everything at his disposal to remain relevant in this investigation. I do not think he is sociopathic, but he likely has narcissistic traits. He thinks he is more important than he actually is.
I'm almost sure that Trista has told him things she will live to regret. Jeff is a snake. No self-respecting grandparent of a missing child behaves like he does. He did not know Ayla, and I really think the care/love he feels for her is surface level.
I have asked this before and received no answer: What did Ayla call him?
My kids call their maternal grandparents Grammy and Papa...their paternal grandparents are Grandma and Grandpa. I can only wonder what Ayla called Jeff, assuming she even knew his name.
/end-mini-rant
Thank you for your thoughtful response, Obscure.
DeleteReally, it is frightening to see so many hang on Jeff's every word and taking it as gospel. Here's Jeff's "mission statement" for his blog:
"Hanson said the blog allows the Reynoldses to disseminate stories that news organizations will not publish.
"Ever since Ayla was reported missing three months ago, Hanson has served as the family's spokesman. In that new role, Hanson said he has learned that journalists cannot implicate people without independent verification from law enforcement.
"They can't do anything about it. Their hands are tied," he said. "The media has known from day one what is going on, but they can't say anything because of sources. They need sources. I'm actually shocked that there's some integrity among journalists."
"The blog joins a wide range of other sites and groups that follow the case and its growing cast of characters. Hanson said he hopes his blog will clear the air and tamp down speculation.
"There are so many rumors going around," he said. "This (blog) is about setting the record straight and venting. We're getting frustrated, and a lot of this is what Trista has wanted to say. There are a lot of things in here that needed to be said."
"Hanson, who also maintains www.aylareynolds.com -- a site meant to raise awareness about the todler's disappearance -- said he plans to post daily updates to the new blog.

"Hanson said the blog allows the Reynoldses to disseminate stories that news organizations will not publish.
DeleteAnyone else find it interesting that he used the word 'stories' and not 'INFORMATION'. I don't think stories are usually disseminated, but that's probably just semantics...
"Ever since Ayla was reported missing three months ago, Hanson has served as the family's spokesman. In that new role, Hanson said he has learned that journalists cannot implicate people without independent verification from law enforcement.
Jeffrey, you are old enough to know this. Innocent until proven guilty. Why would you want journalists to implicate innocent people; I get the impression that's what you wanted. That's what you proceeded to use your blog to do.
"They can't do anything about it. Their hands are tied," he said. "The media has known from day one what is going on, but they can't say anything because of sources. They need sources. I'm actually shocked that there's some integrity among journalists."
Do anything about what? The media cannot bring Ayla home...I would also like to know what it is that the media knows is going on. If LE has made virtually no progress towards an arrest/bringing Ayla home, what could the media have done differently? Also, you are shocked to learn that journalists have integrity, because YOU have NONE.
"The blog joins a wide range of other sites and groups that follow the case and its growing cast of characters. Hanson said he hopes his blog will clear the air and tamp down speculation.
Jeffrey, I'm here to tell you that HOPE IS NOT A METHOD. You failed. Your blog has been a major source of pollution and drives speculation. Even when you release information, it's so unclear and incredible, that it drives what? SPECULATION.
"There are so many rumors going around," he said. "This (blog) is about setting the record straight and venting. We're getting frustrated, and a lot of this is what Trista has wanted to say. There are a lot of things in here that needed to be said."
Something like 92% of the rumors surrounding this case are generated from your blog. You are exploiting Trista (and Ayla by proxy). Those are not things that Trista wants to say, they are things that YOU want to say. I have a really bad feeling about Trista right now. I feel like she's been had by someone she trusted. She's been pretty adept at getting her word out; she's done plenty of interviews on TV and in print. It's funny that so little of the information on the blog makes it into those interviews that Trista gives. HMM...goes back to your earlier point about wanting to slander people and skew public opinion.

What kind of step-father says "what people say about Trista is not my concern...". That is so fucked up. Honestly, I don't think Jeff cares much for his step-daughter. He's willing to put words in Trista's mouth for the "shock and awe" reaction.
No control in the direction John P's blog may take? Really, Jeff? You drop these bombs and watch in delight at the mushroom clouds you create.
I don't know if what's being said of Trista's new boyfriend is true (drugs, abusive), if it is he'd have to be incredibly stupid to cozy up to a talkative woman who has so much attention from the press, the public, and LE. Don't men like that try to keep that stuff on the down low?
Deletemckee - Tori has earned the right to say what she wants? Haven't we all? Actually, isn't there an amendment that predates Jeff's proclamation by a couple hundred years? (John Hancock signed the Constitution before Justin called 911.)
