Ayla Reynolds: Ten Years Later, part 2

2011 - Waterville, Maine.

Ayla Reynolds' mother just wanted answers for her little girl. In December of 2011, her disappearance sparked a national media storm, catapulting Trista Reynolds and her missing wispy blonde-haired toddler into the white hot spotlight.

The police declared that they believed 20-month-old Ayla was a victim of foul play, adding that the people who were with her that night—including her father, Justin DiPietro—were not being truthful.

In January of 2013, police showed Trista the evidence they'd found all throughout the home... Ayla's blood. Trista believed more than ever her daughter had been murdered, so she took matters in her own hands to put the pressure on, letting the world know what happened to little Ayla in the DiPietro home that cold December night: she revealed the blood evidence to the public.

The disappearance of little Ayla Bell Reynolds is the largest criminal investigation in Maine State History, and as of 2021, the case remains without justice. This is the latest information on the Ayla Reynolds case.
