Well, at least it keeps Ayla's face in the public view...
Examining the 'Trista kidnapped Alya' scenario as set forth by DiPietro/supporters.
The FBI, Maine State Police, and the Waterville Police interviewed everyone in the immediate circle of Ayla Reynols, 20 months, reported kidnapped from her father's home on December 17th, 2011. They collected the evidence, and in the interviews, collected information.
Justin DiPietro claimed to have put her to bed at 8PM, and by 8AM (or later) the next morning, she was gone. He 'addressed' the kidnapper on television, weeks later, revealing that the 'kidnapper' knew Ayla and Justin, and did not approve of his fatherhood. What he did after reporting his child 'kidnapped' is essential in understanding this case.
If your child was kidnapped, what would you do? This is a way to understand Behavioral Analysis. This question, alone, will help you understand who Justin DiPietro is.
This means that the last person to see Ayla alive believes that she was kidnapped, while the adults and children in the home were sleeping, by someone close to the family, and since he was in a custody battle with the mother, the insinuation was clear. Instead of a stranger abduction, with 300 million potential suspects, DiPietro brought the number down to a very small few: someone connected to Ayla, either through him, or through Ayla's mother, Trista Reynolds.
Now, the circle is quite small, and manageable. In fact, Trista Reynolds, under polygraph, can be asked:
Did you kidnap Ayla?
Did you ask someone to get Ayla for you?
Did you arrange for someone to take Ayla out of the home in Waterville?
Do you know where Ayla is?
The father had reported a kidnapping, so the FBI's crack unit, specialists in child abductions, was dispatched to Waterville.
Then what happened?
The FBI left shortly after arriving, as it did not take long for them to know that this child was not kidnapped. The FBI, Maine State Police, and Waterville Police, all collecting evidence and conducting interviews, were in agreement: there was no kidnapping. In fact, the police said that the three adults in the home, Justin DiPietro, Elisha DiPietro and Courtney Roberts have been deceptive via the deliberate withholding of information and...they were sticking to their story. (If Police are correct, this is an indication that if, for example, the case goes to a Grand Jury, all three will be indicted).
DiPietro insinuated that Trista kidnapped Ayla, which eventually morphed into Trista orchestrated some criminal element within her family to kidnap Ayla.
That Ayla was kidnapped was not only debunked, but it was also mocked by police: "it doesn't pass the straight face test" which is to say, "You cannot say that without laughing...". It is to say, "you're joking, right? You're making a joke! You are kidding, right?" It is a story that can't be told with 'a straight face.'
It was not taken seriously in light of the evidence police had: they knew the three were lying, and were not concerned about telling the public this very thing.
Yet, DiPietro and his supporters continue to post here, and at the Waterville Sentinel, that Trista kidnapped Ayla, in one way or another.
While keeping a straight face, let's look at this possibility, no different than early investigators listening to Cindy Anthony describe "Zanny the Nanny" with a straight face:
1. Early Cooperation:
Trista Reynolds offered to take a polygraph on Day one. Justin DiPietro said he was not emotionally capable of doing so. In fact, he was not "emotionally capable" of even speaking to the kidnapper via media, no matter what Ayla might have been experiencing.
Can you imagine such unmanly behavior?
He can choose which he would like to be viewed as:
a. Abdicating, weak, selfish, lack of masculinity male who's emotional well being was more important than recovering his kidnapped child or;
b. A liar who spilled her blood and was not in cover up mode.
Forget the polygraph, this 'man' claimed to be "emotionally incapable" of even walking in front of a camera to plead with his child's kidnapper? Is this what a father does? Is this how he'd like to be known?
'Sorry, Ayla, that I didn't speak to the kidnapper to start negotiating for your life. I was getting in touch with my feelings, processing my unresolved issues from childhood, and needed time for myself. I'm aware that you were frightened, alone, scared and missing me, but, hey, I needed some adult time to get myself together, talk through things, maybe chill and when I was ready, you know, a week later, I did get around do it.'
This is a father? This is a man?
Do you still think that killing her for the life insurance policy is so extreme that there's no way it could happen? Do you still want to believe him that his daughter was kidnapped but he didn't care enough to get himself off the couch to even speak to the kidnapper?
Supporter: Can you now keep a straight face?
If your child was kidnapped, would you be too "emotionally incapable" of getting the word out there, or speaking to your child, or to the kidnapper? Can you answer this question with a straight face?
You who said that there was blood all over your house, tell me now, if your child was kidnapped from your home, would you be silent at the very moment when your child needs a voice more than any time in his or her life? Yes, or no? Would you be silent instead of pleading for your son or daughter's return?
Answer me, now, with a straight face.
With your child's life hanging in the balance, would you need a week to yourself, or would you not rush before that camera, bite your lip, pull yourself together, and plead...beg, plead, beg for your son or daughter's safe return?
Now, answer me this:
Do you even know a parent who wouldn't?
Have you even met someone who, if his or her child was kidnapped, could be stopped from shouting from the housetop for his or her safe return?
Answer: you do.
You have a 'man' who did not plead for her safe return.
You have a 'man' who did not speak to her via media, or put her face out, or beg the public to look here, there, and everywhere for his child!
You know such a 'man' and so do the rest of us now!
You know the one that claimed his daughter was kidnapped, yet could not bring himself to walk over to the waiting microphones and weep, and beg, for her return!
You say he doesn't eat, or smile, or anything like his normal self: What the hell do you think Ayla is doing right now? Where was the compassion for her, if you really believed she was kidnapped? Why didn't you speak to the kidnappers and beg for her return? Why didn't Justin get on television and say, "give her her teddy bear! give her her favorite binkie! "
The young man who sold him life insurance said he had a similar policy for his son. He can now ask himself:
What if you woke up one day and your son was missing and you believed he had been kidnapped:
What would you do?
Would you rush to the police, pass the poly, and lead the brigade to bring him home safely? Would there be anything anyone could say to you to stop you from searching high and low, come hell or highwater, for your son? Would you not be working with the FBI to plead for his return, not allowing a moment to be lost?
Or, would you take a week off to get yourself emotionally together?
I think you know the answer.
Trista had nothing to hide; he had everything to hide.
Did you watch the baby Lisa case? These parents said they couldn't speak to local media even though the 'kidnapper ' would have been a local, demanded privacy, and then went out "Trick or Treating" and invited...
the national media to come along.
Did you not feel like throwing up in your mouth when you saw that on TV??
Would you let your son be in the hands of strangers while you sat home, did nothing, but got yourself "emotionally capable"?
Parents don't care about themselves, that is what makes us parents. We live for our children, and sacrifice everything from sleep to that last scoop of ice cream, putting their needs before our own, and any parent of any stripe would be out pleading for his daughter's safe return, unless of course, she was never 'missing.' This is why Casey Anthony wasn't out searching: Caylee was never missing: she was dead.
Trista did not kidnap Ayla because no one kidnapped Ayla.
2. Substance Abuse. Substance Abuse is often the fuel that drives criminally negligent behavior in relation to children.
Both substance abusers, she sought help for her issues and likely has had a rough time since December 17th, and really, who can blame her? If your sobriety was day to day, and you learned that your bruised, battered, blood spilled toddler is now "missing" mere weeks after your ex bought a life insurance policy, could you stay sober?
That Trista is still alive even, and speaking out for Ayla, wins my admiration, no matter what she has been through or what she has done.
If my child was missing and I have learned what she has learned, I do not know how I would cope.
Trista got help for substance abuse.
Justin? Well, his girlfriend's sister (and apartment) was in a major drug raid. Briana Roberts likely owes someone a whole lot of money for the 1,000 oxycontins that were confiscated, along with cocaine and marijuana. Who is going to pay that bill? Whom did the drug wholesalers hold responsible for that bill?
I have some questions about the Brian Roberts' drug bust:
Was Ayla ever in that apartment?
Did she ever place a single footstep in that apartment?
Was she there for drug transactions, Justin?
Did she witness people coming and going?
And now much, much worse:
Did those coming and going witness a pretty little girl there and think to themselves...that's a marker; that's a surety, that's a guarantee these people will pay?
Trista's made a lot of mistakes in her young life, with likely the biggest mistake of becoming involved with Justin DiPietro, but police know that she was not involved.
3. The lies
If Trista had kidnapped Ayla, she would leave Justin DiPietro with no reason to lie; no reason for deceptive statements, no reason to fail a polygraph.
4. The life insurance policy.
Did Trista meet with Tudela and pay the premium? Was she the out of work single father purchasing insurance against Ayla's life?
5. The spilled blood.
The blood that was spilled was significant. We will likely learn that, even without a body, it may be enough for medical science to conclude that Ayla Reynolds died in that basement when she met with foul play and that the three that are withholding information have a very real and selfish reason to withhold information.
Some may be glad that they have stuck to their stories because had one of them cracked, maybe only two would meet with justice, but with all three holding to the same story (police revealed this to us), we can trust that all three will face the same charges.
I hope that the three read the news and have seen Detroit prosecutors have arrested and charged a father who reported his child had been 'kidnapped' even though they have yet to find his tiny body.
Maine prosecutors are not going to let this go. They are not going to let this turn cold.
The public is angry.
She had an alibi; he offered a kidnapping story that could not withstand the scrutiny of evidence or even seasoned and well trained FBI abduction unit's ability to keep a straight face.
