Missing toddler Ayla Reynolds from Waterville, ME; interview with father
http://www.wcsh6.com/video/1360488968001/1/Aylas-Father-Justin-DiPi
This 20 month old toddler has been missing since December 16, 2011; she was staying at her father's house when he noticed that she was missing from her bed and called 911. Here is a link to the time table of events: http://www.pressherald.com/news/a-timeline-in-the-ayla-reynolds-investigation_2012-01-01.html. I love reading your blog and wonder what you think about this case. Specifically, I wonder if the father is involved but his interview above confuses me.

Good observations!

also, when asked about his relationship with his daughter, he finds it very difficult to answer. first he says 'I can tell you what I'm not', which is an odd thing to say, followed by 'i love my daughter'. Doesn't make sense!

during this interview, apart from the total lack of emotion, when he's asked directly about what happened the night Ayla went missing, he has several unfinished sentences and his speech is broken up - why is he censoring himself? And then he does a HUGE lip compression and licks his lips - what has made him nervous at this particular point?

here is the mother speaking at the vigil - very strange. It looks to me like she's high - I hope that's all it is. I don't believe the father. -

Thanks for recommending, Heather. I'd also like to know what your perspective is on this, Eyes. The story on the father's part has changed several times, but it appears to be linked to some confusion between the family & police @start of investigation.
