The Tragic Disappearance of Ayla Reynolds: Maine’s Largest Missing Child Investigation
*Information is obtained from the Where are they? Podcast and other online sources as cited**
Ayla Reynolds, a 20-month-old, blonde-haired, blue-eyed toddler, loved to carry her baby doll around with her.
It was 2011, and Ayla wasn’t quite 2 years old, but her short life had already been turned upside down.
In November, she was abruptly removed from the family she had been living with. Her mother’s family. Her mother, Trista, had recently entered rehab.
Ayla’s father, who had been a very uninvolved dad up until that point, had decided to file for custody. Ayla was forcefully removed from her mother’s family and given to her father, Justin DiPietro.
Emotions were high for the next couple of weeks between the two families, but everything would change on the morning of December 17, 2011, when Justin called 911 to report his daughter missing. She had somehow, suddenly, disappeared during the night from her bed.
Ayla Reynolds has never been seen or heard from again.
