This can’t be good, blood found inside the home of missing missing 20 month old Ayla Reynolds.

20 month old Ayla Reynolds has been missing since December 17, 2011 when she was reported missing by her father Justin DiPietro.   Tha father told police he believed his daughter was snatched from her bedroom in his Waterville, Maine home.

Days later following the search for missing  Ayla Reynolds, law enforcement stated that the case had evolved from the search for a missing child to a “criminal investigation.” As reported at WCVB-TV in Boston, they know know why the case turned to a criminal investigation, as blood was reported to be found at the in the home. It is now being determined whose blood it is and how long it has been there.

Multiple law enforcement sources have told McPhee that blood was found inside the home.

Maine State Police have now confirmed blood was found in the basement of the home at 29 Violette Ave.

Authorities said the crime lab is still working to determine whose blood it is, and how long it had been in the basement.

Multiple law enforcement sources also told Team 5 Investigates that Reynolds’ father left the police station when he was shown crime scene photos of luminol-enhanced blood stains taken at the home.

Two maternal relatives of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds have taken polygraph exams. Previously, Ayla’s mother, Trista Reynolds, took a polygraph exam January 18; however, was not able to complete it due to a medical condition.  Also, Ayla’s father, Justin DiPietro, took a polygraph test as well DiPietro says police did not provide him with the results. The police say that is not the case and they did.

Ayla’s uncle passed the exam, while Ayla’s grandmother was unable to complete it, according to aylareynolds.com.

In an interview with the Morning Sentinel, Becca Hanson, Ayla’s grandmother, declined to discuss the exam’s specific questions, but said she told the polygraph examiner she had nothing to do with 21-month-old toddler’s disappearance.

The exam was administered Friday by Maine State Police at Cumberland County Jail in Portland, she said, but the polygraph administrator couldn’t conclude the exam because Hanson’s daily medications interfered with the results. Hanson takes “muscle relaxers, pain-killers, depression medication and an antibiotic,” she said.
