AUGUSTA, Maine — A spokesman for the Maine State Police confirmed Sunday that blood samples taken from Justin DiPietro’s home last month belong to Ayla Reynolds.
Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland told the Bangor Daily News on Sunday evening that more testing is pending on blood samples and a slew of other material taken from DiPietro’s home in the days following Reynolds’ disappearance, but that investigators have determined blood found in the home is Ayla’s. Justin DiPietro is Ayla’s father. He reported her missing from his Waterville home on the morning of Dec. 17.
“Our first priority is finding Ayla,” said McCausland. At one point the spokesman said “some of the samples taken from the home were Ayla’s.” Asked if investigators have found anyone else’s blood, McCausland declined to respond, citing the ongoing investigation. He also declined to say how much blood was found or what objects or areas it was found in or on.
