Missing ME toddler's blood found in father's home WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) - Some of the blood found in a Maine home where a missing toddler was last seen six weeks ago belonged to the little girl, an official said Sunday. State Police spokesman Steve McCausland would not say how much of Ayla Reynolds' blood was found in her father's home in Waterville, where exactly it was found or how long it might have been there. But investigators told Ayla's mother's family that the amount of blood was "more blood than a small cut would produce," according to family-run website. "Even in light of this evidence we are more determined than ever to find out what has happened to Ayla and we still cling to the hope that she is alive and will be returned to us," the website said. We urge anyone that has information about Ayla to come forward now and unburden yourself of the truth. He had put her to bed the night before and said she wasn't there the next morning. DiPietro could not be immediately be reached for comment Sunday; his cellphone voicemail was full and unable to accept messages. The blood was among hundreds of pieces of potential evidence that were removed from the Waterville home as part of a criminal investigation into the girl's disappearance. The discovery of the blood and the confirmation that some of it belonged to Ayla was first reported by WCVB-TV in Boston. DiPietro, his mother and a third adult were home the night of Dec. 16, and police have questioned all three, McCausland said Saturday. Both of Ayla's parents participated in a vigil Saturday on the City Hall steps in downtown Waterville. At the vigil, DiPietro declined to discuss the discovery of the blood. "I'm not going to answer any questions about it, but I will say this: If there was something there, I don't think I'd be standing here with you right now," he told the Morning Sentinel newspaper in Waterville.
