Mother of 20-month-old toddler who went missing 7 years ago sues absconding husband
Trista Reynolds has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Justin DiPetro, the father of their daughter Ayla who went missing more than seven years ago.
A Maine mother who last saw her daughter over seven years ago has now filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the child's father, whom the toddler was last seen with before she suddenly disappeared.
Trista Reynolds alleges in the lawsuit that Justin DiPietro is responsible for the death of daughter Ayla, who was just 20-months-old when she went missing in December 2011.
Ayla's disappearance sparked what would become the largest criminal investigation in the state's history, and while her body has never been found, a judge declared the toddler legally dead in 2017. According to People, Reynolds has never stopped searching for answers and hopes that this lawsuit will help authorities locate DiPietro, whose current whereabouts are unknown.
