Ayla Reynolds was just a little more than 19 months old when she disappeared. She was last seen the night before in her crib. At 8:51a.m. the next morning Justin Dipietro called 911 emergency services to report his daughter missing. That call set off a chain of events that eventually grew into the largest criminal investigation in Maine’s history. Join us in the garage for the details of this ongoing investigation.
