WATERVILLE -- Two maternal relatives of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds have taken polygraph exams, according to a website dedicated to finding the child.
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.
Hanson said she offered to suspend her medication and retake the exam later, but police didn't offer a direct response, she said.
"They didn't say yes, they didn't say no. They just said they didn't think it was necessary," she said.
Ronnie Reynolds, Ayla's uncle, took his exam Thursday at the Maine State Police barracks in Gray, and passed it, according to Jeff Hanson -- Becca Hanson's husband and webmaster for aylareynolds.com.
Ronnie Reynolds was unavailable for comment Friday.
