WATERVILLE, Maine — Police said Thursday that it is highly unlikely missing toddler Ayla Reynolds will be found alive but said the investigation and search will continue.
“We think it is highly unlikely Ayla Reynolds will be found alive,” Maine Department of Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland said at a Thursday afternoon press conference. “Nothing points in that direction.”
Ayla’s parents were notified Thursday for the first time that police believe it is unlikely she is still alive. Officials met Tuesday morning to review the case and made the determination, McCausland said.
Ayla’s mother, Trista Reynolds, was thankful for the information, McCausland said. Ayla’s father was more reserved.
“His reaction was no reaction,” McCausland said.
