Three days have passed since police say Ayla Reynolds, 20-months-old, was last seen.  Ayla was last seen sleeping in her bed around 8 p.m. on Friday night.  Her father reported her missing the next morning around 9 a.m.  The FBI is now assisting with this case and are looking into the disappearance as a possible abduction. 

Volunteers, police and firefighters spent the weekend looking for Ayla.  She was last seen wearing green and polka dot one-piece pajamas and wearing a soft cast from a broken arm.  Investigators say there were several adults inside the home on Friday evening when the toddler went to sleep and at least one of them was not a family member.

Ayla’s pajamas had the words “Daddy’s Princess” on them. She stands 2 feet 9 inches tall, and weighs about 30 pounds.  If you have any information, please contact the Waterville Police Department at 207-680-4700.

GROUND SEARCH BACK ON

Saturday, January 9th, 2010
Marc Bookal missing

Marc Bookal missing

The ground search for Marc Bookal is back on after investigators received a lead that sent them back to the neighborhood the toddler went missing from.  Authorities began searching the area around Benkard Avenue as well as inside and outside Liberty Street School in the area on Friday morning and will continue until the lead is exhausted. 

Marc Bookal was reported missing by his mother’s boyfriend, Cory Byrd on December 14, 2009.  Marc’s family has gone through the freezing weather and the holidays without their child, and earlier this week, police called off the ground search.  The child hasn’t been seen since Byrd told police that he found the downstairs door open to their home, and Marc missing.  Earlier this week, police told me they called off the ground search to locate Marc, but the investigation to find out what happened to him is still on going.

Marc Bookal Missing

Marc Bookal Missing

Investigators continue to search the Hudson River and surrounding areas for 4-year-old Marc Bookal. Every single night since the toddler went missing, temperatures have dipped below freezing. Fliers are posted throughout the community, and all police resources are maxed out. I spoke with Sgt. Toomey with the Newburgh Police in New York. He says Marc was reported missing by his mother’s boyfriend, Cory Byrd on December 14, 2009 around 1:10 p.m. Byrd told police he went downstairs, the door was open, and Marc was gone. Sgt. Toomy says Byrd told them he thought the child went a few steps away in an adjacent building to visit his aunt, something he did frequently. The toddler has discoloration on the back of his hands from a recent burn injury, and he was last seen wearing a red long sleeved shirt, gray sweatpants, and Nike shoes.
