Summary

Ayla Reynolds, a toddler from Waterville, Maine disappeared from her father's home during the night of December 16, 2011. She was put to bed at 8pm, but was not there in the morning. The case was the largest criminal investigation in Maine's history-- and one of the largest missing children cases ever. To this day her status and whereabouts are unknown. Circumstances and forensic evidence suggest her father Justin may be responsible for her death, but her mother's dubious behavior before and after the incident have made the case thus far un-prosecutable in court. Before the deep dive on the missing child, Kendra also has her say on a recent officer involved use of force in Stockton, CA. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1:04.8	To end policing as we know it.
