State LE?:
Thanking community for their work and help.
Waterville PD is commited to the case. Continue to work on it. No matter how long it takes.
McCausland:
To someone witholding info, the reward will be over in 30 days. Thre will be more searches, dives and interviews.
Based on everything they know, searches, dives, etc. Everything points to Ayla not being alive. Nothing positive that points to her being alive. Not going to have a happy ending. Specifics are kept to themselves.
Items pulled out of the river jam. They are still being analyzed. Will not disclose or detail what they recovered. Will go back in the future to look for more items.
Focus will continue to finding Ayla.
Tuesday morning they decided to do a press conference as to where they are in this case.
Premature on charging someone. Want to find Ayla first. The family in the home know more than what they are saying. Will not talk about suspects. Not a lot of communication bet. LE and the 3 adults in the house that night.
Leads are still coming in. 1,127 tips. Leads are slower now.
Will not say specifics about what was found in the river.
June 30th significance: Business community wanted to end the reward on that day.
Investigation will never end until they find her.
Items from river still being analized, as well as items from the home?
There was going to be a news conference about the reward so LE got together and decided to share at what stage they are in the investigation.
Biggest reward in State history.
Ayla was not abducted from inside that home.
There will be more searches, land and water.
This is not CSI. This case will take time to be resolved. Will end when they find Ayla.
Justin and adults in the house have the answers. He believes Justin knows more than he is telling them. The other two adults may as well.
Not talking about charging someone.
This is a criminal investigation and foul play is involved.
Justin is free to go as you and I are.
If someone wants the generous reward they have until the 30th to collect it.
Parents were called around noon today and told about Conference. Wanted to tell them before the media. Mom was thankful for the call. Justin had not reaction.
State and Waterville poice will be working together.
End of Presser.
