Maine State Police released a statement tonight blasting a Boston TV station report that police believe 21-month-old Ayla Reynolds is dead as “unattributed, irresponsible and inaccurate.”
Citing unnamed police sources, WCVB’s Michele McPhee reported today that the missing toddler was believed dead and that the search for her body had intensified.
State police spokesman Steve McCausland, however, said in a statement shortly after 8:30 p.m. tonight that police “have said from the beginning of this case that we remain hopeful for Ayla Reynold’s safe return, but grow more concerned as time passes.”
“Nothing has changed that belief,” McCausland said.
