The father of Ayla Reynolds broke his silence in an interview with Crime Watch Daily, with accusations of what he says he believes happened to her.
The TV show, hosted by Chris Hansen, interviews Justin DiPietro, as well as Ayla's mother, Trista Reynolds.
20-month-old Ayla was staying with DiPietro at his mother's home when she disappeared in December 2011. Ayla's disappearance triggered the largest search and investigation in Maine history.

Trista has said she wanted her daughter declared dead so that she could file a wrongful death lawsuit against Ayla's father DiPietro.
Police have said they also believed Ayla was dead after an extensive investigation that spread across the state of Maine and the nation did not turn up any signs of the toddler.

Below is an excerpt of what Crime Watch Daily says happened during their encounter with DiPietro.
-------------
When I met you that morning, you said that maybe someone you know had something to do with it. Who do you think would've taken her?
"It's always been the same person that I thought it was from the beginning," said Justin.
Who do you think it is -- is it her mom, a relative?
"Yeah, I think it's someone close to her," he said.
Were there signs in your house indicating that someone was in there?
"Yeah, it's two things that were suspicious, of course," said Justin.
What were those two things? In her room?
"I can't get into exact details with you guys, but," he said.
It was enough for you to think that this was planned and someone broke in and took her that night?
"Absolutely."
Did you tell police, and what was their reaction? Are they looking into that?
"I haven't gotten a lot of answers on a lot of things," said Justin.
