A little altar for Ayla Reynolds

“I grew up in Catonsville, Maryland.

Most people believe it was a cover-up by authorities and that she was murdered by Maskell.

However, he was never charged, and the school has since closed.

Sture Bergwall

Maskell was eventually removed from the ministry in 1994.

Fuck that guy.”

"Shirt the body was found wearing"

It was certainly an experience to see that many police cars during a regular grocery store visit.

He lived right next to the school so pretty much everyone witnessed the raid.

His house was basically full of stolen items, drugs, weapons, and inappropriate content of children.

He had tasers and guns (no permit).

Just last year, someone found their stash of stolen items hidden in a truck in the woods.”

“Live in a small town in East Texas.

A scientist who lived in the town apparently captured all the monkeys and started doing horrible experiments on them.

Him, the monkeys, and his wife are all buried on the property.

Theres a bunch of wild stories from this town, though.

Tunnels underground that make a pentagram.

Just East Texas stuff.”

While in the care of her father, 19-month-old Ayla Reynolds just disappeared.

And if they do, they’re not telling.

“I am from a town of 1,220 people but no longer live there.

It doesn’t help that pretty much anyone over 16 can get served there.

They just tell you to hide it if anyone you don’t know comes in.”

He got caught in a ‘sting operation.’

He was caught frequenting a local park late at night for the purpose of sexual relations with minor boys.

“Had a male teacher who married one of his students after high school.

He was still married at the time [he met her] and had kids, too.

Then the student became a teacher at the SAME school with the teacher she married.

There was a good 20-year age gap, and she had kids with him, too.

She was a student counselor, and he was a history teacher when I was at school there.

One of the biggest scandals in my small town.”

He was pretty much the boogeyman of my childhood.

“Blink while driving through my home town, and you would miss it.

Definitely farm country and lots of woods with natural lime pits.

She was never seen again.

The husband was never charged and moved away, so most thought.

Years later, I heard my uncle telling my mom that they will never find his body.”

“Not me, but my mom.

They don’t even have their own police force.

It’s an everyone knows everyone punch in deal.

My mom keeps up with the town news because her aunt and several cousins still live there.

THE TOWN WAS SHOOK.

His wife resigned as superintendent.

They abandoned their house in town.

So…. Unsure where this case is now and if they found other people willing to come forward.

“A family moved to town after one of those shows that build a house for people in need.

However, months later the police showed up at their house.

Not only had the husband embezzled money from his previous job, their kid was not ill.

When the police got there, the house was totally vacant.

All the furniture was gone, no cars, nothing.”

Because that’s how the police tracked the dad down about the embezzlement.”

All they had to go on was the T-shirt it was wearing and a surgical scar.

No leads on identification or suspect.

I guess it didn’t appear to be either shark-related or ship propellor-related."

“Our small town has 683 homes, 10 houses, and 6 churches.

For a community that has very little tax revenue, its a huge blow.

To this day, she still lives within this community of 1,600 people.”

“I grew up in a city known for its public schools.

In the span of one year, two teachers were arrested for possession of child sexual abuse material.

Things were about to go down.

But why is he staring up at the rotunda?
