Ayla ReynoldsAyla Reynolds, The father of missing Maine toddler Ayla Reynolds, who vanished three weeks ago, says his daughter broke her arm when he was carrying her in one arm and groceries in the other, accidentally slipped and fell on top of her.

“That was completely accidental,” Justin DiPietro said of Ayla’s injury, according to the Morning Sentinel of Waterville. “I would never harm my daughter.

“I was carrying her,” he told the Morning Sentinel. “Usually I let her walk, but it was raining out that night and it was dark. I came up the stairs and slipped. It happened so fast, I don’t know exactly how I fell on her, but I fell on her. It’s burned into my brain.”

DiPietro said he decided to speak out about the incident to end speculation.

“There’s value in explaining it,” DiPietro told the newspaper. “But to me, I know what the truth is, and it’s unbelievable for people to make the accusations that they’ve made.”
