A young mom of three accused of poisoning her hubby’s iced-tea with liquid nicotine then convincing her young lover to fatally bludgeon her hubby to death with a shovel!

Police say missing Maine toddler Ayla Reynolds’ blood was found in her father’s basement bedroom, although they are staying tight-lipped about any other specifics of what they discovered, such as exactly where the blood was, how much there was and if anyone else’s blood was present.
“I can’t get into any of those details, Nancy, other than I can confirm some of the blood was Ayla’s,” Maine State Police spokesman Stephen McCausland told HLN’s Nancy Grace Monday.
Ayla’s father, Justin DiPietro, reported her missing on Dec. 17 when he claimed that she disappeared from her bed in the middle of the night while he, his girlfriend, his sister and two other small children were sleeping in his Waterville home. DiPietro, his girlfriend and her son normally stayed in the basement and Ayla slept in one of the bedrooms on the ground floor, according to CNN.
The family of Ayla’s mother, Trista Reynolds, posted on their website Sunday that police told them there was “more blood than a small cut would produce” in DiPietro’s basement. Police have confirmed to CNN that some of the blood was visible to the naked eye and some was uncovered using the chemical Luminol.
As the investigation enters its seventh week, McCausland said police are releasing the information about the blood now in hopes of spurring new tips. They do not think the three adults in the home that night have told them everything they know, and they have a lot of doubts about the story the three did give them.
“There is not one piece of evidence at this point that leads us to believe that an abduction took place…The story of Ayla being abducted just does not pass the straight-face test,” McCausland said Monday.
No suspects have been named in Ayla’s disappearance. A $30,000 reward has been offered in the case.

An Oklahoma man who reported his pregnant wife missing in December was arrested Friday on two counts of first-degree murder for her death and the death of her unborn child.
Justin Adams’ arrest came about seven weeks after he claimed to Oklahoma City police that Jaymie Adams, his 25-year-old wife who was six months pregnant with their child, had been prostituting herself on Craigslist and that she disappeared after going to meet a client, according to court documents. The documents also state that Adams took a polygraph test and was found deceptive on the question of whether he knew where his wife was.
Jaymie Adams’ body was found near a dirt bike trail on January 7. The deaths of her and the unborn baby were ruled homicides, but the cause of death was not released.
An arrest warrant affidavit states that police obtained evidence from witness interviews, cell phone records, email accounts and the internet that was inconsistent with the story Justin Adams was telling them. Investigators discovered information indicating that Justin and Jaymie’s relationship was “physically violent” and that Jaymie actually reported being assaulted by him in the month before her disappearance.
According to the Oklahoman newspaper, Grady County deputies did respond to a domestic disturbance call at the couple’s Blanchard home during that month, but neither party wanted to pursue the case at the time.
KOCO reported that Justin Adams’ mother, Tina Clarke, told reporters after his arrest that she believes he is innocent.
“The only thing my son is guilty of is trying to find his wife,” she said.
As the four Republicans vying for their party's presidential nomination took the stage for a debate in Jacksonville Thursday night, HLN's Nancy Grace focused on the impact their policies and positions could have on victims of crime.
Grace said she was stunned that Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich's opposition to abortion extends to victims of rape and incest impregnated by their attackers.
"It's not just about the fetus itself. It's about the crime victim, the rape or the incest victim, that will have to live with a pregnancy and then give birth to the product of a rape," Grace said.
Grace also questioned Rep. Ron Paul's past opposition to a national Amber Alert system, but child advocate Marc Klaas echoed the congressman's concerns about imposing federal control on a program that was already working effectively on a state level.
Klaas, whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and murdered in 1993, said, "The Amber Alert system as it was originally conceived in Texas was a pristine system that used local law enforcement to notify local media to notify a local population but… quite frankly it's been morphed into a federal bureaucracy."
