Pink boots along river only sign of missing girl

They know that the Aroostook leads straight into Canada. We rushed there as fast we could, but I'm not sure how much luck we are going to have A tiny pair of pink boots. That's the only sign of Alexandra Winship-Wright that searchers on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border have managed to find since the three-year-old girl vanished from her home in ... via Theglobeandmail.com

I don't think the mother of this girl has a very credible story and given her history...the little girl had been found by an off duty cop the week before, she was walking alone up by R&J's market. The child care services had taken all three of her kids away a week or so before...she's was caught furnishing alcohol to minors. The oldest child 5 years was given to her father. That left the Mother with the 3 year old and a 1 year old. Now they've taken the 1 year old away from her.

I hope the mother gets jail time, frankly.

[the searching group]

I am a volunteer who helped search for allie. Also I had a group of friends who were also searching all hours of the day and night. The mother of the little girl didn't even thank the people who helped and are continuing to help for the search of Allie. I dont understand as a mother myself why she was not even searching for her daughter she even put a blue blanket over her appartment door I would be searching nonstop. Mandy wnet to wal mart in presque isle asking for donation of 4,000 for a casket and head stone. And may i remind you thais was the same night her little girl went missing. She also put a can for donations in the local town stores of fort fairfield. The group had some hope prayer cards made up with allies picture on it and the mother didn't even aknowledge it. Also for the record who cares when or what time the other child was taken but at least she isnt their anymore. And we pray that the other child doesn't return to the mother mandy.

[the searching group]

The system failed the little girl by not taking the little girl from her mother from the first time she went missing. It is sad how a child has to pay the conquences for the mothers poor judgement and past behavior wasn't enough to remove the child from the mother's care. We will continue to search and pray for allie to be found safe and ask for anyone who has time to search for this little girl and get some answers for her dissapearance.

I am not sure where Jbrook gets her information or how anyone can make statements without knowing the whole story. Everyone is commenting on the information given by the news when they do not know the complete facts. I am sure that if this had happened in their family they would be thinking differently. Judge not least you be judged. I feel terrible for this young mother.

[Kathy]

There is something wrong here, because living in Fort Fairfield there was three different statements the mother told police. So we may never know what actually happened. The only one that will not enjoy growing up and someday having her own family is Allie.

I live in Madison, Wisconsin, and stumbled on this story by accident at the beginning of May. I saw the picture of that adorable little girl and instantly fell in love with her. I google her name every day to see if there is anything new, but all I'm finding is old news stories. Has there been any new developments. Will someone please email me if/when they find this precious baby girl. My email address: [e-mail]

The baby is back with the mother. She dropped all the charges against the father and he got custody and they are back together. How is that for the justice system?

I'm a relative of mandy and I can tell you that what I saw on the news of her was so fake. I haven't had contact with her for many years because I disagreed with her lifestyle I remember her two oldest as babies. I can honestly say I hope they finally can figure out that she's to blame. i fell that mandy did something really bad this time (i.e not just neglect, as bad as that is alone. I just recantly had my own daughter and am disgusted with her lack of caring for her kids. i can say that I know from talking with her every now and again that she has resented every one of them, but didn't want to have another abortion because she didn't want to look bad, it's sicking that people like this are out there and I'm ashamed to say she's related to me!

[young mother from tobique]

i'm glad someone started this topic i was starting to feel like the only one who thought it was "planned" in a way- I honestly do not have smapathy for the MOTHER
believing thqat she now has what she wants- which is not to be a mother- aleast of one- i thought it was rather odd how she assumed the little girl was deid- I know other mothers like her- and hope one day- the system wont favor having the children with theeir natural parents- to avoid adoption- thse children deserve a chance to become everything they can- to exprience a happy childhood and adult life- parents like hers, should not get away with it even tho we know most will

[Angiek]

ok, someone please tell me, will there be Justice for Allie, every single comment pretty much that I have read all points to her mother, I don't want to put blame here but really honestly the first time that I read her story it was not believable, I have sliding doors and I live in a house not an apartment and I can hear VERY clearly when someone is opening them, my little girl (same age) stuggles to open it herself and when I am in the washroom I can HEAR my children and notice if there is silence, plus I leave the bathroom door open which does not matter because they are usually with me, they would not have time to do this and leave the home on their own, HELLO, was she not found wandering the week before, where the heck was her mother? I am sorry but to me the situation is pretty clear. I am the same as others, we did not know Allie but once we heard it on the news, we checked everyday in hopes that she was ok, and we prayed for her. This little girls face still haunts me today because it should not have happened!!!!!!!!!! Would she go to the water on her own? How easily could she have fallen in? Did she have some "help" in that matter? I hope that it is not true that her mother was looking for donations and I hope that she does not have her other children back, where is the Justice for Allie and other children in situations? Allie's family that loved her must be devastated and my heart goes out to them, and to all who helped look for her as well. Someone knows the answers

Yes, she has the youngest in her care again, father has custody but they are together. I am allies aunt and no I don't think she would have gone to the river herself. about 2 of her three years she practically lived down here with her grandmother. We live on a Island surrounded by water. We taught her from the begining she could never go near the water or the pool without her life jacket and an adult. she always grabbed her life jacket and tugged her grandmother along so she could go to the water. when her older sister would come down, allie would tell her you need your lifejacket and wait for nanny. My bet is mandy was sleeping when she shouldn't have been she always slept during the day because she was up all night. you can't tell a 3 year old stay in your room etc. so mommy can sleep. I walked in on her many times when shes sleeping and the kids had the run of the house. Don't get me wrong yes we all take naps when our kids are little when we can, but always nap with one eye open. The minute she found allie missing she should have automatically called the cops. why wait about 2 hours??? if you have a infant at home also, you bundle them up and go looking. you don't wait. so yes I'm mandys aunt and I totally think shes at blame because this NEVER should have happen. the doation cans are out again. But fort fairfield is paying for the funeral. so why do you need the cans is my question. the only thing the parents need to get is the plot. and one already has been donated if they wanted it. at least allie would be with family.

To Dina:
I cannot imagine the pain that you are feeling right now, I just can't. My thoughts and prayers are with you. My oldest daughter (she is 5 and my younger one is 3) and she asked about "baby alexandria" and if she was now in heaven. This is a tragedy and I know that no one should probably put blame but it sounds like from what happened the week before she fell in the river her mother lost her, that is scary because it turly could have been avoided. I have learned in life that terrible things happen to good people but I believer hte people who have no conscious will be held accountable someday. You will see Allie again someday. Her mother obviously has no idea the precious gift of children, I am thankful everyday for my girls and they are my life so it is hard for me to understand how this mother could be like this, are they pressing any charges of neglect?

[Dina of Deer Isle]

To Angiek,
It's not just my pain. It's the pain of the two people who mattered to her the most and that was her nanny and papa. she thought the world of her papa. He's a truck driver and she has been with him a few times in the truck. It was hers and papas truck. Theres so many memories. and thats all we now have. It is so sad and never should have happen. For anyone that knew her they were blessed to have known her for 3 years. And yes I do believe that judgement day will come for mandy and that she won't be able to lie her way out of this one. I can't comment on to much of what is going on, except in my heart the day is comming that she will pay. my e-mail address is [e-mail] somethings can't be posted on here. feel free to write. I do want to thank everyone who has had a hand in searching I've said this many times in the past couple weeks, GOD BLESS YA ALL YOUR IN OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS AND THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING UP FOR ALLIES SAKE. LOVE YA ALL Dina

FORT FAIRFIELD IS NOT PAYING FOR THE FUNERAL. YOU MAY CALL DORSEY'S FUNERAL HOME AND ASK. THIS IS ALL RUMOR. I KNOW BECAUSE I PERSONALLY TALKED TO MR. GIBERSON MYSELF.
