The search for the toddler from Waterville, Maine, expanded yesterday, with police searching the Messalonskee Stream by land, boat, and plane.
Today, searchers were seen looking through garbage dumpsters a few miles from the home.
Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey says the stream is only an eighth of a mile away from the home where Ayla was last seen.
The 20-month-old was reported missing from her crib Saturday morning.
