Article from CT Insider about the UNH interviews of Colangelo and "Horn-less":


Quotes from article:

"Jennifer Dulos may have been restrained with 3-foot-long zip ties and alive when she was taken from her New Canaan home by Fotis Dulos in May 2019, former prosecutor Richard Colangelo told college students studying journalism earlier this year".

"We don't know if she was dead when he took her out of New Canaan or not," Colangelo said. "My theory was she wasn't."

Colangelo made the revelation and others — such as his belief that Jennifer Dulos may be buried in the expansive property in Farmington near where she previously lived — during a talk in late March with University of New Haven students studying journalism with columnist and adjunct professor Andre Thibault.

Comment:
The Colangelo zip tie comment and theory is imo facinating as its been long speculated about here in WS many threads ago. The purpose of the zip ties speculation has included everything from carrying JF, restraining a deceased JF, restraining an alive JF to securing a plastic wrapped deceased JF and other ideas. Playing out kidnapping charges for FD and MT and KM is also facinating as the sentencing impact upon conviction could be significant.

The idea of kidnapping charges being discussed by Colangelo is interesting too as this was long ago speculated about here in WS and if this was proven might have easily doubled her current imo puny sentence. BUT, I do wonder if FD had been charged with kidnapping whether MT would have gotten another conspiracy to commit kidnapping charge? Among the many things that have long bothered me about the timeline are the sizable gaps in multiple locations for all three conspirators: FD, MT and KM. The White Jeep in particular was something that I wish we had more data about or visibility on as it was primarily driven by MT and she had time gaps even during the period when law enforcement was trying to track her historical movement using local camera sources and her cell phone (before it was tossed from her trial).

What we heard at the MT about the forensic testing on the White Jeep wasn't imo all that encouraging in its depth and I was never convinced that it was fully scrubbed by CSP imo. We know from the testimony that Det Kimball talked about the White Jeep with his famous quote to MT about her organization and cleanliness standards, "You weren't that organized or You weren't that clean" when referring to ALL the many many receipts she allegedly kept for purposes of child support or possible tax dodging (who knows!). It baffles me that millions were spent by CSP on the JF investigation and yet it seems that not all that much was done with the White Jeep other than iirc spraying it down with luminol? Don't get this aspect of the investigation and would love to ask Det. Kimball about it as it seemed to be an afterthought imo.

We saw cleaning supplies in the rear of the Jeep (who drives around with clean supplies in their SUV other than cleaners)? We never heard if the Jeep (like the Tacoma) was subject to a "Russell Speeder Special Cleaning"?

IDK, so many unanswered questions and I just had the sense that this vehicle played some role that was not defined by the timeline at trial. Did MT perhaps drive the plastic wrapped JF body someplace or perhaps deliver it to some unknown person (cue the local Albanian connections of FD and KM that were supposedly investigated by CSP but we never heard any details about them or their possible role at the MT trial - perhaps it will come up at any KM trial)?

Colangelo seems convinced that the JF body made it back to Farmington. I would feel more comfortable with this speculation by him if he could explain the FD time gap in New Canaan and also account for all the movements in NC of the Tacoma and the JF Suburban. I still think there was time in NC to pass the body of JF to someone else imo absent any information to the contrary.

IDK, the MT long unclear comment, "I wasn't cleaning Jennifer" is something that imo haunts this entire discussion of the tragic murder and the roles played by the various conspirators. At a minimum imo this comment from MT implies GREAT KNOWLEDGE as to who was doing what and to whom and where with the murder of JF. I've played this comment out in my head in Spanish and English and both lead in similar directions in terms of what MT might have been talking about regarding the body of JF imo. MT comment is also pointing the finger at someone else "cleaning Jennifer" but its not clear if its FD or KM or someone else? KM we know is a longstanding hunter and FD grew up in/around the tanning business and did big game fishing with MT and so all three had 'cleaning' experience imo. What did MT mean with this comment?

But, I also wonder if the MT comment might be confirmation in a way that the Colangelo comment about the JF body coming back to Farmington is correct as we know (or think we know) that MT wasn't in NC on the murder date. We sadly don't know if she was in NC after the murder date and we don't know the location of KM on the murder date after he left 4JX (this was timestamped in MT trial on video iirc). I do wonder if the body was left in NC and then retrieved by one/or more/or all of the conspirators at a later date? The long ago (now removed) Gray Hughes theory of how far FD could have traveled in NC during the time gap on the murder date also haunts me as FD had extensive knowledge of the border area of Fairfield and Westchester Counties due to working on GF house in Pound Ridge and going there with his family and JF for years. This border area is wooded and not densely populated like the Merritt and 95 corridor in NC. There are many single lane back roads and not much traffic. This area also has various large bodies of water and we know that CSP did look at the GF property in Pound Ridge and did look at the pond adjacent to her property.

What I find odd too is that with all of the video footage gathered in NC (think it was over 300 videos iirc) that there are still gaps in the timeline. Were all of the bus cam videos looked at or just specific ones? Why was the original ask from NCPD for video footage very specific as to location and time and why not go broader in order to get the full timeline? IIRC the FD timeline gap in NC was roughly 40 min or thereabouts and I just don't understand how LE can't fill it? Its also tough because there were few official NC cameras or road cameras at the time of the murder (longstanding battles about privacy in town etc.). But, many houses have solid security imo and so it just seems like if LE wanted to fill out the timeline that they could do so. We also don't know for the footage that they did gather whether the only two vehicles of interest were the JF Suburban and the PG Tacoma. I presume that they also followed the Raptor driven by PG but this timeline in NC on murder date imo wasn't fully developed at MT trial which is bothersome imo. Would PG have heard someone at Sturbridge if he were working say in the basement or second floor? There was no security camera at Sturbridge so far as we are aware. Wonder why as this is pretty typical in the area with construction sites due to theft of expensive materials. We know that PG left for lunch (place allegedly unknown) I believe around noon and so he wouldn't have been at Sturbridge presumably. But, could the body have been left at Sturbridge and then retrieved later by FD or someone else? Sturbridge was checked as was its septic tank iirc. But, was the dumpster on site fully investigated?

FD may have been aware of old tanks, capped wells on those properties. Something was time consuming.

Cleaning Jennifer. Like one would clean a swordfish? Like the mafia might eliminate heads, hands and tattoos?

There's a missing rug IMO.

The ponchos were bloody. Just from contact or from procedure? How easy to have a pre-dug grave in that wooded area, twin to the one at the gun club. But that wouldn't require a huge amount of time. Even dividing out evidence into individual trash bags wouldn't take a great deal of time, though it should account for blood transfer on ponchos.

If he already fashioned a trash bag body bag, why didn't he stop there?

That's really telling if you think about it. He removed those bags. Why? His next step required further steps. He had more to do. It's ghastly, how ever you look at it.

Why remove zip ties, why her clothing? What about whereheput her required that?

I can't unsee that photo of FD on the stoop, sweeping. Sweeping like he knew how. Sweeping and smirking.

How hard to jack up a concrete stoop and replace it? All in a days' work. MT perched at an upper window watching for visitors. Buried in the basement. Buried in a tank/well. IMO he wasn't improvising. Whatever it was, he had it prepared ahead of time.

And all before cadaverine would tell on him, especially if she were still any kind of alive when brought to 80 MS.

No way IMO FD didn't know about the clandestine grave at the gun club, and no way IMO KM and likely MT herself didn't know what FD had in store. He might not have trusted volatile MT with terminal data though. But KM? They were thick. As thieves. Kindred, united in their superiority over their exing wives.

KM knows. MT has a pretty good idea.

But KM has everything to lose by saying so ... so he won't. And FD knew that.

Never intended to be found. And that being the case, why did he do something beyond the bodybag? It HAS TO BE that her final resting place(s) couldn't accommodate it thusly. AND it wasn't suitable/large enough for the contents of the trash bags.

My radius is 80 MS to the Deercliff property.

Didn’t Det. Kimball also say that it’s his opinion that Dulos brought Jennifer’s body back to Farmington? The two of them both think this for a reason. They know or very strongly suspect it because of some information that didn’t come up in MT’s trial. It may be information from her phone, which was barred from being entered as evidence, or maybe something between Dulos’s phone and information that may have been gotten from KM’s cell phone provider (since they couldn’t examine his actual phone). I wonder if KM’s Albanian connection is dangerous in some respect, and KM hasn’t gone to court because they have to figure out how to protect KM from…something happening if he pulls this guy’s name into his story. Ok-probably far-fetched, but I’m just rolling stuff around in my head, and trying to figure this out. Anyway, Colangelo, Kimball, and probably others think he brought JF back to Farmington because of something that they know.
 
I did find his 'take' or 'spin' on the evidence that sat in a box in his office for OVER A YEAR to be quite an offensive LIE as was his mischaracterization of what was found on the sweatshirt. The whitewash of withholding evidence in a murder trial is something that in most jurisdictions would result in disbarment but this being Corrupticut it is instead spun as Prosecution 'seeking to remove me from the trial'! Lies, Lies and more lies imo by Horn and none of the students even batted an eye and the Professor for the class didn't step in either to even ask Horn "where did the box come from and what else was in the box?". The sweatshirt had a hair from MT on it and so tied her directly to the Tacoma where the sweatshirt and other items in the evidence box most likely had been or in some other vehicle (White Jeep perhaps?) owned by FD. Horn and the other attorneys that had the box (Pattis and Bowman and who knows who else in their offices touched it) should have been reported by the State to the CT Bar but per usual nothing was done even by the Judges hearing this sorry case (Randolph, White and Blawie) about withholding evidence by attorneys.
The Professor is Andy Thibault, isn't he? Investigator/journalist!
 
When is MT getting sentenced for the contempt-is that in September? Are they just gonna keep kicking this down the road and never address it, or will they finally sentence her for that little skit?

from my notes regarding the next hearing - sounds like motions...

7/10/24 Update: Troconis’ hearing on the contempt charge lasted just a couple minutes. A not guilty plea was entered. Troconis’ attorney in her contempt case filed a couple motions. One is for a bill of particulars from the State, meaning a more detailed written statement about the allegations against her to “prepare her defense for trial.” Another motion wants the court to compel the Law & Crime photographer who streamed Troconis’ trial—and who lives in Massachusetts—to testify if this case goes to trial. The prosecutor said she & Troconis’ will be meeting again & hope to have a resolution for the next hearing, which is set for 9/16/24.

Thanks for this. I was going to look up to see who this 'professor' was and what the class was studying.

Sad, I guess this just confirms that investigative journalism is DEAD as Professor didn't seem to add much to the discussion to ask probing questions to either of speakers. What did hit me was that the Professors take is virtually identical to what we see in the Press coverage of this tragic case. Namely that no real questions are posed to participants in the Process and the words and comments of the participants being 'interviewed' are never questioned. Its stunning to watch but if this 'professor' was a 'real world' reporter or investigator then I'm simply not sure how he either posed questions related to the case or sought to answer them? Simply baffling. Just seems like the MO is to 'reprint' and 'repost' whatever PAP and CRAP is dished up by the people speaking. To me, this is PR and has zero to do with reporting or certainly investigative journalism. Professor gets a solid grade of F and sadly his students aren't far behind with a grade of 'D-' for their questions.

It was interesting to see what peaked the curiosity of the students as I do think some of what they were interested are reflective of the times in terms of anti LE rhetoric, BLM, DEI and distrust of govt. But, I think what bothered me most was not seeing students being remotely curious with their questions or really trying to understand the complex investigation of a 'no body' case or all the issues surrounding a prosecution of a 'no body' case and what is meant by 'conspiracy to commit murder' etc.

Mind bogglingly sad missed opportunity for these students but frankly its on the Professor too for not holding them to a very high standard (or any standard) imo even though its an undergrad class. So many issues and way to prepare for such an wonderful opportunity to experience a real world case and IDK what the Professor did to prepare either himself or the students?

MOO

Keep thinking about how ill prepared both the Professor and the students were about the case. Both Colangelo and Horn gave summaries of the case that you would think might lend themselves to some probing questions or at least interesting discussion.

BUT NO.

Missed opportunity for the students to learn about a complex investigation and prosecution and for the broader group following this case to understand Colangelos thinking about the investigation and prosecution in more depth.

But MT pleaded "Not guilty", didn't she? And asked for a trial?
The last we heard was that the Prosecutor and Defense were going to get together to 'work on a resolution' - sounds like a plea but who knows as delay delay and delay some more seems to be the MO of CT Judiciary these days.

Defense did ask for discovery which was mind blowing to me as that was done months ago in terms of witness statements and video but we didn't see the discovery request list as imo that could be telling as to what the sticking point in resolving this simple case might be.

I'm not sure what all is going on to have this simple case take six months and I do wonder if the Prosecution is doing what its doing to pursue a plea to keep the discredited report out of the news and out of evidence as this would simply play into the entire plan of MT/Mami Troconis/Horn and Mini Horn to get the report from Day 1 ages ago. Just speculation on my part with no knowledge but the facts of the contempt case speak for themselves and its all on video so its not a hard case to prosecute BUT something else seems to be hovering over the proceedings that is behind the scenes. MOO

Horn IMO needs a personal fact checker and it simply made me sad not seeing the Professor or the students even make an attempt to question his statements. But, I also keep thinking back to what I believed was a 'pro defense' bias in the MSM reporting going back to Day 1 and how the MSM simply took verbatium the words of first Pattis and then Horn. I'm not sure when the world of MSM evolved to the point where it effectively becomes a PR machine for the defense but that seems to be where things have been now for nearly idk 10 years or so?

We had folks like the 'Head Cheerleader" at NBC CT, the folks at Hearst/Stamford Advocate and Hartford Courant et. al simply reposting the words of first Pattis and then Horn. We then saw the 'crime news shows' on CBC and NBC really doing no investigation and allowing interviews of FD and the Troconis Crew and the Defense Attorneys with no follow up questioning? Why? It all imo seems to point to a pro defense bias and its the only way I can explain some inept reporter such as we saw at the MT sentencing actually crying on camera with the sentencing result? I am so confused by all of this and the only conclusion I can draw easily is that there is inherent deep distrust of law enforcement and the process of the Judiciary etc. But, what I find facinating is that MSM for whatever reason seems to believe or at least not question what a defense attorney with an agenda might be willing to say to taint the jury pool or get their client off the hook. Why?

MOO

On a tangent-- Remember how Colangelo got bounced from the case--hiring of daughter of Kostas Diamantis of Office of Policy and Management in exchange for getting pay raises for states attorneys? Kostas is now defendant in federal corruption trial re no-bid school contracts, etc. Pattis recently filed an appearance on KD behalf.

Couldn't we also speculate that the Judicial Branch is trying to cover up for any lawyer who may've been involved in getting that report to MT? By asking both sides to come to a resolution behind the scenes? Judge didn't refer mini-Horn or Horn to the Statewide Grievance Committee for investigation by a Bar panel?
 
I'm putting this comment here as I simply cannot get out of my simple brain the fact that Horn said to the students something to the effect, "...the Prosecution tried to get me off the case....".

REALLY???????????????????????????????????????

No follow up question from either the Professor or students on this imo bald faced lie which I thought was shameful. Even if the students didn't make a follow up the Professor at a minimum could have asked a follow up for additional colour on the situation imo.

Yes Horn, the Prosecution did attempt to remove you from the case but in reality what they should have done (which they didn't do) was report you to the State Bar for disciplinary hearing about how you, Norm Pattis and Andrew Bowman seemed to play 'pass the box of evidence' in a murder trial for over 4 years!

Yes, these three attorneys held on to case evidence in a murder trial for years and Horn passed the box off to his alleged attorney (now sadly a CT Judge) to try and shield himself from consequences for his decision (yes decision as it was an act with intention Horn) to withhold evidence in a murder trial. Why Horn (and Pattis and Bowman) weren't at least charged for tampering and hindering by the State is something that I would also like to ask Atty Colangelo or the now supervisor of the Stamford/Norwalk office who only seems to imo specialize in complaining on the record about Horn BUT DOING NOTHING TO IMPOSE CONSEQUENCES (ditto on this issue to the Judges that were involved with the game of 'pass the evidence' as this includes: Judge Blawie, Judge Randolph and Judge White).

Entire episode was shameful and wrong and Horn was counting on the Judges and State doing nothing to impose consequences on him as it would have delayed the proceedings even more imo.

In most jurisdiction (not CT it seems) withholding evidence from police and prosecutors would result in disbarment and so Horn sadly lives to practice his imo inept style of law for another day in the state of Corrupticut.

But, what enrages me about what Horn said to the students was not only did he entirely mischaracterize what the State did and why to remove him from the case BUT THEN he went the extra step to again mischaracterize (aka lie imo) about the testing done on the sweatshirt (Horn glossed over all the other items in the box and so didn't give the students the full picture of the situation and how bad it exactly was and how the behaviour of the three attorneys and god knows how many other office people that touched the box circumvented every known rule of evidence and rules of conduct for attorneys etc.).

My recollection of this sorry event was that testing was undertaken on the sweatshirt and the HAIR FOUND ON THE SWEATSHIRT belonged to MT NOT PG. I realize MT, Horn and Mami Troconis have been on a pin the murder on PG campaign now for 5 years but mischaracterizing the evidence in the box imo is simply one more in a long string of such similar misstatements by Horn (and Pattis) made over the years. At what point (if ever) will PG sue for defamation? Where is Atty Lindsay Urso on this issue as his client (or former client) has been dragged now for years with zero evidence and ongoing dis/mis information.

I think I would have liked to have seen the class BRING BACK Atty Colangelo after the Horn comments to respond to some of what was said as that would have imo been quite interesting. Horn simply seems wired to not stick to the evidence or rather the facts surrounding the evidence and rather than following the rules of evidence and the rules of the court he simply seems wired to work harder at not working than simply doing his job in order to defend his client. In this regard though I do believe Horn, MT and Mami Troconis are perfectly matched.

No substantive defense was mounted for MT by Horn and zero exculpatory evidence was provided by the defense on behalf of MT. The case record imo speaks perfectly on this point for itself. To see MT in her letter to the 'chief cheerleader' talking about 'exculpatory evidence' is simply laughable as that ship has sailed and left the dock years ago as she well knows.

I guess imo if there were any doubts about who Horn is as a 'legal professional' as well as 'human being' the fact that he is willing to go on video and effectively 'misstate' to students simply confirms what those here that have been following his behaviour for years well know. Namely that he is simply willing to do and say whatever is expedient regardless of ethics, morality and certainly Court rules.

MOO

Yes, not surprising at all.

How is it that Pattis always so brilliantly manages to follow the smell of 'crap'! Seems like if there is a whiff of it in the air in terms of corruption etc. then there pops up Pattis like a whack a mole????

Correlation imo between corruption and Pattis imo is almost 100%!

Why he still has the license to practice in CT is beyond me but I guess he is simply a product of the system in which he operates which rewards the behaviour he consistently delivers.

She's LUCKY she got the light sentence she got, she deserves every minute of it and then some.

She opted to stick to the (alibi) script to her own detriment, and once FD exited stage left, she chose poorly again.

Were she a sympathetic figure, she could have chosen a different defense. (Or for OUR sakes, a different pair of attorneys.) She could have postured herself as an unwittingly accomplice, duped by the velvet don juan, but it's an act I doubt she could pull off. Because you'd have to care. You'd have to care that your selfishness and entitlement and jealously provoked a landmine, and that give children are forever without a mother -- and a father -- and your hand was on that grenade.

Telling what she knew then, telling what she knows now could have been a way to appeal to jurors. And no, not that pitiable screed she delivered at sentencing. I mean a soul-baring confession, not to incriminate or spare herself, but to give five children a chance to know where their mother is, more than under bleach on a garage floor, more than misted across a pair of clear ponchos, more than what a saturated shirt and bra contains. The truth. As she knows it. What FD told her. What FD didn't tell her. How long it took, how far he went...

If she had at least that much dignity, she could have wept, broken down for all that loss

A sympathic jury might have been moved by that, the judge too. Reflected at sentencing.

But she didn't. She hasn't. And I suspect she cannot.

Because she's not sorry.

Mother Theresa, horse whisperer, friend to the downtrodden, she is full entirely of herself. Jennifer was in her way. FD was taking too long. Five children wouldn't choose her over their mother. FD managed to get caught. She's got a whole list of people who she no doubt feels done her wrong.

I'm sorry, appeal nothing, her sentence ought to be doubled, on account of being just straight despicable.

If she ever wants to know what class and mercy feel like, she should give JFd's loved ones the trove of information that will lead them to her.

A man's murdered wife's body was just found, sealed in a commercial tank, hiding in plain sight. I think Jennifer's body received the same. He had a plan that started before that day ... JFd is somewhere there IMO. Perhaps parceled out but in a place or places he could access from 80 MS. A defunct tank, buried. Entombed beneath a slab or within a foundation. Vertical in a horizontal space.

But here we are.

Of her own doing, MT warrants no mercy.

For she has shown none.

Megnut….. this is a wonderful and amazing critique of this matter and the now convicted felon.

And your analogy….. ‘and your hand was on that grenade.’….. a perfect metaphor.

And IMO only…. to further that a tad bit more….. seems to me the case precisely. And IMO FD handed her the grenade, she held the safety lever or ‘spoon’, pulled the pin, and handed the live grenade back to FD - and they commenced the plan. MOO

YES THIS!

Look at the direction of Attorney Audrey Felson gaze and even Attorney Jon Schoenhorn side eye gaze! Why these two weren't roped into the investigation is BEYOND ME!
