Great post, as usual,
@afitzy! Giving us a lot to think about!
This is my response to the OP asking for thoughts on whether Jennifer could be alive. I think a lot about the banging of metal at the Fore House in New Canaan.
I’m not sure if it’s because I have 2 sons in the film and tv business and thus I keep thinking about what happened to Jennifer, about how this case will end and how a movie would be written & filmed.
Anyway, IMO, I think that FD and MT camped out at the Fore Group owned house in New Canaan Thursday night (or maybe stayed at a hotel near New Canaan - NC doesn’t have hotels/motels or didn’t used to).
Regardless where they slept, they prepared the property or something at the property to take JD there after abducting/kidnapping/harming her on Friday morning.
Whatever happened, whatever they did to Jennifer at her NC rental home on Welles Rd, it’s obvious, IMO, that something went wrong. Something, unexpectedly, caused JD to lose a large amount of blood. FD and MT attempted to clean up the blood, but may have been interrupted by the maid’s arrival & (no, never mind, that part doesn’t work).
Anyway, according to my theory of JD being alive... she was taken, unconsciously, by FD & MT to the Fore house in NC, where she was placed inside a metal drum and left for dead. And where they’d return later to take care of JD’s body & the drum.
FD & MT then went to do whatever they did in Farmington and then to Hartford to get rid of 30 bags and a Fed Ex box containing altered plates.
During the evening/night they purchased/obtained chemicals. Before arriving at the NC property, early the next morning, Jennifer “came to” and began banging on the metal drum trying to get out or to get help.
However, due to the amount of blood loss and her other injuries, she died. FD & MT returned to Fore Group NC house with the chemicals and poured them into the metal drum (ala Breaking Bad) that contained Jennifer’s body and then drove it to a body of water and, after applying weights, threw it in the water.
Or maybe they buried it.
OK I just realized it’s after 2am, I’m tired and I’m rambling! All the above is MOO!
