I was thinking it was the “R” school down further. Thanks for clearing that up.Ooh,
Different than what I was thinking, but I know of that one. My husband used to teach in Simsbury.
How does NP know what the housekeeper did? That makes his client look more guilty if he had a housekeeper there cleaning up the crime scene. Several hours, as Ponytail Lawyer said, can be a lot of cleaning, and mopping.I think the confusion here is that there are two separate 'major' employees of JD's that work in the household / were working the day she went missing: (1) a nanny whom takes care of the children, and (2) a housekeeper whom cleans the house.
(1) The nanny was tasked with picking the kids up from school and driving them to their grandmother's in NYC for an overnight because JD had 2 appointments in NYC during that day, and was purportedly planning to meet them all there at the end of the day, but never showed up. No info in MSM or from LE on the nanny or whether they lived in the house or had a separate residence and full use of the Range Rover, so may not have needed to pick up the vehicle at the house that day before picking up the children from school.
(2) The housekeeper purportedly came to do regular cleaning tasks around noon that day. No info in MSM or from LE on the housekeeper's presence or schedule. Only FD's lawyer NP has alleged that the housekeeper stayed for several hours into the afternoon that day cleaning JD's house.

Well, this is definitely somewhere they need to consider, IMO.I have been pondering this location as it is wild, remote & you are the first to mention it... Laurel is a large reservoir quite nearby the area in focus in New Canaan.
Sometimes you have to keep garbage in the garage because of bearsI can’t imagine keeping garbage inside the house even if you have a mud room/butlers pantry. I just don’t think she went in the garage but your post reminded me about the parking of cars - would JD park her Suburban in the stall closest to the interior door to the house ? Yes I think so - and I think the Porsche was parked in the farthest stall (to prevent door dings from the Land Rover when kids get in and out of it) leaving the stall in the middle for the Land Rover - - -all speculation of course but this brings me to the blood found - I think it was found in the middle stall area since there wasn’t a car to catch it JMO - I don’t know why this garage scene is nagging me but there is something there that is very important IMO
Domestic violence is incredibly common in New Canaan. In fact the NC police chief says “domestic violence is New Canaan’s violent crime.”
DV doesn’t discriminate, and sometimes money can actually make it worse (likely the case here).
A former Bush administration White House lawyer was convicted of attempted murder for beating his wife nearly to death with a flashlight on Wahackme Road in NC in 2010. Flashback to some familiar names in that case- Colangelo as prosecutor, Eugene Riccio who represented FD until Pattis stepped in, as defense attorney.

Police Chief: Domestic Violence ‘Is New Canaan’s Violent Crime’
Well, this is definitely somewhere they need to consider, IMO.
Laurel is directly on the pretty short (15 mins) route between JDs house and her parents home in Pound Ridge. Since FD built the pool house at their place in Pound Ridge he’d clearly be familiar with it, and the close proximity to JDs makes it ideal. It would also fit with an attempted “self harm” hypothesis on his part, since he kept emphasizing her mental state and depression and anxiety.
This is also a place that he likely knows about from the time building their pool house, plus family visits over the years, but wouldn’t be directly linked to him, and only about 10 min drive from JDs house.
And no reports they’ve searched there yet, likely fueling NPs blustering.
It takes 16 minutes to drive to Albany ave from JC. Looks like it took them a few extra to get back
Hoping it was her day to change bed linens and clean upstairs bathrooms!This was JD’s housekeeper, not FD’s. It’s not like he could have tasked her with cleaning up blood.
Hopefully she didn’t do him any favors though, accidentally atleast.
NP is just setting up a defense that the crime scene was corrupted by the housekeeper.
I think she will actually be important come trial time.

This case seems to have brought more locals into WS than almost any case I have followed in many years. To those of you who are local, thank you for joining us! Your input and insight is invaluable to those of us who live in other parts of the nation and world. You are our eyes and ears, and are often privy to things that the rest of us would never hear or read, and sometimes you even offer little tidbits like this very post ^^^^ which really doesn't seem all that important, but it is the kind of thing that probably would never occur to most of us. You will probably not understand how valuable an addition to this thread you are until you follow a case that you are not local to here, and I do hope that when this case is resolved, and it eventually will be, that you will stick around, because, sadly, there will always be more JD's. JMO
Me too. Fortunately, it appears that the violence occurred in the garage, and she didn’t do any cleaning there.Hoping it was her day to change bed linens and clean upstairs bathrooms!
Welcome CTGranny!That route Would take about 40 minutes to Walk though. Check google maps.
It was reported that he Walked back to 4 Jefferson Crossing at 3:37 pm and arriving there with the phone pinging at 4:17 pm. Right at 40 minutes walk. The employee driving FD's Ford truck, picked FD up at the 4 Jefferson Crossing location upon returning from NC and they went together to get the Employee's Red Toyota truck that was left at 80 Mountain Spring Rd by FD at 3:37 pm. As noted FD's phone pinged as he left 80 MSR at 5:21 pm driving the Ford truck back to JC when phone pinged at 5:24 pm.
IMO - FD did not want the employee to know that FD drove the employee's Red Toyota truck, so he left it where they switched vehicles that morning to mislead the employee into thinking the red truck never left 80 Mountain Spring Rd on Friday, May 24 until the employee returned at 5:21 pm.
I think tracking FD's activities the week prior to murder would
give tips on his possible planning.
If he dug the grave say a week prior, put plywood over the hole,
then after burial, put the sod carefully back in place...after a
good rain or two the spot would totally blend in.
If he did this, she will never be found.
This was JD’s housekeeper, not FD’s. It’s not like he could have tasked her with cleaning up blood.

Whoa, that’s interesting, thanks for that link.http://civilinquiry.jud.ct.gov/DocumentInquiry/DocumentInquiry.aspx?DocumentNo=10132343 That was the property in dispute in ‘16-‘17.
Lifestyles of the wanna be rich and infamousRe MT’s “alibi” for the morning of May 24th. Much discussion upthread about the many coincidences and oddities in which one would have to believe in order to have all the strange pieces fall into place non suspiciously.
Was just thinking about how often a friend comes over my house to visit on a Thursday and just accidentally forgets her purse but has no immediate need for it or else doesn’t really even remember she left it at my house and so she doesn’t bother to come back for it and I just am nice this way so I’ll drive it back over to her house the next day because hey who is working anywhere anyway? All good.
I agree. I tend to imagine FD driving his 2015 Suburban into the middle stall with the altered plates. Remember, he was going for the ‘she’s crazy defense,’ and I think he was trying to drive her crazy. She would have pulled her Suburban in and gotten out to look at the license plate and <modsnipped name change> would have come up between the 2 Suburbans and knocked her out. Judaism has traditions about burial in the earth so I think he put her in water close to New Canaan. South is Long Island Sound and North is a lot of bodies of water. He wouldn’t want Jennifer in his possession for very long so I’ve been looking at a 15 mile radius around New Canaan. The Norwalk River has been the grave of many people through the years and I pay extra attention as I cross it driving. Noticed cameras on Route 7 today, but there are none to be seen on 123, 33, the Merritt and he probably knew this.I can’t imagine keeping garbage inside the house even if you have a mud room/butlers pantry.
