Silver Alert CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #17

[BellaVita]

I'm furious that FD can't be served using the anklet as a locator.

He is, for all practical purposes, under the watch of LE.

The court should be able to serve him as surely as if he was sitting in a jail cell. Mad MOO!

In FL, when you are let out on bond, you are under supervision of the probation dept/court. You have to be accountable and do what they say. If they tell you to report to them, you have to do it. If they tell you to take a drug test, you have to do it. You have to comply with the law. Maybe it's not lawful for a server to access the ankle monitor whereabouts but in FL, whoever is in charge of your supervision can call you in. You HAVE to show up. Lots of people here get served that way. IME.

For @afitzy:

In my opinion only (wink, wink) this is 585 Deercliff Road. It is literally across the street and one property over from the entrance to 4 JC. I did not see a trailer but I didn't drive up onto the property as I wasn't as brave in the beginning of this escapade as I was later on. I bet the neighbors love looking at the porta potty and dumpster sitting right there by the side of the road when they drive by.

Thank you so much for the pictures @thekirbyfamily
Is this the home where the family lived before 4JC and the property he is selling as a "tear down"?

They can’t find FD?! What? Yes, you’d think it’d be very easy to find a person with an ankle monitor if it works!

I know what you mean about all of the data points with this case! I hope LE has a big white board. Flowcharts must be essential. I myself am starting to think we need an FAQs document (Q. “What did FD say he knows and when?” A. “On blah, blah, blah, FD said he knows what he did and didn’t do.” (Or something.) I’m kidding sort of but also not.

I am not sure they’re saying they cannot find FD; maybe they are knocking on his door, and he simply is refusing to answer. Don’t they have to actually hand it to you? I can definitely see him not answering the door for anyone, really. I mean, who does he want to see that wouldn’t just walk into the house?

 

[Hair of the Dog]

Money laundering.

Can you please explain how that might work? Many thanks

 

[Hair of the Dog]

Good points. I think he was/is running some kind of a scheme (since JD filed for divorce in 2017) that provided a cover for claiming poverty and not being able to pay back his FIL, pay subcontractors, or pay for divorce attorneys.

Or he was/is terrible at his job, and only ever limped along when graciously and fully funded by his wife's family.

Or he was/is a grifter who thought if he just kept on doing what he had been doing (building high priced mansions in wealthy neighborhoods), he could keep up pretenses that he was still a successful builder, there was still cash flow, he could take some big writeoffs at tax time, get more clients who liked what they saw, wait for the market to rebound, and in the mean time do everything he could to keep JD from divorcing him and his in laws from collecting any money he owed them. Or declare bankruptcy, and wash his hands of the whole stockpile of mansions that wouldn't sell 'due to the market'.

Just the property taxes alone on multi-million dollar properties would be astronomical. But maybe lower if unoccupied or unfinished???

It could be way more complicated than that -- sounds like GF's attorneys are going to dig into his accounts any day now, and MT will be questioned as well. One more way in which he was probably up to no good. MOO

This!

I am a firm believer that he spent all of that $; like when someone wins the lottery and then they are completely broke within a couple years.

I think the thing FD fears most is being exposed for the unsuccessful nobody that he really is.

MOO

Money laundering.

Ooh. Big fan of Ozark. Can you imagine?...

This entire situation with 585 Deerfield is not making sense.

FD had 5-6 other houses that were sitting, market is soft etc. Its not even clear that Farmington real estate market can absorb 1 of his very expensive and over priced houses over the next year and what does he do? He builds another expensive house in Farmington? And not only does he build another house at 585 but he doesn't update his website to reflect the house and doesn't update the real estate listing to sell the house?

I'm missing something major I guess as who builds houses that can't be sold anytime soon and then as soon as they build them they don't actively list them with brokers or on the web?

Something else must be going on but this doesn't make sense at all IMO.

MOO

Very early on maybe thread 2 or 3 I posted about this potential strategy of borrowing from JDs dad, buying property, building the same or similar design, and holding the balance of the money / he didn’t have to pay him back until the property sold - it’s a big ponzi using houses IMO

Local news article about the Civil Case:

Jennifer Dulos’ mother wants forensic audit of ‘highly suspect’ Fore Group accounts

Go team GF.

I can definitely see him not answering the door for anyone, really. I mean, who does he want to see that wouldn’t just walk into the house?

Considering he is likely under obligation to the court to notify him of the address he is living at - I think he’s dodging this (under advisement from his attorney?? possible) but there are ways to serve him - his attorney is not accepting service for him IMO or they would have served it on him JMO

Ooh. Big fan of Ozark. Can you imagine?...

I haven't watched that yet but I love Jason Bateman! OT but I loved Arrested Development.

With FD's demonstrated lack of impulse control and good judgement, I don't think he would have the patience to launder $. He is too busy cultivating his image and trying to impress people with his wealth. The information from GF's lawsuit about him being reimbursed for personal expenses for example; he was just throwing down his credit card looking like Mr. Bigshot, jet setter, charming ladies man, successful builder, champion water skier, wearer of finery.... and the company was paying the bill with what was supposed to be working capital until there wasn't any left and now it is all just slipping away. MOO

 

[MDATCA]

FD was so relentless calling her.. it’s so bizarre. Why? An alibi sounds about right.

No wonder LE said it was a dynamic case.

No wonder why the search warrants are sealed.

I wonder who attended the dinner party at 4 JC on Thursday evening and what took place.

All MOO

Dinner party? I think it was a murder planning party. They were all sitting around enjoying supper while trying to nail down details. I believe the left purse was a planned thing to create an alibi for MT.

 

[spaz1959]

I'm hoping with a lovely cake like they make out of fish and other icky stuff for animals at the zoo on their birthdays! And they could sing the version of the birthday song that ends with "and you smell like one too!" If you could give FD a gift for his birthday what would it be?

I would love to give FD a private birthday visit with Jennifer's loving family and friends. Surprise!

Going over each other's assignments....
JMO but I think if he had an accomplice at the scene it was MT. To the best of my knowledge she wasn't seen on CCTV in Farmington until 11:00 am on 5/24. With her assistance, I think there was plenty of time to get to NC, commit the crime and drive back to Farmington. His lawyer friend seems to have some behavioral and ethical issues but I doubt he was the on scene accomplice, his job was to provide the alibi. MOO

 

[spaz1959]

Absolutely.

Reading these articles and seeing the testimony from KM STBX this almost reads as bad fiction or as if you are being pranked. Is this a joke? Who are these people?

It just seems so sleezy and creepy and potentially life threatening.

Shocking actually.

GF was so on point to get the guards for her apt and to never set foot in CT!

What is going on with FD and KM?

I want to know who the guy with the crowbar and gas can is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta find him, well right after LE finds "Fudge" and the knife.....
MOO

OK, we have Larry and Moe, where's Curly?

 

[spaz1959]

I think people would be very surprised about how blood, and how much blood, is transferred during a stabbing death. It is extremely messy. The use of the word splatter would seem to imply blunt force, but depending on where the blood ended up, it could splatter with a well-placed knife wound. A quick, forceful knife assault, which successfully hits a targeted/vulnerable area, could even result in splatters on the ceiling of the garage.

IMO the knife came with FD, because it is described as a fish knife and why would JD have one of those in her home? Did FD fish? Because if he did, he could have been quite skillful with a knife. From LE's description of the garage, it would seem a weapon that resulted in numerous blood splatters was used. I suspect our theories are not far off the mark.

Did KM fish?

Thanks for the pics! Just jumping off your post -
If I understand correctly, this was FD's parents house and FD has it listed for sale to demolish the house and rebuild? It appears to be a nice home but then again we don't know what condition it is in, for example, it needs updates possibly, etc. I hope LE has searched this home and the property, especially since it is connected to him AND is so close to his home at 4 JC!

 

[NWLady]

@afitzy

Again, in my opinion only (haha) this the entrance to 4 JC. He has no trespassing signs and plastic chains everywhere. I was surprised just how close it was to the Avon town line, like 50 feet or less. I took a video but it won't let me download it due to size.

I can't imagine how much unwanted attention that FD has brought to his home and more than likely his other properties that have been in the news connected to him. If I was his neighbor(s) at any of these places, I would be feeling like my privacy has been invaded due to all the attention he has caused! JMO

 

[Southernsnooper]

I hope DD was still wearing his prison garb because LE has his clothing (pants) to do some forensic testing.

I think FD thought that all of those insurance executives who work in Hartford would be buying his overpriced houses; there actually is (or was) money up in Avon and Farmington-although nothing like the money in New Canaan (JD was right after all). He way overestimated the market for and the appeal of his houses. I think maybe he could have sold one or maybe two at the very most, in that price range. Could be he was just delusional about how it was going to work, but then why would HF foot the bill for his delusions? This, I don’t understand...HF had to have had more on the ball than that. There is something off here, as you said.

 

[Midwestmom2019]

Did KM fish?

Is this type of knife used in a tannery business?
Perhaps the Dulos family ate fresh fish often. Mediterranean diet. So conceivably buy fresh fish from a fish monger: head, tail, skin and fins. Would be part of kitchen set. Left over fish parts make great fish stock. This IS New England, right?
So possessing a fish knife would not be uncommon. IMHO.
