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

[hivee]

I too hope there’s an appeal on the restraining order, for this woman’s safety. Given the record, statistically the KM wife is at high risk. Maybe somebody should alert the judge or at least her attorney to this set of facts:

“At one point, she said, Mawhinney put his hands around her neck and squeezed, hurting her but not cutting off her oxygen, before she pushed him off her.
Klein reported that he and another officer saw a dark discoloration on the woman’s neck consistent with a bruise. But Mawhinney isn’t charged under any of Connecticut’s strangulation statutes, all of which require that the offender impede the victim’s ability to breathe or restrict the victim’s blood circulation."
Lawyer in SWindsor spousal rape case says woman consented

"victims who have been choked once are 750 percent more likely to be killed by their abusers, and that choking is considered a strong predictor of homicide."
Expert: Choking strongly predicts homicide

"Strangulation inhabits a category all its own in domestic violence as a marker of lethality. A kick, a punch, a slap, a bite — none of these, though terrible, portend homicide like strangulation does."

Wow. Good post. Thank you. I really can't get over the lack of knowledge in the courts regarding DV.

Kent Mawhinney is more than just a side character in the Dulos case. He was supposed to be a key part of Fotis Dulos’ alibi.
Now that Mawhinney seems to have gotten amnesia as to where he was on the morning of May 24th he’s become a liability not a potential asset for Dulos. I doubt he ever gets called as a witness in this case now.

MOO:
So, KM was supposed to have been FDs alibi the morning of the 24th. As NP stated early on, FD supposedly had an early morning meeting at 4JC with an attorney, and we all wondered, what kind of attorney makes early morning house calls on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend?

Amnesia or not, if this actually happened, then KM has to be on the neighbors surveillance video (two JC neighbors have video capturing FDs driveway, we know from the infamous mail stop after the Albany Ave run). The video should thus show either:
1. KM arriving at FDs driveway the morning of the 24th (no guarantee FD was there then, as others have pointed out)
2. KM arriving at 4JC the night before for the dinner party and never leaving, in which case KM spent the night at 4JC (you know, in one of the sex pad/intimacy rooms? We know he is a heavy drinker and maybe he couldn’t drive home that night. And of course he brought his briefcase with the materials for the meeting the next day to the dinner party so he’d be prepared.)
3. KM never arriving at 4JC, in which case the alibi is just “hearsay” and/or KM arrived via the well used “back door” path into the reservoir area (which is of course the normal way that attorneys meeting with clients, or any professionals doing business with a well respected business entity like Fore Group, would arrive).
All of this said here MOO, most certainly.

What is the difference between a criminal protective order (which KM violated via FD) and a restraining order?
Wouldn't the criminal protective order that KM violated still be in place?

I’m betting “nobody” knows who this guy is; if you asked KM, I bet he’d say that he never sent any “garage door repair guy” over. Maybe the guy wasn’t even there for Mrs. KM...maybe he showed up hoping to find KM there, and he was really there to take care of KM. It wouldn’t surprise me to know that KM is on at least a few people’s hit list.

I think protective orders (even criminal ones) can have a beginning and an end date; sometimes people have to reappear in court to get their protective order extended; this one may have ended and either Mrs. KM didn’t ask for the extension, or was refused.

This morning's Stamford Advocate has a story linked to this document. Poor FD says that GF's lawyers are trying to ruin him....he's a victim, AGAIN!

I have this question as well. Also, since KM was not permitted to contact his Ex, why did they not issue a PFA for her? I was shocked when I read that request was denied.

He ruined himself with his narcissistic greed, arrogance, and lies. And I've yet to see him even ONE BIT concerned about his missing wife. MOO.

Then he should pay the money he owes, and get on with his stupid life (if he can, while LE puts together the murder charge). He is the only one who has destroyed his business, and his life. Even if he wasn’t suspected of murdering JD, he’d be ruined because he can’t run a business-she is only trying to collect what he borrowed. This infuriates me

 

[enelram]

I know a guy who used to have his girlfriend go places where he and his wife would be, with a “date”. And know of a local high profile horseman who would attend fancy functions with his wife, and his girlfriend would be at another table. WTH is wrong with some men?

Yes, pretty common w/ these men- they love the high risk environment- out in public but don't get caught. If wifey suspects something- HAH- too bad, he just subtley rubs it in her face. I've seen it too.

 

[afitzy]

Who is/where is crowbar/gas can man now?

Unknown. Its even unclear from the article if the police created a report of the incident. The only thing we know is that he was not arrested. I wonder if Mrs KW took a picture of the guy on her phone too as it appeared she did engage with him in the driveway to figure out what was going on. IDK, simply cannot make this stuff up. MOO

 

[thekirbyfamily]

Except that he can’t say that his own truck was in NC because the EE had it, and then say that EE must have killed JD because his red truck was nearby. He would be putting two trucks, hence two drivers who both live in or close to Hartford in NC that morning. I think the red truck being near JD’s place was simply to avoid his own truck from being spotted there. I think FD was hoping that LE’s blame would naturally shift to EE (because I do think FD was trying to implicate him), without FD having to say so-and I still think FD meant to be long gone before it was figured out, and before he ever had to answer any questions.

Yes, I like I said there are parts that are still wonky and don't fully make sense. I think FD was going to sit back, wait, and then answer the questions as they come once he had a handle on what direction he thought the investigation would go, not that both vehicles would be used in his story. So when LE says "We know your truck was in NC that day" FD would say "well that's because my employee had it and was working at the Sturbridge property." When LE says "We have reports of a red truck at JD's house that morning, do you know anyone who drives a red truck" FD would say "Oh my employee does and he really has a hatred for Jennifer because everything she is doing is hurting the business and going to cost him his job."

Here is another thought. It was said FD let employee use his truck that whole week I think, something about the distance to NC was mentioned. What if EE's truck was left at Sturbridge that week and FD either rode with him or even Michelle when he did show up to look at work EE was doing at Sturbridge? Maybe FD rode to Sturbridge that morning with EE, just showed up there, or even slept there the night before? Maybe he waited for EE to be gone on an errand or sent him to do one or told him he needed to get back to Farmington and took EE's truck (with the pretence of gasing it up for EE before he arrived to pick it up, maybe Pattis will try to explain car wash as a nice gesture) and whatthen did he did to JD. Of all the things I can't make sense of, I believe without a shadow of a doubt that red truck was used and LE learning EE and FD had switched trucks was a watershed moment early on. FD washing red truck at car wash was pretty big too.

Two questions that have come up that I don't remember much discussion on:

1. Someone questioned using the Silver Alert by the state in announcing JD's disappearance, saying a silver alert was for someone with mental health issues...why would that have been then?

2. Someone said maybe all the banging at Sturbridge was JD herself trying to get free or call attention to the fact she was there...what are thoughts on this? Maybe FD thought he had killed her and put her in a tank/walls/encasement of some sort intending to come back after he figured out what to do and she came to and was trying to get out/call attention to herself with everything she had left?

All of this is just my opinion only.

 

[afitzy]

I understand...KM’s stbx’s interaction with FD looks a little different to me. I wonder if she has the phone records of him contacting her? Since she barely knew him, what could have been his reason for contacting her?

I agree with you. It seems like there have to be at least texts to support the claims of meeting at the restaurant. I also wonder if perhaps she secretly recorded the convo with her phone? She sounds like a street wise person that might have had qualms and done the recording to protect herself. Its interesting that the articles yesterday said she had only met FD once before the event at the restaurant. I found this interesting if true. MOO

 

[enelram]

Maybe the Judge is thinking that since KM is an Attorney, that surely, an Attorney would not do the things KM is accused of since he would know what the consequences would be?

MOO MOO and MOO

People in the public forget that judges ARE also
attorneys. And they practiced law prior to donning the black robe and playing God.
The brotherhood of attorneys sometimes
overrides the public interest IME.
this is why you see many egregious actions
by attorneys given a minor slap on the hand
by 'the bar'.

 

[Tink56]

This guy really bothers me, too. How did KM know him again? Did KM have access to many "garage repairmen" who carried crowbars and gas cans on their "repair" assignments? What the heck!

The Silver Alert situation had alot of chat in earlier threads and I don't recall where it ended up TTYTT. But CT has few options in missing cases to broadly distribute messages quickly and unlike other states choose to use Silver Alerts sometimes. NCPD couldn't use Amber Alert so the only option left I belive was Silver Alert. My guess is that NCPD used Silver Alert as a tool as it is one of the few available ways to broadcast widely. NCPD never explained why they chose to use Silver Alert so this is all speculation too.

But if you are interested in the topic there were many people that had great information and contributed it to the prior discussion and in much greater detail than I am offering up here.

Here is the info from the State about Silver Alert (dated from 2010):

CONNECTICUT'S SILVER ALERT SYSTEM

By: Nicole Dube, Associate Analyst

You asked about Connecticut's Silver Alert system. Specifically, you wanted to know the process used to access the system.

Silver Alert systems help identify and locate missing seniors with cognitive impairments. Modeled after the federal Amber Alert system for abducted children, Silver Alert systems are emergency notification systems in which law enforcement agencies broadcast local, regional, or statewide public alerts for missing seniors and other individuals with cognitive impairments, including Alzheimer's disease. Broadcasts may be issued using radio, television, and electronic highway signs.

2009 legislation required the Connecticut Department of Public Safety's (DPS) Missing Child Information Clearinghouse to establish a system to help locate missing individuals who are (1) seniors age 65 and older or (2) mentally impaired adults at least 18 years old (PA 09-109). DPS implemented the system on July 1, 2009.

In order to access the system, an individual must file a missing person report with the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction. The local law enforcement agency then completes and sends a DPS form requesting a Silver Alert to the DPS Communications Center. DPS staff take the information, picture (if available), and local law enforcement agency contact information and make a flyer that is sent to radio and television media outlets and approximately 2,800 Connecticut Lottery system retailers. Alerts are posted on digital billboards in the search area but are not posted on Department of Transportation road signs.

To date, 31 Silver Alerts have been reported to the DPS Communications Center. It is important to note that mentally impaired children ages 15 through 17 are not covered under the Amber or Silver Alert systems. DPS, broadcasters, and the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association are working on a voluntary Missing Person Advisory to handle these cases.

OLR Report 2009-R-0008 describes Silver Alert systems in other states.

2. Sturbridge banging. I keep thinking about these reports alot. I wonder if any of the neighbors or the dog sitter called NCPD to report the noise or if the info came to the NCPD after the fact? So many possibilities I think but sadly no information beyond the few sentences in MSM.

MOO

It wouldn’t surprise me to know that KM is on at least a few people’s hit list.

Yes, I can get the crowbar but what was the guy going to do with the gas can? Douse the house and light a match? This situation sounded frightening but it sounds like Mrs KM did engage with the person in her driveway so she seems to be an intrepid sort IMO.

IDK how LE did nothing other than send the guy away as its unclear what evidence was provided to the court about the event. At a minimum it seemed clear-ish that the man was trespassing and the fact that he had a large tool and gas can to me at least signaled intent that was less than friendly. IDK. Very strange situation.
MOO
