Silver Alert CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #18

[HopeForTheBest]

You are way too sensitive. Don't twist my words and then be offended about what you want to hear. I brought up that bit about GF and JD not helping the situation in response to a comment about FD homes being in foreclosure. And I used as an example the THREE letters that GFs own lawyers presenting about potential buyers backing out of sales because they have learned of a "contentious divorce". I'm not victim shaming. I'm stating facts that GFs own lawyers raised.

No one has victim shamed nor blamed. But you are making accusations that are completely out of line. Just because you don't like my comments is no reason to take offense. You can disagree and believe that the three potential buyers learned of the contentious divorce through tea leaves but my comment about the possibility that FDs financial situation was intentionally made worse by GF is a valid comment.

And now we come to the ad-hominem fallacy, where you attack a person personally; the straw-man logical fallacy where you oversimplify and misrepresent the other person’s argument to try to minimize it; and the big one that figures so prominently in your posts, the slothful-induction logical fallacy, where significant logical evidence exists to support a specific conclusion such as in this case with FD but rather than acknowledging that logical conclusion, you attribute the information to coincidence, some far-fetched theory that strains credulity, or something with no relationship to the situation at all. Such arguments are terrible form to say the least. These are my opinions indeed.

LAWYER WINS ARREST FOR OWN DIVORCE SETTLEMENT
An already controversial 38-year-old Glastonbury lawyer, who allegedly created phony divorce papers and lied to a judge so that the jurist ordered the lawyer's wife stripped of most of her assets, has been charged with perjury, larceny and altering court records.
David M. Ford of 61 Colton Road was released on a $10,000 cash bond Tuesday after being arrested earlier for two counts of perjury, two counts of altering court records, third-degree larceny and attempted first-degree larceny.
Before his arrest for his alleged actions in the divorce case, Ford had been the subject of two complaints: that he lied to a judge about a love affair with a client; and that he ran a phony Yellow Pages consulting business.

I don't know if the youngest is a female?
Yes, he has only expressed an interest in the older two children.
MOO

13 yo is the age in CT where the courts are able to hear what the child has to say legally.

The younger children don't have this ability yet due to age. FD IMO is simply using the 2 older children to facilitate whatever game he and No Case Norm have planned.

It fits into his cultural preference also IMO that the oldest 2 are male, but if the oldest twins were female he would use them as weapons too IMO. MOO

Jennifer Dulos divorce: Fotis wants children’s medical, school records
n a motion filed late Thursday in Stamford family court, attorney Rich Rochlin said his client has been denied his five children’s “academic, medical, hospital and other health records.”
Rochlin said in his motion that the children’s guardian ad litem, Michael Meehan, advised him that Farber is not willing to release the records to Fotis Dulos. Rochlin said Jennifer Dulos’ divorce attorney has also refused to give up the records.
“More troubling is that plaintiff’s attorney has also weighed in on such request and took the same position as Ms. Farber,” Rochlin wrote. “It is unclear how he is able to take any position (other than his own)— consistent with the Rules of Professional Conduct — without consulting his client.”
Fotis Dulos last saw his children during a supervised visit at his estranged wife’s New Canaan home on May 22 — two days before her disappearance.

Piggybacking off of your original article about childrens medical school records here is the latest quote and interview from No Case Norm.

Its unclear how the records being requested from family court relate to what No Case Norm is discussing in this latest interview. Pattis talks about 'confidential' records and how they might help his case. Sounds like No Case Norm and FD are simply on another random fishing expedition. They seem to also be pursuing some financial path/angle in their investigation of the victim as well.

IMO it just seems like more of the Pattis smoke and mirror show and perhaps its being done via interviews in anticipation of losing access to the press due to pending gag ruling. IDK but it smacks of desperation as they still have no alibi and alternative theory and yet again seem to be baiting the State to put out their evidence about the morning of the 24th.

Pattis is also back on the 'not physically possible' argument for FD to commit a murder in NC which to me is a signal that he still has major time gaps in FD personal timeline. Looks like the defense is nowhere on their timeline and is shifting yet again to victim related issues to account for what happened in NC.

All I can say is that No Case Norm perhaps should be careful what he wishes for!

MOO

Quote from article:

NEW CANAAN, Conn. (WTNH) — "Saturday marks three months since New Canaan mother Jennifer Dulos went missing. Now, her estranged husband’s lawyer is saying there may be certain records that are critical in clearing Fotis Dulos‘ name".

"Jennifer was last seen dropping her children off at school on the morning of May 24".

"Later that day, her car was found abandoned at Waveny Park".

"Since the investigation started, police have received nearly 1,400 tips, but none of them have lead police closer to finding Jennifer".

"Related: Fotis Dulos’ legal team files motion to dismiss charges, requests moving GPS tracker"

"On Friday, Dulos’ defense attorney Norm Pattis sat down with News 8 to speak about the case".

"He told News 8’s Samaia Hernandez that there are certain records concerning Jennifer that could “clear” his client’s name".

“What was going on between Mr. Dulos and Mrs. Dulos before she vanished we think is critical to his defense,” he explained. “I don’t want to comment about what I think are in those records. Some of them are confidential at this point, but I have a good idea. But our view is that the weeks leading up to Jennifer’s vanishing tell a story and we think that story is consistent with Mr. Dulos’ innocence.”

"NORM PATTIS, FOTIS DULOS’ LAWYER"
Pattis believes the files will prove this Dulos’ involvement was not “physically possible.”

“We’ve got a lot to say,” Pattis lamented. “We’ve just begun to tell Mr. Dulos’ story. We’ve got investigators working on financial aspects [of] what Jennifer was doing the days before she vanished. The timeline, you know of the day that she vanished, we simply think that it’s not physically possible to prove that Mr. Dulos was involved in this and we challenge the state to bring those charges.”

Steffen Reich Is a real estate agent that used to work at Foregroup

Also wrote one of the 3 letters used as Plaintiff's exhibits by GF in the Civil Case. These letters each were from people that spoke to the issue of the adverse impact that the divorce was having on publics perception of FORE group. 2 of the letters declined providing financing to FD/FORE (MS and Sturbridge properties) and the SR letter spoke of the challenges of selling the MS property in the very soft real estate market and also the impact of FD/FORE reputation on the entire sale process. These letters are attached as exhibits in lated Plaintiff filing in civil case.

 

[afitzy]

Things are oh so easy to SLEUTH. It's not that hard. Plenty of documents on public websites. "Contentious" is just a polite description for Chaos. Pretty common term. If he was outplayed, bravo.

Its not hard to see that MT was working at FORE as Manager, MT was living at 4Jx with her daughter, JD was nowhere to be seen in Farmington, FD children were noplace to be seen in Farmington and prior to all of this FD and MT were seen all over town having coffee, meals and no doubt hooking up at the Avon Mariott. Farmington is a small town and people knew JD and the 5 children in the school community too. No efforts were made by FD and MT to hide the affair. These 'facts' of the situation have been presented in at least 3 MSM articles that are listed in the Media Thread here on WS. MOO

 

[afitzy]

Which letter writers?

Letters are attached to below document. Go to end of document and look in the exhibits for the letters. These were given to GF team from FORE as part of discovery process. 3 people writing the letters knew FORE well and 1 (realtor) used to work for FD/FORE.

My take is that the individual questioning the source of these documents hasn't read the entire case file on the civil ligitation which is available online. Instead they are preferring to somehow 'blame' GF for the creation of these documents.

GF didn't create these documents or somehow whisper is someones ear to get them to create these documents. No. These documents came from people that knew FD and that FD was seeking to do business with and 1 letter was from the realtor charged with selling MS house (which has been sitting on the market for a very long time).

Gotta love the NYP! Mysterious Greek Benefactor Footing Legal Bills!

Only FD would have a cosmic cash machine from Greece and be unable to tell anyone where the cash is coming from! My guess is that he should have used Western Union at the local Walmart rather than an atty in NYC, but we shall see.

Seriously though, this entire situation sounds fishy/shady/potentially illegal and IMO needs to be investigated fully by the State. GF in the civil litigation asked for an explanation of how the legal bills are being paid as she/JD have been paying for everything for JD, children and gigolo FD now for 2 years. How galling must it be to have paid to house gigolo FD, mistress Michelle and daughter and have to listen in Family Court for 2 years to gigolo FD plead poverty? Simply maddening.

If there are legal and financial crimes being committed by someone/anyone related to paying for gigolo FD legal bills, I hope they are investigated and prosecuted. NYS Banking authorities are IMO excellent at investigating these types of cases. I also question why any NYS atty would put themselves in the middle of the FD circus and possibly risk their license facilitating making payments potentially without proper reporting to NYS and CT.

We have sadly seen so many shady and ethically challenged attys surrounding FD in this case and I wonder if now member of the crew has been found in NYC?

I also wonder why Pattis isn't concerned about the source of funding for his payments? Perhaps Pattis is one of those folks that thinks just because the money is green that its all good? State Banking folks in CT and NY might beg to differ and so I hope this is all fully investigated and signed off upon as being legal.

Perhaps the funds provided to the various attorney's should be clawed back from the recipients and escrowed by the State of CT pending investigation into the source of the funding? Who is this mysterious benefactor? Is FD his own mysterious benefactor? Is FD sister and the no doubt recipient of much funding from FD over the years the mysterious benefactor? So many possibilities to investigate here IMO.

Quote from article:

"Fotis — who grew up in Greece and still has family there — said in an earlier deposition that he had no clue who was paying for the legal team and private investigator defending him against charges in connection with his wife’s disappearance".

“Except that the funds were coming from Greece,” he added, according to the paper, citing Weinstein.

I’ve read the case files and I don’t question GF
I don’t believe the letter written by the disbarred attorney.
He even lied about his divorce in it.
If what they say is true then why hasn’t FD provided proof.
FD is lying,he’s still making money from Fore Group and he’s hiding it.
He asked his friends to write letters after the divorced attorney filed a motion to keep FD from offering financial evidence, because JD and her attorney knew it was false and it’s still false.
He’s had over a year to back up these claims and he hasn’t.

In the last FD/Pattis hearing No Case Norm brought up the issue of the FD iPhone being provided to NCPD at the time he was interviewed.

An attorney was mentioned at the hearing as being with FD at the NCPD station and Pattis badly butchered the name of the attorney that was with FD. Since we will no doubt be seeing the affidvit from Atty Pyetranker about this matter soon, I wanted to bring him into the thread with a bit of basic information available in the Family Court records.

It appears the attorney that No Case Norm was referencing as being with FD at NCPD was Yakov Pyetranker, Esq. of Stamford, CT who is a divorce specialist and solo practitioner. Atty. Pyetranker had previously represented FD in the divorce case.

It is interesting to note that JD/Atty filed a motion in 2018 to disqualify Atty. Pyetranker in Family Court.

266.00 05/09/2018 P MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
J. PYETRANKER & THE LAW OFFICE OF COHEN & PYETRANKER, PC OR BAR DEF PRO SE

Police continue searching local park for missing New Canaan mother as children at center of contentious custody battle are with armed guard in New York City apartment

"But in court filings asking the court to make his wife pay his legal fees Fotis Dulos said that his wife is worth more than him. In a filing seeking to have his wife pay his legal expenses, an attorney for Dulos said that she has an annual net income of $390,000, according to a sealed financial affidavit Jennifer Dulos was required to submit".

"The attorney, Yakov Pyetranker, said that’s four times Fotis Dulos’ income. He sought $50,000 to offset legal fees but the judge rejected it".

It is unclear from the Family Court documents if Pyetranker resigned from the divorce case due to nonpayment of legal fees from FD or whether the Court approved the Plantiff request to disqualify.

@sbs71, Is this the letter you are referencing? - see attached below:

You said, "He asked his friends to write letters after the divorced attorney filed a motion to keep FD from offering financial evidence, [BBM] because JD and her attorney knew it was false and it’s still false".

Where did you see this filing? I was trying to follow along with you but am confused. Is this in the civil case or family court?

Is this the same David M. Ford that we are seeing in FD case?:

Quotes from article:
"David M. Ford, YPC's founder and president, dismissed complaints against the company and said he would not discuss them in detail. "Anybody can make any allegation they want," he said. "I'm not going to respond to baseless allegations."

"Ford, a former minor-league baseball player, founded YPC in 1990 after a few years as a standout yellow page ad salesman for Southern New England Telephone. He said his company has thousands of satisfied clients and complaints are generated by a tiny fraction of clients who simply refuse to pay their bills".

"The Attorney General's office, which for several years has worked to mediate disputes involving Yellow Page Consultants, recently revived a broader investigation of the company's business practices, based on a spate of new complaints".

"And just this spring, in an unusual legal tactic, lawyers for a group of 15 clients being sued by Yellow Page Consultants came together and persuaded a judge to consolidate their cases under the state's "complex litigation" docket. Ford fought the move, saying the cases are not complex at all. He also dropped his lawsuits against clients of the two lawyers leading the consolidation effort, effectively knocking those attorneys off the case".

"Lawyers say Ford has had success deflecting individual complaints against the company. "Now, with a group of them in the same court, hearing that same theme, that same story being played over and over again, his credibility goes out the window," said Timothy Brignole, a Hartford attorney who represents former clients of Yellow Page Consultants".

"David M. Ford of xxxx was released on a $10,000 cash bond Tuesday after being arrested earlier for two counts of perjury, two counts of altering court records, third-degree larceny and attempted first-degree larceny".

"Before his arrest for his alleged actions in the divorce case, Ford had been the subject of two complaints: that he lied to a judge about a love affair with a client; and that he ran a phony Yellow Pages consulting business".

"Ford's alleged activities in his divorce case were first reported to the Hartford state's attorney Oct. 10. The arrest warrant applications said a Superior Court judge complained that Ford altered documents in his divorce file after another judge entered a judgment in it, and had earlier perjured himself while testifying in the case".

"Court Clerk Theresa Ciancotti said David Ford approached her several times after one court hearing to ask that she add information to her clerk's notes about the court session, said Looby, but she refused to do so".

"Ciancotti said another court clerk, Catherine Jordan, told her that she confronted David Ford after she caught him writing on the legal separation judgment file, said Looby".

"Later, Ciancotti said she was shocked to find that the legal separation document had been altered, Looby said".

"Among the alterations in the agreement, said Looby, were provisions giving Ford a 50 percent interest in the estate of the parents of Dana Ford; and a potential of $40,000 from the sale of Dana Ford's 3.5-carat diamond wedding ring, the arrest warrant said".

"Last October, Superior Court Judge Jorge Simon declined to discipline Ford after he was accused by attorney Brian Woolf of having an affair with the wife of one of Woolf's clients whom Ford was representing."

Then it appears David Ford was at some time disbarred and approached the State for reinstatement of his licence:

Notice of Application for Reinstatement to the Bar

On January 15, 2015, David Ford filed in the Superior Court for the Judicial District of Hartford, in CV 15-5038798-S an Application for Reinstatement as an Attorney Admitted to the Practice of Law in Connecticut. The Application will be referred to a Standing Committee on Recommendations for Admission to the Bar.

Mary Baraiolo, Esq.
Assistant Clerk
Hartford J.D.

Notice of Application for Reinstatement to the Bar - CT Judicial Branch

Simply cannot make up these characters and these situations....how has FD managed to find all these people?

In 2/2018 JDs divorce atty filed this motion after FD turned in his financial documents:
200 02/23/2018 P MOTION IN LIMINE
BARRING DEFENDANT FROM OFFERING ANY FINANCIAL EVIDENCE OR MAKING ANY FINANCIAL CLAIMS AT HEARINGS, P

I assume FD said among other things that Fore Group wasn’t making money because of the divorce and then asked his friends to give evidence stating that was the case or maybe he wrote them himself. I don’t think the letters and emails are true because FD would provide proof to GF if they were. He’s just hiding the money.

JDs attorney also filed this:

489.00 05/08/2019 P MOTION FOR CONTEMPT PENDENTE LITE and for Sanctions for Defendant's Filing of an Improper and Misleading Financial Affidavit

Got it! Was this the same person, David M Ford, that presented the letter seen as Plaintiff exhibit in the Civil Case?

Did you see whether the legal license was ever reinstated? It looks like it was kicked up the chain in 2015 and then I'm not seeing anything further. His letterhead in 2017 doesn't detail that he is an atty so I suspect the license wasn't reinstated.

It’s the same guy
I don’t think he was reinstated.
he’s writing a blog now and suing to be allowed to umpire.
There were other things he was accused of assault, graft, perjury, falsifying records in one of his divorces and bankruptcy filings.

 

[andalso]

Again, not defending FD. But, speaking of just the points you bring up. Living in a foreclosed home. Well, FD does not seem like a financial genius but it does seem to me that GF and JD didn't help the situation. Even the documents posted here yesterday showed all these folks backing out of sales because of the "contentious divorce". Wouldn't be surprised if well placed connections made strategic phone calls to inform well meaning people about the contentious divorce. Wearing a GPS bracelet. Well this is about the evidence tampering. Lot's of suspicion around that, true, but this is my "it's been three months and nothing new" argument. Leave the grandmother's house and live with him. I honestly can't say what's better. I don't know him nor do I know GF. I can't say who's better at raising the kids. But I do believe JD and GF were on a campaign to hurt him. Maybe he deserved it. And it's not a reason to kill her. But he was on the loosing side and appears to still be.

BBM: Yes, you are defending FD. You have a right to your opinion but at least own it!

 

[Hair of the Dog]

It may still come to identifying FD’s DNA as “trace”; we don’t know it was yet. Personally, I am betting that it wasn’t.

So sorry, I used the wrong term for the DNA transfer. It is all "touch/trace DNA", the DNA contributors are further identified as "major" and "minor" contributors.

I wonder if new searches means they have new evidence they have uncovered. It can't be totally random that they weren't searching and now they are, right.

 

[Curious in CT]

She had already left the school, is my recollection.

I don’t know-It wouldn’t surprise me if she requested that a moderator remove it; seems to me that someone could figure out who wrote it, and I can’t recall if the teacher was still at the school where the kids went (it could have gotten the person fired, I think)

 

[enelram]

I wonder if new searches means they have new evidence they have uncovered. It can't be totally random that they weren't searching and now they are, right.

Remember all the tips that came in had to be checked out and prioritized in LE's opinion of importance.
If there were 2500 tips, as reported, that takes
time and manpower to check them all out.
I'm glad to think they're investigating each viable lead/tip.
With just the number of tips, this is a huge undertaking for LE.

 

[Hair of the Dog]

I wonder if new searches means they have new evidence they have uncovered. It can't be totally random that they weren't searching and now they are, right.

JMO but I think they have been quietly searching all along as new evidence presents itself and as they get lab results back. They are just not large scale searches so they have stayed under the radar. MOO
