For some reason today I was thinking about MT role in the overall situation and her relationship with Fd. MT was a 44 yo woman, unmarried, one child and single parent who had a poor relationship history and no career who seemed content to randomly bounce around from job to job and relationship. At the time of JFd disappearance MT had been in CT probably a little over 2 years, the Dulos divorce was ongoing with no end in sight as no trial had been scheduled and MT was 44 years old and not getting any younger. Did she want another child and was committed to the Fd relationship or was she satisfied with being a mistress and working for FORE Group? What exactly was the relationship status with Fd? Was MT simply being used by Fd to torture and torment JFd and as such was disposable? We saw Fd say in the Dateline interview that he was 'enamoured' with MT? The word choice might not have been the best but to some this might imply infatuation rather than commitment to a relationship. But, IDK. We see in AW1 and AW2 that MT and Fd are together every step of the way from going to the ATM to get the cash for EE truck detailing to MT picking up FD and returning him to car wash. We also see FD and MT working as a very clear team to do whatever it was they were doing at 80MS IMO too?
But, is this who MT really is? How much involvement does she have in what happened to JFd?
I started a list of some of the 'knowns' and 'unknowns' so feel free to add/substract to the list to see if we can make progress even with very little information:
Fd and MT seemed inseparable in AW1 and 2 (Albany trip and Cleaning at 80Ms). Perhaps, Fd just doesn't like to be alone and just wants constant attention and companionship and MT was his covenant companion who did what she was told? With 5 young children there was no way JFd could do this and I very much wonder how much it bugged Fd?
Just putting the few known details about her for consideration:
MT:
-44/45 yo
-Bilingual - Spanish English - language at home believed to be Spanish
-Twin and her brother died (not sure we know when?)
-Possibly troubled childhood - time spent in NYS ranch for troubled kids - was it due to death of brother or drugs/alcohol or other issues?
-Parents divorced (we don't know when - Father believed to be in another relationship presently)
-College Psychology in Venezuela
-Training in MI for equine Therapy
-Work history spotty and uncommitted - no professional focus
-By all accounts simply likes to ride and ski with no other interests or focus on work
-marketing in Argentina for Begue ski resort, club promoter in Miami, equine therapy in Dubai, misc for FORE Group believed to be social media and web work
-one failed Long Term Relationship with child
-receiving child support from bio dad - will eventually end and MT has zero track record of being able to financially support herself
-marriage to motorbike racer ended due to her affair most likely with Fd
-affair with Fd started in 2015
-conducted affair in Miami and eventually moved in CT in 2016/2017
-worked for FORE Group (salary in range of $120,000/yr)
-not believed to own real estate in CT
-owns condo in Vail CO with Begue (interesting choice IMO as JFd had lived in Aspen and gone to Aspen for years)
-openly conducted affair in Farmington with Fd which couldn't have endeared her to locals
-her daughter attended same school attended by the Dulos children when her daughter first came to CT - We don't know if this was Fd or MT driven choice - but IMO there is a story here that could be telling.
-traveled extensively with Fd (Greece, Argentina, FL, Spain, Vail)
-her family seemed to 'embrace' the relationship with Fd - numerous trips to CT by all it seemed - Why? Daughter with troubled past, multiple failed relationships starts an affair with a married guy and is involved in complicated and acrimonious divorce - not sure what family would see this as a positive move for their daughter and might question moving from FL to CT to get involved
-MT and her daughter move into 4Jx when JFd and the 5 children depart
-daughter goes to school in CT at EW school as a daily student
-MT supposedly drives daughter to school and back daily and does not use the bus program
-MT to date has not been cooperative with LE (stated in AW1 and less clear statement in AW2, even after she admitted to lying for 2 months) - open issue I believe
-AW1 shows MT lying to LE for 2 months about basic details of 5/24 missing date
-AW1 shows MT in the Raptor on Albany Avenue with Fd disposing of items
-AW2 introduces the idea of the 'alibi scripts' - Unlikely IMO that 'innocent and uninvolved folks' need 'alibi scripts' and what I find fascinating is that Fd had MT write HER OWN 'alibi script'
-AW2 shows MT admitting to LE that she lied but she only seems to respond to questions if shown a picture or direct evidence
-AW2 shows MT assisting Fd with cleaning EE truck at 80 MS
-AW2 shows Fd tossing a contaminated rag that most likely had JFd blood on it to MT
-AW2 shows MT assisting Fd by going with him to ATM to pick up cash to pay for the EE truck detailing
-AW2 shows MT picking up and dropping off Fd at Car Wash for EE truck detailing
-AW2 shows MT playing 'hide the keys' with EE truck keys to keep him from taking truck for the weekend
-The DM photos of MT and Fd at 4Jx as they were being escorted to Litchfield show a MT seeming to 'take charge' with LE which I always found quite fascinating. Fd was more in the background and observing while MT made the rounds and was interacting with LE based on what we see. Was the MT role in the relationship to 'take care of Fd and things in their lives in general'?
-MT supposedly 'breaks up with Fd' in 11/2019 and removes her belongings from 4Jx
Questions:
When exactly did MT move to CT? 2016 or 2017?
Where did MT live when she came to CT? Was 585 Deercliff Property really developed for MT or was it part of a scheme to hide money from JFd? IMO something about that transaction really bugged JFD which was why her atty's went to the mat in Family Court fighting about it? Not sure we know exactly why though.
Did Fd really think that JFd would remain at 4Jx with the children and that MT would live at Deercliff and that he was surprised when JFd fled with the children?
Did MT contribute anything financially to relationship with 4Jx?
Did MT have 'assigned' house duties or any responsibilities in the relationship or did Fd hire people to clean and take care of the property?
Does MT have any 'voice' in the relationship with Fd or was her role simply as the classic passive mistress?
Did MT want more children and was pressuring FD to wrap up the divorce?
Was MT fed up with the divorce drama?
Did MT have any interest in step parenting 5 Dulos children?
Was MT just an accessory to FD and travel/living companion or was there something beyond this to the relationship?
What did MT think about JFd? Resentment, Anger, Indifference, Rage etc.
Did JFd make MT feel powerless and as if JFd controlled the MT/Fd relationship? Keep thinking about how mad FD must have been to give up access to his children due to the MT relationship. Did he do this for MT or did he do it to JFd to send the message that you can't control me/us MT/Fd?
We have the story from
@thekirbyfamily from MT hairdresser about MT 'killing mice or bats (I don't recall which)' with pleasure which was deleted by Mod, but I thought it was significant.
-MT timeline on 5/24 and the space before and after this is largely undefined.
-Was MT job on 5/24 to simply watch Fd phone which was left at 4Jx or was she actually in NC on the missing date?
-Why does MT continue to not cooperate with LE? Or, is this false?
Other:
Fd seems to have worked hard based on what we see in AW2 IMO to directly implicate MT and ditto for EE. I would think MT would have had to be pretty stupid not to see this and I do wonder if she didn't see it or it wasn't an issue, simply because she was much more or equally involved at Fd.
MOO
