With you on testing the system.
I keep going through the timeline of yesterday and so far as I can tell the only people apparently NOT looking for Fd at Noon in Stamford were Atty Colangelo and CSP. Why?
I know if I were Judge White I would be incendiary and ditto for Atty Colangelo. Yet, it wasn't the tracking people that apparently alerted on Fd not being where he was supposed to be yesterday IMO based on the reporting we saw yesterday. Why?
Maybe we don't have the full story but I do hope Judge White investigates what is going on the with monitoring as I'm not convinced that Judge Blawie and Atty Colangelo resolved the monitoring situation following the previous Fd 'detour' into Westchester County.
Yesterday we saw the bail person most likely make the call to Farmington PD for the wellness check at 11:54am and then we have Atty Smith in Stamford getting concerned that his client was nowhere to be seen at 12:15pm. Atty Smith was baffled to not see his client in Stamford IMO.
Monitoring folks had to have approved the departure from 4Jx to Stamford and so with real time tracking would have be alerted that Fd had left 4Jx. Fd NEVER left 4Jx yesterday (except by ambulance) and so I wonder where the monitoring people were and why CSP weren't on top of the Fd movements yesterday. Clearly the results of not being on top of the bracelet situation IMO speak for themselves and have been played out now for nearly 24 hrs. with continual media coverage.
The travel time from Farmington was known and the location of Fd and time he was due in Stamford IMO was also known. Yet why did it appear that nobody knew that Fd didn't depart 4Jx in time to make it to Stamford yesterday? Real time tracking capabilities exist with the bracelet and that was how it was able to be determined that Fd had never left 4Jx. But what is the point of having the technology with the bracelet if its not being utilised properly to track a person accused of murder who has a vested interest IMO of flight?
What I wonder also is if nobody on the monitoring side was watching Fd yesterday to make sure he left 4Jx as scheduled, who is to say that at somewhere between 10 (possibly when the person staying with him left 4Jx) and 10:30 am (when he got phone call from the Hartford bail person) instead of trying to commit suicide he simply got in his car and went to the local airfield and got in a plane and simply headed north or for parts unknown. Fd yesterday IMO could have escaped and had at least a 1.5-2 hr jump on LE and it appears that CSP and Atty Colangelo would never have known.
Yesterday was interesting because there was a fixed time where many people were looking for Fd (he was supposed to be in Court for his hearing at noon). Whats also interesting is that Fd had to get approval to leave 4Jx and drive to Stamford and be there for a period of time (assume 1.5 hrs on the road). This put Fd on the roads in CT and if he had gotten in his car yesterday and based on what it seems like might be going on with the monitoring, I'm not at all sure he couldn't have also driven in a totally different direction for a good long time before someone figured out what was going on and attempted to find him?
I find this quite disturbing and I have to say that I don't have much confidence in what we are seeing regarding the bracelet monitoring! The tech on the bracelets is quite clear and we have discussed them endlessly here on WS. But if nobody is watching then what is the point of the bracelets?
I hope Judge White or someone in Hartford or Stamford tracking this case investigates what happened yesterday and how so much time was allowed to Fd without apparent supervision and not following his prearranged travel plan without seeing CSP showing up at 4JX. IMO CSP should have been at 4jx if there was no alert that Fd had left 4Jx by 10:30am. Instead, we saw Farmington PD scrambling to enter 4Jx shortly after 12:00pm.
Not sure what is going on but little about this timeline and tracking makes much sense to me. The Judge released Fd with very serious charges and took it for granted that he was being monitored. Now, it appears that this might not have happened in the way that the Judge expected.
Hartford I think we just might have a problem here!!!!!!!
MOO
Good points all,
@afitzy, feels like deja vu all over again to me.
I'm Still Just Incredulous about how loose things were and continue to be instead of keeping a "tight watch" on this Mighty Mouse-like fellow (The Mouse That Roared).
I think FD was Always going to look for openings to "
give life in CT the slip" once the millions stopped flowing from his FIL in 2017, and monies were actually expected to be paid back, and the houses and properties he "owned" or was "working on" through Fore Group were dwindling down and over-valued:
1.0) while still married to JFd
(e.g., when he threatened to take the children to Greece and disappear to a foreign country where people wear ski masks, and they would never be found)
2.0) right after he killed JFd
(e.g., when he drove to NYC the next day to get the kids from their grandmother's apartment for his scheduled visitation in CT! With Their Mother Missing! And was turned away by armed security)
3.0) after being charged in AW1 & AW2 for involvement in JFd's disappearance and death
(e.g., when he got out of jail on bail and "accidentally" drove over the State line into NY, and neglected to "charge" his GPS ankle monitor and was admonished in Court to keep it charged, now now)
4.0) after being charged in AW3 for murdering JFd
(e.g., when he got out of jail on bail and "house arrest", and was still able to drive around and do stuff like get the bail surety agent to leave the house yesterday so he could stage his, I mean attempt to commit suicide)
And yesterday was V4.0.
With V1.0 - 3.0 being leaving the state, the country, absconding with kids or MT -- preferable to "attempted suicide" but not doable for him financially anymore -- maybe.
I say "maybe" it wasn't doable for FD financially to arrange to flee the country on his recent bond because he was obviously running low on valid collateral, BUT that doesn't mean he didn't have hidden funds and scenarios set up with willing accomplices to get him out of the country before "permanent jail" occurred and he could no longer walk freely and do an escape act.
I think he just suddenly ran out of time to hit the trigger on his "favorite" escape plan with the night before warning on the emergency bond hearing not giving him enough time to do that one.
So he "attempts to commit suicide" and ends up in a NYC hospital instead of being locked up in jail like he probably was about to be.
That is always going to bother me, regardless of his actual state of mind (his family & lawyers seemed to have missed) and seriousness on the suicide attempt and desire to be dead --
The simple fact that FD achieved in less than 24 hours a huge change in legal & monitoring status -- from being out on bail with house arrest with a GPS monitor in CT, to none of that in a hospital in NYC.
All JMO.
