Dulos was angry that he was unable to see his children. Heller had restricted his contact with them after he lied about them having contact with his then-girlfriend Michelle Troconis.
Troconis has been arrested three times since the disappearance of Faber Dulos. In the most recent arrest Jan. 7, she was charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the disappearance of Farber Dulos. Her case is pending.
“I speak to them on the phone once a week on a recorded line!” Dulos wrote, referring to the arrangement he had to talk to his children.
It’s unclear what Dulos expected to get from writing the letter, although he does ask the commission to take a closer look at his case and claims that he is being discriminated against because of his Greek origin.
Heller was unaware that the letter was written and told Dulos she should have been informed. She also told Dulos at a court hearing that it didn’t matter anyway.
“And — so I’ve been approved for reappointment. I’ll put it that way. So whatever complaint Mr. Dulos made, the Judicial Section Commission has approved me for reappointment. But I did not have any knowledge of it, and I think I should have been informed,” Heller said, according to court transcripts of a March 2019 hearing.
But a day after that hearing, Heller issued her new custody orders, which increased the amount of time that Dulos could see his children to every other weekend and Wednesday evenings as long as a court monitor was present.
The last time Dulos saw his children was on May 22, when he spent more than an hour at their New Canaan home eating dinner in the backyard while Farber Dulos and the nanny for the children, Lauren Almeida, were inside.
Dulos spent more than an hour outside the home but never went in, according to Colangelo.
After Farber Dulos’ disappearance, Heller held fewer and fewer court dates and did not schedule any hearings after Meehan requested a status conference in early January.
In his letter, Dulos said there were 389 pleadings at the time he wrote it.
There are now 544.
The last one was filed Friday by attorney Richard Rochlin, notifying the court that Fotis Dulos was dead.
I agree the Judicial Selection Commission should have notified the judge of his letter, and she should have notified both parties.
