Deceased/Not Found CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #44

[afitzy]

She may be a tad conflicted after NP spoke out on that radio show today.

When he spoke about FD's suicide note proclaiming his great love and loyalty for MT.

Just today.

Was she listening?

Was her mother listening?

Moo.

I have to admit to being curious as to what Atty Bowman's next move might be with his client who seems incapable of telling the truth about much unless confronted with a photo or CCTV.

Atty Bowman IMO has a tough row to hoe here with his client.

I do admit also to being fascinated about the Atty. P. claim via the alleged Fd 'suicide note' that Atty. P. has in his possession information to 'explain' Albany.

Atty. P. is of course doing his usual game of '3 card monte' about this information he has in his possession as his 'explanation' he provided as to exactly what he had didn't IMO inspire much confidence and could possibly only be understood by someone after downing 5 shots of tequila in rapid succession (assuming they don't have to go to the ER for alcohol poisoning). Long story short based on his comments on the radio, it didn't appear that the Atty. P. 'story' is anything but 'half baked' at this point. He has some info but not all. My guess is that Atty. P. is baking up a pancake with no leavening agent and it will of course fall quite flat.

Anyway, what is interesting is that because Fd, MT and KM are all co-conspirators and I believe might have been heading down the path of being tried together (Atty. P. I believe said this at one point so take that comment given the source!), I do wonder if we might see some legal wrangling as being possible between Atty Bowman and Atty. P. regarding the information on Albany. Not sure this can happen but I do wonder if Atty. P. has information that might possibly assist the MT defense whether he would share it with Atty Bowman. Atty. P. doesn't impress me as being a philanthropist so I'm not sure how any information sharing might work.

Absent a solid PI of his own to get information to save his client MT, I'm not sure Atty Bowman has much to work with. The additional evidence to be presented by the State for the Conspiracy charges might be compelling. The tampering and hindering charges seem fairly clear cut and the AW evidence also looks clear so it seems like the big question is will the Conspiracy to commit murder charge be further developed and how long could MT be looking at in terms of sentence, if convicted?

The idea that in AW 3 LE never shared whether it corroborated the MT alibi (she seemed to be working still off the alibi script) is something I find quite interesting. Everything so far on the alibi script for Fd and MT and KM has fallen apart so I have no reason to think that the MT alibi will be any different. IDK. Did she tell the truth about the morning of the murder or not? Is she on CCTV being someplace she shouldn't have been? My suspicion is yes, but we will see.

I still got the sense that LE was leaving open the possibility for MT cooperation after she wasted their time with lies for so many months. I guess we will have to wait. But, I'm not sure what MT has to bargain with and I also believe that she is exposed to so many other charges relating to her time at FORE. We still don't know also whether MT filed taxes in CT or the Federal Govt? We are aware of her involvement with the 123 Hunter Property.

The big question might just be civil litigation against MT by GF. I do wonder about the same thing for Fd/Estate as I'm not clear whether his estate could be sued by GF even simply to prove the point quite clearly that he was guilty. I'm not sure once the dust settles there will be a penny distributed to anyone in the Dulos estate and it sadly appears likely he dissipated and spent the JFd marital assets as he self destructed.

Still lots of complicated legal questions regarding how all these matters get settled. We now have action in Probate Court too and I'm not sure the MSM have provided any clarity on how that process will play out. Also, the Civil Litigation hasn't been resolved with Judge Noble (TICK TOCK Judge Noble) so that will be another major factor in terms of claims on Fd estate such as it is. What I do wonder though is that if the Fd assets were pledged as part of the bond then I would think that something has to be resolved regarding the bond and its claim on the Fd assets prior to resolution of any other unsecured claims.

MOO

 

[afitzy]

Does anyone understand what could possibly be taking Judge Noble so long to rule on the Civil Case?

Is he on vacation or so busy that it takes months to decide?

Was also thinking about the situation with the Sturbridge Property where GF had her pretrial lien for the Civil Case? I wondered if Atty Weinstein will litigate any of the prior liens given that they were Fd 'friend' loans of possibly questionable validity? That property also had trade liens that fall into this category as well. It seems like the situation with this property will be quite unfortunate as The Savings Bank of Danbury allowed the Fd equity contribution to be withdrawn and then IMO possibly overlent based on current market conditions. But, I am quite curious as to whether the Fd 'friend' loans were funded and represent valid liens on the property or not and I'm sure Atty Weinstein will do his best to get to the bottom of the messy situation. The other question might also be whether we see Danbury Savings Bank possibly suing Fd for fraud as well for removing his equity from the project. Further, we haven't heard any litigation yet from People's Bank of Bridgeport and I very much hope that they didn't lend Fd money on an unsecured basis.

MOO

Who would agree to loan or fund a 40 year old man with no building experience what-so-ever on a whim project costing and wasting millions of dollars - on garish homes - in an area that won't sell..

How did JF talk her dad into helping fund this debacle..

If her Dad had said no, no banks would have worked with FD he had no experience..her Dad should have said NO. No. No....

If we went all the way back in time to a NO from Daddy Farber, Dulos has to keep his day job; they will live comfortably enough on JD 400k/year from her trust (or the like) and supplements but Dulos is working a DAILY grind...not vacationing or living like a man of leisure on a pet project of building..

I know nothing about Mr. Farber other than he was a very successful businessman, but could it be as simple as he wanted his daughter to happy. He must have been a very intelligent man to have acquired his success in life, and you’d think he wouldn’t have been taken in by his son in law’s “charming personality”. FD may even have pressured JD into convincing her Dad to help them start the business, and probably JD would since she loved him. IMO

 

[Tink56]

This may be an older article, but it does address the center of this case...and the author's hope is my hope too...

"But the fact is, while the alleged murder of a woman by her partner may indeed be an aberration among the manicured lawns and six-bedroom colonials of New Canaan, it should neither thrill nor shock the nation.

And in a few months time, when the true-crime podcast about Jennifer Dulos’ disappearance is inevitably made, I hope — as a fellow true-crime writer and producer — that her story is told for what it is: not an aberration, but an outgrowth of an insidious, national disease that even the wealthiest, most privileged among us cannot ignore."
Opinion | Who killed Jennifer Dulos? Why the arrest of her husband shouldn't shock us

From the same article:
In her 2019 book, “No Visible Bruises,” journalist and domestic-violence expert Rachel Louise Snyder paints an even more vivid and disturbing picture of America’s relationship-violence epidemic. She contends 50 women a month are shot and killed by intimate partners; 80 percent of hostage situations involve an intimate partner; and domestic violence is the third-leading cause of homelessness nationwide.

Jennifer faces continuing defamation even though she isn't here to protect herself. Domestic violence is not always massive physical assault...it's subtle, insidious, demeaning, and and cruel. Justice for all women who are involved in DV situations...before it's too late. And, Justice and Dignity for Jennifer.

Is the People's Bank the/a lien holder on Mountain Springs? I don't think there is any equity in Sturbridge, is there?

 

[MsJosie]

***
She can say she didn’t know what was in those bags - and perhaps she was intentionally shielded from certain specific details by design - but would have more credibility with anything she might now say if she hadn’t been caught telling so many lies and thus obstructing the pursuit of justice. IMO there is no logical explanation for her not being truthful to law enforcement when offered the opportunity multiple times over multiple months other than that she was a conspirator with something to hide.

Well, how can she explain her DNA in the bags....it is there!

 

[MollyDDD]

So true. She could at least disclose of where Jennifer's body could be found. Do this for FD children!

I agree. If that woman has one ounce of decency, reveal JD’s location. As a mother herself, she has to know how much GF and the children need to have that peace of mind. IMO

Thank you for posting these wonderful articles!

Each year in New Canaan during DV month, a purple pinwheel is placed on the front lawn of Town Hall (or adjacent area Vine Cottage) representing 1 DV case (I don't recall the national stat on how many unreported incidences exist for each reported incidence - but, think of how many more pinwheels there would be for ALL the incidences! NC is a small town of 20,000 people).

Each year there are more pinwheels and so the space needed for the display keeps growing. Its a heartbreaking reminder of how close DV is to so many in New Canaan.

I will see if I can find a picture of this past years pinwheel display. I wish I had the sequence of displays over the years to show the growth as I think it tells the story perfectly about how many people are touched by DV not just in New Canaan but all over Fairfield Country and CT.

Here is the picture from 2018 in New Canaan of the pinwheels:



Raising DV awareness in New Canaan was a total grassroots effort and the people surrounding this effort have done an incredible job IMO. Here is an article about some of the folks involved and the various initiatives they have undertaken in town:

Domestic Violence: Network strives to prevent town’s No. 1 violent crime

Quotes from article:

Despite underreporting, domestic violence is the No. 1 reported violent crime in New Canaan and neighboring towns of Westport, Darien, Wilton and Weston, according to the Domestic Violence Crisis Center (DVCC), which serves Stamford, Norwalk and the above towns. “People think domestic violence only touches the underprivileged and underserved populations when, in fact, it is not the case at all,” said Kevin Shippy, new executive director at DVCC and a father of two girls.


One of his goals as the new head of DVCC is to change the conversation around domestic violence. New Canaan Police Chief Leon Krolikowski reports 85% of domestic violence victims are women. Young women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest rate of domestic violence. According to the New Canaan Police Department website, in 2016 there were 73 family disputes to which police responded. Of those, 22 were between spouses, 19 were between children and parents, 24 were between boyfriend and girlfriend and eight were between siblings.

As much as we'd like to think MT will have an awakening and do the right thing by Jennifer's children, we can't forget that this is the total nutbag who was pushing along with FD to move with her teenaged daughter into Jennifer's home with her and the children. Then the kids would all go to school together and be one big happy family.

There is something so weirdly off about this woman that I can't picture it occurring to her to fill in the blanks of this murderous story.

She will likely make a few bucks off a carefully orchestrated interview some day, then disappear into the wind. Hopefully, prison will be where that wind is blowing her. I hold out no hope that she will ever add anything of value to this world.

Per usual @MollyDDD, you are ON IT!

Been thinking about this and how MT might respond in her litigation following the death of Fd.

While I would hope that she might change her tune, I'm just not seeing her changing (in part because of the ongoing influence of Mama A).

But, it has to be sobering to see a former lover of many years and co-conspirator take their life rather than entertain the prospect of returning to jail.

Assuming MT is not too tranquillised to process recent events, I wonder if the Fd death might impact her?

I'm not confident anything will change. I keep going back to those pictures of MT dealing with LE while Fd stood back when CSP picked them up to go to Litchfield for DNA processing. MT dealt with the police and never once made any attempt to assist the investigation. MT has simply seemed cold and uncaring throughout this process and then when you layer on her relationship history and choices it seems that she is kindly someone that you could call, 'a piece of work'. I do also wonder whether she veers into the sociopath category and possibly shared this in common with Fd? Its been a long time since I've seen someone as uncaring about finding a missing/murdered person as we saw with MT. The AW3 comment from the computer consultant where MT seemed more concerned about saving or hiding her photos vs the consultants comments about how terrible it was that JFd was missing, I do think is quite telling as to the character and personality of MT as it seems she simply doesn't give a [REDACTED] about anyone other than herself.

Atty Bowman has said next to nothing in this case but he has utter 2x I think the phrase that, "MT has been cooperative". I'm not sure what to make of this as I'm not sure about how much control Atty Bowman has over his client or if he know or cares too much about what MT knows or did. Perhaps Atty Bowman is "ON IT" too and has a PI and has an alternative theory, but my bet is that MT is toast.

Is the People's Bank the/a lien holder on Mountain Springs? I don't think there is any equity in Sturbridge, is there?

IDK about 80MS liens but People's I do know has no role at Sturbridge. Fd has land that I believe was part of the bond package as well so perhaps they have liens there. I'm having trouble reading some of the information so will see if I can figure it out tomorrow.

The thing I'm struggling with on the People's Bank loans is that the Fd properties have been sitting for quite a while now and these real estate loans are supposed to be short term accommodations and not represent capital investments. People's also isn't involved with 4Jx so I'm scratching my head as to how or if at all they secured their loans to Fd?

We know from Family Court that Fd presented different financial statements to the banks vs courts so I really have to wonder on what basis the banks verified the Fd information as we know that he never had his books audited or even reviewed.

MOO

Just putting a local NC article here about how the 'billing' for the JFd case might be playing out. Looks to be ongoing struggle is in process between local town and Hartford. Gotta love CT and its politics!

Quotes from article:

“My understanding is we are going to get a bill from the state because of the participation” of the state police in helping in the search for Jennifer Dulos, Moynihan said to New Canaan Police Chief Leon Krolikowski. They spoke during a Board of Selectmen meeting Tuesday, Jan. 21.

“It has been threatened, but I would be surprised if we are going to get one [a bill]. We shouldn’t pay,” Krolikowksi said.

After Jennifer Dulos disappeared, May 24, 2019, the state police and FBI searched for evidence in New Canaan with cadaver dogs in Waveny Park; with yellow labs to find her cell phone in land bordering Waveny Park; and her home at 69 [now 71] Welles Lane.

“I was given a heads up to expect a bill. I asked the chief. They do that sometimes, the state police if you call them in,” Moynihan said.

“I had heard through the grapevine in the past the state has sent a bill,” Selectman Nick Williams said.

“If they send us a bill, we won’t pay it and then we will go to court,” Krolikowksi said. “We help other agencies all the time. We have a cooperative relationship.”


“No one on the town side agreed to pay anything,” Krolikowksi said.

Does New Canaan owe state for Dulos case support?

Maybe this year they need to switch from pinwheels to windmills.
You know, to generate a little more attention.
And it could generate electricity to help reduce the outrageous bills at the same time.

There is something so tragic in this to me.
She fought so hard to be free of him, but he had told her he would never let her divorce him, and in the end he prevailed in that.

This is ridiculous. But also sadly typical. Maybe they can hire NP to represent them in court.

Where exactly is the jurisdiction of the CT state police and what is their mandate, are these optional investigations only for those who can pay? Last I checked NC was in the state of CT.
What do poorer, smaller towns do? They don't get murders investigated? Be careful where you get killed in CT I guess.

I just can't imagine NC getting a bill. The second part of the article is the same guy talking about how he heard from someone about some town. In reality, towns pay back if they get reimbursed by the federal government. The article points to Newtown which did pay back the CSP for their services.

IMO, it is a crazy day when a conversation like that gets played out in the town newspaper. In NY and CT, there are towns that have no LE except state police so the state police do the investigating from beginning to end. I think CT has more than 75 towns with either a resident trooper or under the care of a local troop. Will towns with no local police be charged by CSP for activities-- no. It makes no sense and serves to just rile up people and get them to question the activities of the local police.

This is the end of the same article stating that this is not in the cards and there is no mechanism for a pay back scenario--no memorandum of understanding or agreement in place in general or in specific.

"Generally, towns are not billed by the state police for help with law enforcement, according to several sources.

However, there appears to be one exception.

“I had heard it [a town getting a bill] has happened in a luncheon with other mayors and selectmen,” Moynihan said after the meeting. He did not remember who told him, but he said he had spoken with First Selectman Daniel Rosenthal of Newtown, among others.

Newtown paid back $664,444 for state police services after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in which 26 were killed on Dec. 14, 2012.

After the tragedy, $2.6 million was spent in law enforcement costs and Newtown was reimbursed for much of those costs by the Federal Victim Grant, according to Newtown Finance Director Bob Tait. The town in turn paid back the state for its help.

State Rep. Lucy Dathan (D-New Canaan and Norwalk) checked on the likelihood of New Canaan getting a bill.

“I spoke to the legislative contact at DESPP [Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection] and he indicated that this would not happen as there is not a mechanism for this to happen,” she said."
