Narcissists don't accept responsibility for their actions and I think FD would continue to live as if he did nothing wrong, and JD voluntarily disappeared. Also, I don't think FD would have taken the children any distance from their grandmother. Clearly, even during the divorce and missing person investigation, FD believed he would (and should) continue to receive an annual gift distribution from his mother-in-law.
If you listen to reporters covering MT, she allegedly has supportive friends and the business community in CT (i.e., ties to the community). If FD remained in CT, MT wasn't going anywhere.
Nope... FD was shameless. He'd eventually leave the area but not immediately and not because he was "run out of town."
MOO
I Respectfully disagree.
No Doubt in my mind that Fd was prepared to abscond with the 5 children and do so Immediately.
In addition, Fd could Not guarantee that the children would Not be removed from him when he refused to return them after the holiday weekend. As He saw it, who was he supposed to return them to?
Family Court may have eventually given Fd custody at some Future date.
However, and this is a HUGE HOWEVER, Jennifer's disappearance did Not and does Not Negate the fact that Fd was under 'Supervised' Visitation.
That 'Supervised' Visitation Does Not immediately become null and void just because Jennifer is missing.
The Family Court Judge did Not impose Supervised Visitation on a whim. According to the Judge, FD had serious issues that had to be addressed and those issues did not become null and void just because Jennifer is missing.
The ONLY Action by Fd that could Guarantee his complete custody of the children at that particular point in time, was to Immediately Abscond with them.
Yes, the children's American Passports were submitted to the Court at the beginning of the Divorce and Custody case.
However, According to FC, Fd had began the process of applying for Greek Passports for the Children. The FC Judge instructed Fd that he was Restricted from completing those applications.
Throughout the Divorce and Child Custody Case, Fd treated ALL Instructions by the Judge as 'Optional'.
As Fd Testified in Civil Court, Fd 'Respectfully Disagreed' with the FC Judge and that is Why he Lost All Contact with the 5 children for 10 MONTHS.
Did Fd 'Respectfully Disagree' with the FC Judge about those Greek Passports for the Children?
When Jennifer Farber dulos was Brutally Murdered, Fd had Just Recently received 'Supervised' Visitation after 10 Months of No Contact and Only After he began completing the Judge's Requirements for the reinstatement of 'Supervised' Visitation.
The FC Judge giving Fd 'Supervised' Visitation, SAYS IT ALL.
The FC Judge did Not Trust Fd.
So, Why would the FC Judge Immediately Give Fd Full Physical Custody of the 5 Motherless Children, Just Because their mother was missing?
IMO, Fd had no choice but to abscond with the children, Immediately.
As part of the FC Record, Fd Did Threaten to take the children to where everyone wore snow skiing attire for the entire year. Venezuela, perhaps?
Greece Does have an Extradition Treaty with the US. However, this is for the Criminal Fugitive and the Criminal Fugitive ONLY and ONLY IF Greece Followed Through with Their Commitment to the Treaty.
Yes, That is Correct. A Treaty Country could and sometimes do, Refuse to Extradite the Fugitive.
Regardless, the Treaty Does Not cover the innocent Children and They would NOT be Returned to the US regardless of Fd's extradition.
The way I see it, Fd, MT and All 6 children could hop on a Commercial flight at Bradley International with those newly printed Greek passports.
Or, Private plane to Venezuela and then take a commercial flight to Greece.
Of Course, the Private Plane could go directly to Greece, but refueling concerns may come in to play depending on the aircraft, whereas several refueling options outside the US for a flight to Venezuela.
IMO, Fd expected the Nanny to be clueless and just bring the children to him that Saturday morning and GAL Meehan be none the wiser in regards to a visitation supervisor. Thus Allowing Fd the Unsupervised opportunity to Immediately Abscond with the Children. Any Reasonable person would expect visitation be cancelled, under the circumstances, and IMO Meehan was also under this impression. But, Fd is Not Reasonable.
We Know, that Fd arrived at Dr.GF's building in NYC Without the Court Ordered Supervisor that weekend. NYPD was called to the location when Security refused entry to Fd. NYPD in turn, contacted CT and learned that Fd was Not Allowed Unsupervised Visitation and was subsequently sent on his way by NYPD. Had Fd arrived With the Supervisor, they may have needed to allow him some form of visitation.
In previous threads, we discussed Fd/MT Need for another Large vehicle. They in fact Rented a Vehicle with at least 5 working vehicles at their disposal. Fd's Ford F150, Chevy Suburban, Jeep Cherokee, the BMW, and an older Toyota Truck. (Not EE's Toyota truck)
So, Why do 2 drivers Need a 6th vehicle? Even if MamaA were to need a vehicle, 5 vehicles are enough for 3 drivers.
IMO, With JFd out of the picture Fd Needed a higher occupancy vehicle for when he expected to receive the children. In Fd's mind, with JFd out of the picture, MT and child would not be forced to remove themselves from 4JC. Fd and his 5 children with MT and her 1 child, makes 8 people. Fd's 2015 Suburban only seated 7 people.
IMO, the Yukon vehicle Fd Rented, seated 8.
Would anyone arriving at 4JC notice ALL 5 of Fd's vehicles in the windowed doors to the garages and Not Suspect that he Absconded with the children in a Rented vehicle?
Would anyone seeing the highly tinted windows of a rented Yukon on the road, Suspect that it carried Fd and All 8 of the people in question and that these 8 were Absconding?
On another aspect. Fd's house of financial cards were collapsing. Had Fd stayed in the US, it would have been beyond detrimental to him. Who knows if or when he could begin receiving JFd's annual trust fund income and who knows if or when the children's education trust fund income would continue. The children's education trust fund Could continue, for the fund manager already paid the expenses directly to the educational entities and the money Never went through Fd or even JFd.
However, IMO, HF protected JFd's trust fund and Fd would have Never received the income or at the very least, have any control over the income. I believe that This information is what MT was sent to find at the Probate Court in Manhattan. No such luck. Trusts are not filed in Probate. Even IF Fd received JFd's income, it was paid in 4 quarterly installments per year of just under $100,000.00 per quarter. When you are literally drowning in MASSIVE Debt, the money cannot come fast enough and in Fd's case, it Definitely would Not have come fast enough before he lost it ALL, Even IF he would receive any of JFd's trust income after a lengthy legal battle with Dr.GF.
In conclusion, IMO, Fd had money stashed in Greece and we know that he had 2 vehicles stashed in Greece, and we know the creditors were knocking down his front door while he was headed out the back door and in Fd's mind, With the 5 motherless children, headed to Greece.
Fd could still continue the fight for the trust income, while the children were already safely tucked away in Greece.
IMO.
