On Monday morning, state detectives and their search dogs could be seen gathered in the southwest corner of the “mulch pile” off of Lapham Road.
An open area where the town long kept ground-up leaves and debris in neat rows, the mulch pile has been available in the past to town residents seeking to pick up mulch for use on their own properties…
The area also is adjacent to a section of Lapham Road where Fotis Dulos
parked a pickup truck on the morning of the murder. He then pedaled a bicycle to Jennifer Dulos’s Welles Lane house and waited for her, investigators have said in police affidavits, bound and killed her, cleaned up the scene and put her body and bicycle into her own black
SUV, driving it back to Lapham Road and leaving the vehicle parked there for authorities to find…
Though the town formally relocated the mulch pickup to the Transfer Station across town, it wouldn’t be unusual given local custom to see a person park there with a bag or shovel, especially during the summer. Public access to the mulch pile area is prohibited, though the 13th tee of the frisbee golf course at Waveny—accessible by foot—is located on the northwestern corner of the lot.
