Silver Alert CT- Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 #10 *ARRESTS*

[MemPat]

Being a builder/developer IS a real job. Taking loans is not out of the ordinary in that business. Not everyone who lives in luxury was born in luxury. Some people got there with hard work.

I didn't read the comment as a criticism directed at the profession but at a family-financed pretender to the profession.

 

[enelram]

Yes, Chloe! Truth-packed-paragraphs, girl ! Now FD is trying to look productive for the press as he sweeps the doorway.....Such a workaholic!

If only his father=in=law could see him now.....w/ankle jewelry.

I didn't read the comment as a criticism directed at the profession but at a family-financed pretender to the profession.

But he did build and sell a number of houses. What difference does it make if you get a loan from a bank, your father in law or another private investor? Why his business eventually got in trouble, that's another matter.

And this pretender actually had a construction project manager
for 12 years who I'm sure was the hands on the job worker bee.
Festis was just the figurehead on paper.

Yes most people work hard to have a luxurious lifestyle, if that’s what they desire.

My husband’s uncle is a builder. Hard working man.

FD was a grifter and the job a charade. He probably never lifted a finger and hired people to actually work.

He could had his father-in-law bankroll him in *any job front* he decided. It was not going to be profitable or legitimate because FD is a con man.

I'm so glad than now the world knows this guy for what he is..
a tanned Greek Gigolo.

I don't presume to know all the details but it appears he wasn't the hard working businessman he pretended to be and certainly didn't operate on the up-and-up.

Jennifer's family is suing him for two and a half million dollars of swindled money IIRC.

I feel sure we'll get to learn the ins and outs of his "success" before it's all over.

Yes, Exactly.

With all due respect, I think FD is overqualified for a project manager position. It may not be a popular opinion but I do not think his actual intelligence is an issue. When people are entrenched in an emotionally charged situation, they can do really dumb things--including exaggerate how much money you can make to in-laws you really want to impress. I certainly have no love for FD, but IMO, he is more than a figurehead.

My guess is they haven't needed to. He's out on bail with an ankle bracelet. Once he is charged he is entitled to a speedy trial. He's got a good lawyer and the prosecutors know that. I think they are trying to gather as much evidence as possible before they charge him. Still combing the landfill, vetting 900 tips, 80 videos from the locals,and probably many more videos from the streets. They have a lot to go on, IMO.
Did you catch the video with LE posted this morning?

I didn’t! I need to go back and look. Thank you.

 

[mom2chloe]

If he’s an avid skier then he must have a boat or more. A waver runner or jet-ski? I’m late coming to this thread and maybe it’s been asked before but is it possible he would have disposed of the body via boat or other watercraft and perhaps this is why they went with video of documented dumping trash bags in various dumpsters all while carrying his cellphone and dumping license plates?

He is a master manipulator and likely planned this well. I hope LE have searched water because the whole scenario is too convoluted to sit well with me. IMHO

I haven't been on the thread today so perhaps this has already been posted. FD is going after JD as a defense, as predicted:

Lawyer claims ‘troubled’ Jennifer Dulos orchestrated her own ‘Gone Girl’ disappearance

 

[Michigan]

They can arrest him any time. However, having followed a few similar cases, it is my opinion that LE likes to recover the body if at all possible. The first case I ever sleuthed was Scott and Laci Peterson. LE had quite a bit of circumstantial evidence against Scott, but they waited to arrest him until they recovered the bodies of Laci and Conner. It took four months. IMHO, LE wants to build the strongest possible case.

The fact that it took a longer time to find Laci and that Scott was brought to justice has been giving me hope that they will be able to located JD this case will also be successfully prosecuted.

Well apparently having a degree in math and economics didn't
prepare him to know how to build suitable homes for a given
location. He overbuilt for the Farmington-Avon area. And he
wasn't too shrewd about marketing either as they're not moving.
A good builder knows his market, his local buyers and builds to that market. FD did none of that. He was like a kid with a HUGE
box of leggos building the biggest McMansions so he could
show them off like trophies.
This is pretty common in builders who aren't hands on and who
did not work their way up the construction ladder.
He was handed a pile of money and jumped into the construction business feet first, not having paid his dues.

Well, borrowing over 2 million dollars from your wife's father certainly has it's advantages. Especially if you are not sure you can ever pay it back.
I doubt he would have been able to borrow that kind of money from a bank. Imo

Holy Hell.

I blasted him yesterday for this ridiculous approach, but the quotes in this article basically represent a “double down.”

You’ve got to be kidding me.

I want to grab him by his ponytail, and shake some sense into him.

The lawyer told The Post Jennifer penned a 500-page “Gone Girl”-esque manuscript years ago (which he admits he has yet to read himself).

“This is a person who has a pretty florid imagination and motives to use it to hurt Mr. Dulos,” said Pattis.

He added, without producing any documentation, that Jennifer had a “troubled past” and “struggled with heroin her whole life.” He claimed she “had a relationship with a person who would import heroin from Cambodia” prior to dating Fotis.

One might forgive MT for not asking questions except for the fact that word was out by that evening that Jennifer was missing.

If your boyfriend had spent the evening of his reviled wife's disappearance dropping garbage bags in random cans (bags that smelled so much like death you had to hang out the window), wouldn't you scoot yourself on down to the police station as soon as you were free of him?

Sorry, I'm not buying any "clueless MT" scenarios.

MT certainly was not clueless.
For years she knew of the hatred FD had for Jennifer, she was well aware of finances, and she wanted to be with this creep.
Jennifer being gone, would have achieved, in MT's eyes, a comfortable life, for herself and her daughter, living with FD.
Her existence, was to help FD.
Down the track, we may know, how much she was involved with Jennifer being missing.
MOO.

Yes, you are right. He certainly seems overzealous and reckless. IMO, easy to be that way regardless of intelligence. I was just giving my opinion on his intelligence and clout in the company. If he was able to overbuild (do you have a link for that? sorry, I've been away for a while), then he definitely had the clout. Doesn't make him a good businessman, though--no matter what degrees or money he accumulated--that I agree with you 100% on.

He thinks that everyone is stupid.

I have a hunch he will prove that truth is most certainly stranger than fiction--even Gone Girl!!

More like his fiction is stranger than Hollywood fiction.

He’s taken “Gone Girl,” and remade it into a farce.
