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

[Herat]

Whether or not she had security (and honestly, we do not know IIRC), that doesn't mean any security precautions would've stopped someone determined to harm her.

I think the only issue with security at her home, imo, is whether any devices captured info that will be useful to the case.

My guess is that the security company will have some information from her security system about when that door from the garage was opened/closed. Usually the alarm system is set up as a magnet door alarm, where at least a chime goes off when the door is opened, breaking the magnetic contacts. I don't see them in the realtor photos, but they might have a different technology.

Anyway, I think there's a good chance LE can better pinpoint the time she was attacked and he entered the home, after killing her. And when he re-entered the garage.

Or...if any system was disabled.

I believe it had a security system, based on the realtor photos where I see a security system panel in the mudroom area beside the door into the garage. I don't think it would have had cameras, based on what others have sleuthed. Like many people who have security alarm systems, she may have only had it on at night, not putting it on during daytime come-and-go activities.

Only her mother and sister probably know why she chose to stay there.

I have to say it is very close to the children's school and I don't see other houses within that same radius that appear to have gates or a more fortified position.

My guess is that she was thinking about what was best for the children

How long were the children at NCCS? If just since her move to New Canaan, she would have had no reason to stay in CT once she fled Fd.

I can’t imagine the kids went to NCCS while living in Farmington which is 1 hour 20 mins from New Canaan.

I’m local. No one would ever drive that far for school. There are private schools up near Avon and Farmington just as good.

There are not many gated communities in CT but there are some in Greenwich. Which would have put her closer to NYC. She could have lived in one of the gated communities and the kids went to GCDS instead of the very woodsy New Canaan.

Also, absolutely NOT blaming JD. But no security cameras, not even nest cams .. out in the sticks, it’s kind of creepy with all the woods around you, and it’s quiet and the houses are far apart. You need cameras and alarm .. I wished she would have gone to Greenwich ..

Given most people breaking into homes would be doing it during the daytime when most people are not home; I always make sure my security features are on whenever I am gone or come back into my home.
I always had a panic button on my key rings and if outdoors I wore it around my neck...
Given the isolation of homes there and the heroin epidemic in the USA right now;
Nobody should assume their home is safe unless you go in and your alarm is on and secure; including in the garage!

Yes, then blame the spouse who leaves the hostile home for running away, being hysterical and unstable.

It's called "Predator as Victim".

 

[Inthedetails]

So easy to second guess once a crime has been committed...ventures into victim blaming, imo.

[DEB-Z]

I moved to a gated community, after a horrific crime happened. I feel so much safer and nobody can drive by my home without getting cleated by security after I call them to give full name. Even cleaning lady needs a call to enter. I also keep my alarm on at all times.

 

[enelram]

I can tell you that from my own experience, I didn't worry too much about security until I had a robbery or two, then when I did install a sophisticated alarm system, I was still broken into while
I was home in the shower. the perp lifted the sliding door off the
track to get it unlocked and came in, looked around, realized I was
home and went back outside where I saw the perp. My alarm was
going off on top of my roof. the perp was an on duty deputy sheriff in full uniform. He actually pointed his drawn gun at me
through my bedroom glass doors when he knew I saw him.

Long story short, he lied about the details, etc. so all I could do was call his shift deputy and tell him to warn his deputies that a crazy woman with a sawed off
shotgun lived at this address and they better not be coming in again.
Women living alone put up with all kinds of problems and I'm sure JD was doing as best she could considering her circumstances.

Yes our cameras run 24/7 and are backed
up into the cloud for 30 days. When we get home from work, we review the day. Or check the cameras from our phones anytime.

Making sure the same cars aren’t driving by and no one creeping around the house. We have 5 cameras. If you kill me at my house. It will be caught on tape. So, your getting caught. You can still do it. BUT. You will get caught.

We are also alarmed with windows and doors chimes - announcing which window or door was opened.

In CT this is fairly standard among my friends. The houses are far apart and people keep to themselves. Not a real neighborhood vibe.

No precautions should be learned by others... I did learn the hard way too...
All sides of a crime should be examined..,
Conversations should be open and the investigation too!

Something I learned here. Put one more
Camera up IN the garage. We have them outside the garage. It never occurred to me someone would sneak in behind my car. Or somehow be in the garage when I pulled in. The cameras also can alert you to movement. So if someone was in my garage my phone would blink and the person would be picked up in my garage on camera and I would know not to pull in. Gah.

JD and FD reportedly enroled their kids in the school in question in 2017 because they intended to relocate to the area. That was before JD found he was having an affair.

 

[BellaVita]

Not victim blaming just wondering:
In a home if that size and price range, and if she felt threatened by her husband:
Why did she move to such an isolated home? The house does not appear to have security entrance gates, it did not apparently have cameras monitoring and recording the property, inside/outside of the home, nor an alarm system that included her garage, a panic button worn around her neck she can press to activate home alarm system if an intruder approached her, also no a private security consultant; Obviously money was no concern for her, or her family, given their lifestyles:
Why were these basic security features missing?:
Do not understand, if she seriously felt her life, and safety, were in danger, why she did not display any outright prophylactic precautions. Did her nanny live in the house full time?
Just, as an interior designer of very large homes and mansions I would say that security concerns is very basic normally and appear to be totally lacking here!
Also, as a prior RN who worked forensics;
Everyone that can afford protection should never overlook this feature... there are many many psychopaths relieved everyday from prisons; do not understand her lack of security/protection.,,

Initially when she left the home, she did have armed security. When you are involved with a person like this, you doubt your own mind. You wonder if this person is really as bad as you think he might be. Is it all your fault. What's wrong with you. A lot of other people like him. Could he really be that bad. You have hope that there is still decency in this person. Mine even had strong resemblance to FD and the coked up look which I believe he had that habit and hid it from me. This crime hits me very hard.

Sure, but we don't know what security she had (seems to be a judgement that she didn't take good enough care of this issue), we don't know if he knew about any security she had and disabled or skirted being detected, and we don't know if any system picked up info that will be evidence. We don't know.

But, that's just my opinion. Security is great, but hardly 100% effective in stopping a determined killer.

According to the Post, "the mom of five was a 'nervous wreck;' after filing for divorce from Fotis Dulos, her husband of 13 years, in June of 2017." Their source claims, "She knew how enraged he was that she took this step." The source told the Post that Jennifer e-mailed them and "expressed relief after successfully lobbying for a court-appointed guardian to get involved in her custody battle."

NY POST: Missing mom Jennifer Dulos was ‘afraid for her life' according to friend

This to me is incredibly important. She is the one who lobbied for a court-appointed guardian bc she knew how FD would do to destroy her character. It was important to her that the court be able to see the kind of mother and person JD truly was. Not the “unstable” mother and woman FD was making her out to be. Would an unstable horrible mother lobby for a court-appointed guardian? Would a person with something to hide or someone so afraid that they would lose custody bc of their mental instability lobby for a court-appointed guardian? Would that same horrible unstable mother be relieved that one had been appointed? I believe the answer is NO and NO and NO! JMO as always. She wanted one bc she knew that FD would do everything in his power to destroy and defame her character in order to gain custody of their 5 children.

Jennifer Dulos.

A Guide to Narcissistic and Sociopathic Parenting According to Fotis Dulos
“Hello children, I’ve missed you so much. I can only imagine what you must be thinking given that mommy has been missing for 4 weeks. Plus, they put me and Michelle in jail which must be very confusing to all of you. Well, you see, you were going to come to stay with me on Memorial Day Weekend, so I decided to meet mommy and pick up some of your toys and stuff. We were in the garage, when suddenly, mommy tripped, then fell, hitting her head on the hard cement floor. She started to bleed really bad and then just ran out into the woods?! I called for her because I thought she might need a bandaid?!!! I then panicked because there was so much blood!! I ran inside and got a sponge and started to clean the garage up…I was so upset and waved my arms in the air, which is how the splatter must have occurred. I then took the bloody clothes and sponges and put them in 30 garbage cans because I didn’t want them the garbage men to have to find so much blood in one container. I hate to say this, but you know mommy may have run away. Being a mommy is hard for her. I don’t know if you know this, but she does drugs, bad drugs like heroin, and she doesn’t like having to take you to waterskiing lessons, horseback riding, playdates, Greece….Michelle loves to do all that by the way. I love you and NP is going to make sure that we are together again once mommy comes back.” The kids reply “We love you dad.” Because sadly they do love him. FD is their dad.
Those 13-year-olds, with the help of some serious therapy (I can only hope) are already sleuthing the internet to find out what happened to their mom Jennifer. It will be their life mission if she is never found. Peace to the children of Jennifer Dulos.

Narcissistic spouses often don't want to leave their nice, expensive marital homes. Create a hostile environment, forcing their spouse to leave. IMHO.

I have worked for, been married to, and socialized with very wealthy men and women;
Most of the men had mistresses/girlfriends. It is very routine and most of the women are replaced every few years for younger and more attractive ones, or they have multiple affairs at once.
I even saw many wives with boyfriends.
Most spouses tolerate it, and seldom does one leave a spouse to marry that person.
It gets sad when the children are in the middle of this, and have to vacate their home, and secure existence:
One billionaire that I worked for changed the locks. When his stepchild tried to get into the house the key did not work.
This child had not been notified and was heartbroken...
Obviously her husband was not putting his children first. He then added insult to injury by moving a mistress and her child into the marital home. That is very shocking and had to cause extreme pain to all involved.

True, but security could also serve as a deterrent. If the perp knew there were cameras in and around the property maybe they would think twice before entering. Although in Missy Bevers's case, the cameras weren't enough.
