Silver Alert CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 #13 *ARRESTS*

[Curious in CT]

Great point!... @CTGrammy and @3blue1pink mentioned that the house where FD's mother had been run over has been on the market since they moved to JC, and that the house is now dilapidated. Now, that all makes sense!

Everything FD owns is tainted in the marketplace. FD's reputation
has cast shadows on all his real estate. People are very wary of
getting involved in a business transaction with someone facing
potential murder and obstruction charges.
So these properties will have to be fire saled. Sold for cheap
prices to someone willing to invest in a property that comes with
a horrible story. That rules out many normal buyers.

I know someone who bought a large estate home on 50 ac. near
my area, got it for a steal after it sat for years on the market.
Why you say did it sit? Cause the owner went to jail for a few crimes like being a huge drug dealer/importer and the worst was
he ran over and killed his wife on the property. Yes they were
going through a divorce.

So my thoughts are that FD's properties may not sell for years
and he may likely have to give them up to finance his defense for his criminal charges.

Too bad, so sad.

Does anyone know if 386 Weed Street in New Canaan is still under construction?

If the construction crew at 386 Weed took the day off on Friday, May 24, could FD have parked EE's truck at 386 Weed and jog to JD's home at 69 Welles?

FD could cut through a small wooded area to reach Indian Waters, then continue to the end of Indian Waters and cut through another wooded area to arrive at the rear of JD's home at 69 Welles.

I just drove past 386 Weed - at this point construction appears pretty much complete. There are hefty gates up on the entrance. I am not sure how long they have been in place , and if they were there on May 24.

I’ve been at tases supervised visits. It’s possible that the supervisor didn’t realize FD went into the house or maybe he had to use the bathroom- or so he said. Sone of them can be lax.

Hartford Courant article dated 7/7/19 states that supervisor was paid $150/hour for the visit on the 22nd, and took copious notes that they had to hand over to the court.
This is likely where prosecution got the quote from FD that night about not wanting his DNA to be in the house that was brought up in the bail hearing. That certainly would have stood out to a monitor taking notes to turn in to the court.

In 'honor' of FDs love of spreadsheets I put one together on properties from various sources including the FORE group website (all the purchase and sales data is from the town assessor government sites). This is not perfect but hopefully useful to some of you. I also included two maps that 1) shows the correct layout of Jefferson Crossing (Google doesn't do it properly) and 2) shows how the Mt Spring Road and Olcott Way lots fit together (in the links below).

A couple of observations:

FD bought Jefferson Crossing in two transactions on 4/25/06 for $1.1 Million and $600K ($1.7MM) and sold them for $14.6 Milliion while still owning #4.

He bought the Mt. Spring Road properties in two transactions ($305K in '12 and $775K in '16=$1,080,000). He's sold 2 of them (1 just a piece of land) for a total of $1,828,719 with the big house #80 still to sell.

Olcott Way cost him $283K to purchase the property and he's sold two houses and a piece of land for a total of $3.5MM there.

He bought 598 Deerfield Road in '13 for $245K and sold it in '15 for $1,494,006. He bought 585 Deercliff in '09 for $695K and that's the one that is rundown and has a court case associated with a transaction that fell through.

Charlotte Court was purchased for $875K in '06, 4 houses were built and the total sales were $3,573,615.

Looks like he did very well on Bart Drive and Pheasant Hill Road in Canton prior to all of this.

We may be seeing another rat in the woodpile here with afitzy's favorite guy, no case Norm.
Thinking down the road how does no case plan to get paid for
what's surely going to be a long drawn out criminal case for FD?

Oh where to start.....so many issues in this post and the biggest rat in the mix our old buddy No Case Norm/NCN!

I am of two minds (or more) on NCN strategy in this very sad case. NCN's shotgun approach to the theory of the day with zero facts and extreme victim shaming will either go down as a law school case study on how not to defend a murderer or the total opposite IMO. The entire NCN/FD dialog with MT that played out for over 2 weeks was just bizarre. But now we can breathe a sign of relief as according to NCN the star crossed lovers are 'broken up'....I'll believe it when I see it and I don't believe this for a second!

My personal opinion so far for whats it worth is that the victim shaming and defamation of JD by FD/NCN has been shameful and professionally irresponsbility and actually irreparably damaged the public's view of his client FD. If FD didn't want to be thought of as a 'monster' by the public then why behave as one and why let his atty drag JD in such a humiliating way? We have seen zero humanity from FD or his legal team and I just keep going back to the arrest warrant where it was clear that FD (and MT) just lawyered up immediately and refused to help the investigation from the second he was contacted by NCPD. Who treats the mother of their 5 children in such a profoundly disrespectful way? IMO, FD answered this question himself by calling himself a 'monster'. So, no sympathy here for FD as his choices were made early in this case and IMO he will pay a huge price for these choices down the line as he eventually faces a jury. Poor FD just can't get out of his own way IMO and its been painful to watch him trying to continue to be the 'smartest guy in the room' when he is anything but......

As I believe NCN was trying to taint the jury pool in order to get a change of venue then I guess he has done well for his client and maybe the law school case might evntually show him as a victor but I'm not willing to take that bet yet as its totally early days for this case and we have yet to see the CT judiciary in action (oh happy days...)!

The NCN/FD victim bashing has been awful, inhumane and painful to listen to all the same and I truly feel for the family and friends of JD.

NCN knew what he was getting in for with defending FD IMO and it included doing the work pro bono as the money in the relationship belonged almost solely to JD (GF litigation will no doubt take a chunk of change away from FD too as she has slapped liens on at least 2 of the properties). If NCN didn't know this all going in then he deserved to get stiffed IMO. But no sympathy on on money for NCN and his firm, not one bit. NCN is a big boy and knew what he was signing up for with this case so no tears from me for NCN! Based on testimonies from NCN former clients its clear that the firm has its 'ways' of getting paid and they will figure it all out. Also, my guess is that it would be possible to resign the case if further charges are filed and flee like the rest of FD attys are attempting to do now!

On the houses being 'tainted' by association with FD, I'm not so sure that they can't be sold in the next couple of years. My guess is that so long as LE doesn't discover JD body or crime scene at one of the properties that at some price (most likely 1/2 of list at best) will sell. The houses in Farmington are truly white elephants IMO as they are just too large and expensive for the market (with associated high taxes - 4JX has $40,000 annual taxes!!) that they are in for most of the people that live in the area. But the broker that was interviewed a couple of weeks ago thought at some price the Farmington houses would sell. The NC house is overpriced too but could be sold at some price even in a soft market as the location isn't terrible IMO even though the landscaping and finishing is subpar by neighborhood standards.

I guess I got that assumption from the listing on MS said 1920’s ??? Tudor

That one he gutted and redid, I watched the sales video he did talking about it.

Yes and this GAL Michael Meehan has been paid $175,000 just
since Dec., 2018....that's an average of $29,166 per MONTH.
No wonder this dude was so sympathetic w/ FD while wife JD
was paying his bill. Keep the antagonism going MM, keep the
in-fighting going MM while you rake in the fees. Predators, that's
what they are. And the legal system allow it. and is part of it.

thanks, this is a great compilation.
Sorry but we can't give FD all the credit for making money in the
'remodeled' homes or the new customs because he had a staff
of people working in Fore that I'm sure were beating the bushes
finding these prospective deals for him. He had a real estate
agent on board that probably 'sniffed' out the good deals, homes
he could buy and raze or re-model and split off additional lots.

And remember he had a project manager on board for 12 yrs.
that I'm sure was the hands on construction brains.

So by hiring these worker bees, having HF's money, he sat back and played big boss and got all the credit. It doesn't work that way. There were many underlings that got him to where he is today. He just took all the credit.

This is absolutely brilliant...MANY THANKS....I also wonder if FD took back paper on any of the properties or cash to lower loan amounts for the buyers. MOO

I just drove past 386 Weed - at this point construction appears pretty much complete. There are hefty gates up on the entrance. I am not sure how long they have been in place , and if they were there on May 24.

Thanks to all who pulled out the Weed property. I kept thinking that FD had more than one property in the NC area. Certainly some construction crews might work a short week before a holiday. Has LE searched this property?

 

[Jmoose]

4 days before she disappeared...
There you go.
Motive.
$1.6 million would go a long way in Greece, or any other country for that matter. Even $400,000.00 is money. Did he, or the title company, pay Mrs. Farber back? Hopefully she had a lien on the property to protect her co-signature liability and ensure at least SOME payment was made to her at time of closing.

FC is probably foreclosure. And that's about right for value on a foreclosure. At least in Texas. IMHO.

PS:
What if he had a "friend" buy it at the foreclosure sale, a sham, and then deed it back to FD in some other name. Foreclosure generally wipes the mortgage off the title.
Maybe that is why he was stalling with producing his financial records?
And the plot thickens...

Clever!

I agree! In fact, all the posts this morning are brilliant!

Including yours, @afitzy! And bravo to @enelram, @Dmcp, @Websleuth 007 and to all the others: thanks for the drive-bys and all your hard work investigating!

What an awesome group this case at WS is and has been from the beginning!

 

[Jmoose]

I think the fact that he had a bad case of poison ivy tells us that he was out in the woods doing something he probably shouldn't have been/wasn't usual for him; but it does nothing to narrow down where that might have been within the entire state of CT, unfortunately.

I do think, at least around my house, that the poison ivy crop is pretty dense this year...no telling where he got it, but he doesn’t seem like “walk in the woods” type, so the fact that he had it, to me, says something.

 

[Mrs. M]

New Hartford Courant article today (I’m not Charles Manson”): insight and details from transcripts of recent hearings in the divorce case. It’s clear that FD was getting to a boiling point.

Good news is that LE is currently conducting a forensic audit of FDs finances. That is likely taking a long time but is going to really nail things.

And, FDs former attorney MR might be in hot water too.

Bad news is more details on the kids and how deeply they’ve been impacted by this. JD was so right to try to protect them but kids don’t always see things in that light. And now, what an absolute tragedy to be in their position.

‘I’m not Charles Manson:’ Court transcripts show escalating tension and anger in two-year Dulos divorce

This is a great piece, thanks for posting! Amazed at the way Fulos speaks to the court and blames Jennifer’s Attorney for the woes in his life. The kids won’t have Easter, that’s great. Um, the kids won’t celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter, big deal. Did the Farber family ever insist that the kids celebrate Jewish holidays? The kids weren’t even supposed to be around Side Piece, and he’s telling the court that she and 20 members of her family will be at Greek Easter?! What world is he living in?

Gotta love FD, he is the comic gift that just keeps on giving!

I'M NOT CHARLES MANSON! I'm picturing people wearing Charles Manson tees at the courthouse with FD face superimposed over the image with a big red line through the entire thing to indicate NOT! Love it!!! Might just draw one up and post it here as my new avatar!

The HC article did a good job of explaining the escalating tension in the divorce case and how the money train of paid experts works in family court. I am not sure the statement about the tides turning in FD favor in Family Court are completely accurate though as @gitana1 explained previously the terms of the visitation were still quite strict.

I hope also though that Dave Altimari isn't turning into another Pattis stooge in this case too as generally his reporting has been solid but I saw more than one reference in that piece to theories and ideas floated by Pattis and this is concerning to me as was his seeming sympathy for the plight of FD in divorce court (Dave there were 2 parties to this divorce and yes the other party is missing!). Will have to keep an eye on Dave Altimari!

Cannot believe that the motion to terminate Meehan hasn't happened yet?! Where else can you be paid $29,000/month to instigate drama and your bill has priority in bankruptcy court? Gotta love CT system of getting a divorce. But if its proven that Meehan gave the psych report to FD former atty then the guy needs to get the hook IMO! We will see if Judge Heller does anything or punts.

Seriously though even with the court ordered therapy what is stunning to read is example after example of complete abdication of personal responsibility for anything in FD life. He doesn't like a court ruling so what does he do (all the while complaining of fees etc.)? He just files motion after motion to punish JD and treat his children like pawns in some sick mindgame of his? Why did the financial disclosure issue from FD become such an issue that the court had to resort to seizing his computers? Really? No other remedies available to the court to resolve this situation and not much much sooner? The court transcript reads like a simple game of tit for tat being played by toddlers with no social skills or awareness IMO and the atty's and 'experts' such as Meehan constantly poking the bears in the cage.

Was anyone else surprised to read about MT large extended family coming for Easter at the manse at 4JX and learning that children sometimes go 'missing' at 4JX (oh no!)? So much for the theory that the MT family didn't support the relationship. I guess it takes all kinds and MT and her family are just another kind!

Simply cannot make this stuff up...its a circus...

And when the 'value' of the property that wasn't going to become a 'quick sale' was too high so property taxes were more than he wanted to pay, it wasn't past FD to sue the local assessors:

The plaintiffs, Fotis and Jennifer Dulos, are owners of real property at 4 Jefferson Crossing in the town of Farmington (town). The plaintiffs challenge the fair market valuation of $3, 654, 400 placed on their property by the town's assessor on the Grand List of October 1, 2012.

The plaintiffs' appraiser, Bruce Hunter (Hunter), valued the subject, as of October 1, 2012, at $1, 600, 000. The town's appraiser, Robert B. Ficks, Jr. (Ficks), valued the subject, as of October 1, 2012, at $2, 875, 000.

And just to point out this year, that Easter and Passover overlapped dates. So this might have pissed off FD all the more, if the kids were spending time with JD and having Seder instead of at his big Easter party, showing off to all the MT relatives.
(Note that JDs lawyer pointed out FDs request for Easter wasn’t about the kids family wellbeing, but about his “problems” back at JC that weekend.) Can you imagine how bizarre and traumatic for the kids to have to spend their very limited, contested and yearned for (according to article) time with their father at a giant party with 15 of his girlfriend’s relatives??
