Hmmmm. No money offered for any information on what happened to JD? No volunteer search for JD? This seems odd? I have participated in a search for a body before in case of Sarah Stern, Neptune City, NJ. Family organized, and welcomed the publics assistance. Could the LE have what they want already? Do the LE know there isn't a body to be found? Or am I in an alternate universe?

I am a few pages behind, but if school was let out at 12:30, there is a good chance that the kids had lunch before leaving school. That is how it works in my district, but we are a public school in the midwest; not private. Anyway, 12:30 seems late enough to me to ensure that they already had eaten. MOO
Disregard if this has already been brought up.

I said the same. I do not think that the nanny went to the home and I think we have heard every scenario for this <modsnip>

 

[Leoleo2424]

ITA housekeeper had a key but I do wonder if the car was packed and ready by Nanny and no need to stop at home ? Did she come from her home or their home ? So far we only have a noon visit by housekeeper IIRC

It would be standard procedure for the housekeeper to come in w a key or code when noone was home and clean. A house of that size would take at least 3 hours. And yet I believe she told the police nothing seemed out of place.
Did she clean evidence away?
Was her dna also on the kitchen sink faucet ?
Or did she not clean that day?
Drops of blood were found in the garage where I would assume she didn’t go into to clean.

She was getting ready for a hearing the following week where they were going to hear arguments on his lack of financial disclosure - I’m having trouble reconciling she invited him over to her home - one week prior to such a momentous milestone in the divorce litigation - and was it supervised ? but that’s all JMO

It is amazing what you’re willing to do for your children. If one of them asked if daddy could come, she may have put their needs/desires before her own. I’ve been there and done that. I just with FD had the same love for his children. :/

 

[JillR]

In the case of Elizabeth Shelley a few weeks ago and Abby and Libby 2 years ago, the area in which they were found was previously searched. Little Elizabeth was just a block from her home...... In a lot of cases a body is not taken too far..... If FD took JD in a vehicle, IMO there would be a a lot of evidence, blood, hair, etc... LE must have all of his vehicles because the news report said he went for a jog, grocery, and he rented a car....

 

[Jodiwankenobi8]

I agree with you. Perhaps it was a school related celebration and the children asked that their father attend? Speculation though. But from the court testimony it was clear that others were present at the event so there were witnesses.

Was this the event where FD allegedly made the comment about not going into the house due to his DNA? That comment if made, seems particularly paranoid IMO. But maybe the comment reflected how much the situation in the divorce case had gone down hill and the level of resentment held by FD to the situation. Comment could have been made in jest but was really seriously meant by FD. MOO

Or he knew she was going to be murdered?

 

[Eli9]

Ok some of these details I had never heard before at all (or at least not in this specific detail). I recognize that this was a very contentious divorce and custody battle and there was absolutely a lot of anger, hurt, resentment etc...happening. With that in mind (given what most of us believe happened to JD and who caused it to happen) the description of this specific June 3, 2017 incident as described by Jennifer scares me.

”Jennifer Dulos described an incident on June 3, 2017, in which Fotis Dulos allegedly became enraged over her scheduled activities for their children on a Saturday morning because he felt that they should be waterskiing instead. Jennifer Dulos claimed that her husband would force the children to train as professional waterskiiers, even though they did not want to, but they were "all afraid to disobey," she stated.

"He got within inches of my face and berated me" the court documents state. "I was scared and tried to leave the room. He followed me upstairs and into a bedroom, where he shut the door and blocked it so that I was trapped as he verbally attacked me and physically intimidated me."

The couple's daughter and babysitter were allegedly in the room at the time and witnessed Fotis Dulos blocking the door, according to the court documents.

"Having no way to escape the room other than a second story window, I screamed until my Husband became nervous that his cousins, who were visiting the home, would hear me," the emergency order states.”

Estranged husband of missing Connecticut mother arrested in her disappearance

There are a lot more details that I was unaware of in the article but this stands out for the obvious reasons.

Wow! Just read the article you posted. There are a lot of statements in there that have not been reported in MSM before IMO. Like how when JD left FD and took the kids. I was always under the impression that she already had the NC house rented but this article states that, according to FD, she went to a NYC hotel and had hired...wait for it...armed guards.
Plus the article talks about an email FD sent JD in December of 2017. Very interesting, thank you for posting it.

 

[Alkali13]

It is rather unusual. What evidence do the LE have?

This.

We were talking about establishing a reward fund yesterday for information. Clearly, the family, while the have the money to do so, doesn't think it's necessary. It leads me to believe police have way more evidence than we know of and are concentrating on finding the body. Clearly not much information is available about this, and the almost 500 tips they've received aren't helping in that matter.

 

[Alwaystyping]

I agree. I know too from having lived in Washington, DC and Northern VA how dreadful traffic is Memorial Day weekend around a large city. If it were me, the second I picked my kids up from school I would have wanted to be on the road. I can't help but wonder if JD had packed everyone up the night before and was to take everyone's things for the weekend in her own car with the nanny only picking up the children from school and immediately getting on the road. That is what I would have done for my own children when they were younger (no way would I wait around for them to pack on a holiday weekend Friday). I would also show up at school carline pick up with lunch already picked up from someplace so we didn't need to stop to eat. JMO, IMO, etc.

I didn’t think of this. Usually there would be a reward posted or a massive volunteer search. In this case, it seems to me that LE probably is doing its best to keep things under wraps and once they find the body they’ll drop everything to the media. But what if this is like the Susan Powell case where they can never find a body? Do they just give up and release any info they haven’t yet?

 

[MLaps]

I can tell you that traffic in that area is insane on MDW because people are traveling to the Cape or to the vacation areas of CT. I used to go up there when I was younger and we’d be in constant traffic.

 

[Alwaystyping]

If the kids’ clothes etc were in JDs car and not the nanny’s - that could account for some of those trash bags.

I think there are a few things at play here

Mainly LE knows there likely are very few individuals that have pertinent information and they have identified and communicated with those individuals already. Hence a reward is not going to be helpful in this case.

Secondly I believe they are investigating this as a recovery effort and not a rescue. It’s not uncommon for LE not to want to involve the general public when there is no pressing time as in being able to save a human life. Generally for evidentiary reasons LE likes to keep the public away unless they are deemed helpful, I don’t believe they think it would be helpful here

ITA. She could have stopped back at the house after dropping them off at school and was picking up and loading their suitcases in her car so the nanny could just manage the kids themselves for the trip to NYC. If they were sitting together on the garage floor waiting to be loaded, when he attacked her, they certainly could have been covered in blood spatter and have been part of the 30 bag cleanup.

 

[Curious in CT]

Not sure if you’d call the enquirer news worthy, but just saw this.

FBI Source Provides Details in Gut-Wrenching Homicide Case of Mother Jennifer Dulos

What a crap example of reporting (and writing). IMO (as a writer and former journalist) cobbled together from other articles and documents. Not possible that these LE "sources" all speak in the same long-winded, tortured syntax.
Sorry, but it ticks me off that everyone is trying to get a piece of this pie without putting in all the hard work and hours we're seeing from the Courant, CT Post, WFSB, etc.

 

[Inthedetails]

This might have been discussed already and I missed it - with JD's phone call to her friend around 9-9:30am and with her appointment in NYC at 11am, I think she was attacked as she was leaving the house, not as she came home from the school drop off.

It's possible she dropped the kids off, came back home, parked in the garage and left the garage door open (as we've heard she did), went into the house until it was time to leave for the appointment. Then, when she returned to the garage to depart, she was attacked.

Maybe FD regularly follows her and on that Friday, he saw his opportunity to attack her. Or, they had a confrontation and it turned violent. If that is the case, perhaps this wasn't planned in advance but spontaneous ??

IDK!

jmopinion, thinking aloud.

 

[Inthedetails]

There is just no way to say that it was a different Ford 150 Raptor and doppelgängers going around dumping crime scene evidence and doctored license plates. Because their actual phones were also on that same journey.

It’s not an elaborate hoax perpetuated by someone trying to frame FD/MT.

Also I wonder about the clothes that MT and FD were seeing wearing on CCTV on the trashbin dump odyssey of stupidity. Were they collected by LE? Especially FD’s since it appears from the descriptions of the video that he was the one seen handling the bags with Jennifer’s blood in them.

I’m sure he already disposed of the clothes he was wearing when he went to JDs house earlier. MOO

If LE did collect FD's clothes among the bags, I wonder if they could find evidence of poison ivy on them? I love when plants play a role in forensics, so I'm hoping they do in this case. It wouldn't be a smoking gun to find poison ivy on the clothes since poison ivy is everywhere, but it could be added to the pile of evidence linking FD to the crime.

It will all come out in the warrant when they press murder charges. I think they have enough to do so already, but obviously, the strongest evidence is the body. If they can recover that, they will immediately press. Otherwise, it's a matter of securing as much evidence as possible.

 

[Jodiwankenobi8]

Pattis made a big point about 30 stops not being 30 bags. I'm not sure what to believe but I'm glad that LE at least has 5 bags. We don't know what has been found at the processing plant either but LE has been working around the clock there so hopefully they have something to show for all the effort.

I think 1 drop of items with his wife’s blood is sufficient!

Seriously, the Courant has been PHENOMENAL in this case, as has Dave Altimari.
