Silver Alert CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #21

Are you really? That is so...wonderful. I kept thinking maybe one of the houses might end up being a sanctuary for those affected by domestic violence but there’s probably a zoning issue not to mention a million other practical issues. MOO.

Ohhh. I love it. Sanctuary house.

I respect your opinion on this situation but sadly reading through the arrest warrant commentary on the substance (or lack thereof) of the MT responses I am not at all confident that a change in her pattern of behavior will occur anytime soon.

Even as of 8/13 her statements were unclear and required much prompting and probing from LE to get anything from her. The statement she made about JD body being in the Red Truck seemed about as clear as mud IMO. Perhaps MT needs some kind of psychological exam to see if she is up to the entire process in which she finds herself as frankly she demonstrated an inability per the AW of completing a statement in a cohesive manner IMO.

The State's Atty and State Police and others I am sure worked diligently to prove out her statements only to find out she didn't tell the truth or only told half truths. Why bother if a person isn't willing to cooperate fully and be respectful of the process. Reading through the AW it appeared the most MT was able to do was look at a picture and confirm that it was FD or herself. Mmmm. Didn't sound too encouraging to me.

I would love to see a cooperative MT as an asset to the Prosecution Team and LE but despite what I am sure were the best efforts of Atty Bowman it doesn't appear that this has happened to any degree to warrant a reduction in charges via a State deal. I am also unsure that she would be able to withstand direct questioning from any atty's on the stand if she responded in any way similar to what we read in the AW.

Hugely disappointed to see nothing from MT of much value and while I totally agree that working with people in her position is a 'rough and rocky road', there was zero in the AW that left me at all optimistic that Bowman has had any impact on his client. In fact the Bowman demeanor leaving the 2nd arrest booking in BPT today looked uncharacteristically grim for him IMO. I am not at all encouraged that MT has the capacity or willingness to assist the State's efforts. Hugely sad that this is not the case and I sincerely hope I am WRONG!

MOO

Beautifully said! I’m apologizing now to you and many others for having said similar—but not nearly as astute—things related to posts before I read your replies.

 

[Midwestmom2019]

Nope. Yellow school buses as there are no Town buses except a get about system of vans for seniors and disabled.

NC as a town has resisted efforts to install surveillance cameras for years including at Waveny and Irwin Parks IMO. Witness how recent efforts to put 3 cameras in Waveny Park have seemed to stalled while at least 10 other capital projects in Town have been funded and are moving forward.

If the cameras on the school buses do help solve the murder of JD it IMO is only because the Town of New Canaan was lucky to have the cameras on the buses and operational and the time of the crime was at a time when the buses were on the road.

Absent the school buses and their cameras, the Town of New Canaan IMO has very little to nothing in the way of defensive security cameras to assist in any criminal investigation and why the Town is not holding the First Selectman and Chief of Police accountable for this deficiency it appears will have to wait until another day.

IMO the handling of the entire issue to put cameras in Waveny has shown the weakness in leadership present in Town Hall as the process was punted back to Parks and Rec and not placed in the hands of NCPD where IMO it firmly belongs IMO.

Why did the First Selectman not stand up to the Police Board and demand that Police take ownership of the process when its a clear safety issue? What do Parks and Rec know about security cameras and surveillance in order to do a RFP? Did the Police Chief ever come back and comment on the RFP put together by the Parks and Rec Dept?

IMO the performance of the Chief on the issue of insuring townwide security via cameras is hugely disappointing and to stand behind historical town crime stats is simply IMO denying the reality of overall crime trends in the region.

MOO

He’s too busy trying to earn his MBA. He wasn’t available when JD first went missing. Remember? Totally incognito.

 

[HopeForTheBest]

Ohhh. I love it. Sanctuary house.

I love YOUR idea on the 501(c)(3).

 

[Midwestmom2019]

I'm thinking that's probably right, that he put the altered tags on the Tacoma, on the pics in the warrant you can clearly see where the front license plate is:

But on the close up pic at the car wash, it looks like it was blanked out:

Are they saving this bit of proof for the 3rd and final warrant, with the murder charge?

And why are they so slowly tightening the noose? This warrant reads like a murder charge is leveled but it's simply for tampering with evidence...why the gamesmanship? They seem to have all the evidence they need, I wish I understood the strategy behind all of this.

The wheels of justice turn slowly. Patience is a virtue. We all need patience. It’s almost dawn.

Ha Ha @MassGuy!

Looks like our 'favorite' reporter is now in the speculation business with an 'inside scoop' as to how bail is set in the Nutmeg State! Wonder if he heard this nugget of gold from Pattis or perhaps directly from the Judge himself?

For my money, if MT were a pony I wouldn't put a penny of my money on her being able to finish the race as she is no thoroughbred! If MT were a horse, I'd base my decision for her not finishing the race due to her: poor breeding/blood stock, weak training, no work ethic and unbalanced/erratic behavior! IMO she has been shady from jump in this case and I'm not sure how LE can trust her now after 2+ months of lying, absent her trotting out the body of JD! I never say never but in the case of MT I'm really really close!

The AW comments from MT seemed incoherent, inconsistent and IMO improbable except when she was being asked to identify herself or FD in a photo or peppered hard by LE, it was painful to read IMO. The EE Red Truck event wasn't really that challenging of a task for MT IMO and she seemed to struggle on every level to answer basic questions IMO. The convoluted 'explanation' for the entire taking EEs keys situation was worthy IMO of someone whose judgment and language skills are severely impaired. "I took the keys...." . Really? Colangelo would put any part of his case in the hands of such a person as a witness? Frankly I think he would have better luck tracking down "Fudge" and putting him on the stand!

Its too bad that you can't have designated runner or batters in the courtroom as IMO MT would need one!

I'd love to believe that MT is cooperating and assisting the State but I believe the ship has sailed on that option.

My speculation on the bond amt. is that for the events described in the AW it was clear she was involved but appeared to be more of an 'order taker' or 'trash bag carrier'. She did, however, actively participate in the 'alibi memo' and that was damning IMO but it was clear that the main player was FD.

Purely MOO.

Agree! Honestly, I wondered if she was on medication or an illegal drug or if she’d had a stroke or what. Seriously. MOO.

 

[Midwestmom2019]

Ha ha!! Casey Anthony case.

She got off and is now living with her lawyer?
Starting a photography business? Puhleez. Her father retired detective worked in homicide.
Makes me want to vomit. Poor little one. Just give her up for adoption. A million people would beg to get her.

 

[HopeForTheBest]

No resolution by Judge yet on the gag order.

Both atty's have put forward their arguments on the issue of the gag order and the Judge will either rule or have a hearing.

Colangelo IMO did a good job pointing to the Judge where Pattis has been coloring outside the lines with his public commentary and run afoul of the rules: JD heroin addict, JD revenge suicide, MT lie detector test passed along with some others.

Lots more there from Colangelo and worth a read if you have the time IMO as he patiently explains the weakness of the Pattis arguments.

MOO

I’m going to make the time. I can sleep and work later. I love reading the words of a skilled lawyer and other smart people such as on this forum. Thank you so much for posting this!

 

[HopeForTheBest]

MT seems really stubborn and defiant repeatedly lying to LE. I think no matter what her and FD will take their chances at trial. IMO ... they just seem that arrogant. But, I certainly hope she flips, the body is found and FD put away for life ...

I seriously am wondering about her cognitive abilities right now; I do wonder what she might be taking. Surely she hasn’t always been so inarticulate given her previous jobs. MOO.

 

[HopeForTheBest]

Great minds think alike. I have been thinking about the "break the bank" strategy since yesterday. Also, maybe a way to find where the funds are coming from?

I didn’t realize a person could be arrested and bonded out so many times. MOO.

 

[HopeForTheBest]

BBM
Sickens me to read this.
MT stretching in bed getting ready to get her daughter off to school.
Her lover has left her bed ( Jennifer's bed). On the way to murder his wife of 12 years.
His wife of 12 years is scurrying to get THEIR five children off to school. Five children!
She kisses them good bye for the last time.
Then Daddy comes a callin'.
MOO.

I am sick with you. I’ll never understand either of them. MOO.

 

[Midwestmom2019]

Agree! Honestly, I wondered if she was on medication or an illegal drug or if she’d had a stroke or what. Seriously. MOO.

Sedated. She can’t handle the pressure. It’s over and she knows it.

Her mother must be totally unraveled by now. Knowing her daughter is a total twit.

 

[HopeForTheBest]

I think MT will eventually be cleared of all charges. I am in the boat, ESPECIALLY after reading the new warrants, that she is undoubtedly a victim of Fotis Dulos and his emotional manipulation. He manipulated her into lying for him, helping him cover up what he did. Seeing the persistence in the story from his employee re: the car seats made that clear to me, because that is how abusive people are. I am sure she spent the days after JD’s disappearance in an absolute tizzy trying to figure out how to remove herself from the immediacy of the crime while also trying to stay alive, as she knew she could be next.

I’m not in the same boat or even in the same ocean as you are on this with MT, but I definitely can see this happening with many people. Just not her. MOO.

 

[HopeForTheBest]

Sedated. She can’t handle the pressure. It’s over and she knows it.

Her mother must be totally unraveled by now. Knowing her daughter is a total twit.

I wondered that about sedation! If it were my daughter, I would long ago have ruined my vocal cords trying to talk/yell/shout some sense into her. And my heart breaks for MT’s daughter—and of course JD’s kids. Just so tragic. MOO.

 

[HopeForTheBest]

That’s it. I’m going to throw up. MOO.

Actually, yes, let’s hope she DOES tell the truth at trial. It won’t be what NP wants to hear, though. MOO.

Justice for Jennifer! We will not rest until she is found and justice is served

 

[Midwestmom2019]

Dinan article summarizing the FD arrest warrant - for those that don't have time to go through the entire warrant IMO this is an excellent summary and provides a number of relevant and interesting questions as well:

‘Lying in Wait’: State Police Affidavit Points to Premeditation in Jennifer Dulos Case

They made written notes of what they did? For what reason? Make sure their stories matched?
Or make sure LE could hang both of them with self authored admissions.
Are they stupid? Or what?
Or druggies.
Whatever the reason, good thing they made notes.
Patience. It’s coming together. Where’s Fudge when we need him?
Maybe he pawned the knife. Hope LE ran through all pawn shops.

 

[Morgan10028]

Yes, my guess is that LE used the bus cams to look at Lapham Rd parked vehicles and then they backtracked and checked them all out. Just a guess. MOO

Importantly, Jennifer was already reported missing BEFORE the seats were changed!

I love the New Canaan Police Department for posting this Tweet!

They know everything that's coming and so does FD. We'll be the last but I can live with that!

Hope, give us a good summary when you can. I'll look forward to it.
