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

[Rosiebones]

IDK, just thinking of something "quick and easy" to do. Contractors go to the NC Transfer Station all day long. FD owning property in NC would have a NC transfer station ticket. Could he have simply done his evil work with a knife in the Welles garage and placed everything in contractor bags and driven then to the NC transfer station?

Welles to Transfer station is 9 min there and then the drive to Waveny would have been 15 min total trip time..assuming there was traffic on Lapham he has to wait there for awhile to move the rest of his bags...fits with the timeline IMO. IMO this is way risky but it wouldn't be suspicious as contrators and trucks pull up all the time the the transfer station. Perhaps also this is where the doctored plates were used? Usually the attendant just checks the sticker and doesnt' match the plate against the sticker.

Food for thought perhaps? IDK.

Here is the map for consideration:

Google Maps

I have entertained this chain of events also but have two concerns.
1. The plates were so crudely doctored that I wonder if he would have risked them being notice close up by a dump attendant. Being caught by a camera on a highway might not have been as great a risk.
2. If he left Welles immediately after the bloody murder and clean up, how could he have risked being seen up close with blood all over himself and his clothes? He would have had to get out of the car to discard the bag/s.

He may have done this and lucked out but it is quite a risk to take. What are the open hours of the transfer station

 

[thekirbyfamily]

I have had a particular thought since we first learned about EE.

EE spoke informally with LE before FO/MT arrest and then formally on June 2. Then spoke informally again on June 6 at the time of the EE red truck search warrant.

IMO, All Without legal representation, since EE had Nothing to Hide.

We know by June 14, that EE not only had an Attorney, but had a Quality Attorney.

I am thinking that after LE found that EE's red truck was used in the commission of a crime among other evidence found by LE, that perhaps LE explained Everything to EE and Highly Suggested that he obtain Legal Representation Immediately.

Perhaps, LE even assisted in helping EE find Quality Legal Representation and perhaps it is pro bono.

Not because he was in any way culpable, but because LE could see the writing on the wall and that EE was possibly being Set Up or at the very least was going to be alluded to as being a possible suspect by NP/FO.

Guess What?

That is EXACTLY what happened when NP said that EE was a 'Handy Man With Something to Hide' after FO was arrested the second time.

Being represented by an attorney can in no way be construed as being culpable in a crime.

LE most likely expected that EE would be thrown under the bus by NP/FO, and he was.

EE Absolutely Needs to be Protected by Legal Representation against False Allegations made by NP/FO.

Well Played LE and EE.

All IMO.

Awesome comment!

Thanks for posting. Not familiar with Gray Hughes, who is he?

@spaz1959, he is a person that has quite a following and he just follows various cases all over the world. I have no idea of his background or why he is qualified to do what he does but I've watched him a couple times on other cases as he does a good job usually with using google earth and putting alot of media material together in a single episode and it can save a TON of time if you are behind. As I am always behind and looking for ways to reduce reading time IMO he can be helpful. I myself don't pay too much attention to his conclusions, I just watch sometimes to get the overview so I can figure out where I need to focus on something or refocus. I am so behind in all my reading and online watching that I don't even know if he has covered the latest warrants yet. Early on I believe he said the Dulos case was a slam dunk murder case and I don't get the sense he is very interested in the case at all. When I get a chance I will see if there is another more recent episode. I do know GH is allowed here on WS but beyond that I know zero about him. If anyone knows his history and can explain it I'd appreciate it as I have no clue on who he is. MOO

OK - I think you're right. (That map is great, BTW.) Here's something basic on it: 'Jennifer Dulos' Suburban is seen on video returning to the house at 8:05 a.m. At 10:25 a.m., the same vehicle drives away from the house.'

Here's the thing (per my earlier post of how he got into the garage): He didn't likely have a key; she probably used a remote to get into the garage and he got in right then. SO he probably was there right at 8:05 am. That means he had an hour and 20 minutes there.

Likely he did more than just kill and clean up. I wish there were a way to know if any other [red] vehicles stopped close to the house within those 2+ hours - is there any proof that there WEREN'T?

 

[bubby girl]

@sds71 thanks for posting this new ruling.

@Myvice, I cannot see a hard copy of the order but I can ask Marissa Alter the reporter if she can get and post a copy.

But here is what the website says:

485.00 05/02/2019 D APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY EX PARTE ORDER OF CUSTODY
RESULT: Denied 5/2/2019 HON DONNA HELLER
485.01 09/05/2019 C ORDER

RESULT: Order 9/5/2019 HON DONNA HELLER

My recollection is that FD filed for custody of the children shortly after JD went missing. JD went missing on 4/24 and he filed on 5/2. We all talked about this at the time but it seems Judge Heller is just cleaning up old motions and clearing the decks after the recent decision about awarding temporary custody to GF. We know FD/Pattisville have said they will appeal the temporary custody award to GF. Whether they have done this we don't know. @gitana1, I believe said that this appeal could be done by writ. But I also think it could go up the chain of the court system in CT. We don't know whether this has been done. Does @sds71 have any info on this I guess from the appellate court? IDK.

As I said above, I'm not 100% I'm correct here so will see if we can get the hard copies of the order from Judge Heller.

Judge Heller has also the motions on dismissing the GAL and the ongoing drama of the psych reports and the request for info on the children to deal with. Sadly her court response time has been slow so we will just have to wait to see how things shake out. I also wonder if any protective orders will be requested by GF against any of the pesky Greek Family members that seem intent on accessing the 5 children? I don't know if these orders would be requested via Family Court but my guess based on what Judge Blawie said in Criminal Court is that Judge Heller will have to deal with all the access issues to keep the children safe etc.

Hope that helps and I will PM the reporter and see if she can get us the documents on 484.01!

MOO

did you do typo on the 4/24 and 5/2 dates in your first paragraph?

Welcome to New Canaan, CT

S 7:30am-2:15pm

I also wonder if he could have returned to do this on Saturday when he was in NC being interviewed by Police? Wouldn't that be a twist in this trail of data?

 

[Alathea]

Cannot disagree with you at all. But why did she lie? All lies have some reason behind them. Did she do it for herself or did she do it for FO or for some reason we don't yet understand?

I've just been fixated on the idea of trying to understand why MT has been behaving as she has!

We know she is a well established and practiced liar. I'm just trying to figure out why?

Most people don't lie to lie (some do but the research says not so many pathological liars out there).

I've come full circle on the MT issue as I can only conclude that she was an integral member of the FO + HO team and the reason she most likely lied to Atty Bowman and LE was because she couldn't figure out a way to 'come clean' without admitting to murder. I think its the premeditated aspect of the murder that now seems to be clearer and MT role in the overall murder that was simply overwhelming for MT to deal with. Don't get me wrong. I don't think she feels remorse and I don't think she feels anything at all. I think she is emotionally wired just like FD and they were two peas in a pod that planned and executed a murder plot plain and simple.

The 2+ month lying period was just MT getting to the point where she might just possibly admit her role and was working to get the best deal possible from the State IMO. Its quite stunning to be an outsider in all this because what it looks like is that MT at the core is a coward that not only couldn't fess up publicly but couldn't fess up internally to herself as to being a murderer. I wonder if MT has taken responsibility for much in her life ever and does she care about anyone other than herself? I seriously doubt it and I hope that she is punished severely!

If she just started talking on 8/13 then this process is ongoing and new and most likely no deal exists. IMO MT is going to prison, the issue is just for how long and for which charges.

MOO MOO

It seems to me that the only reason to KEEP up the lies - at this point, with all the evidence out - is because she was so deeply involved. If she were not, she'd have given him up by now.

She was granted a protective order from him, no? She already agreed that he likely had the body in the truck - she didn't have to say that even though LE did prod her along. I think we'll find she was part of the NC timeframe in, at least, moving the body. They did everything together - including, IMO, planning.

MOO.

The attendants have multiple jobs and so the 'review' process for the stickers is at best spotty. They do pay closer attention to contractors as there are so many attempts at illegal dumping and people try to sneak in and use the Transfer Station using someone elses sticker. But many times the attendants are off doing other things and not checking stickers.

MOO

 

[Alathea]

Here is what I think IMO is going on with MT and her lies. Basically I agree with @afitzy that the reason for the lies is that she’s trying to avoid incriminating herself for murder, and she’s playing cat and mouse here as LE pulls out more evidence on her, she’s giving just the minimum she has to.

MT first interview was on 6/2 in NC jail the day after she and FD were arrested. MT was no doubt in terrible shape since LE arrived at Residence Inn around 11:30pm on the 1st and then MT was driven down to NC and booked in, and then I’m sure nice and comfy in her bed in the jail. I’m sure she was in great form the next day.
Nonetheless it appears that in the interview with Bowman present on 6/2 she just repeated the alibi script. LE didn’t have the alibi script yet (according to AW they picked that up on 6/3) but they had enough evidence to see through her alibis and story that it was inconsistent. (I guess MT should have kept the script in her pocket at all times to refer to, in her state that day she probably flubbed some of the details. Even if she got it spot on it was obviously a crappy alibi plan anyway).
I’m sure Bowman had been privy to some of the alibi details based on her meeting with him earlier in the week, but I imagine he was not impressed by the terrible performance with LE poking holes in her story that day at the jail.

On 6/3 according to the AW, LE finds the alibi script at 4JC. This triggers them to get MT back in for more questioning. In the meantime MT has bailed out and no doubt Bowman is trying to get MT to clean up her act, and to tell the truth to LE, or at least to him! Bowman is also likely educating MT on the severity of the consequences she’s facing.

So MT and Bowman do the 2nd interview with LE on 6/6, this is the one that was highly publicized in MSM. According to AW, at this second interview MT comes clean that she can’t alibi FD between 8am and 1pm. Apparently though (Deducing from times in AW) she still sticks to the shower scene in this interview, happening between 6:40am and 8am (presumably when she left to take her daughter to school. School starts at 8:15 and it’s 20 minute drive.) she’s also shown the alibi notes in this interview and admits to writing them out.
Does Bowman believe at this time that MT is lying? Clearly MT has ponied up a lot more at this point, and Bowman had likely made the stakes clear to her. But her performance in this interview also sounds quite miserable from the AW, given that she tells LE the alibi script was just to help them “remember” what they had done. Later LE can poke holes in the alibi script.

In the meantime, Bowman advises MT to stay away from FD (possible that family members of FD and MT were ferrying info and plans to patch up the alibi and stay consistent) and petitions to send her out of state to NY. As we saw this didn’t work out and she was back in CT out and about socializing.

By the 3rd interview on 8/13, LE has figured out the red truck involvement and also likely has the whole afternoon timeline based on MT phone records, AW states that FD called MT to bring the red truck keys back to EE that afternoon, etc. And LE have her movements on video and phone records of the car wash and bank withdrawal.
At this point, Bowman likely instructs MT it’s her last chance and she has to admit she was lying before. She does that and comes clean (sorry for the terrible irresistible pun) about not actually lathering up with FD that morning (I know, ew!!) and about the urgent need to haul out garbage bags and rags to clean a coffee spill off EEs filthy beater truck seat before anyone can get the holiday weekend started (sorry EE, but you yourself said you rarely clean your 18 year old truck).
But MTs still hedging around in this 3rd interview and being “coy” as someone generously put it previously, about why they went to clean the truck and whether she followed FD there or he just phoned her up out of the blue to come get him- this is where she’s still lying to cover up her own role in it. She knew full well why the truck was being cleaned and was full well involved in taking it to the car wash and paying for it, and it wasn’t to get that coffee spill out. (A $250 coffee spill, huh?).

Given this consistent lying through all these interviews, to LE and almost certainly to Bowman as well, IMO MT knew about the plan to get rid of JD and knew what had happened that day. Her continued reticence to be truthful and up front regarding the evidence LE does have and show her indicates she still has something to hide. IMO Bowman has a tough job and MT is making it even tougher. MOO.

MOO on everything here.

COMPLETELY agree with this assessment. If she were not so heavily involved with "something to hide" she'd have given him up by now - particularly since she has her daughter - that's got to be #1 on her list, creepy as she is.
moo

 

[Jmoose]

Totally with you on the gloves question! But my suspicion is that FD had gloves but MT didn't ! Wouldn't that be a kicker? Why would FD hand her anything other than to get her DNA on it? MOO

I thought of this, too-but then thought it put the murder much too close to FD. He may have wanted to lead LE away from him. But then, trying to frame EE/PG puts it rather close to him, too.

MOO on everything here.

while we assume that bowman is educating his client MT to tell the truth and the severity of the consequences she's facing..we got the other hand- NP/FD..looks like NP is educating his client on how to get away with murder with all his spinning and crazy theories..not that NP has to do that much educating, because FD has been the master deceiver..

MOO MOO

While I agree with what you're saying BUT
how do you explain that her bail amount in the
second Arrest is 1/5th of his?
why were LE so lenient? Do they know that she was a reluctant participant? Are they trying to be semi-sympathetic to her at this point? Did Bowman or his reputation talk them down? Or is she simply not considered a
high flight risk? Scratchin' my head.

 

[afitzy]

FD, ultra-controlling as he is, would want to travel with her to make sure she "got the story straight" and practice that story, IMO - whether he went in with her or not. Perhaps, if he did go in with her, Att Bowman said he couldn't represent both of them.

An "early" news video of MT showed her walking out of the Westport police station doorway - after she'd given a video recording for hours - one that probably left us all hopeful she was telling the truth. Here it is:

Exclusive: State's Attorney, Investigators Meet With Woman Charged In Missing Conn. Mom Case

What was interesting to me was how Atty Bowman was talking to her as she walked out the door - and she seemed to basically ignore him, flipping her hair (at least, that's my take on it, perhaps over-reading-into-it?).

EDIT: added link to the video

The picture in the video is in Westport, CT but it looks to be Atty Bowmans office and not Westport Police Station.














Aiello was at the office of Andrew Bowman, the attorney for Michelle Troconis, who is charged with helping her boyfriend Fotis Dulos dispose of bloody evidence from the home of the missing woman.

 

[enelram]

There was a discussion early on here about LE's search and discovery of evidence in drains. Some posters believed references in articles about drains related to the search of the drains on Albany Avenue (the altered car tags). Others thought LE was talking about shower drains or other drains at the residences owned by Fore. It was admittedly difficult to sort that question out, because the articles were somewhat vague IMO. It was my impression that blood evidence was discovered in a drain somewhere, but if so, I don't recall it being mentioned in the AW. If there is such evidence, we will be hearing about it at trial. Who knows what else is going out once the search warrants are unsealed.

My recollection on the drain discussion was it was a LE person and he stated they must be
looking at the drain at 80 MS or seem to be
focusing on it or something similar. AT the
same time he may have meant Sturbridge also.
In my mind I pictured FD storing the body overnight in a shower compartment where
body fluids/blood drained into the drain.
He didn't say that directly but that's what I surmised he meant.

 

[afitzy]

did you do typo on the 4/24 and 5/2 dates in your first paragraph?

Sorry, I made a mistake and thought I understood it but when I went back to read my post again I realized I was confusing 2 motions. Thanks for catching my error, we have to get the latest order and see what it is dealing with. I do wonder if there were 2 Defense motions for custody and that is what is tripping me up in understanding this. IDK.

 

[Jmoose]

I'm not sure if you meant it this way or not but your post seems very critical of working class people. Yes, I'd say more than 75% of the state can't relate. I have had to do everything you list at one point or another to provide for, take care of, and keep my family together. This isn't an easy place to live. I've actually looked up PG's house and it is much nicer than mine. The fact it's in Simsbury also says he is doing much better than I am.

I don’t think Enelram was being critical of working class people; MOO

 

[enelram]

IDK, just thinking of something "quick and easy" to do. Contractors go to the NC Transfer Station all day long. FD owning property in NC would have a NC transfer station ticket. Could he have simply done his evil work with a knife in the Welles garage and placed everything in contractor bags and driven then to the NC transfer station?

Welles to Transfer station is 9 min there and then the drive to Waveny would have been 15 min total trip time..assuming there was traffic on Lapham he has to wait there for awhile to move the rest of his bags...fits with the timeline IMO. IMO this is way risky but it wouldn't be suspicious as contrators and trucks pull up all the time the the transfer station. Perhaps also this is where the doctored plates were used? Usually the attendant just checks the sticker and doesnt' match the plate against the sticker.

Food for thought perhaps? IDK.

Here is the map for consideration:

Google Maps

not likely, IMO. Unless LE has really screwed up big time.
Also why wouldn't he also dump the bloody
cleanup supplies, mop, sponges, etc at NC?
LE is not telling us why they believe he brought everything back to Farmington. But they are
convinced he did.
Maybe they found convincing evidence the body was stored temporarily at MS. And then
he moved it to a permanent place.
There's some missing links on the body I admit.
And did they find any body evidence at MIRA?

 

[afitzy]

yes I posted the Judge's denial of FDs emergency motion on Friday
She ruled against him on Thurs.

@sds71, thanks. I so struggle to read the website so thanks for the help! I was confused because it seems to say that Judge Heller denied the Defense motion filed on 5/2 on 5/2 but then what is the 9/5 order she then did? Did Defense file another order for custody and that is what Judge Heller ruled on 9/5? Confused.

485.00 05/02/2019 D APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY EX PARTE ORDER OF CUSTODY

i didn't get this before, bowman was talking to her, and she had no acknowledgement of him talking..

don't recall seeing this link before..need a laugh here, the female reporter kept pronouncing fotis' name as 'foteese'.. LMAO now....

the footage of MT trying to close the hotel door has been on several news feeds..since i don't recall reading it here before- thought it was funny that door wouldn't close as hard as she was trying..heehee

 

[Kapua]

I have entertained this chain of events also but have two concerns.
1. The plates were so crudely doctored that I wonder if he would have risked them being notice close up by a dump attendant. Being caught by a camera on a highway might not have been as great a risk.
2. If he left Welles immediately after the bloody murder and clean up, how could he have risked being seen up close with blood all over himself and his clothes? He would have had to get out of the car to discard the bag/s.

He may have done this and lucked out but it is quite a risk to take. What are the open hours of the transfer station

To your second point, perhaps he changed clothes in the truck in the park. That would account for the small, unaccounted for gap in the timeline.
