The other important time was 6:40 A.M. when she awakened and said FD was gone. This was huge as FD claimed he had an early morning appointment with an attorney at his home. (p. 33 on the warrant you linked above)
In going back and reviewing evidence, I watched part of the Dateline Program with the interviews with FD and NP and others. Hearing NP once again state that "they" had been able to account for FD on the morning of the 24th so far. He said FD had been "in and out" of 4JX in the morning and went on to explain that FD couldn't have driven to NC and back and done all the things LE claimed he may have done.
How does a defense attorney deal with a client after something like AW2 reveals that the client has been lying to the him?
Try this on for a fit:
“If it don’t fit, gotta acquit!”
I’ll try to bullet point a few things.
That week, FD and MT were social butterflies. Seems to me, without reviewing a thousand pages of posts,
1. FD tried to meet with soon to be X wife of his Friday morning meeting lawyer alibi. Twice.
2. Wednesday afternoon/evening FD had supervised visitation at JFD rental home. FD played with children, outside, basketball as I recall. Plenty of TIME to check out security. Cameras. Placement.
3. Thursday evening FD and MT hosted a party, cocktails or dinner at their home. Adults only. Children not invited. Any residence children were IMHO either sent to sitter or to a prearranged sleep over. BC:
4. Friday am MT WOKE UP not was awakened by alarm. If you have a real JOB or children that need to be at school in the am, your poor adult body becomes acclimated you waking up at just about the same time every school day. FD was an early bird. 4:00 am by most accounts. So let’s say he leaves the house 5:00 or so. Whatever the routine is for him.
MT woke up at 6:40. That gives her about an hour to get up, take a shower, dress, make breakfast for a child, gather up the child with all school items and leave the house. Now we’re at 7:30-7:40 am. 20-30 minute drive to school. 8:00 ish ETA. Typical day.
5. That Friday, there were no children to help get ready for school. So after spending an hour getting herself ready, she leaves at about 7:40 am. Like clockwork. But instead of driving to school, she takes the half hour or so to drive to job site. Arrives 8:15 or so at job site and now we have two vehicles.
FD had already arrived way earlier in EE truck. Typical am. EE not expected to arrive at job site until about 9:30 that am. EE expects no one at job site.
FD started trampling through poison ivy covered back path to JFD’s rent house. As early as he can bc he probably had a backpack, duffle bag, something to carry his tools. Knife. Plastic trash bags. Some rags. Remember he left his house about 5:00. Maybe a bit later. Got to job site 5:30-5:46-6:00. Depending on traffic. By no later than 7:00, he’s tramping through the woods. To Grandma’s house. Wolf in sheep’s clothing.
With me so far?
Great. Let’s say hour to trample through woods. Gets to Jennifer rent house that he previously checked out for security and cuts whatever lines he needs to cut to dismantle alarms. And lays in wait.
6. MT drive her vehicle straight to job site. Traded her ride for EE pickup. Then drives EE truck to Waverley (?) Park. Kind of off to the side somewhere. And waits for FD. She should have arrived at park about 8:30-8:45 am.
7. In the time MT waiting at park, FD killed JFD. And then realized what a MESS he had made. I’m estimating death at 8:20 or so. Maybe a little sooner. Crap. Look at this. So he stuffs JFD into her suburban wrapped up in the suburban carpet. And starts cleaning up the mess as fast as he can but running out of time. So rinses his messy bloody hands off in kitchen, dumb move, wipes on towels, rags whatever and grabs everything shoved into trash bags destined for Albany Odyssey of Stupidity.
8. Drives JFD Suburban to park. Moves body from Suburban into EE truck in front seat.
Shoves MT on floor in back. Races back over to job site. MT jumps out of back seat of EE truck. Gets into her car and off they go.
Remember, she has a perfect alibi. Some party goer forgot her clutch at party night before. Right. Corroborating alibi for MT for that Friday morning.
9. Now as I remember he drives to NYC and was denied visitation by an armed guard.
10. That’s a 2 hour trek.
11. So who’s left? NP telling us the truth that LE cannot make a case stick. NP effectively roped in MT into the web.
Please correct who went where at what time. My thoughts are based on my recollections.
FD alibi lawyer meeting is now not confirmed. His Greek phone calls witness that was scheduled to arrive in the USA to corroborate telephone call to Greece never materialized. Oh, yes, the clutch dinner party bag? Who did it belong to, MT? I don’t know too many ladies that lose their purses at parties.
I CANNOT GET THESE TWO REPLIES SEPARATED.

Attorney for Jennifer Dulos’ mother: Troconis making a ‘mockery’ of deposition
An attorney representing Jennifer Dulos’ mother said Michelle Troconis is making “a mockery” of her court-ordered deposition by invoking her Fifth Amendment rights on a “wholesale basis” during questioning.
In the latest of a series of legal filings by each of the attorneys involved, Richard Weinstein, who represents Gloria Farber, urged the court to “compel” Troconis to answer questions in the civil lawsuits against her former boyfriend, Fotis Dulos.
Weinstein contends Troconis could have valuable information pertaining to the business dealings of Fotis Dulos’ real estate development company, Fore Group.
Bowman is seeking to avoid having his client provide answers during a deposition on her former boyfriend’s finances because he fears it could incriminate her in the criminal proceedings.
“The sole purpose in pursuing the same (the other returns) was and is an attempt to ascertain the net worth of the Farbers and efforts to otherwise utilize said information in regard to the then pending divorce,” Weinstein said.

Can the questions/paperwork be reviewed “in camera?” By judge only to determine what can be released and what shouldn’t be released per 5th Amendment?
The frustration with all of this wrangling will lead to a Connecticut Challenge: voluntarily revamp your old, archaic system. Or involuntarily you’ll be up for a blood letting.
My head pounds when I try to get a grip on what it would take to make a CHANGE. Worse, how the rest of the USA can make a change happen from outside of CT. Bc I believe we’d have to be on the streets of CT to demand and win change. We are beating ourselves up trying to secure justice by enforcing laws ALREADY ON THE BOOKS with out being right there, front and center, and marching with the obnoxious hand lettered signs, blaring megaphones and supporting, screaming crowds.
I don’t think diplomacy is going to make it happen. Unfortunately.
I don’t want Jennifer’s legacy to have to be a fight in the trenches. I would prefer an image that reflects Jennifer Farber herself. Gracious. Intelligent. Hard working. Dedicated. Courteous. Loved and respected by all who knew her.
I’ll keep thinking. But soon, I’ll have to act. I’ll have to “just get it done.”
