No, I think the childhood bike, like everything else in FD's life, was just good while it lasted and served a purpose, and when it was convenient for him to resurrect it to employ in his ploy to get to his estranged wife's house to kill her without using a motor vehicle that would be much more likely to be seen or captured on video, he pulled it out of his bag of tricks, assuming no one would remember it, bring it up, or tie it to him using it to pedal to her house and commit murder. He was that arrogant, he pulled the metal tag off it and put it in one of the trash bags he disposed of in Hartford the evening of the day she disappeared.
The more I think about all the egregious circumstances and history on FD's part, the DV, the abandonment of his wife and children, the usury of his wife and family's financial assets, the paramour he welcomed to live in the home he shared with his wife and children, the creeps he associated with, his wife's disappearance after a serious physical assault, etc., the more incredulous I am that AW#3 and arrests yesterday for murder and kidnapping for FD, and conspiracy to commit murder for MT & KM are even bailworthy.
That's just not right, IMO, no matter what, and adds insult to injury for JFd's loved ones that FD is still 'on the loose' and not kept behind bars after what he's been charged with by LE and the State of doing (murder, felony murder, and kidnapping). He's not a good candidate for bail, IMO, and there are many court decisions against him for not complying in family court, prior to the criminal charges against him.
I'm flabbergasted about the bail bonds for all 3 of them following AWs#3, even though CT may be an exception without capital murder (death penalty) leverage... FD seems like a real 'menace to society', or at least people he knows, and poses a public threat that should be weighed into bail decisions, IMO.
MOO
