Deceased/Not Found CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #37

Patch User Profile for Jennifer Dulos

Wow, those Patch entries provide so much insight as to who Jennifer Dulos was as a person and what she had to deal with being married to FD.
Her entry below speaks volumes as to the type of husband FD was ...his way or no way! He shut down all her ideas and she emotionally shut down too.

In Jennifer's Own Words - January 2012:
I have the bathroom all to myself most mornings. I stay far away from my husband, Fotis' wake up point, so that I can have just this. I once mentioned to him, "Wouldn't it be nice to have separate bathrooms?" if he's building all these homes and we can potentially design anything we want. He looked at me and said "That would be the end of our marriage. What's next, separate beds and bedrooms? Why even bother being married?" I'd just thought that if I had that private, sacred place to prepare myself, before I present it to the world at large, him say, I would do better – emotionally. But I did not say any of this or try to explain myself. It's like when I argued that my daughter Clea-Noelle could easily be Noelle Kleopatra, and he said if that were the case, he'd have nothing to do with her baptism, (or life!) What does one do with that? I mean, really.

Hello everyone. Forgive me if this has been discussed. How far is the gun club from JD house? FD house?

 

[Megnut]

Reading JF's blog is not easy, considering. She sounds so lonely, so exhausted...

I wish FD could be charged with a thousand counts of abuse.... even before murder, he was destroying her. Wearing her down... doing nothing to, if not to SUPPORT her in raising five babies, get out of her way her so she could do it without constant aggravation from him. His arrogance on top of that, bringing a mistress into their home.

It just wasn't enough for him to have his mistress and his lifestyle. He had to destroy the most beautiful thing that ever happened to him.

House arrest in Jennifer's house. There is nothing okay about that.

How do some judges sleep at night?

Oh dear. That cannot be a coincidence.

And let’s not forget that the stable where the Childrens’ beloved horses lived burned and killed all of the horses. FD despised that pass time, it interfered with water skiing time.

No but if you are looking for the video you can see it here w/no paywall Video shows suspicious person outside home of Kent Mawhinney’s estranged wife

Oh, my bad! Guess I was tired, and read this to mean someone else had been charged. 'Splains why WS didn't blow up!

FD showing up 30 minutes early to visitation, and zooming right up the driveway, was his abuser tactic to 1) control the situation and the woman's schedule 2) intimidate her 3) create chaos. And of course, plot and plan. For the women to lock the doors is telling - he can't be trusted.
In my opinion, the Overseer, upon learning he arrived 30 mins early and entered the property against the rules, should have ended the visitation right then. If there are no consequences, DV abusers are going to take all they can get and will not stop harassing the woman during "visitation." My opinion only.
And...did the children witness their mother running down the stairs, frantic, locking the door on their dad?
LittleBitty had an excellent post about this visitation on a previous page.

BBM. This is happening in family courts across America...NO CONSEQUENCES for violating court orders. It is a form of emotional abuse and it is inexcusable.

I love your post so much. I have to think before I can respond properly. Might need PM. Your post is beautiful. Thank you.

I meant every word, BV. You are welcome.

Just something got under my skin this morning. I had to rattle on until I got everything out of my mind that was filed up there. As if it wasn’t even me writing. My spirit had something to say.

Awful man. Kleopatra was the first name of his mother "Mama Dulos" that was run over.
Jennifer was trying to have a nice and normal life, and was sweet to suggest the name of his mother.

Well, thank CT Supreme Court who ruled the death penalty unconstitutional. Even after the Petit murders. One of the most disgusting crimes ever. So glad I'm out of the sewer of the North East part of the country. People get what they vote for. The people they elect are the ones picking the judges. Thankfully, I now live in a state with ample gun rights so I can easily defend myself and the death penalty is enforced. MOO.

@BellaVita, good to hear that you are, "locked and loaded"!

 

[afitzy]

I believe he said “she received no benefit? Or she had no benefit?” HAH!!

Not sure what this means from Atty Bowman?

Is he saying conspiracy to murder isn't possible or relevant for MT as she didn't receive a benefit? Stupid criminals line the prisons and MT will just be one amongst many when the bars close behind her.

Wonder what he thought of 3+ years of free rent for MT and her daughter, school payments for her daughter, cars and expensive travel and a salary of over $100,000 a year from FORE? FD gave MT a lifestyle that was beyond her reach based on skills and education IMO and she no doubt stayed in CT because it worked for her. I would think that the loss of her 'lifestyle' as mistress to FD might have been a powerful motive for her active participation in the murder of JFd.

MOO

Jennifer Dulos case highlights common scourge, domestic violence advocates say

 

[oceancalling]

I agree that there will be purchase point evidence tying FD and most likely MT to the physical evidence. Other WS have mentioned Pattis professional reputation in CT and he is known for effectively representing people accused of committing terrible crimes. One such case was Jennifer Valiente the girlfriend of Kyle Navin who never turned on him and only got 8 years for her role in his parents premeditated murders. This case has been mentioned by other sleuthers here. Kyle Navin of course shot both of his parents in cold blood after he heard that they were cutting him out of his will.

This relates to NP and purchase point evidence bc NPs client Jennifer Valiente was seen on Home Depot cameras purchasing items that were used to clean the evidence of the Navins murders. She also discussed the murders with him prior to their being committed (texts). To repeat she never flipped on Kyle Navin and still only got 8 years after pleading guilty of conspiracy to commit murder—two victims. One of NPs many “victories”.
Valiante gets 8 years for helping Navin kill his parents

MT might never flip.

Thank you for the local insight, which is is a worrying consideration and one seen in smaller communities, too; for the most part, one thing Big City prosecutors know how to do is prosecute murder cases. It is a sheer numbers game. While those of us living outside of CT may not understand the tactics of a lawyer like NP, posters who live in the area see the effectiveness of those tactics more clearly. NP has been a big fish in a small pond and this case is his chance to be a real TV lawyer. He is going to make the most of that opportunity. He's just that kind of guy.

It often boils down to a matter of money, experts, and tactics in these kinds of cases, and the state of CT seems to be committed for the long haul. As much as NP is "demanding" a trial, it is the very last thing he wants. Now that his client is free on bond, he will do everything possible to keep this case from going to trial.

Coangelo is going to have to hold NP's feet to the fire, and maintain control of this litigation, a very difficult endeavor. NP's most effective tactic appears to be obstruction and deliberate distortion of the facts. His office motto must be: "confusion to the enemy." Will that get him where he needs to go in this case? I certainly hope not. Our judicial system has its problems, but surely it can convict a cold-blooded killer like Dulos.

As for MT, she has made her bed and she can continue to LIE in it. With KM in the picture, MT's cooperation becomes less important. Even without KM's cooperation, and even without the other evidence which surely is in LE's possession, IMO this is a solid case. As for a CT jury, I would hope they would reach the same conclusion.

 

[Boxer]

Getting charges dropped before the trial:

1. lack of probable cause to arrest.
2. an improper criminal complaint or charging document.
3. an illegal stop or search.
4. lack of evidence to prove the defendant committed the crime.

OK NP is using #2.
That means he can't argue 1,3 and 4.
They will stand till the trial.

According to the CT DA, the DA's office followed standard CT Procedure so the Motion to Dismiss is a Supreme Court question.
MOO the motion is purely to lay the groundwork for a dismissal at the appeal level.
All appeals are only about procedure, all facts are settled in lower court.

They must have witnessed it.
But they may have been psyched that Daddy was coming.
Would she disappoint them?

Umm ok Bowman ..

I can think of plenty , here goes, feel free to add on !!


1. Engagement ring
2. Wedding ring
3. “Wife” not “Mistress”
4. Mr. & Mrs. not Fotis & Michelle

7. “ Stepdad” not, “ boyfriend”
8. Car put in her name or some such maneuvering
9. Looks better to sisters and parents

Another excerpt from JFd's blogs....She was always made to feel inadequate...Doesn't sound like a woman who wanted her marriage to end...

2012
We saw also The Dictator. Better than expected. We do a lot when Fotis is around. I fear him being grumpy that "we never go out." Like people in Greece supposedly all do, even at 40 with many young kids under six. (Not the moms that I have socialized with, they go out on weekends, but never that late. It's all a big myth set up to confuse me and make me feel I'm not measuring up.)

 

[Tink56]

And a second one...to add to the group that speaks of JFd's hopes for their relationship:


Why do I always feel like a failure along these lines? We did go to Miami for New Year's, I did water ski with him for a couple of days. But once back, the move looming, the kids back in school, and now showing Yorgos what to do, I am a bit overwhelmed and outstretched, and it's him whom I shortchange first. I won't stay up watching a movie I don't care about if it means that I will be a walking, sleep-deprived zombie the next day. I don't do anything spontaneous and "fun" during the school week, for fear of losing tight controls on the moving machinery of our daily routine. I do schedule dinners with other couples we like, and tonight I am getting a babysitter so we can go out and see a movie together, and spend that time. I know it's not enough, and it feels measly to me too. I am hoping that after the move, that there will be some breathing space, and levity all around, but I know that the moment of change is always in the present moment, what you choose to do right now. And that a smile, a warm embrace, a moment to listen, to breathe with the other person, goes a long way to creating an overall more loving atmosphere, no matter how little time there can sometimes be for just the two of us. Together, alone. To make the small interactions count more. Or just to have a language around the fact that, gosh, this is a really busy time and I don't see you that much right now, and it's hard and no fun and I miss you and I miss feeling less tense and I miss us just kicking back together and feeling more freedom to indulge in pure, clear time with you.

Hey, HB, If you are reading this, I do. Really. Miss. You.
