If you go here (
69 WELLES LANE, New Canaan, CT 06840 (Sold NYStateMLS Listing #10181122)) and click on the slideshow, the first entryway picture has what appears to be a security pad above the light switch. This is from an old listing (2018) but shows the security pad but that doesn't answer whether or not Jennifer had an activated security system.
ETA: Security pad here (
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/69-Welles-Ln-New-Canaan-CT-06840/57324591_zpid/?mmlb=g,11) in lower level (possibly garage entry) on photo number 12 of 25.
I can't imagine that JD did not have an active
monitoring account for her security system.
She seemed pretty organized and considering
the fear she was living with re: the contentious divorce, I would expect that system to be active
and that she habitually used it.
With that said, I used to have that exact same
pad at my former home. I had the sophisticated security system installed because
I lived alone on a large wooded property and
LE was not always closeby, if needed.
I had an incident of a break in by a LE officer,
during the daytime, while I was home in the shower. Very scarey incident. Never resolved.
After the incident I called my security guy who
installed the system, told him the story of the break in and he told me this, when I asked for his opinion on whether this was an innocent break in (??) or a planned break in.
He said that my system could have been overridden if another new home was having
a similar system being installed and not too far away from my place. He said it was possible
the other new home system could have been programmed w/ similar acct. #s and could
have sounded or turned off my alarm. Not likely but possible. So is it possible Fd in
building Sturbridge was installing a similar
security system and programmed it in a way
to override JFD's system? Could he have screwed up her system? Did LE look into
this possibility?
I was shocked and very concerned that my expensive security system could have been controlled by someone else's system several miles away.
Just some food for thought.
