Anyone thinking new gf looks a lot like Jennifer?

Yes I definitely thought that too!

 

[LetJusticePrevail]

Some have commented that they think they look alike. I don’t think they look anything alike. <modsnip>

My question is after all these wonderful qualifications he became a builder. Not dissing on builders. Just sayin'.

he probably cheated his way through school or lied about his achievements (or bought his degree)
he strikes me as one of those types that when someone starts digging finds out he didnèt even go to school much less graduate JMO

 

[tmar]

First time, long time, btw ... I've lived in several places in CT. After living in CA, it's amazing sometimes how small CT is.

Welcome isabella
When/where will JD be located?
I am hoping for an arrest, as JD's life was disturbing, as now revealed.
MOO.

I dunno. There’s no reason that it can’t be legitimate.

Being educated and intelligent has nothing to do with having major character flaws.

You can be smart, and still be a manipulative person.

And worse.

Thank you! I've lurked for a while and am very impressed with everyone. I hope they find her soon!!

Yes. This is easily verifiable info - the reporters would have been all over this if he lied about his background. These are well-known schools and he lives in an area with people who go to these schools. He didn't fake his education, imo.

I find plenty of fault with this guy, but I do think his education is legit.

Me too and I think he used that masters degree to figure out how to hide money IMO

Agree with MassGuy. Ted Bundy is a perfect example.

Any day now.

It’s going to take time to put all the pieces together, but they are there.

Law enforcement seems to be anything but lost.

You cannot possibly commit a crime like this, let alone commit it during the daytime, and not leave a tremendous amount of evidence in your wake.

I don’t care how smart you are, or how prepared you were.

Mistakes were made.

I found this picture of the two of them from a while ago on the ebroderick site. Very sad for poor Jennifer and their children.
Families

(As a side issue I wonder why they left it so long to get married and start a family. Did she have some doubts about his character? Or was he stalling? And did they then have some IVF given how old they both were by that point, to produce two sets of twins? )

My own thinking is that he came to hate the woman whose family funded his company. His building company was not easily making money on their developments, with a large number unsold, and he might have been struggling to re-pay the loans. It made him feel beholden and emasculated by the debt to his in-laws and his wife. He was supposed to be grateful and dutiful. He even did a project building a summerhouse for his in-laws. But it was all clashing with his self image as the big family provider man of the house.

So he started to have an affair to make himself feel like the big man again - risking the loss of something even more precious - his reputation and appearance as a family man. Because it was all about appearances.

So he fought bitterly the divorce proceedings and financial disclosure. His ego told him he was cleverer than everyone else.

The forthcoming custody/safeguarding hearing was the final straw. His access might have been even further curtailed - he needed to get rid of his poor wife. It seemed like a shortcut and the easy way out. I personally believe he hired someone, thinking he was clever, but by accident they made a mess. And he made a fatal mistake in going to a strange part of town and getting caught on CCTV (which seems very odd, stupid even).

I'm not entirely sure about this - I am hoping there is DNA that places him at the scene - I just can't imagine he took the risk of being involved in broad daylight with the disposal of the body or moving of the car. (I happen to believe the phone would have been disposed of as well...) But whatever the case, he probably had a very good understanding of where security cameras were and were not going to catch movements near her house and in the neighbourhood. And I think someone else must have been involved - I cant work out how else they knew they could catch him on CCTV on the wrong side of town.

JMOO Poor Jennifer - she was right about him. A very dangerous man.

 

[MassGuy]

I think the murder was committed by one person, but this person may have had help with the cleanup and disposal (of body and vehicle).

If you hire a hitman, he’s probably not taking the risk of removing Jennifer’s body and car.

The solicitor typically sets up an alibi, appearing in a place where he will be seen (while the crime is being committed).

The hitman commits the murder, and leaves the body.

So I’m leaning towards two theories:

This was premeditated, and the perpetrator planned to commit this crime in advance.

The perpetrator intended to confront Jennifer, and an argument escalated to murder.

The only real difference between the two, is that the second scenario means that the coverup was committed in panic, and he made more mistakes than the alternative.

Either way, this will be solved.

 

[KALI]

If he is arrested and charged, who else thinks he's going to claim that Jennifer attacked him and an accident happened while he was defending himself?_

Any day now.

JMOO Poor Jennifer - she was right about him. A very dangerous man.

Strikes me as a sad photograph--his hands deep in his pockets while she embraces him.
And how is the fact that LE took DNA from FD breaking news at this point? Didn't we learn that already?

 

[MassGuy]

If he is arrested and charged, who else thinks he's going to claim that Jennifer attacked him and an accident happened while he was defending himself?_

If he does that, I’d say “good luck with that.”

He likely laid in wait, in a place where he had absolutely no business being.

She wanted nothing to do with him, was terrified of him, and certainly wouldn’t have willingly allowed him inside her home.

 

[enelram]

I'm very curious about FD's childhood. Where are his parents?
I see he has one sister 13 yrs. older than him and is an architect.
He came to US at 18 yrs. old. Did he come alone? Any family
here?
I always like to see what these type guys had for family function
or dysfunction when they were growing up.
how did he get so screwed up to resort to murder (allegedly)?
What influenced him in his formative years?

 

[littlegreen]

There’s a vigil tomorrow evening. I wonder if we will see an arrest before then?

 

[enelram]

Strikes me as a sad photograph--his hands deep in his pockets while she embraces him.

This photo shows me who had the most 'power' in that family.
Looks like she was totally enamored by him and he could give 2
figs about her.
Maybe she was always just a bank account to him. Maybe he
was never capable of love and giving to others. What a way for her
to have to live. Did she not see through this before she married him? Did she think she could change him and turn him into a
loving, kind person?

I could not agree more.

I think the person who wanted JD out of the way is the one who went to the house that day.

I don't think this was a contract killing/hitman scenario.

If you hire someone to do your dirty work for you, you don't then drive yourself out to Hartford to dispose of evidence, if that is in fact what FD was doing there in Hartford. That totally defeats the purpose of contracting a hit.
The goal is to keep your hands completely clean.
Like Pontius Pilate.

Agree that the perpetrator may have had help in the aftermath, i.e., assistance with cleaning up the crime scene, help moving JD and/or removing evidence in the home, providing alibis, etc.

We've certainly seen that scenario play out here before.
If I see or hear the words "Landfill Search" in relation to this case, I'm going to vent a spleen.
