Deceased/Not Found CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #35

[MollyDDD]

Having a bike like that made in France I’m sure was a status symbol for him. I’d think it made him more interesting to the world he so desperately wanted to be a part of and probably helped assimilate with that crowd for sure. Like having an old Wilson tennis racket or something similar or paddles for a rowboat kinda deal. While he was by no means poor growing up he certainly didn’t grow up like for instance JD and MT did. But he very much wanted people like them to think he did and was familiar with that lifestyle in every way.
Yeah ride your vintage childhood Mercier bicycle to kill your wife. Then remove the logo/decal from said bike when you are getting rid of it and place said logo/decal in a trashbag that contains items with JDs blood on them and your finger prints and yours and MTs DNA.

Honestly, he’s as dumb as a door nail. Does CT have the death penalty?

Early reports suggested it was his childhood bike (post upthread)
I’m wondering if there are family photos of him with that bike seized during the search of his home ? That would tie him neatly to the bike
JMO

I believe there are pics of him in his youth w/ bike. Per AW.

I’m still puzzled as to why he removed and disposed of some of her clothing (bra, shirt) and perhaps those zip ties from her body that were found in the dumpsters, (if that proves to be the case) before getting rid of her body.
Why not just bury, sink, burn or dissolve everything in one place? I am sorry to be so graphic, but even if he did chop up her body to be put in the incinerator, why not put everything in there and not in those separate trash bags?
That just seems pretty logical to me. So I can’t help but think her clothing and those zip ties (if they were used to restrain her) must have somehow hindered the way he disposed of her. But how?

Also, the AW describes the clothing as having been cut.

Excellent question, disposing of these items away from the body makes little sense if the body is buried.

Lye is a strong alkali used to dissolve bodies which is comprises sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Stored in plastic.

Plastics won't dissolve in many acids, clothing not sure. Not sure what lye does to clothing, but I know weak sodium hydroxide doesn't touch clothing since I get it on my clothes in the lab.

Doesn't seem like he would use lye on his properties, since there would probably be evidence left of the lye usage.

I can’t think of many uses a normal person would have to keep lye around the house. I mean, if you are a soap maker or a baker of certain kinds of breads/pastries, you may have some in your house (I do)-but it isn’t even all that easy to come by without there being a record of it, like if you buy it online, because I’ve never seen it in stores, unless you are buying Draino, and using that as your lye source. I don’t think he used lye in any form, though. But not because he didn’t think of it.

 

[enelram]

I'm still wondering why the Greek friend, Andreas was so important to the case that he was mentioned along w/ KM and MT as pertinent, in the AW. Anyone else notice this?
Greek friend MUST have played a more important role other than just making an "alibi"
call early morning on 5/24.

There is a photo dated 2008 found in one of the homes. It's in AW.

Looks like FD was angling for a Frazee defense. No body, no crime. In fact, these Einsteins thought, "no body, NO INVESTIGATION." He planned it out. Get up early, drive a borrowed vehicle, ride his bike the last leg, overpower, remove, dispose, be back at 4JC while the sex shower was still running. His alibi script tells me that he fully expected the meeting with KM and the Greek phone call would cover for his absence, which means he expected being gone only a short time. MOO


Further, I think, if he did dispose of his beloved bicycle, he removed the labels to, in his pygmalion mind, render it identifiable. I think he thought no one would find ALL of his trash bags or connect them in any way, hence a little in this one, a little in that one. If no one were looking for JD, nobody'd get excited about some soiled paper towels and a bike logo, or so he must have reasoned. He's sunk. His DNA in the inside of a double pair of gloves and hers on the outside. Sunk.

And all for what? Money. To cover up his failures as a businessman, as a provider, as a husband, as a man. AS A HUMAN BEING.

Thank God for GF, stepping in, and protecting the children at all cost.

He's ruthless. Arguably soul-less.

LWOP for him and his co-conspirators. No one's safe if they're loose.

MOO MOO MOO

Bravo!

 

[MollyDDD]

Thinking FD must have disposed of bike and body in same location .

If Tacoma picture is authenticate , it shows JD’s body and FD’s Bike in the bed of the truck together . FD most likely unloaded body and bike and got rid of them at the same time.
But, where ?
Moo

My thought too. Where you find the bike, you’ll find the body. Let’s get out those metal detectors!

 

[SkylarSid]

When they were rummaging through the trash on Albany Avenue, detectives found a logo belonging to a vintage Mercier brand bicycle, the affidavit says.

Right. I was thinking you implied the entire bike, but perhaps he did toss the entire bike!

 

[Alkali13]

Can someone please explain why FD would be offered any bail at all? I thought for such a serious crime - murder - you are usually held without bail. It seems crazy to me. If you are rich, you don't have to wait for trial in jail? And pulling together under 500K is nothing in a rarified world. Yes he is broke, but he and his disgusting lawyer are scammer types. I'm sure he can find that money so that he can spend the next year-plus running around (and possibly running off) instead of sitting in jail where he should be. He will do damage. His kids, his foreign connections - if any rime should have no bail.... I am so confused. Wouldn't this be like giving, say, Scott Peterson bail? I don't understand offering bail here.
[edited to add SP

I'm personally confused about the bail as well. We had a recent case where someone was arrested for unrelated charges after a murder (arrested on a violation of felony/weapon vio), and their bond had the stipulation that, even if they paid the bond, they were NOT to be released without the permission of a judge. Why isn't the same applied here???

Ugh. If anyone deserves it, it’s FD. Thank you.

That’s where mine comes from; I guess LE could find out, if they thought it was important, whether or not he bought it online. I am just not feeling it, though. I think he/they did something else with her body besides dissolving it.

BTW-just wanted to say that, just because we both keep lye around, doesn’t mean I think we aren’t “normal”!

[enelram]

I wonder if LE knows where the grates over the
initial empty grave came from?
Were they from Fd's or KM's home grill? Or grills at the Gun Club for when they had their
manly boys club cookouts?
Have the grates been replaced to their grill of origin? If they're still missing, maybe that's a clue that she was buried in another spot and the grates used at the 'new' grave site.

if there is a body buried (ground or lake) could it be in one of these places ?

I think this map is incorrect. It has Canaan pointed out, not New Canaan. They are nooowhere near each other. Waveny Park is in New Canaan.

 

[Chessman]

I doubt the bike or the "corpus delicti" will be ever be found, these don't amount to a lot of weight. Precedent will dictate the course of the trial likely, evidence of all types; financial records would show a lot. My special forces friend thinks MT will flip. Check mate for FD. I have heard people say that just one day in prison can be horrific.
