Either skip this post, or get a drink and a snack. This is really long, and goes back to the arrest warrant.
I am trying to understand the party the night before, what vehicles were where, and when it would be possible for Fotis to travel to New Canaan.
I have not read every chain, but of the ones I have read I haven't seen three things discussed often, and I think might be significant.
One, it takes about 40 minutes by foot to travel between 4JX and 80 MS. I think he did this once and LE showed they know it on the warrant. and I think he could have done so again after the evening party.
Two, there are roads other than the interstates and the Merritt to take between Jennifer's home and 4 JX. This route is longer than on the highways without traffic, but are significantly shorter when traffic is backed up, so I am sure these routes are known to Fotis. One might cut through NY for a short time, which apparently Fotis did with his ankle bracelet on.
The third is below in the bolded, italicized and colorized sections below. I have a feeling there is something between the lines in the 2 paragraphs of the arrest warrant about the Black Raptor captured on video coming home at 8:10 ish and stopping at the mailbox.
Any LE people here? I don't think it would be noticed if an "impossible" CT tag was driving along in daylight. I believe if a tag is being sought, the data can be searched for it.
I think Fotis travelled in the in darkness Thursday night or Friday morning by a vehicle. I don't know if it was the red Tacoma or another vehicle, but I suspect it traveled with the altered plate. I believe he travelled back in daylight in a vehicle, again I don't know which one.
Things I think are solid are in Red
Things I wonder are in purple
My MOO juice is in black
Thursday Evening or Night:
There was some kind of gathering/party at 4 Jefferson Crossing. Michelle, Fotis, and a woman who left her purse were there.
(Who else was there?)
(What were the times of guests arriving/departing?)
(What Dulos/Traconis vehicles were parked there for the night?)
(Where was the blk Raptor?) (Or the black Raptors? See below.)
(Where was the employee’s red Tacoma?)
(Were the party arrivals and departures captured on the neighbor’s or neighbors’ camera or cameras?)
On Thursday, May 23rd in Farmington, sunset was at _____; twilight was at 8:43.
The weather at 6:00 PM was partly cloudy, 64 degree, 9mph breeze. Weather was stable until about 3:00. It cooled to a low of 57 degrees between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM the next morning. The moon was waning and 6 days after the full moon. The moon rose on Thursday evening at 11:43.
The temperature varied a bit more in New Canaan. At 6:00 PM the temperature was higher at 70, and it was down to 57 by midnight, and hit a low at 6:00 AM of 52 degrees. The wind was slightly stronger, 11 mph, but the details about cloudiness were the same.
On Friday, May 24th in New Canaan, morning twilight was at 4:52, and sunrise was at 5:24. It was darkest until 4:11 AM, although the larger than half moon was out in the partly cloudy skies.
We know it is about a 40 minute walk between 4 JX and 80 MS.
We know it is about a 6-7 minute drive between 4 JX and 80 MS.
We know that LE released the following information (and left the following out)
Fotis’ phone departed 4 JX (At what time? How long did it take to get to 80 MS? Did it go directly?)
Fotis’ phone “enters” 80 MS at 1:37 PM (From Where? How long did it take?)
Fotis’ phone stays at 80 MS until 3:38. LE mentions this is more than 2 hours. (Why mention this?)
Fotis’ phone goes from 80 MS to 4 JX in the time between 3:38 and 4:17. (This is the only time LE gives us the start time and end time of a trip. Are they making a point that they know he walked, since that is about the amount of time it takes? Or are they making a point that they know he traveled elsewhere in between?)
Fotis’ phone is back at 4JX at 4:17.
Fotis’”had returned” to 80 MS at 5:21 (When did it leave 4 JX? Did it go directly?)
Fotis’ phone arrived at his residence 4JX at 5:34 (When did it leave 80 JX? Did it go directly? If he drove directly for 7 minutes, he left at 5:27 and spent only 6 minutes there.)
“At 19:10, Dulos’ device travelled to the area of Albany Avenue.” (Did he leave 4 JX at 7:10, or arrive on Albany Avenue at 7:10?)
“At 19:41, Dulos’ device left the area of Albany Avenue and returned to his residence.” (When did it return? The same time as the neighbors’ video surveillance?)
One of the following is true: There are 2 cameras that caught the action we read about in the arrest warrant, or there were two males, one affirmatively called “Dulos,” and two black Raptors, one affirmatively Dulos’.
The first video mentioned in the arrest warrant says it showed a black raptor pull into “Dulos’” driveway. A man who “matched the appearance of the male depicted in Hartford,” walked to “Dulos’ mailbox” and “retrieved the mail.” The male got back in “the” Raptor and drove further on the property out of camera range. No info on the tags. The Raptor continued onto the property and out of camera range. This was said to occur at 8:12 PM.
The second video mentioned was very clear that it depicted Dulos. It stated that a black Raptor with Dulos’ tags pulled up, and that Dulos – not a male- got out and walked to the mail box. It does NOT say that mail was removed. No actions involving the mailbox (or anything else) were mentioned aside from walking to the mailbox, and returning to “his” car. It says what Dulos – not a male- appeared to be wearing: a light colored tee shirt and black pants. The licence plate was readable. There was no information about the Raptor continuing in any direction. This was said to occur at 8:10 PM.
(Is this warrant saying that there were two different cameras that showed different angles and levels of detail, set to two different times? In other words, was there only one male in a black raptor, and one video had enough clarity to capture the plate, call the man “Dulos” and assert that the car, driveway and mailbox was “his,” while the other only showed that the man matched the description of the Albany Avenue male and could not show with certainty which Black Raptor it was?)
(Is this warrant subtly saying that there were two different males, one who matched the description of the person on Albany Avenue, who himself “matched the description” of Dulos, driving one Black Raptor, and Dulos driving his actual Black Raptor? If so, why the backwards order? That would indicate that Dulos arrived and walked to the mailbox, then went who-knows-where? Then the male resembling Dulos did more or less the same but retrieved the mail two minutes later.)
It takes about 20-40 minutes, very loose estimate, depending on route, traffic, and which part of the “area” of Albany Avenue the device left from.
(Did they start distributing the contents of the truck farther from home and work their way closer, or the other way around?)
I do not believe this was a direct drive or a drive without stops from Hartford to 4 FX; I think there are 10-30 minutes unaccounted for.
