Silver Alert - CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #22

9/12/19 Update: Arraignment on 2nd arrested for tampering with evidence. Plead not guilty to new charges. Some of his attorney’s comments, both inside and outside of the courtroom, led Judge John Blawie to issue the gag order. Dulos is due back in court 10/4 as the case has been transferred to Stamford Superior Court.
9/20/19 Update: Judge John Blawie scheduled a 2 p.m. hearing after receiving a report from probation officials that raises concerns that Dulos is not properly recharging the batteries of his GPS monitoring system. Pattis said the issue apparently occurred four times between August and September. Blawie could revoke his probation on Monday but is more likely to admonish Dulos and warn him to adhere to the rules of the GPS monitoring or have his probation revoked. The GPS system is battery operated and defendants are required to charge it at the same time every day or night. Dulos was scolded for not keeping his GPS tracking bracelet properly charged. The judge said this is not a trivial matter. Dulos’ attorney said his client should not even be required to even wear a GPS monitoring device. Stamford State’s Attorney Richard Colangelo said Dulos should not only be required to wear the bracelet. He asked the judge to have a curfew imposed so that Dulos is sure to charge it every night. The judge said no to both attorneys requests. Back on 10/4 where Pattis will argue their motion to dismiss all charges against Dulos.
10/4/19 Update: Before we even got to the motion to dismiss, state’s attorney mentions Fotis Dulos’ comments to a Greek media outlet about Jennifer’s mental health despite a gag order in the case. Judge John Blawie said that the statements made by Fotis were NOT under any of the exceptions listed by the gag order. Issued a warning to the defendant and said the gag order is “binding” until any other court, I.e. Supreme Court, rules otherwise. Judge will wait for State Supreme Court to rule on gag order challenge before deciding if Dulos violated it in interview with Greek newsweekly. Attorney Smith argued for the criminal case to be dismissed, saying that a hindering the prosecution charge can’t stick because there is no underlying or “predicate” felony charge to which it should be attached. Judge Blawie will not make a decision in the motion to dismiss. Next court date is Nov. 6th.
10/28/19 Update: Defense Attorney Pattis will file his arguments Monday (10/28/19) in favor of the state Supreme Court overturning a gag order imposed by a lower court judge in the criminal case against his client, Dulos. Attorneys for the Chief State's Attorney's Office will have until Nov. 22 to file their brief opposing Pattis’ appeal. Pattis will then have until Dec. 5 to file a rebuttal before the Supreme Court hears the case on Dec. 9.
*Michelle C. Tronconis (44) (Dulos’ GF) – Next pretrial hearing 12/6.



Yes, I'll be shortening this up a bit! :)
 
@BrianSpyroS
Dulos will be back in court today as he faces charges in connection to the disappearance of JenniferDulos. The last time he was in court his legal team argued the charges should be dropped because he hasn’t been charged with murder.
@WTNH

NP grasping at straws. FD didn’t have to be the murderer to be charged with evidence tampering and obstruction of justice. But then again, NP is forgetful. Maybe he forgot the FD doesn’t have to be the perp. NP forgot the Statement of Issues. I guess NP forgot that the legal elements necessary to prove evidence tampering and obstruction of justice don’t include commission of the underlying crime. Mr. Bowman has a better memory for details.
 
I am reallllllllllyyyy hoping for something big to happen today at court. I know it probably won't but a girl can hope.

Today would be a great day to drop murder charges on his [REDACTED] behind. Imo Fo showing up in his velvet blazer and Gucci shoes getting cuffed and stuffed at the courthouse would be perfect.
 
6/1/19

A distraught MT is captured by Fox61 photographer leaving 4Jx with full State Police escort as she and FD go to Litchfield CT to give DNA swabs. I wonder if MT is simply angry at being caught by LE in the below picture as thus far we have seen zero evidence of her cooperation in the investigation into the disappearance/murder of JF?

Was this moment when things got 'real' for FD and MT and it became clear that there was no escape from the situation that they found themselves in? IDK

My guess is that this picture was taken shortly after she hugged her daughter goodbye and her daughter left in the care of Mama A.

New: Source tells @FOX61News that #JenniferDulos' estranged husband Fotis Dulos surrendered to give a buccal swab for DNA last night. We got a shot of him leaving his home last night in State Police escort. #NewCanaan Police confirm that warrants (plural) are involved.
Thanks, Fitzy. Have never seen this.
Too bad their car conversation wasn't recorded.
MOO.

Fotis Dulos just arrived at Stamford Superior Court for what is expected to be a short pre-trial hearing

Dulos case no longer merits its own courtroom. His case is listed along with every other pending case for a regular courtroom. They have been holding his hearings separately in a 4th floor courtroom.

Fotis Dulos arrives at Stamford Court for today’s case connected to the disappearance of his wife #JenniferDulos. Attorney Norm Pattis can’t make it and I’m told a new member of the defense team will ask for a continuance at the hearing.
@News12CT


Dulos case moved to January 7th and we’re done here.
@News12CT

Dulos was in court for 15 seconds. Judge schedules next court date for January 7. None of pending motions were addressed

This must have been a rough day for them. I remember how I was glued to the news coverage watching the search on Albany Ave with firefighters, dogs, fire trucks and ambulance, and tons and tons of LE, unfold on live TV that afternoon. I can only imagine their concerns when a few hours later LE showed up at the house with the search and DNA warrants. Clearly FD was pissed as you could see by the way he slammed the door of the Yukon and paced in the atrium in the Daily Mail video.
While MT does look stressed here as if her head is in her hand, it may also be MTs early evasion of the press- remember her classic attempts to cover her head and face with her sweater during her early arrest and court appearances. That was before she caught on that these could be tryouts for her new modeling career and she put on her stilettos and blowouts.
 
Fotis looks like he's taking charge of the press etc. Wonder if the "new attorney" was brought on after Smith walked away from the last press conference. Marissa has it on her Twitter:

Just saw the post above by @sds71....Will leave this as Fotis seems to be acting with more disgust and greater determination....Idjiot!

You never know! Perhaps we will hear it played eventually at trial down the line! If warrants were in place the technology exists to listen to what was said inside the FD vehicle as the State Police vehicle (actually multiples) surrounded them on the drive to Litchfield. That would be incredible to hear if it were done.

Possible ideas for convo:

MT to FD: What is this DNA swab thing they want us to do?

FD: They want to see if we might have been in certain places or touched certain things.

MT: You mean they can figure that out just by taking a swab? And why do we have to go to Litchfield it is so far away and I need to do something about my hair as its a mess.

FD: WAIT, I thought you understood all this as we talking about it when we were working on the 'alibi scripts'. It was super impt for you to wear gloves at all times and the paper booties over your shoes. You did this didn't you?

MT: No way, I hate those rubber gloves and I always feel like I'm going to fall when I wear the paper booties. You didn't tell me it was that important! I thought is was something I kinda had to do if I wanted to.

FD: No, I told you you had to wear the gloves, tie up your hair and wear the booties at all times.

MT: You didn't say that and you never told me to tie up my hair. If I didn't do this then what does it mean?

FD: You are [REDACTED] Michi, sorry.

MOO

Yes, makes sense that Atty Smith mighta/sorta been a tad bit upset about wasting 2+ months with the alibi script as he was the one I believe that did the initial interview with FD at BPT Jail before Atty. P. met with FD.

Working with clients that don't tell the truth is hard to do and IMO the Atty. P. patter over the early months of the case severely limited future defense options and IMO it was all due to FD most likely not telling the truth and Atty. P. wild, irresponsible and speculative theories along with his fabrications about MT lie detector and alibi etc. IMO Pattisville has a real mess on their hands but what was interesting was that the situation was almost entirely due to choices/decisions of FD.

MOO
 
Shortest Dulos hearing so far. Case continued to Jan. 7. After court, Dulos again stated he loves his kids. Attorney Chris La Tronica did not address the media.

“my only concern is my children, I care deeply about them and I can’t wait to see them again”

Translation: My only concern is my children and their trust funds and I can't wait to see them again even though I haven't contributed a penny in child support for them and I haven't bothered to even "pretend look" or show any concern for the mother they love dearly & must deeply miss.

And btw, why does the press cater to him like that with the microphones set up outside the courthouse? He's not a celebrity, he's a suspected murderer who doesn't deserve any attention. Nothing he says is of any importance. The only people I want to hear from are LE & the only words I want to hear are: You're under arrest Mr. Dulos.
MOO.

He is dressed like an "International Man of Mystery"...and remember..."his only concern is for his children. He cares deeply about them". So much so, that he killed their mother. What a joke he is and what a joke the CT Judicial system is. I'm getting more and more worried that nothing will ever happen to this guy or his stiletto wearing concubine. moo

Is it just the lighting or did FD dye his hair?
 
Updating the timeline to include the following Family Court document filed 5/31/19 or 7 days after the JF Missing Date (Missing Date 5/24/19):

On 5/31/19 FD filed the following withdrawal of deposition notices for Dr. David Lopez (Child Psychiatrist for Dulos Children), LA (Nanny to Dulos Children) and JF. All were scheduled to be in Court in early June.

IMO these depositions perhaps might feature prominently in the category of 'motive':
.View attachment 213600

MOO
The other important issue that was going on with Dr Lopez was his communication with the GAL about the children and what the GAL did/didn't do in this regard. Most of this testimony is understandably sealed but when looking at motive options it is hard to not include this on the list as certainly being possible IMO.

As we saw FD again mention his children as he was leaving the court today, its hard to not see that custody and any associated $ must have played into the FD calculus as to motive. JF continued to fight consistently hard about custody and the emotional and physical well being of the children and Dr. Lopez was key to this analysis and equation IMO. FD on multiple occasions seemed unwilling or incapable of understanding the impact of the overall divorce situation and the MT/daughter situation on the children so far as the court records show. Dr. Lopez might have been due for a debriefing by the court and Judge Heller and JF atty and perhaps this might have derailed FD argument for custody? This is pure speculation as the Dr Lopez testimony never happened but thinking about what he might have said and perhaps its long term impact, could perhaps shed some light on motive IMO. Its hard to talk about the impact of divorce on children as for many its a devastating situation from which many don't recover. But, if FD thought that custody might have been forever altered by the testimony then perhaps that enter the motive equation as well IMO. Ditto on this speculation for the Nanny deposition as she was on the frontline of dealing with the children on a daily basis and would have a POV on how they were coping and managing the situation, or not. No need for many words on JF deposition on the issue of the children as she no doubt felt strongly about the psychological impact of the divorce on the children and in particular the 2 oldest.

The overall situation of the divorce was heartbreaking but perhaps the custody arrangement analysis had reached a pivotal point in Family Court and so could have driven FD/MT choices in the weeks before the testimony was due? IDK, just random speculation on the ongoing topic of motive/s.
MOO
