Silver Alert CT - Jennifer Dulos, 50, New Canaan, 24 May 2019 *ARRESTS* #33

[afitzy]

I don't like MT's choices, dis-like really is far from strong enough. Absolutely NOT defending her, but pondering:

Losing her twin? That's bound to have a serious impact on a person's psyche.

Do we know how old Michi & Michael were when he passed? What were the circumstances?

Is MT telling the world "That should have been me, therefor I am self-destructing. Please, somebody stop me & set my world right!"

Risky behavior? Downhill skiing, one night stands, traveling alone to Middle Eastern countries, known relationships with married men, lying to LE.

Does "help my current squeeze get rid of evidence" just fit into the pattern?

Again, no defense, just pondering

still pondering the sweater choice as well....

JMHO YMMV LRR

So interesting! The dots you connected certainly do indicate self sabotaging behaviours and possibly quite low self esteem as well.

When you look at the MT relationship history and job history, IMO MT seems aimless and absolutely lacking direction. MT trained for equine therapy but then dropped it and was focused on partying in Miami and a club event planner. She seems to lack focus or have much in the way of interests other than skiing. She seemed to hop from guy to guy and job to job and yet all of it seemed somewhat random and place holding.

We don't know if MT was with her twin when he died. We do know she went away when she was 15 to a special farm for troubled teens. We don't know the circumstances in her life that drove her parents to this choice for MT. Was she impacted by possible parents divorce, family issues, friend issues, drugs, self esteem issues, alcohol or self harm?

MOO

For some reason today I was thinking about MT role in the overall situation and her relationship with Fd. MT was a 44 yo woman, unmarried, one child and single parent who had a poor relationship history and no career who seemed content to randomly bounce around from job to job and relationship. At the time of JFd disappearance MT had been in CT probably a little over 2 years, the Dulos divorce was ongoing with no end in sight as no trial had been scheduled and MT was 44 years old and not getting any younger. Did she want another child and was committed to the Fd relationship or was she satisfied with being a mistress and working for FORE Group? What exactly was the relationship status with Fd? Was MT simply being used by Fd to torture and torment JFd and as such was disposable? We saw Fd say in the Dateline interview that he was 'enamoured' with MT? The word choice might not have been the best but to some this might imply infatuation rather than commitment to a relationship. But, IDK. We see in AW1 and AW2 that MT and Fd are together every step of the way from going to the ATM to get the cash for EE truck detailing to MT picking up FD and returning him to car wash. We also see FD and MT working as a very clear team to do whatever it was they were doing at 80MS IMO too?

But, is this who MT really is? How much involvement does she have in what happened to JFd?

I started a list of some of the 'knowns' and 'unknowns' so feel free to add/substract to the list to see if we can make progress even with very little information:


Fd and MT seemed inseparable in AW1 and 2 (Albany trip and Cleaning at 80Ms). Perhaps, Fd just doesn't like to be alone and just wants constant attention and companionship and MT was his covenant companion who did what she was told? With 5 young children there was no way JFd could do this and I very much wonder how much it bugged Fd?

Just putting the few known details about her for consideration:

MT:
-44/45 yo
-Bilingual - Spanish English - language at home believed to be Spanish
-Twin and her brother died (not sure we know when?)
-Possibly troubled childhood - time spent in NYS ranch for troubled kids - was it due to death of brother or drugs/alcohol or other issues?
-Parents divorced (we don't know when - Father believed to be in another relationship presently)
-College Psychology in Venezuela
-Training in MI for equine Therapy
-Work history spotty and uncommitted - no professional focus
-By all accounts simply likes to ride and ski with no other interests or focus on work
-marketing in Argentina for Begue ski resort, club promoter in Miami, equine therapy in Dubai, misc for FORE Group believed to be social media and web work
-one failed Long Term Relationship with child
-receiving child support from bio dad - will eventually end and MT has zero track record of being able to financially support herself
-marriage to motorbike racer ended due to her affair most likely with Fd
-affair with Fd started in 2015
-conducted affair in Miami and eventually moved in CT in 2016/2017
-worked for FORE Group (salary in range of $120,000/yr)
-not believed to own real estate in CT
-owns condo in Vail CO with Begue (interesting choice IMO as JFd had lived in Aspen and gone to Aspen for years)
-openly conducted affair in Farmington with Fd which couldn't have endeared her to locals
-her daughter attended same school attended by the Dulos children when her daughter first came to CT - We don't know if this was Fd or MT driven choice - but IMO there is a story here that could be telling.
-traveled extensively with Fd (Greece, Argentina, FL, Spain, Vail)
-her family seemed to 'embrace' the relationship with Fd - numerous trips to CT by all it seemed - Why? Daughter with troubled past, multiple failed relationships starts an affair with a married guy and is involved in complicated and acrimonious divorce - not sure what family would see this as a positive move for their daughter and might question moving from FL to CT to get involved
-MT and her daughter move into 4Jx when JFd and the 5 children depart
-daughter goes to school in CT at EW school as a daily student
-MT supposedly drives daughter to school and back daily and does not use the bus program
-MT to date has not been cooperative with LE (stated in AW1 and less clear statement in AW2, even after she admitted to lying for 2 months) - open issue I believe
-AW1 shows MT lying to LE for 2 months about basic details of 5/24 missing date
-AW1 shows MT in the Raptor on Albany Avenue with Fd disposing of items
-AW2 introduces the idea of the 'alibi scripts' - Unlikely IMO that 'innocent and uninvolved folks' need 'alibi scripts' and what I find fascinating is that Fd had MT write HER OWN 'alibi script'
-AW2 shows MT admitting to LE that she lied but she only seems to respond to questions if shown a picture or direct evidence
-AW2 shows MT assisting Fd with cleaning EE truck at 80 MS
-AW2 shows Fd tossing a contaminated rag that most likely had JFd blood on it to MT
-AW2 shows MT assisting Fd by going with him to ATM to pick up cash to pay for the EE truck detailing
-AW2 shows MT picking up and dropping off Fd at Car Wash for EE truck detailing
-AW2 shows MT playing 'hide the keys' with EE truck keys to keep him from taking truck for the weekend
-The DM photos of MT and Fd at 4Jx as they were being escorted to Litchfield show a MT seeming to 'take charge' with LE which I always found quite fascinating. Fd was more in the background and observing while MT made the rounds and was interacting with LE based on what we see. Was the MT role in the relationship to 'take care of Fd and things in their lives in general'?
-MT supposedly 'breaks up with Fd' in 11/2019 and removes her belongings from 4Jx

Questions:
When exactly did MT move to CT? 2016 or 2017?
Where did MT live when she came to CT? Was 585 Deercliff Property really developed for MT or was it part of a scheme to hide money from JFd? IMO something about that transaction really bugged JFD which was why her atty's went to the mat in Family Court fighting about it? Not sure we know exactly why though.
Did Fd really think that JFd would remain at 4Jx with the children and that MT would live at Deercliff and that he was surprised when JFd fled with the children?
Did MT contribute anything financially to relationship with 4Jx?
Did MT have 'assigned' house duties or any responsibilities in the relationship or did Fd hire people to clean and take care of the property?
Does MT have any 'voice' in the relationship with Fd or was her role simply as the classic passive mistress?
Did MT want more children and was pressuring FD to wrap up the divorce?
Was MT fed up with the divorce drama?
Did MT have any interest in step parenting 5 Dulos children?
Was MT just an accessory to FD and travel/living companion or was there something beyond this to the relationship?
What did MT think about JFd? Resentment, Anger, Indifference, Rage etc.
Did JFd make MT feel powerless and as if JFd controlled the MT/Fd relationship? Keep thinking about how mad FD must have been to give up access to his children due to the MT relationship. Did he do this for MT or did he do it to JFd to send the message that you can't control me/us MT/Fd?
We have the story from @thekirbyfamily from MT hairdresser about MT 'killing mice or bats (I don't recall which)' with pleasure which was deleted by Mod, but I thought it was significant.
-MT timeline on 5/24 and the space before and after this is largely undefined.
-Was MT job on 5/24 to simply watch Fd phone which was left at 4Jx or was she actually in NC on the missing date?
-Why does MT continue to not cooperate with LE? Or, is this false?


Other:
Fd seems to have worked hard based on what we see in AW2 IMO to directly implicate MT and ditto for EE. I would think MT would have had to be pretty stupid not to see this and I do wonder if she didn't see it or it wasn't an issue, simply because she was much more or equally involved at Fd.


MOO

Thanks afitzy.
You have put so much thought into this post, as you have for so many others.
Here, I wonder, if even MT knows her role, or is fully aware of her position now.
Guess with Bowman, and her parents etc, she is clearly aware of her situation, which perhaps previously, 'she was not'.
Was she just there, as needed FD for this comfortable, expensive lifestyle, following all his commands.
MOO.

Your question about 'MTs role' is so interesting as I continue to think about @CTGrammy comments previously too. I wonder if MT never really found a 'role' or a 'gear' for her life and so just wanders aimlessly bumping from random thing to random thing and one guy to the next. There is no 'role' and certainly no 'direction' to the process as she simply seems aimless and passive. MT seems to be about 'whatever works' rather than self directing towards a goal or a plan so far as we can see in the choices she has made in her life along with decision to stay with Fd. Even as I wrote that phrase, "decision to stay with Fd', I'm not certain MT ever really makes decisions, she just seems to float and amble along until something else catches her eye. What was it that caught the MT 'eye' in CT? Was she fooled by the Fd 'show' and the house, cars, travel and money? Did MT realise that the money Fd spent on her and her daughter wasn't his to share really? Did MT even care or was she just living for the day, the week or they year?

Seeing some of the life choices MT made during her time with Fd, it seems like its fair to question whether MT has any personal ethics or moral compass? The local papers say she and Fd "flaunted" their affair in the lead up to JFd leaving 4Jx. Did MT care about this and the impact on her daughter, JFd or the 5 Dulos children? Or is it this absence of a moral compass that made her attractive to Fd as she could be manipulated into doing whatever needed to be done? Does anything matter to MT or is she simply an empty vacuous person with no morals and no ethics who just lives for the next thrill? Does she care enough about herself and her daughter to question the decision to remain with Fd even when the divorce easily could have plodded on for another 2 years? Did MT even consider the impact on her daughter when she started an affair while both she and Fd were married?

I do wonder if it was this 'aimless' or 'undirected' aspect to who MT seems to be which was what perhaps made her attractive to Fd. Fd seems to want to direct and control all in his orbit and no doubt JFd had had enough of this 'direction' and 'control' from Fd to last her a very long time. MT perhaps welcomed the direction and control of Fd because she had zero inner direction and so was 'ripe' for a character that would take over.

At what point might someone who just seems to slide through life in an aimless fashion all the sudden wake up and perhaps get angry at the way she was being led on and used by Fd? Or, didn't MT care as she had free room and board, car to use and tuition paid for possibly by Fd for her daughter and ongoing travel and good times? At any point in her time with Fd did it even register that JFd and the 5 Dulos children existed and that the behaviour of MT and her daughter did impact them all? Does MT feel responsibility to herself for anything or is it all about the momentary thrill, access to easy cash and a no rent lifestyle that comes with being a mistress?

MT played a role in the disappearance and most likely murder of JFd as explained in AW1 and 2. I just wonder what if anything about what she did or didn't do might have registered with MT as being 'right' or 'wrong'. The more time I spend thinking about the choices of MT and Fd that we know about, I'm not at all convinced that "right" and "wrong" fit anywhere into anything they do ever as they seem to both be more about "whatever works" and "whatever we can get away with".

IDK, still moving the puzzle pieces around on the table....lots of possibilities and alternatives...

MOO

MOO.

Culturally, emotionally, and intellectually, I think MT would be much more compliant to FD's demands than many other women with different life experiences.
Obviously, at least her mother, doesn't value the truth and acceptance of personal responsibility as demonstrated in her response to Medicaid charges.
MT was comfortable applying for and working in a very sexist Middle Eastern country. The South American countries in which she was raised tend to be quite patriarchal. IMO, women survive in these countries by outwardly agreeing to go along with the men, but many are very good at achieving their own desired outcome through subterfuge.

MOO...IMO

 

[afitzy]

I do wonder to what extent MT would go to 'protect' her newfound lifestyle with Fd?

Its hard to know the answer until the decision is there to be faced.

We know that the Fd financial disclosure was coming to a 'head' in Family Court as his games and financial sorcery had been ongoing since the inception of the divorce by all accounts.

It appears that the hearing in Family Court that was to occur the week after Memorial Day was going to be pivotal in the financial issues for Fd.

JFd and her atty's were pulling no punches on the issue of financial disclosure.

I am not convinced that Fd cared much about what JFd thought about his financial games and alchemy as she no doubt already knew the worst of it and was simply waiting for it to play out in court.

BUT, I do wonder if Fd had managed to successfully SNOW/BAMBOOZLE the less than alert or aware MT on all things financial and PERHAPS he might have been more concerned about the MT reaction to finding out he really had very little that wasn't owned by JFd.

Could it have been this 'unmasking' of Fd as a fraud to MT and her daughter that perhaps propelled the rage of Fd into unspeakable acts? Fd had already been unmasked by JFd and her atty's and PIs and JFd knew Fd for what he was and so there wasn't any mystery left for her IMO. But MT? I'm not so sure she really knew that Fd had been living the high life on the Farber Family wealth?

I do wonder if MT would have left earlier if she knew Fd were a fraud and really nothing more than a gigolo, albeit one with a solid education?

Oddly we see MT stay around long enough to be arrested on 6/2. Not only that we see in AW1 her along on the Albany Ave trip and in AW2 she is front and centre at 80MS on 'project clean up' and 'EE truck clean up' and by going the extra step to play 'hide the keys' with EE to me it showed absolute knowledge of what was going on and what was expected of her by Fd. Fd effectively spent nearly 4 years with MT training her precisely to be the perfect mistress and co-conspirator IMO. By the time the two of them got to the point of both being at 80MS doing the clean up, it becomes impossible to tell Fd and MT apart; they are both simply the same.

I still wonder why MT simply didn't leave earlier when the leaving was possible?

There are no doubt multiple possible reasons for staying IMO. The only compelling one in my mind is that MT stayed because she believed the financial compensation for her staying was worth whatever risks she took in the plan that she/Fd concocted "to make their dreams come true and live happily ever after"!

MOO

A tiger doesn’t change his stripes. Doubt Fulos all the sudden became capable of a real relationship based on mutual respect (or just a modicum of respect), genuine love, emotional intimacy, etc. It was still all about getting that narc supply. Highly unlikely he treated her with much decency given his obvious MO. As @afitzy described, she was likely less than alert/less than aware of a lot of things, including all of this. MOO

I keep coming back to Memorial Day. Not only were the financial issues going to change in family court after the holiday, but the weekend had a big change too. It was FDs first weekend to have the kids.
MT and her daughter could not be at Jxing. Seems like a little thing, but not to someone who think as and acts as MT does.

I posted the comments below on 9/11. I’m still standing behind my thoughts about MT:

Both MT AND FD were ONLY charged with evidence tampering. I am not aware of any evidence which directly supports your assertion that MT was not an accomplice in the murder.


I’ve long been an advocate of using a “follow the money” type approach in solving this crime. I feel the Why? of the murder is worthy of some deeper discussion that might get us thinking outside the box and stir up some creative new suggestions to fill in the still missing Wheres, Whats, Whens, and Hows.


So, Why was JD murdered?

IMO, in a general sense, the answer lies in what was the gain.

Obviously the hotly contested 2+yr divorce is the glaring red flag. Getting rid of JD ends the divorce litigation. (And maybe, just maybe, ends the money battle with GF if the grief stricken, grandchild protecting, grandma withdraws.) Perhaps to FD, in the simplest view, kind of a best case scenario, ending the divorce, with mother gone, results in custody of the children, access to their trust funds, and full ownership of all of his and JDs assets. The money looks better to FD and his atty fees end too! Looks perfect, right? IIRC, as FD said in his latest interview , his life was “beautiful”, except for the divorce. He wanted it over. But here’s the stickler, can any sense be made out of potentially gaining a murder charge to get out of a divorce???


Yes, I know, it happens all the time-and in this past year, probably more horrifically than ever imagined, but the rage and spontaneity seen in those crimes is missing in this case.

The use of the Tacoma and the plates clearly point a premeditated murder, not one caused by a sudden explosion of anger. The limited public information available shows some of FDs movements during the last week of JDs life: smoozing KM’s STBX, dining &/or playing basketball w his kids, and hosting a dinner party. And supposedly at the same time planning JDs murder. The equation is simply not adding up. What’s missing? Where is the rage or anger needed to override the rational of not trading a divorce action for a murder charge?


For arguments sake, perhaps we are missing information that does show some rage. Were JD and FD arguing in person, on phone, via text or email? No-have not heard or seen one shrewd of evidence supporting any of these.

Did FD as JD to meet to talk and the meeting turned violent? No- then he wouldn’t have needed the Tacoma or plates.

Was the other person seemingly involved with the murder, as supported by evidence, harboring any anger or rage?

Maybe. IMO a little attention needs to be directed on MT to find the missing piece of the equation.


MT:admittedly at the car wash, claiming ignorance of what she is doing but running to her attorney afterwards.

MT: the pillow-talk-mate of the frustrated sad FD who wants nothing more than to continue his “beautiful” life and be divorced.

MT: the single mom whose child support would end in 5-6yrs. (Follow the money)

MT: the adulteress who moved her child out of state, away from her family and home, to supposedly move into a temporary house provided by her rich sugar daddy.

MT: the international mover and shaker who had put all her eggs in FDs and FOREs basket, who was watching her job and income disappear as FORE collapsed.

MT: after finally gaining access to the castle, watching as her paramour’s STBX MIL paid for their mortgage.

MT: hooked to a guy who was wrapped in litigation and couldn’t sell a house to save his life.

MT: who was denied access to her lover’s children by the court, about to face another holiday weekend of turmoil. She had to be mad as a wet hen after the judge finally gave FD Memorial Day weekend. Where was MT supposed to go for the weekend??


Now there’s a little rage.

Maybe a closer look at MT will help answer “how FD pulled off the murder” and why.

Good thoughts @Chicago54....MT is an unknown factor.

The BBM section is, I'm sure, a factor in the whole scenario. MT was probably incredibly angry that the court was not recognizing her "true position" in FD's life and the lives of the children. She and her daughter were to be exiled from 4 JX for a holiday weekend just before the conclusion of NB's school year. The end of 8th grade, I believe, a very important year...parties, finals, promotion activities, sports activities. This was also a time close to daughter's departure for SA to be with her father. MT WOULD NOT have been happy.

FD and perhaps MT were not going to be caught in their opinion. If it hadn't been for the Albany Avenue mess, FD might have been in the clear. MT had had enough of being the evil woman in FD's life, IMO.

How much was she involved? I don't know. However, if she was in NY investigating the trust fund parameters, she may have very serious legal issues. I am sure that she was aware that FD was in financial trouble. Did she collaborate on the non-payment of the funds due the HF trust? Was she complicit he deceiving the court about FD's financial statements?

The other thing that has remained unclear is the picnic/barbeque on Welles on May 23rd. Was JFD there at any time during that evening? Did she and FD have a disagreement about the weekend plans? Was FD in the house? Were utensils and plates from in the house used outside that evening? Who cleaned up the area, if FD didn't go into the house? Would like to know more details about that evening, for sure.

Yes, I know, it happens all the time-and in this past year, probably more horrifically than ever imagined, but the rage and spontaneity seen in those crimes is missing in this case.

The use of the Tacoma and the plates clearly point a premeditated murder, not one caused by a sudden explosion of anger. The limited public information available shows some of FDs movements during the last week of JDs life: smoozing KM’s STBX, dining &/or playing basketball w his kids, and hosting a dinner party. And supposedly at the same time planning JDs murder. The equation is simply not adding up. What’s missing? Where is the rage or anger needed to override the rational of not trading a divorce action for a murder charge?


For arguments sake, perhaps we are missing information that does show some rage. Were JD and FD arguing in person, on phone, via text or email? No-have not heard or seen one shrewd of evidence supporting any of these.

Did FD as JD to meet to talk and the meeting turned violent? No- then he wouldn’t have needed the Tacoma or plates.

Was the other person seemingly involved with the murder, as supported by evidence, harboring any anger or rage?

Maybe. IMO a little attention needs to be directed on MT to find the missing piece of the equation.


MT:admittedly at the car wash, claiming ignorance of what she is doing but running to her attorney afterwards.

MT: the pillow-talk-mate of the frustrated sad FD who wants nothing more than to continue his “beautiful” life and be divorced.

MT: the single mom whose child support would end in 5-6yrs. (Follow the money)

MT: the adulteress who moved her child out of state, away from her family and home, to supposedly move into a temporary house provided by her rich sugar daddy.

MT: the international mover and shaker who had put all her eggs in FDs and FOREs basket, who was watching her job and income disappear as FORE collapsed.

MT: after finally gaining access to the castle, watching as her paramour’s STBX MIL paid for their mortgage.

MT: hooked to a guy who was wrapped in litigation and couldn’t sell a house to save his life.

MT: who was denied access to her lover’s children by the court, about to face another holiday weekend of turmoil. She had to be mad as a wet hen after the judge finally gave FD Memorial Day weekend. Where was MT supposed to go for the weekend??

Now there’s a little rage.

Maybe a closer look at MT will help answer “how FD pulled off the murder” and why.

Premeditated murder plot cooked up by Fd and MT absolutely seems probable IMO and also IMO most likely scenario.

Fd seemed to make sure that MT was equally culpable IMO as we saw her admit to writing down her own 'alibi script' and him keeping her close at 80MS and with the EE truck clean up at the car wash and ATM etc.

The scenario for the MT 'rage' and 'anger' for the Memorial Day weekend certainly seems possible.

I do think that there was enough anger and rage between MT and Fd regarding the divorce and how it might be stopping them from getting on with their lives or even having children to easily fuel a murder plot.

Premediation IMO runs all through AW1 and AW2. The timing of the Jd missing event seemed choreographed perfectly to coincide with the holiday weekend, pickup of the 5 children and to happen in advance of Family Court hearing IMO.

Fd in his interviews has gone to great lengths IMO to make it appear that he and Jd were moving on and their relationship was again cordial etc. I do believe it's possible that Fd is selling this particular narrative so hard over multiple interviews because it seeks to overturn the reality of what the Family Court records show IMO and what eventual eyewitness testimony from MT will indicate was happening at the time. Jd isn't here to tell the other side of the story unfortunately. But this Fd narrative simply hasn't made sense from what we do know and because it simply seems implausible that each time it is brought up it just seems to not make sense.

We see Fd saying over and over in the various interviews that he just wanted to get on with his life with MT and YET we see zero evidence of this in Family Court at all and we see zero evidence in his business life either as his business essentially ended in 2017.

In fact, it's actually the opposite scenario that seems more likely IMO in that JFd and her atty had Fd on the absolute defensive, his business was dead, he had no income and MT wanted the divorce to end so they could move on with their lives. Seems like Fd had a lot to hide from MT IMO. The irony of all of the Fd lying was that even if he wanted to have custody there was no way in the world he could afford to do it himself as he had no income and no house.

The idea that Fd ceased operating FORE (or at least building more houses) to create a scenario where he had no viable income and no financial future to me is possibly Exhibit A that he didn't care much about himself, MT or her daughter or taking on custody and care of his 5 children. I also wonder if this all isn't evidence of the fact that he didn't plan a future in CT? I do very much wonder if the Fd plan wasn't to pick the children up for the Memorial Day weekend, leave for Greece and ditch MT and her daughter entirely? Or, if she was to be kept then perhaps she and her daughter would follow later? If Fd and MT had managed to get the 5 children to Greece, then its unlikely that GF could have gotten them returned to the US. If this were true scenario then it makes even more sense why GF hired bodyguards to keep Fd and MT from accessing the 5 Dulos children.

Also, why else would Fd steal the infamous psych report and then make absolutely unsubstantiated claims that it 'was in his favor' and that the case was moving his way? Fd seemed desperate to latch on to anything in order to claim that he was 'winning'. I am not convinced that Fd cared much to prove he was winning to JFd but I do wonder if he was desperate to prove to MT that he was fighting and winning in Family Court so they could have a future together? IDK, it seems likely that Fd was lying to MT about what was going in Family Court and perhaps he was even lying to himself about what was going on too? Maybe Fd was desperate to convince MT that he was getting closer to 'winning' against JFd in the divorce case and so it might be possible to soon get on with their lives and have a good chunk of the Farber money as well?!?

I'm not so sure that Fd didn't hide the financial mess from MT as it makes sense on a certain level that he created an entire BS story about his wealth and then proceeded to live the lifestyle associated with that image with MT and her daughter for over 4 years.

If Fd was happy in the relationship with MT then he might have been concerned with what she might do if he were totally unmasked as fraud and gigolo who had been living on the Farber money for years.

From the perspective of MT, can you imagine finding out that you had been bamboozled by a guy for 4 years and that he didn't have a pot to piss in that didn't belong to the Farbers, including the house you had been living in rent free for 4 years because he stopping paying the mortgage and PS the guy was a total jerk too who didn't even pay any child support for his 5 children? Bit of a wake up call to say the least with a good bit of rage thrown in too, especially if you were a person that might want another child. It just seems like perhaps the MT 'dream' of a life with Fd was going up in smoke?

The issue of MT being sent into NY to get info on Farber wills and trusts etc. indicates a good bit of knowledge on the part of MT regarding the overall situation/big picture. Prior to learning this fact in the deposition I had thought that Fd might have kept MT in the dark, but this mission of MT's proved she was in the know about the Farber wealth. I do think that Fd lied to MT about many things, including his wealth (or lack thereof) but she did seem to be quite involved with the process of getting info on the Farbers.

Fd could have created a narrative for MT regarding the divorce, its outcome and his financial situation that was absolutely false and he was desperately scrambling around the time of Memorial Day to figure out how to stop the entire house of cards from collapsing around him.

As the Fd situation had been brewing for awhile and the lies no doubt shared with MT had been piling up, Fd had time to put a plan in place. What I find interesting is how he seemed to bring MT into the plan while at the same time most likely lying to her about what was happening in Family Court and his financial situation too.

I do wonder how many people that commit murder ever expect to be caught? The premeditated plan showed IMO a lack of attention to key details that will most likely result in long prison sentences for both Fd and MT.

MOO

I agree with exactly what you’ve said here. It is baffling, given the entirety of the set of circumstances, how FD thinks he can get away with murder. I think it’s an extremely high percentage of murderers who think they’ve come up with THE most foolproof method of hiding their crime. They do seem somewhat oblivious to the obvious. People will notice that the victim is missing and how quickly they will notify police, the husband is highly likely involved, especially if there is a contentious divorce and the STBX has been accused of sick revenge fantasies, the husband has been previously accused of lying under oath to a judge and manipulating his children. The cards seem well stacked against him. If this guy was innocent of the criminal charges against him, I would be shocked.

I am just flabbergasted by the amount of circumstantial and actual evidence in this case and still no arrest for murder. But yes, the final result here is most certainly some length of prison time. What that will be is yet to be seen.

Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!
Just after I have read what I think is my favorite post by you, you post another.

Rage. Memorial Day kid attended weekend. Financial ruin. Big tumbling balls of lies, keeping stories straights, deceptions between each other, robbing Peter to pay Paul, court documents, judges, loans, liens, bills...can you imagine the whirling dervish of a tornado swirling around and choking these two???
What’s crazy to me is the only solution they could figure out was to perform an act that had great potential to bring them more ruin-At least enough ruin in the interim, to destroy long range plans, even if they did get away with it.
But they won’t get away with it. As you note, as more time passed, and more interviews were given, more squirrel head tirades spewed, more ridiculous laughable theories about an abused dead victim told, more ghastly cold hearted unemotional “fathering” and “ mothering” observed, the more obvious it becomes it is all lies, posturing and hooey. All of it. Their lives are complete lies.

I think 3 mistakes will bring these 2 down. The trash run, the truck seat fiasco and underestimating GFs ability to overcome her grief and age. (That woman deserves a medal)

All I want for Christmas is AW3.

Gag Order in Dulos Case Is Hypocritical Disservice | Connecticut Law Tribune

This article fails to mention what FD and NP HAVE said to the media about his missing wife.
Who wrote this? I'd like to know.
Any lawyers on here -- does this article carry any merit?
In my opinion, it is a "hypocritical disservice" for FD to claim he loves his children after murdering their mother.

 

[BellaVita]

I don't like MT's choices, dis-like really is far from strong enough. Absolutely NOT defending her, but pondering:

Losing her twin? That's bound to have a serious impact on a person's psyche.

Do we know how old Michi & Michael were when he passed? What were the circumstances?

Is MT telling the world "That should have been me, therefor I am self-destructing. Please, somebody stop me & set my world right!"

Risky behavior? Downhill skiing, one night stands, traveling alone to Middle Eastern countries, known relationships with married men, lying to LE.

RSBM: You may have something there. Especially if the death happened at a young age. I can tell you from experience, when you see a sibling die young, some people may feel that the world is shifting sand and that your own life could end at any time. Therefore, you end up doing things without considering consequences. Because, there might not even be a tomorrow. So you end up just living in the moment. It's a self destructive way of staring down death. IMO.

 

[kimch33kim]

The only thing I disagree with is that "one night stands" story. She was known to be baby daddy's wife in their country. Not a ONS-er.

 

[Sherlockhemlock]

FD admires NP.
When I look at FD's face, as he watches NP, he is so pleased with the work NP is doing.
Surely, FD realizes this team, is a 'waste time' as they plod, from one problem to the next, drowning further at each step.
Now, what will occur will be most interesting.
MOO.

He admires him NOW. Once FD is convicted, first thing he will do is appeal claiming incompetence of counsel. Jmo

Attorney: CT jury selection process eliminates need for gag order in Jennifer Dulos case
Prior to the explosion of social media, defense attorneys rarely spoke publicly about cases, defense attorney Matthew Maddox said.
“Twenty years ago, it was almost unheard of for a defense attorney to speak,” said Maddox, who is not involved in the Dulos case. “The response used to be, ‘you’ll see what happens during the trial.’”
We live in a different time now, Maddox said.
“It’s not just social media,” he said. “We’re in the post O.J. Simpson era. The O.J. Simpson case broke open and created a completely different genre of interest in the law and criminal trials.”

The media is more likely to heavily cover trials and can tie them to advertising since the public is interested, Maddox said.


With that, however, comes the risk of tainting the jury pool — but not always in the way most people would think, he said.

“It’s not essential that a defense attorney be heard or that any allegations that are reported in the media need to be addressed,” Maddox said.

It is a defense strategy to head allegations off before they become enmeshed in the public view of a defendant or an incident, Maddox said. But it can backfire, he said.

“You are potentially tainting the jury pool against you and your client,” Maddox said. “They could decide they don’t like you. It’s a double-edged sword.”

Good thoughts @Chicago54....MT is an unknown factor.

The BBM section is, I'm sure, a factor in the whole scenario. MT was probably incredibly angry that the court was not recognizing her "true position" in FD's life and the lives of the children. She and her daughter were to be exiled from 4 JX for a holiday weekend just before the conclusion of NB's school year. The end of 8th grade, I believe, a very important year...parties, finals, promotion activities, sports activities. This was also a time close to daughter's departure for SA to be with her father. MT WOULD NOT have been happy.

FD and perhaps MT were not going to be caught in their opinion. If it hadn't been for the Albany Avenue mess, FD might have been in the clear. MT had had enough of being the evil woman in FD's life, IMO.

How much was she involved? I don't know. However, if she was in NY investigating the trust fund parameters, she may have very serious legal issues. I am sure that she was aware that FD was in financial trouble. Did she collaborate on the non-payment of the funds due the HF trust? Was she complicit he deceiving the court about FD's financial statements?

The other thing that has remained unclear is the picnic/barbeque on Welles on May 23rd. Was JFD there at any time during that evening? Did she and FD have a disagreement about the weekend plans? Was FD in the house? Were utensils and plates from in the house used outside that evening? Who cleaned up the area, if FD didn't go into the house? Would like to know more details about that evening, for sure.

If MT truly did go and attempt to poke her nose into the private family business to see if she could find out what the elements of the trust were, then to me, that’s another layer of guilt in Jennifer’s death. That she was “all in”. That would not be the action of a person who is merely personally, intimately involved with a man who wants a divorce from his wife. The trust(s), by anyone’s standards, would be considered to be none of her business-even if they were planning to stay together long-term. For her to have allegedly gone and pooched around looking at the trust documents really looks like motive to me. IMO

I suspect ven more so for a twin. They often think in terms of us vs I. There is a special intimacy. So she may still be looking to become “whole”. Perfect match for a narcissist. IMO
