00:03:29
grab grab a beer let's talk some true [Music] crime July 2017 during court proceedings
00:04:23
48-year-old Jennifer doues requested an emergency custody order begging the court for sole custody of her five
00:04:33
children a portion of the request reads as follows quote I'm afraid of my husband I know that filing for divorce
00:04:42
and filing this motion will enrage him I know he will retaliate by trying to harm
00:04:49
me in some way he has the attitude that he must always win at all costs he is dangerous and
00:05:00
ruthless when he believes that he has been wronged during the course of our marriage he told me about sickening
00:05:07
Revenge fantasies and plans to cause physical harm to others who have wronged him for example flying a plane over an
00:05:17
ex- client's home and dropping a brick on his house I fear for my family safety and I
00:05:26
believe him to be highly capable and vengeful enough enough to take the children and
00:05:32
disappear Jennifer's husband 49-year-old fotus duus denied all Jennifer's assertions and responded that Jennifer
00:05:41
was unstable and unfit to parent their children he said that she took the children from him without warning Judge
00:05:51
Thomas colen denied the emergency custody order instead putting in place a plan of custody whereby the parent would
00:05:59
share legal custody while the divorce was settled judge Colin wrote it is clear that in the weeks immediately preceding
00:06:08
the filing of this action the atmosphere in the party's home deteriorated the plaintiff was upset over the breakdown
00:06:16
of the marriage and what she perceived to be the defendant's controlling and aggressive behavior the defendant became
00:06:24
upset because he felt that he could no longer control the situation and unilaterally dictate the
00:06:31
outcome arguments followed including in the presence of the children things were said in Anger
00:06:39
however the court is hopeful that once things settle down and cooler heads prevail these extremely well-educated
00:06:47
and accomplished parents will be able to reach an agreement on a mutually acceptable parenting plan with the
00:06:56
assistance of their experienced and talented Council but as we shall soon see cooler heads
00:07:03
did not Prevail less than 2 years later on May 24th 2019 at 6:59 p.m. the new Kanan
00:07:12
Connecticut Police Department received a report of a missing woman her name Jennifer doues this report was filed by
00:07:21
phone by a laurel Watts this is true crime garage and this is the case of Jennifer
00:07:29
[Music] [Music] douis bodus duus grew up in Greece part of a large traditional Greek family he
00:07:58
excelled in both both snow skiing and water skiing fotus attended Brown University graduating in 1989 with
00:08:06
degrees in economics and Applied Mathematics after fotus worked for some bigname firms such as Ernst and Young
00:08:14
doing management consulting he got his master's degree in finance from Columbia University this in
00:08:21
1997 he married his first wife in 2000 but then he met Jennifer Farber in the Aspen airp report Jennifer was the
00:08:30
beautiful and privileged daughter of Hillyard and Gloria Farber because of hillyard's successes this was an
00:08:37
extremely wealthy family Jennifer had also attended Brown when fotus was there but they didn't know each other back
00:08:45
then Jennifer 2 got her Master's Degree this was in writing from nyu's Tish School for the Arts she was a very busy
00:08:55
writer we are talking journalism essays plays and screenplays and even a novel she loved reading and traveling it's not
00:09:04
clear when exactly Jennifer and fotus started seeing each other but it is clear that it was when fotus was still
00:09:12
married he divorced in July of 2004 and Jennifer and fotus were married within months they lived in the Farmington
00:09:22
Valley area in Connecticut where fotus started up his own company the four group a prominent residential Builder
00:09:31
constructing custom luxury homes in the wealthy Farmington Valley and Fairfield County areas of Connecticut fotus his Mo
00:09:40
was to build a mansion or even a small development and move his family into the new home until it sold Jennifer and
00:09:48
fotus had two sets of twins and a baby girl in quick succession yeah they had a total of three boys and two girls the
00:09:56
family was very busy with multiple Nan he's employed at once people were coming and going from their homes constantly
00:10:05
this because fotus ran his business out of his home whichever house he was living in at the time right now before
00:10:12
we get too far along one thing I really want to point out here I want to point this out now because later in this case
00:10:18
there will be a lot of moving pieces so please just note that fotus runs his business out of his home so when we say
00:10:27
the office or his house either way it's the same location this did not always go over
00:10:35
well with the neighbors because imagine this you're living in this very wealthy upscale area and this guy's got trucks
00:10:44
and Men coming and going constantly in what's supposed to be this quiet residential area but also not to mention
00:10:51
that he is of a different ethnicity so sometimes that doesn't play too well in these areas one neighbor on
00:11:00
the four group built cesac of four homes this in an area called Avon called the police on fotus numerous times for
00:11:09
things like residential zoning violations and noise violations this former neighbor recounted to us that
00:11:17
fotus was enraged by this and confronted her on the street on a number of occasions on one occasion threatening
00:11:26
her in her own driveway despite this fotus was generally considered to be charming and charismatic by most however
00:11:35
you can see by this Behavior he was a hothead right he insisted on getting his way he was in my opinion controlling and
00:11:44
arrogant as well also seems like he was such a a bully towards women at some point the family moved to Farmington the
00:11:53
address was for Jefferson Crossing this was in fact constructed by fotus company
00:11:59
this is a massive Brick Mansion with six bedrooms and a 13,000 ft of living space
00:12:06
wow yeah this area you could play baseball in this house you could put 20 of my houses in that house this area of
00:12:13
the Farmington Hills is very upscale fotus was developing a number of properties in this very immediate area
00:12:22
now it's not clear exactly when the marriage started to go south there was some good some bad as there is with most
00:12:31
marriages it is said by friends of Jennifer that she at some point was suspicious she suspected fotus had a
00:12:39
Wandering eye he was wait wait wait so put that eye on a leash so she met him while while he was married they had a
00:12:52
affair that obviously she knew about and now she's questioning his wondering eye
00:12:58
so when the Wonder and I works out in your favor it's okay but now it's not okay you know I I always immediately
00:13:05
think of that as well but then I try to like put myself in the position of somebody that finds himself in a
00:13:13
relationship like this MH and then I start to wonder I'm like I I think what the way this goes down Captain is that a
00:13:20
lot of times when you are the one being pursued or you're starting up this new relationship with this married man or
00:13:26
married woman I think you make a lot of assumptions or at least believe the other person that the marriage that
00:13:32
they're in is just horrible like it's a it's a nightmare it's already over we're
00:13:35
living Separate Lives it's just a matter of signing some papers well that's what
00:13:39
they can make you think right right and then you get involved in this and you think well we're truly in love he
00:13:45
wouldn't do that to me or she wouldn't do that to me we have a great relationship we have five children and
00:13:51
we live in a big beautiful Brick Mansion that we play baseball in and I'm not saying this happened for for certain cuz
00:13:58
there there's no evidence of that but I've sometimes met couples where instantly I'm going this guy seems a
00:14:06
little controlling of his wife and they normally have a lot of children it's almost like they put that into play as a
00:14:17
way to control their SP home yeah well and as you said you get the vibe that he's a bit of a bully towards women
00:14:24
there's there one way to bully a woman is in treat her is to go outside of the marriage MH and the these two are both
00:14:35
attractive well educated people the other issue and I think where her suspicions come into play is he's gone a
00:14:43
lot he's away from the home a lot he's at water ski competitions that he participated in these are in other
00:14:49
states sometimes in other countries he's out skiing in Aspen or visiting Greece cuz he has extended family there then in
00:14:57
the early 20 2017 they decided to sell the home they listed the house and enrolled the kids
00:15:05
in the new Canan country school but all of this blew up when Jennifer discovered
00:15:12
in March of 2017 that fotus was in fact having an affair this you know enter Michelle tronis was she a ski instructor
00:15:22
she was I believe down in Argentina so was just I was just making a joke but she was involved in skiing in some form
00:15:32
right now things deteriorated fast once this took place on June 3rd 2017 Lauren aldia who by this point has been
00:15:42
employed by the dueles for over four years now as one of their nannies she says that she witnessed the following
00:15:50
she heard yelling and thuing footsteps as Jennifer ran through the home being chased by a clearly angry photus
00:15:59
Jennifer ran into the master bedroom and slammed the door behind her Lauren and one of the children were already in this
00:16:06
room so they're in the room with her as well and she says she could hear fotus pounding on the door in Rage Jennifer
00:16:14
braced her back against the locked door and fotus finally walked away realizing you know probably realizing that one of
00:16:21
his kids and the nanny were in this room as well and had witnessed the whole thing right shaking
00:16:29
in fear Jennifer told Lauren that she was very afraid of her husband and that he had threatened to take all five of
00:16:36
their kids away from her and moved to Greece now Lauren soon after observed another incident where she found
00:16:44
Jennifer crying in the driveway she told Lauren that fotus had tried to run her down with his vehicle and she had to
00:16:54
jump out of the way of his car as he drove off in in another fit of rage yeah but to be fair a lot of times if your
00:17:03
friend's going through a divorce you only kind of hear one side of whatever is happening and especially if you've been
00:17:12
friends with that couple for a long time sometimes you have to you know take that
00:17:18
story with a little bit of a grain of salt and say is this actually happening is he being as threatening as she claims
00:17:27
or or is this um just to get me on her side well it could be to get her on her side the the
00:17:34
only the only issue I take with that is we one of these things events she witnessed herself right right she was
00:17:42
present there and probably afraid as well and she's look I'm sure that they had some
00:17:47
kind of friendly relationship but at the end of the day she's the nanny she works
00:17:51
for both of them right um you know all these things Devil's Advocate there these things are all adding up of course
00:18:00
and eventually Jennifer is going to have enough of this Behavior she packs up her
00:18:04
things and left taking the five children with her now at this time the five children they range in age from 8 to
00:18:13
13 she's away with the kids and she's going to really upset fotus further because not only did she take the
00:18:21
children but she's refusing to respond to his calls and to his text right now at this point in her life is she a Avid
00:18:32
writer no I think the the writing slowed down significantly once she started having children right because sometimes
00:18:42
as this divorce happens you'll see um the one of the parents used the children as leverage go away not respond and then
00:18:54
sometimes the other spouse uses money as leverage but she comes from money so I'm
00:19:00
just pointing out that she has a lot more options than the average mother with five kids would have oh yes you're
00:19:08
you're spot on man she comes not only does she come from money she comes from wealth right her her family is extremely
00:19:16
wealthy and she wasn't like snobby about it or weird about it or anything like that she was from all accounts I could
00:19:22
find she's pretty down toe I think the major concern here and we've seen this unfortunately too many times where
00:19:33
someone has easy access to live in another country right takes the children and goes to that other country and then
00:19:41
we have a hard time getting those kids back for the parent that that is stuck here well and in this scenario we've
00:19:48
seen it through the throughout the time of doing the show and and learning a lot
00:19:53
about abusive situations and here Jennifer is in this abusive situation ation and a lot of times these women
00:20:00
that that have the five kids that have no money that have no means because they're staying at home and doing this
00:20:09
huge job of raising the kids that the spouse then like I said controls that money and uh these women in abusive
00:20:16
situations have a really hard time of just it's not as easy as just packing up everything and getting out of there so
00:20:23
the fact that she has these resources is really good yeah and I think the threat
00:20:28
of what she is afraid of is very real here we have a guy that could very easily just take the children he says
00:20:35
he's taking them to McDonald's one afternoon and next thing you know they're on a plane to Greece and he's
00:20:40
shacking up with family there and she has lost her children right so she's not responding to his phone calls or to his
00:20:48
text I think it's out of fear that he's going to take the children not so much that she's trying to hold them or dangle
00:20:56
them over his head like some kind kind of carrot here uh he gets upset he calls the police this is on June 19th to
00:21:04
report his children as missing saying quote I'm worried about my wife and kids because they left to go to New York and
00:21:11
I haven't been able to get in touch with them I've been texting and I see that the texts are being delivered but no one
00:21:17
is responding to me end quote police found the children I'd also really like to read what those texts are cuz I'm
00:21:25
sure they're not just hey are you okay please let me know you're okay I'm sure those texts were verly abusive well the
00:21:35
the police's statement is that they did find the children and they found them quote safe and secure with their mother
00:21:42
now Jennifer moved into 69 Wells Lane in new Kanan uh this is a very exclusive town of less than 20,000 people a suburb
00:21:53
of New York City this house I mean it sounds like you know I hate to keep kind of running around
00:22:00
this here that she comes from wealth and has plenty of money most people in this
00:22:05
situation would find them themselves you know Dire Straits we don't have much money we're going to have to go live
00:22:11
someplace else on an emergency situation the house that she's renting is a 9,800 square ft home that
00:22:22
that the Zillow website estimates its value at $3.5 million well you can't go from 13 ,000 to
00:22:30
1,200 13,000 to 9,000 it's also closer to her mother to Jennifer's mother who is quite helpful with the children and
00:22:39
and with Jennifer now she Jennifer filed for divorce on June 20th 2017 and from the get-go the proceedings were
00:22:48
contentious the two parties have filed nearly 500 motions between them in her court filings Jennifer claimed that
00:22:56
fotus quote EX exhibited irrational unsafe bullying threatening and controlling Behavior end quote heck you
00:23:04
heard the statement in the trailer of his violent fantasies of revenge against people who have wronged him or or
00:23:13
threatening to take the kids and go to Greece yeah she also said that fotus made a specific threat to kidnap the
00:23:19
children and take them to Greece or another country and quote you will never find us is what she says he said if if
00:23:27
she did not agree to his terms in the divorce he's trying to control this whole divorce thing Jennifer emphasized
00:23:35
that fotus scary Behavior had significantly intensified as the proceedings went along and states that
00:23:42
she was now afraid for her safety the judge required the doues to refrain from any
00:23:50
travel keep the kids away from any romantic partners that they may have and to work to establish a mutually
00:23:57
agreeable custodial plan fotus was losing it with this situation this situation is beyond his control he
00:24:08
reasserted his claims that Jennifer was an unfit mother and that she was a Pill Popper this in all in the court
00:24:18
filings we spoke with one of Jennifer's friends who saw photus at an Avon uh Connecticut restaurant some time after
00:24:28
Jennifer left the home fotus insisted on telling her over and over again that his
00:24:34
wife was crazy and that she was a Pill Popper and to be brutally honest here Captain I'm kind of dumbing that down a
00:24:44
little bit it it was it went on and on and on with this guy trying to convince this person that Jennifer was just some
00:24:52
crazy pill popping unfit mother yeah I mean you he's trying to say hey she's crazy for
00:25:00
wanting to divorce me even though I'm cheating on her well he's one hell of a skier yeah so we already named the woman
00:25:09
that fotus was having an affair with Michelle possibly could have been more well a little background here I mean it
00:25:17
appears that their relationship was pretty tight Michelle was seven years younger than fotus she worked at for
00:25:24
group with him at some point she was from V Venezuela went to college in Argentina and had been a TV host and
00:25:32
producer for a ski show on ESPN on the ESPN network in Argentina of course Michelle moved in
00:25:40
with fotus and she was a mother to a pre-teen daughter who lived with the both of them now Jennifer requested that
00:25:48
the court prevent her kids from being exposed to this woman that her husband was living with in January of 2008 18
00:25:58
after months of back and forth legal motions and hearings Jennifer again filed a request for an emergency custody
00:26:05
order this time a different judge found that fotus had violated court orders multiple times he lied under oath and
00:26:12
manipulated his kids into lying for him and a psychiatrist hired by the guardian
00:26:19
ad lium found that fotus actions were causing psychological harm to the children for people who don't know what
00:26:26
a guardian ad light is it's a it's basically the lawyer for the children that is appointed by the court so they
00:26:34
act in the best interest of the children they um interview the children about each parent they also interview the
00:26:42
parents and other people around them to get an idea of how the inner household Works yes and I think this is so
00:26:50
important and I love that we do this because you can't trust going into this you know you're you're thinking of
00:26:57
course both these parents would have the children's best interest at heart right
00:27:02
but that's usually not well I shouldn't say usually but a lot of the times it's not the case I guess right because one
00:27:08
of them could be trying to manipulate the system or try to work things in their favor look I understand that our
00:27:16
judicial system is and in the courts system that we have is not perfect but it's things like this think well but
00:27:26
it's things like this that me that it is a good system that it's set up to be a good system and it's one of the better
00:27:33
ones in the world well look there's a lot of people out there that are good parents they're just bad at being
00:27:40
married so but going through that process of the disillusion of the marriage people can act like fools and
00:27:49
so I think by having the guardian ADL them in place it kind of calms that down as far as the parents interaction and
00:27:57
relation ship with their kids during this process on March 20th 2019 just last year the court definitively awarded
00:28:07
Jennifer sole physical custody of the kids and final decision-making Authority regarding the children vus was awarded
00:28:16
only regular supervised public visitation and recorded speaker phone telephone calls with the kids
00:28:25
specifically he would be allowed to his kids on Wednesdays and alternating Fridays and Saturdays for a couple of
00:28:33
hours at a time but again only in the presence of a court appointed supervisor and in public places he could not have
00:28:43
private conversations with the kids or speak to them in Greek he was not permitted to enter the home where
00:28:50
Jennifer and the kids lived under any circumstances any communication between Jennifer and fotus was also restricted
00:28:58
and was to be monitored by the court on May 24th 2019 at 6:59 p.m. the new Canan Connecticut Police Department
00:29:10
received a report Jennifer doues who resided at 69 Wells Lane was believed to be missing this was filed by phone by a

doors and windows looking in the windows and calling Jennifer's cell phone they are getting absolutely zero response so
00:32:36
after many failed attempts to reach Jennifer or get someone to answer the door Lauren over the phone gave the
00:32:43
officers the code to the keypad on the three car garage the officers made their way in immediately they spotted quote
00:32:52
suspected blood evidence this is found on the floor on the and on the driver's side of a Range Rover parked in the
00:33:00
Middle Bay mhm so right away this welfare check this possible missing person's call is going to turn into a
00:33:08
fullblown investigation the investigators find additional evidence specifically several suspected fresh
00:33:15
blood stains on the garage floor spatter on the wall drops of blood and partial bloody shoe prints a black 2017 Suburban
00:33:26
s V was missing this according to the nanny so the very smart new Canan PD contacted the Connecticut State Police
00:33:36
Western District major crime squad for investigative and crime scene processing so almost immediately this is a joint
00:33:46
criminal investigation between the new Canan PD and the Connecticut State Police yeah plus we're we at some point
00:33:54
we're going to get others involved and this will include Federal and other local
00:34:00
agencies at 69 Wells Lane this whole place now obviously Captain is a crime scene police quickly established a
00:34:11
timeline of Jennifer's morning first she drove her suburban and dropped the kids
00:34:17
off at school this at 7:58 a.m. surveillance footage collected from the area shows she returned home immediately
00:34:26
therea after arriving at 8:05 a.m. parking the Suburban in the garage the door closed behind her she was not seen
00:34:36
after that time and no other vehicles left from or arrived to the home until the Suburban left again at 10:25 a.m.
00:34:48
even more troubling around 8:30 p.m. that night at Waverly Park this is just 3 miles from the home
00:35:00
Jennifer Suburban was found abandoned the black one yeah so this is a 300 acre Park in New Canan and it's a fancy park
00:35:11
there are wooded areas but it's a city park not a state forest right at this time the new Canan police issued a
00:35:20
silver alert for Jennifer and her family issued a statement to the public as well
00:35:26
asking or help and or Witnesses so by this time Captain law enforcement are searching both the park and the home
00:35:36
let's go through their findings crime scene techs at the home went to work swabbing the garage and surfaces inside
00:35:45
the home as well they found blood spatter in the garage on the wall and on the driver's side door of the Range
00:35:52
Rover as well as a large stain or stains on the garage floor that appeared to be
00:35:59
cleaned up blood this was wiped in a manner that left obvious stains to the trained eye partial bloody shoe print
00:36:09
impressions are found on the garage floor droplets of blood were in various spots on the exterior of the Range Rover
00:36:18
well it seems like there was blood evidence all over this garage there was even blood that was found on the both
00:36:25
garbage cans and on the handle of one of the garbage cans as well all of this Blood proved to be of human origin now a
00:36:34
little side note here there are many news articles that state that blood was found on a tablet and cell phone which
00:36:41
was found in the master bedroom this is not true it's not true a tablet and cell
00:36:48
phone were found in the master bedroom they were taken into evidence but they didn't have blood on them and to push it
00:36:55
a step further it's unclear whose phone and tablet this was right inside the house there was no indication of a
00:37:04
struggle or confrontation the attack seemed to have been limited to just the garage as for the Suburban that was
00:37:12
found in the park when it was located its lights its running lights were on and its transmission was in Reverse
00:37:21
blood spatter and other blood evidence was found on both the interior and exterior of the vehicle including the
00:37:28
rear cargo area the weather tech # not a sponsor rear cargo mat was missing from
00:37:36
the vehicle hash can be a sponsor if the money's right I love WeatherTech investigators pulled Jennifer's cell
00:37:44
phone records and determined the following the last text from her phone was to the nanny to Lauren at 7:57 a.m.
00:37:53
on the morning of the 24th yeah then the phone left the wells lanee home around 10:30 a.m. and arrived at the Waverly
00:38:03
Park around 10:38 a.m. it remained there in the same location in the park until it was disconnected from the network at
00:38:13
11:09 a.m. when it last pinged near a tower uh on a tower I'm sorry near the park the phone has never been located
00:38:25
that we know of if it if it has been found we've not been told that by police right police did man they did so much
00:38:34
work in this case it's very impressive not only how much work they did but how quickly they moved and how smart their
00:38:41
movements in tactics were here they collected surveillance footage from nearly 80 sources primarily this would
00:38:49
be neighbors and businesses near Jennifer's home and the park right so they got footage from all the major
00:38:56
roadways in between new Canan and the Farmington area video showed that at around 10:25 a.m. a black 2017 Chevy
00:39:08
Suburban pulled out of Jennifer's garage and drove off various cameras captured it driving a route toward the park where
00:39:16
it was eventually found police surmised that Jennifer's phone was inside the vehicle because her cell phone arrived
00:39:23
in the Park area at 10:30 38 a.m. basically the same time as noted this footage showed no vehicles
00:39:33
arriving or leaving Jennifer's property other than her black Suburban so it looks like the person or
00:39:41
persons involved in her disappearance and this is from uh others others statements quote entered the
00:39:49
residence from an area not covered by surveillance cameras end quote according to police records surveillance footage
00:39:56
also captured a vehicle traveling Northbound on the Meritt Parkway going away from the park and toward Farmington
00:40:06
this at 11:12 a.m. just 3 minutes after Jennifer's phone went off of the network so according to the time frame
00:40:16
police had now established there was a 30 minute gap between when Jennifer's phone arrived at the park and when it
00:40:24
was shut down at 11: 09 a.m. right right and then 3 minutes later just 3 minutes
00:40:30
later someone is seen on video driving away at 1:01 a.m. on May 25th the new Canan PD called fotus duelist and asked
00:40:43
him some very basic questions one of these was the date of his last visit to nanan right he responded that it was on
00:40:53
May 22nd when he had last had a super vised visit with his children the day after Jennifer was reported missing May
00:41:03
25th fotus met with new Canan police at headquarters this was at 2:40 in the afternoon he was very polite in the
00:41:14
manner that he showed up about 3 hours late for the scheduled uh meeting uh detectives had to sit there waiting on
00:41:22
him now upon request fotus did hand over his phone and gave them the passcode to
00:41:28
the phone but right he very quickly demanded it be returned when he realized they intended to keep it like like we
00:41:38
didn't want to just look at this for a couple seconds dude we we we're going to analyze your phone and he's like oh crap
00:41:44
I need that back well he was just embarrassed by all the dickpics he had saved the police informed Fus that he
00:41:52
had that they had secured his phone with the intention of obtaining a warrant to
00:41:58
search its contents basically they're saying we don't have the warrant yet you've handed us your phone you want it
00:42:04
back we only ask for it because we intend on getting a search warrant and I'm sure they're probably telling him
00:42:10
there's no reason why we wouldn't be able to secure this warrant you you you're at a loss here buddy so
00:42:17
immediately when this goes down fotus says end of interview and he leaves now he did have an attorney present for all
00:42:25
of this this going on here now a forensic exam of fotus cell phone plus a second phone that he was required to
00:42:33
turn over pursuant to the search warrant that we just mentioned gave police some
00:42:38
more information according to the search in seizure affidavit fotus phone had answered a call on the morning of May
00:42:47
24th that's the morning in question at 8:24 a.m. but fotus attorney made several public statements about fotus
00:42:55
had having an alibi phone call presumably this was it supposedly a call from a friend in Greece but there was
00:43:05
more they also discovered the following from approximately 1 p.m. on May 23rd until 1:16 p.m. on the 24th fotus his
00:43:15
phone was at his residence at 4 Jefferson Crossing which again is also his office right the alarm on the cell
00:43:25
phone had gone off at 4:20 a.m. on the 24th and was manually shut off immediately thereafter the phone stayed
00:43:33
at the home and received incoming calls and text but showed no outgoing activity
00:43:41
at 1 16 p.m. the cell phone left fotus residence and traveled to another home owned by his company the four group this
00:43:50
was at 80 Mountain Spring Road in Farmington 2.1 miles away it arrived there at 1:37 p.m. the phone
00:44:00
stayed there for more than 2 and 1/2 hours before traveling back to for Jefferson Crossing this at 4:17
00:44:09
p.m. then at 5:21 the phone returned to the mountain Spring Road home and then went back to
00:44:16
Jefferson Crossing again then at 7:10 p.m. the phone traveled to Albany Avenue in Hartford Connecticut now anybody that
00:44:25
has followed this case knows what's going to go down here because this was all over the news before we get into
00:44:33
that a little explanation of geography is in order here from the upscale Farmington and Avon suburbs where fotus
00:44:42
and family had bounced around from new construction to new construction right Albany Avenue is the most direct route
00:44:49
into downtown Hartford in just a matter of four or five miles Albany Avenue takes Travelers directly to the inner
00:44:59
city along with photos's phone on Albany Avenue for half an hour between 710 and
00:45:06
7:41 p.m. was Michelle tron's phone intrigued by this movement of the phones investigators obtained surveillance
00:45:16
footage from the Hartford PD cameras that are located throughout the city right this is going to be able to tell
00:45:23
them how many people are in the car possibly yeah in the vehicle that we're talking about the footage captured a
00:45:29
black Ford Raptor pickup truck making multiple stops stopping multiple times at multiple locations those are
00:45:36
expensive trucks this is along several miles of Albany Avenue now this surveillance footage did not capture the
00:45:44
license plate of the vehicle but police were able to determine that the Raptor bore many similarities to one owned by
00:45:52
fotus duus video footage showed several veral black trash bags in the bed of the
00:45:58
truck so what was this truck doing driving along stopping every hundred yards or so well they could see a
00:46:06
Caucasian male wearing a baseball hat and a light colored shirt emerging from the vehicle at each stop and placing
00:46:14
garbage bags in trash receptacles one portion of the video also captured a woman of thin build leaning out of the
00:46:23
truck another piece of video showed the man inserting an object into a storm drain at the corner of Albany Avenue in
00:46:31
Garden Street did you say inserting I did okay inserting an item inserting should have got Morgan to say these
00:46:40
lines surveillance footage also showed the man disposing of a rug or could it be the missing WeatherTech mat right
00:46:49
from the rear of the Suburban investigators pulled video surveillance from photo his neighbors
00:46:56
homes and see that's the thing that people don't they people's murderous brains have not caught up to technology
00:47:05
yet everybody's got a camera on their on their doorbell now yeah everybody's got
00:47:11
cameras they're they're cheap to install we've advertised several great brands on
00:47:15
this show you can put them on your house and guess what if your neighbors are up
00:47:19
to some Dirty Deeds D Dirt Cheep D Dirt Cheep or doing them you know some de de do yourself Dunder I can't even
00:47:28
talk they're going to catch you on camera and that's what we're seeing here Captain they see video surveillance from
00:47:36
his neighbor's homes that show the Ford Raptor arriving at Ford Jefferson Crossing at 820 that or sorry 812 that
00:47:43
night right it would have taken about 20 minutes to get back to that address from
00:47:49
Albany Avenue so this is all lining up there's a lot of things to suggest that the person that they're seeing in that
00:47:56
Raptor that's making the stops is in fact fotus doues and his girlfriend at the time yeah we got to make sure that
00:48:03
that is photus in well police seized the Raptor this on May 31st it was just one of several
00:48:12
Vehicles fotus had registered to him on the same day the 31st a week after Jennifer vanished detectives obtained
00:48:21
warrants to collect DNA and fingerprints from photus duus and Michelle tronus who have not been by this point
00:48:31
even remotely helpful in this investigation while detectives sat outside of their house awaiting for the
00:48:41
return of the couple they had a bit of luck you know sometimes you get lucky in these
00:48:47
investigations this guy and I'm I struggle with his first name I think his first name Captain is Powell uhhuh but
00:48:54
his last name is is guyi he's the project manager for fotus company an employee of fotus he drove up in a
00:49:03
vehicle register to the company this is a je a Jeep Cherokee detectives inquired
00:49:10
as to what he had been doing he told them that he stopped by fotus other house in Avon to remove the seats from
00:49:19
fotus Porsche this was at fotus insistence okay there the seats from this Porsche were
00:49:30
in the back of this Jeep this is obviously strange right right when Michelle and fotus showed up
00:49:38
that evening they were ordered to drive to the state police barracks there detectives obtained DNA hair and
00:49:46
fingerprint samples from both and when they did so they noticed fotus was covered in poison ivy now of course
00:49:56
fotus is a builder his defense no doubt that this could be from any of his building sites but what's interesting
00:50:04
here is that within a week of his wife Vanishing right fotus developed symptoms that he was possibly in the woods at
00:50:11
some point afterward both were permitted to leave the police station then just a
00:50:18
week after his wife was reported missing fotus dulus was arrested on June 1st 2019
00:50:26
the charges tampering with physical evidence and hindering prosecution so they were able to
00:50:33
positively ID him on that that footage dropping trash can bags into sewards and and other places I think that to get a
00:50:44
100% confirmation that it was in fact him and Michelle they're not 100% on it but they're pretty darn close they got a
00:50:53
they got a lot of things backing up their statement that they say we believe this to be fotus and Michelle right now
00:51:00
his mug shot when he's arrested fotus is head nearly shaved at this time a former
00:51:06
neighbor told us that fotus never shaved his head before so this is weird is he trying to change or disguise himself in
00:51:14
some manner yeah we see this constantly fotus is criminal attorney Norm pattis least he didn't die at bleach blonde
00:51:24
like Scott Peterson did I noticed you showed up to the garage today fully bald oh fully shaved uh that's the work of
00:51:36
the Lord um fotus is criminal attorney this his name is Norm pattis he made public statements that fotus could not
00:51:45
have been involved in what happened to Jennifer on the morning of the 24th of May as he had been on the phone this was
00:51:53
a call he took a phone call at this this time he also said that fotus his girlfriend Michelle tronus could provide
00:51:59
him a complete Alibi for that morning now we should point out though on the day that fotus was arrested Michelle too
00:52:07
was arrested and charged with the same charges during the arrest interview of Michelle she told detectives that fotus
00:52:16
was home with her on the morning of the 24th and that they had been intimate in the shower yeah I don't believe a thing
00:52:24
this piece of [ __ ] has to say she said that she made breakfast for her daughter
00:52:29
and drove her to school that morning fotus was in the four group office with his business lawyer Kent
00:52:37
mwini mwini MWI something like that at 8:15 a.m. she did errands she ran errands between 9 and 11:30 a.m. this
00:52:47
included a drop off of a purse to a friend who had left it at her in photos's home the night before a trip to
00:52:55
simsberry stoping shop where she took pictures with the store robot you know like some stores have a you
00:53:02
know a mascot of sorts okay that's what I take this to be the store robot Marty H and another visit she made to a
00:53:12
different friend's house she danced around the question of whether fotus was home all of this time you know she's
00:53:19
simply saying when I left he was still there and his business attorney was there with him
00:53:25
and when I got back they were both still there so that's her way of kind of saying that he was at the house the
00:53:33
whole morning without fully saying I saw him at the house the entire morning right so she says that at some point she
00:53:43
had lunch with fotus that day I'm guessing this would be right around the time of when we have the police saying
00:53:49
fotus his phone finally leaves the house what makes for a decent alibi as we know
00:53:55
fotus phone was by the police's statements located in that home all morning long until they left for lunch
00:54:03
right the problem is all activity on the phone is coming into the phone none of it is going
00:54:09
out she said that later that day fotus called her and asked her to come over to the other home this is the 80 mountain
00:54:16
spring Roadhouse to help clean it for a showing the next day she brought over a vacuum Swiffer paper towels Clorox and
00:54:27
garbage bags she said she arrived between 2:15 and 3:00 p.m. but we actually know this to be different it
00:54:37
was 1:37 p.m. fotus is visible on surveillance footage driving his Suburban this is a different Suburban
00:54:46
for those keeping score at home over to the mountain spring Roadhouse at 136 with Michelle following in the Jeep
00:54:55
and they clearly arrived at the home at 137 we have video footage backing this up right but at some point when her
00:55:02
phone and his phone tracked together like as far as like the cell phone ping technology yeah they they know this to
00:55:10
be the case and they're going to ask her why you know why is your phone and his phone traveling along Albany Avenue on
00:55:17
the night of May 24th at the same time right to which Michelle said fotus wanted to go to Starbucks in Hartford
00:55:26
she admitted to investigators that fotus drove the Raptor and that he did stop multiple times to deposit items wrapped
00:55:34
in trash bags into receptacles she told them that she did not know what was in the trash bags and that she really
00:55:42
didn't know what he was doing she said that she was on the phone the entire time and really wasn't paying any
00:55:49
attention Michelle confirmed that the video footage obtained by the police of the Raptor was in fact of her and fotus
00:55:57
so she's Cooperative on that level yeah but she yeah I that's me that's him that's his Raptor but I don't know what
00:56:04
he was doing and I wasn't paying attention you'd think you'd ask we also have footage that shows this is from the
00:56:11
Starbucks that she mentioned it shows the couple entering the store at 7:59 p.m. photus and Michelle both posted
00:56:21
Bond and were released from police custody they were required though to wear ankle monitoring bracelets they
00:56:29
were required to remain in the state and to surrender their passports both of these that's cute that they got matching
00:56:35
bracelets yeah both of these individuals would be considered Flight Risk so you you have to take some additional steps
00:56:43
to make sure that they are going to stay and actually you're that you will see them in court eventually right the next
00:56:49
day police executed an unannounced search warrant of fotus house this is when they seized the following
00:56:58
items various computers servers flash drives and hard drives Stop and Shop plastic trash bags seven cell phones and
00:57:08
the trash can in the office this is in the trash can of his office they found a document it outlined the activities and
00:57:18
I'm using air quotes there of fotus and Michelle on Friday May 24th and Saturday
00:57:24
May 25th it mirrored exactly what Michelle told investigators about fotus being home with her and fotus having a meeting
00:57:33
with his business lawyer this appears to be a cheat sheet to help them prepare for the interrogation you know let's get
00:57:43
our stories straight now police want to talk to Michelle again because as ZZ Top would
00:57:50
say they got me under pressure her story is going to change she admits that she cannot account for
00:57:58
fotus whereabouts on the day in question from about 8 a.m. until noon or maybe even 100
00:58:06
p.m. she goes on to tell DET detectives when she woke up at 640 a.m. fotus was home but he left the house soon
00:58:15
thereafter and left his cell phone in the home office she says sometime around 1 they had a quick lunch before fotus
00:58:24
left again at approximately 300 p.m. MH she received the call from fotus asking her to bring the cleaning supplies to
00:58:33
the mountain Spring Road property again we know that this was closer to 115 at around 4 p.m. fotus employee GUI
00:58:43
arrived and again we have video footage to suggest that this was actually at 5:00 p.m. at around 5:20 p.m. she says
00:58:52
she went home Detectives confronted Michelle with the handwritten notes that they had found in the trash Michelle
00:59:01
admitted to investigators that this list of specific times and activities was written by her and fotus to quote help
00:59:10
them remember and quote what they did on the 24th she said these were all false the notes were
00:59:20
false detectives refer to the notes as The Alibi script right so how are they false they're just
00:59:28
she's saying somebody else made them up well remember her story changes the the notes that they find on
00:59:34
this document are of the first story that she gives to detectives now once they're showing hey we got evidence that
00:59:42
this stuff isn't real she's walking it back right and saying look okay this these are false statements that we wrote
00:59:50
on these notes this was to yes it was to help us remember what we did that day but they're they're all a lie she
00:59:57
admitted to detectives that fotus said to her at one point in their relationship that I hope Jennifer
01:00:05
disappears detectives told Michelle that they believe fotus killed Jennifer and involved Michelle by making her clean up
01:00:14
right she said quote I hate him because of that end quote she also said and this
01:00:20
this is weird that she had been cleaning the house not cleaning Jennifer take that
01:00:27
for what you will but I find that statement to be disturbing well she's basically implying that she was cleaning
01:00:34
the house and that fotus was cleaning the body of of Jennifer investigators said Michelle continued to provide
01:00:43
answers which were vague evasive and contradictory they believed that she was withholding a significant amount of
01:00:53
information and they also said that they had identified several aspects which indicate a significant amount of pre
01:01:02
planning prior to this crime the detectives returned to the Jefferson Crossing house with Michelle on June 7th
01:01:13
they were seen searching the woods behind the home we don't know if anything was found during these searches
01:01:20
but it appears not only is she walking back her statements and changing her story that she might be working with
01:01:28
police at this time pal gini now remember he's the guy that removed the car seats from the
01:01:35
Porsche placing them in the back of the Jeep gini told them meaning investigators the
01:01:42
following he says on May 24th he was working a four group construction site in new Canan this is 3.4 miles from
01:01:52
Jennifer's house he was driving the Ford Raptor registered to the Ford group each
01:01:59
day of that week earlier that week on Monday the 20th gu mini parked his own vehicle this is a red Toyota Tacoma in
01:02:09
the driveway of fotus place and drove the Raptor most of the week this apparently is normal practice he
01:02:18
typically would switch out the vehicles at the end of the work week on the 23rd he did not see fotus all day until he
01:02:27
received a text at 213 when he was asked if gini was planning on returning to the office gini
01:02:36
got there around 4:30 and says no one was home so he proceeded over to the house at 80 Mountain Spring Road also
01:02:45
owned by the four group arriving at 4:58 when gu mini arrived he was surprised to find fotus and Michelle at
01:02:53
the home home and asked them what they were doing they responded that they were cleaning gin's Tacoma his truck was
01:03:02
there as well gimini and fotus left at 502 to shuttle the two four group Vehicles the Raptor and a black Suburban
01:03:11
back to for Jefferson Crossing Michelle stayed behind with the white Jeep and G's
01:03:19
Tacoma fotus then drove gini back to Mountain road to pick up his own vehicle the Tacoma but it was locked Michelle
01:03:29
had locked it and taken the keys photus asked gimini to just keep the Raptor over the weekend and he fotus would
01:03:38
return the Tacoma to G later right gini declined and fotus had to call Michelle at 5:116 p.m. to drive over with the
01:03:48
keys gini got into his own vehicle the Tacoma and drove home this made may seem on the surface as a lot of nonsense but
01:03:57
really Captain what does this look like to to to me it looks like fotus is trying to set up a situation where he is
01:04:07
able to keep the Tacoma right and use this other guy's vehicle for what we don't know now laid out in the second
01:04:15
arrest warrant detectives have identified the vehicle used in the commission of the crime as a 2001 toyot
01:04:24
y Tacoma gini said that he had been told by fotus to discard the old seats in his
01:04:30
Tacoma take out the seats of your truck man and throw them away and replace them
01:04:34
with seats taken from my Porsche this plus the fact that fotus had access to the vehicle all week made
01:04:42
detectives extremely suspicious yeah they went back and pulled surveillance footage along likely routes between DS's
01:04:50
residence and the crime scene and sure enough they found the red Tacoma belonging to
01:04:57
gini traveling at various points between Farmington and laam Road in new Canan on
01:05:04
May 24th specifically the red Tacoma traveled Southbound on Meritt Parkway and went to uh new Canan a school bus
01:05:15
dash cam video spotted the Tacoma parked at 7:40 a.m. at a turnaround on lapam road this is 100
01:05:24
feet from where Jennifer's Suburban was found so if somebody attacked her in the
01:05:33
garage placed her and and presumably killed her there right placing her in her own Suburban drove it and moved it
01:05:42
to the park who knows where it went you know now we have this vehicle parked 100 ft
01:05:49
away that you could use as some type of getaway vehicle if you needed to leave the Suburban there so the the red Tacoma
01:05:58
was seen on video on the Meritt Parkway this is Northbound in new Canan at 11:12
01:06:06
a.m. the rim of a bicycle is visible in the back of the truck it turned into the driveway at 80
01:06:16
Mountain Spring Road at 1222 p.m. so detectives used the Toyota Tacoma footage as well as
01:06:24
the footage obtained earlier of Jennifer Suburban to in to conclude the following
01:06:30
fotus is believed to have been lying in wait at 69 Wells Lane for Jennifer to return home the crime and cleanup are
01:06:39
believed to have occurred between 8:05 and 10:25 a.m. duelist is believed to have been operating the V the victim's
01:06:48
vehicle the Suburban MH which is carrying the body of Jennifer doues and a number of other items associated with
01:06:56
the crime which occurred in the garage of the residents now Lauren Alam media the uh she's the The Nanny detectives
01:07:05
interviewed her at length amongst other details she said a couple of days before
01:07:12
Jennifer disappeared fotus showed up hours early for a supervised visit with the kids so this visitation was always
01:07:21
on the same schedule and he's early but he's acting confused like he doesn't know that he's play he's dumb
01:07:29
yeah so Lauren said that on the morning of the 24th she arrived at Jennifer's house
01:07:36
this at 11:30 a.m. she noticed that the Suburban at this time was gone but the Range Rover was still there as we know
01:07:44
parked in the garage she saw Jennifer's purse on the floor in the doorway between the mudroom
01:07:51
and the kitchen and Jennifer's mug of tea tea and an unopened granola bar were on the kitchen counter Lauren washed the
01:07:59
mug and as she reached for a paper towel she noticed that the roll was depleted so she went to get another from the
01:08:09
12pack she had purchased the previous day to her astonishment only two rolls were left as she stated to detectives
01:08:19
quote I sat there and wondered what happened last night that they used 10 rolls of paper towels yeah very fishy
01:08:27
Lauren also said that she noticed the rear mudroom door which led outside it was unlocked which is
01:08:34
extremely strange this is a door that was always kept locked throughout the day the day in question she said she
01:08:43
text and called Jennifer never getting any answer or response meanwhile Jennifer was missing appointments just
01:08:50
before 700 p.m. she and Jennifer 's friend Laura Watts decided to call the police department now they told officers
01:08:59
that Jennifer was missing and she was going through a divorce with a man this is one part that we left out earlier who
01:09:05
had threatened her in the past and they knew him to own a firearm detectives had Lauren view crime
01:09:14
scene photos of the garage and she was very familiar with the setup there and in fact had just
01:09:20
cleaned the garage for Jennifer on the 21st so just 3 days earlier she noted that two things were missing one was a
01:09:30
cleaning supply bucket full of cleaning materials that would be used by the housekeeper the second item that was
01:09:37
missing was a set of camping pillows that would be used by the kids as we said investigators conducted
01:09:46
testing of the house at Wells Lane the evidence collected there according to one of the arrest warrants was a mixture
01:09:54
of biological material of the victim Jennifer doues and that of her husband fotus douis Jennifer's blood was all
01:10:04
over the garage and photos's DNA was found in a smear of Jennifer's blood left on the kitchen faucet inside the
01:10:14
home and that's important because he was ordered not to go in that house correct
01:10:20
so looking at this you're thinking okay this attack occurred Jennifer lost this fight fotus probably was the
01:10:31
attacker and whatever happened he may have went inside afterwards and washed up tests performed on 14 swabs taken
01:10:42
from the Suburban registered to Jennifer that was found in the park provided damning evidence there was
01:10:50
blood inside the vehicle on the Upholstery and on the match MH this Blood did match Jennifer's well and like
01:10:58
you were saying too they're driving down a road with multiple bags and disposing
01:11:04
them and they they did recover some of them correct yeah they retrieved the item that was inserted to the storm
01:11:11
drain but but but not the trash cans well we'll get into that cuz that it gets quite a bit
01:11:19
complicated this whole story is frankly complicated but in the storm drain they find a FedEx box inside the box two
01:11:28
license plates both plates had altered numbers and letters somebody somebody dummied them up right these plates were
01:11:37
expired but at one time had been registered to fotus duus right so another piece of
01:11:47
evidence suggesting that it was him in fact on that video not to mention that we have his girlfriend claiming that it
01:11:54
was them that they saw on the video they did go and they they raided let's say those trash cans that you had mentioned
01:12:03
they conducted a 3- week search of materials uh and recycling Authority trash plant in in Hartford this is where
01:12:13
all the garbage from those bins and dumpsters would have eventually ended up uh the vast majority of the trash
01:12:21
collected from the 24th apparently they're they're to burn it in this area had not been burnt yet right
01:12:29
uh because the plant was this is they got lucky again on the investigation the plant was a day behind scheduled because
01:12:36
of the Memorial Day holiday right right so it had not all been fully processed and I guess they run it through some
01:12:45
kind of shredding process before they incinerate it it had gone through this Shredder process process so this is
01:12:54
going to make things again complicated the amount of garbage from the Albany Avenue area that police using police
01:13:01
dogs as well had to sift through was piled as high as 20 ft over an area half the size of a football field 15 to 20
01:13:11
detectives went through 30 it's estimated at 30 to 35 tons of trash daily for 3 weeks police also executed a
01:13:22
major search along Albany Avenue on May 31st utilizing canines and troopers on the ground and air searches as well
01:13:33
trying to find all the things that were dumped by fotus along his Drive in these
01:13:39
painstaking searches police were able to recover some two dozen evidentiary items
01:13:46
which included garbage bags containing women's clothing a with a substance on on the
01:13:53
items that appeared to be blood plastic zip ties which were stained with what appeared to be blood a white T-shirt
01:14:01
stained with what looked like blood a bra with blood on it a black leather work glove with blood stains a bath
01:14:11
towel with red stains cleaning and household goods such as a kitchen sponge again with red stains these items were
01:14:20
submitted to the Department of emergency service and public protection forensic laboratory for forensic testing on June
01:14:29
10th the report from the lab came back the substance on many of the items was determined to be blood and it was the
01:14:39
blood of Jennifer doulis but the chief State's Attorney stated in an interview that police found
01:14:46
no evidence of Jennifer's actual body being in the Hartford trash plant [Music] for everything true crime make sure you
