00:02:52
[Music] July 2017 during court proceedings 48 year-old Jennifer Dulles requested an
00:03:27
emergency custody order begging the court for sole custody of her five children a portion of the request reads
00:03:36
as follows quote I'm afraid of my husband I know that filing for divorce and filing this motion will enrage him I
00:03:46
know he will retaliate by trying to harm me in some way he has the attitude that
00:03:54
he must always win at all costs he is dangerous and ruthless when he believes that he has been wronged during the
00:04:05
course of our marriage he told me about sickening revenge fantasies and plans to
00:04:11
cause physical harm to others who have wronged him for example flying a plane over an ex client's home and dropping a
00:04:20
brick on his house I fear for my family safety and I believe him to be highly capable and vengeful enough to take the
00:04:30
children and disappear Jennifer's husband 49 year old foetus dualists denied all Jennifer's assertions
00:04:40
responded that Jennifer was unstable and unfit to parent their children he said that she took the children from him
00:04:49
without warning Judge Thomas colon denied the emergency custody order instead putting in place a
00:04:57
plan of custody whereby the parents would share legal custody while the divorce was settled judge Colin wrote it
00:05:06
is clear that in the weeks immediately preceding the filing of this action the atmosphere in the party's home
00:05:13
deteriorated the plaintiff was upset over the breakdown of the marriage and what she perceived to be the defendants
00:05:20
controlling and aggressive behavior the defendant became upset because he felt he could no longer control the situation
00:05:29
and unilaterally dictate the outcome arguments followed including in the presence of the children things were
00:05:38
said in anger however the court is hopeful that once things settled down and cooler heads prevail these extremely
00:05:47
well-educated and accomplished parents will be able to reach an agreement on a mutually acceptable parenting plan with
00:05:56
the assistance of their experienced and talented counsel but as we shall soon see cooler heads did not prevail less
00:06:05
than two years later on May 24th 2019 at 6:59 p.m. the New Canaan Connecticut Police Department received a report of a
00:06:16
missing woman her name Jennifer Dulles this report was filed by phone by a laurel watts this is true crime garage
00:06:26
and this is the case of Jennifer Dulles Botes duelists grew up in Greece part of
00:06:56
a large traditional Greek family he excelled in both snow skiing and waterskiing
00:07:01
Fotis attended Brown University graduating in 1989 with degrees and economics and applied mathematics after
00:07:10
Fotis worked for some big-name firms such as Ernst & Young doing management consulting he got his master's degree in
00:07:18
finance from Columbia University this in 1997 he married his first wife in 2000 but then he met Jennifer Farber in the
00:07:29
Aspen Airport Jennifer was the beautiful and privileged daughter of Hilliard and
00:07:33
Gloria Farber because of Hilliard successes this was an extremely wealthy family Jennifer had also attended brown
00:07:42
when Fotis was there but they didn't know each other back then Jennifer too got her master's degree this was in
00:07:49
writing from NYU's Tisch School for the Arts she was a very busy writer we are talking journalism essays plays and
00:07:59
screenplays and even a novel she loved reading and traveling it's not clear when exactly Jennifer and Fotis started
00:08:08
seeing each other but it is clear that it was when Fotis was still married he divorced in July of 2004 and Jennifer
00:08:19
and foetus were married within months they lived in the Farmington Valley area in Connecticut where photos started up
00:08:26
his own company the for group a prominent residential builder constructing custom luxury homes in the
00:08:34
wealthy Farmington valley and Fairfield County areas of Connecticut bonuses mo was to build a mansion or even a small
00:08:43
development and move his family into the new home until it's sold Jennifer and photos had two sets of twins and a baby
00:08:51
girl in quick succession yeah they had a total of three boys and two girls the family was very busy with multiple
00:08:59
nannies employed at once people were coming and going from their homes constantly this because
00:09:06
foetus ran his business out of his home whichever house he was living in at the time right now before we get too far
00:09:13
along one thing I really want to point out here I want to point this out now because later in this case there will be
00:09:19
a lot of moving pieces so please just note that foetus runs his business out of his home so when we say
00:09:27
the office or his house either way it's the same location this did not always go
00:09:35
over well with the neighbors because imagine this you're living in this very wealthy upscale area and this guy's got
00:09:44
trucks and men coming and going constantly and what's supposed to be this quiet residential area but also not
00:09:51
to mention that he is of a different ethnicity so sometimes that doesn't play too well in these areas one neighbor on
00:10:00
the for group built called a sack for homes this in an area called Avon called the police on foetus numerous times for
00:10:10
things like residential zoning violations and noise violations this former neighbor recounted to us that
00:10:17
foetus was enraged by this and confronted her on the street on a number of occasions on one occasion
00:10:26
threatening her in her own driveway despite this foetus was generally considered to be charming and
00:10:33
charismatic by most however you can see by this behavior he was a hothead right he insisted on getting his way he was in
00:10:42
my opinion controlling an arrogant as well also seems like he was such a bully towards women at some point the family
00:10:51
moved to Farmington the address was for Jefferson crossing this was in fact constructed by foetus company this is a
00:11:00
massive brick mansion with six bedrooms in a 13,000 square feet of living space oh yeah this area you could play
00:11:08
baseball in this house you could put 20 of my houses in that house this area the Farmington Hills is very upscale
00:11:17
Fotis was developing a number of properties in this very immediate area now it's not clear exactly when the
00:11:25
marriage started to go south there was some good in some bad as there is with most marriages it is said by friends of
00:11:33
Jennifer that she at some point was suspicious she suspected foetus had a wandering eye he was away with him
00:11:44
wait so put that eye on a leash so she met him why while he was married they had a fair that obviously she knew about
00:11:55
and now she's questioning his wandering eye so when the wonder and I works out in your favor it's ok but now it's not
00:12:03
okay you know I I always immediately think of that as well but then I try to like put myself in the position of
00:12:11
somebody that finds himself in a relationship like this and then I start to wonder I'm like I think what the way
00:12:19
this goes down captain is that a lot of times when you are the one being pursued
00:12:23
or you're starting up this new relationship with this married man or married woman I think you make a lot of
00:12:29
assumptions or at least believe the other person that the marriage that they're in is just horrible like it's a
00:12:34
it's a nightmare it's already over we're living separate lives it's just a matter
00:12:38
of signing some papers well that's what them can make you think right right and then you get involved in this and you
00:12:44
think well we're truly in love he wouldn't do that to me or she wouldn't do that to me we have a great
00:12:49
relationship we have five children and we live in a big beautiful brick mansion that we play baseball in and I'm not
00:12:56
saying this happened for for certain because there's no evidence of that but I have sometimes met couples where
00:13:04
instantly I'm going to this guy seems a little controlling of his wife and they normally have a lot of children it's
00:13:13
almost like they put that into play as a way to control their people at home yeah
00:13:20
well and as you said you get the vibe that he's a bit of a bully towards women there's there
00:13:26
one way to bully a woman is in mistreat her is to go outside of the marriage and
00:13:33
they these two are both attractive well-educated people the other issue and I think where her
00:13:40
suspicions come into play is he's gone a lot he's away from the home a lot he's at water ski competitions that he
00:13:47
participated in these are in other states sometimes in other countries he's out skiing an aspen or visiting greece
00:13:54
because he has extended family there then in the early 2017 they decided to sell the home they listed the house and
00:14:05
enrolled the kids in the New Canaan country school but all of this blew up when Jennifer discovered in March of
00:14:13
2017 that foetus was in fact having an affair this you know enter Michelle true CONUS was she a ski instructor she was I
00:14:23
believe down in Argentina so I was just making a joke she was involved in skiing
00:14:32
in some form right now things deteriorated fast once this took place on June 30 2017
00:14:39
Lauren al Media who by this point has been employed by the doula PSA's for over four years now as one of their
00:14:47
nannies she says that she witnessed the following she heard yelling and thudding
00:14:52
footsteps as Jennifer ran through the home being chased by a clearly angry foetus Jennifer ran into the master
00:15:01
bedroom and slammed the door behind her Lauren and one of the children were already in this room so they're in the
00:15:08
room with her as well and she says she could hear foetus pounding on the door and rage Jennifer braced her back
00:15:15
against the locked door and photos finally walked away realizing you know probably realizing that one of his kids
00:15:22
and the nanny were in this room as well and had witnessed the whole thing right shaking in fear Jennifer told
00:15:31
Lauren that she was very afraid of her husband and that he had threatened to take all five of their kids away from
00:15:38
her and moved to Greece a lauren soon after observed another incident where she found Jennifer crying in the
00:15:47
driveway she told Lauren that foetus had tried to run her down with his vehicle and she had to jump out of the way of
00:15:56
his car as he drove off in in another fit of rage yeah but to be fair a lot of times if your friends going through a
00:16:05
divorce you only kind of hear one side of whatever is happening and especially if you've been friends with that couple
00:16:14
for a long time sometimes you have to you know take that story with a little bit of a grain of
00:16:20
salt and say is this actually happening is he being as threatening as she claims
00:16:27
or is this just to get me on her side well it could be to get her on her side the the only the only issue I take with
00:16:37
that is we one of these things events she witnessed herself right right she was present there and probably afraid as
00:16:44
well and she's look I'm sure that they had some kind of friendly relationship but at the end of the day she's the
00:16:51
nanny she works for both of them right you know all these things out devil's advocate there these things are all
00:16:59
adding up of course and eventually Jennifer is going to have enough of this behavior she packs up her things and
00:17:05
left taking the five children with her now at this time the five children they range
00:17:11
in age from 8 to 13 she's away with the kids and she's going to really upset foetus further because not only did she
00:17:21
take the children but she's refusing to respond to his calls and to his texts right now at this point in her life is
00:17:30
she avid writer no I think the the writing slowed down significantly once she started having children right
00:17:41
because sometimes as this divorce happens you'll see the was one of the parents used the
00:17:50
children as leverage go away not respond and then sometimes the other spouse uses
00:17:57
money as leverage but she comes from money so I'm just pointing out that she has a lot more options than the average
00:18:05
mother with five kids would have oh yes you're you're spot-on man she comes not only does she come from money she comes
00:18:13
from wealth right her her family is extremely wealthy and she wasn't like snobby about it or weird about it or
00:18:21
anything like that she was from all accounts I could find she's pretty down-to-earth I think the major concern
00:18:26
here and we've seen this unfortunately too many times where someone has easy access to live in another country right
00:18:38
takes the children and goes to that other country and then we have a hard time getting those kids back for the
00:18:45
parent that is stuck here well in this scenario we've seen it through the throughout the time of doing this show
00:18:52
and and learning a lot about abusive situations and here Jennifer's in this abusive situation and a lot of times
00:19:00
these women that that have the five kids that have no money that have no means because they're staying at home and
00:19:07
doing this huge job of raising the kids that the spouse then like I said controls that money and these women in
00:19:16
abusive situations have a really hard time of just it's not as easy as just packing up everything and getting out of
00:19:22
there so the fact that she has these resources is really good yeah and I think the threat of what she is afraid
00:19:30
of is very real here we have a guy that could very easily just take the children
00:19:35
he says he's taking him to McDonald's one afternoon and next thing you know they're on a plane to Greece and he's
00:19:41
shacking up with family there and she has lost her children right so she's not responding to his phone calls or to his
00:19:49
texts I think it's out of fear that he's going to take the children not so much that
00:19:54
she's trying to hold them or dangle them over his head like some kind of carrot here
00:20:00
he gets upset he calls the police this is on June 19th to report his children as missing saying quote I'm worried
00:20:07
about my wife and kids because they left to go to New York and I haven't been able to get in touch with them I've been
00:20:13
texting and I see that the texts are being delivered but no one is responding to me
00:20:19
end quote police found the children I would also really like to read what those texts are because I'm sure they're
00:20:26
not just hey are you okay please let me know you're okay I'm sure those texts were verbally abusive well the the
00:20:36
police's statement is that they did find the children and they found them quote safe and secure with their mother
00:20:42
now Jennifer moved into 69 Wells Lane in New Canaan this is a very exclusive town
00:20:49
of less than 20,000 people a suburb of New York City this house I mean it sounds like you know I hate to keep kind
00:21:00
of running around this here that she comes from wealth and has plenty of money most people in this situation
00:21:05
would find themselves you know dire straits we don't have much money we're gonna have to go live someplace else on
00:21:12
an emergency situation the house that she's renting is a nine thousand eight hundred square feet home that that the
00:21:23
Zillow website estimates its value at three point five million dollars we can't go from thirteen thousand to
00:21:29
twelve hundred yeah thirteen thousand nine thousand it's also closer to her mother to
00:21:36
Jennifer's mother who is quite helpful with the children and in with Jennifer now she Jennifer filed for divorce on
00:21:44
June 20th 2017 and from the get-go the proceedings were contentious the two parties have filed nearly five hundred
00:21:52
motions between them and her court filings Jennifer claimed that photos quote exhibited irrational unsafe
00:22:00
bullying threatening and controlling behavior and quote heck you heard the statement in the trailer of his violent
00:22:10
fantasies of revenge against people who have wronged or threatening to take the kids and go
00:22:15
to Greece no she also said that photos made a specific threat to kidnap the children and take them to Greece or
00:22:21
another country and quote you will never find us is what she says he said if if she did not agree to his terms in the
00:22:30
divorce he's trying to control this whole divorce thing Jennifer emphasized that foetus is scary behavior had
00:22:38
significantly intensified as the proceedings went along and states that she was now afraid for her safety the
00:22:47
judge required the doula says to refrain from any travel keep the kids away from
00:22:53
any romantic partners that they may have and to work to establish a mutually agreeable custodial plan foetus was
00:23:02
losing it with this situation this situation is beyond his control he reasserted his claims that Jennifer was
00:23:12
an unfit mother and that she was a pill popper this and all in the court filings
00:23:18
we spoke with one of Jennifer's friends who saw foetus at an Avon Connecticut restaurant sometime after Jennifer left
00:23:29
the home Fotis insisted on telling her over and over again that his wife was crazy and that she was a pill popper and
00:23:38
to be brutally honest here captain I'm kind of dumbing that down a little bit it was it went on and on and on with
00:23:48
this guy trying to convince this person that Jennifer was just some crazy pill popping unfit mother yeah I mean he's
00:23:59
trying to say hey she's crazy for wanting to divorce me even though I'm cheating on her well he's one hell of a
00:24:06
skier yeah so we already named the woman that foetus was having an affair with Michelle Warner CONUS possibly could
00:24:15
have been more well a little background here I mean it appears that their relationship was pretty tight Michelle
00:24:21
was seven years younger than photos she worked at Ford with him at some point she was from
00:24:28
Venezuela went to college and Argentina and had been a TV host and producer for a ski show on ESPN on the ESPN network
00:24:37
in Argentina of course Michelle moved in with foetus and she was a mother to a preteen daughter who lived with the both
00:24:46
of them now jennifer requested that the court prevent her kids from being exposed to this woman that her husband
00:24:54
was living with in January of 2018 after months of back-and-forth legal motions and hearings Jennifer again filed a
00:25:03
request for an emergency custody order this time a different judge found that foetus had violated court orders
00:25:10
multiple times he lied under oath and manipulated his kids into lying for him and a psychiatrist hired by the guardian
00:25:19
ad litem found that focuses actions were causing psychological harm to the children for people who don't know what
00:25:27
a guardian ad litem is it's a it's basically the lawyer for the children that is appointed by the court so they
00:25:35
act in the best interest of the children they interview the children about each parent they also interview the parents
00:25:43
and other people around them to get a idea of how the inner household works yes and I think this is so important and
00:25:51
I love that we do this because you can't trust going into this you know you're thinking of course both these parents
00:25:59
would have the children's best interest at heart right but that's usually not well I shouldn't say usually but a lot
00:26:06
of the times it's not the case I guess right because one of them could be trying to manipulate the system or try
00:26:13
to work things in their favor look I understand that our judicial system is in the courts system that we have is not
00:26:22
perfect but it's things like this think well but it's things like this that remind me that it is a good system that
00:26:30
it's set up to be a good system and it's one of the better ones in the world well
00:26:35
look there's a lot of people out there that are good parents they're just bad at being
00:26:40
married so but going through that process of the dissolution of the marriage people can act like fools and
00:26:49
so I think by having the guardian ad litem in place it kind of calms that down as far as the parents interaction
00:26:57
and relationship with their kids during this process on March 20th 2019 just last year the court definitively awarded
00:27:08
Jennifer sole physical custody of the kids and final decision-making authority regarding the children foetus was
00:27:16
awarded only regular supervised public visitation and recorded speaker phone telephone calls with the kids
00:27:25
specifically he would be allowed to see his kids on Wednesdays and alternating Fridays and Saturdays for a couple of
00:27:34
hours at a time but again only in the presence of a court-appointed supervisor and in public places he could not have
00:27:43
private conversations with the kids or speak to them in Greek he was not permitted to enter the home where
00:27:51
Jennifer and the kids lived under any circumstances any communication between Jennifer and photos was also restricted
00:27:59
and was to be monitored by the court on May 24th 2019 at 6:59 p.m. the New Canaan Connecticut police department
00:28:10
received a report Jennifer dualists who resided at 69 Wells Lane was believed to
00:28:16
be missing this was filed by phone by a friend of Jennifers Laurel watts the friend received a call from Jennifer's
00:28:25
nanny remember Lauren we have a Laurel and a little Lauren who was with the with four of Jennifer's children in New
00:28:32
York City the way this comes about captain is Jennifer missed three scheduled appointments that day not only
00:28:40
that Jennifer is not answering the nanny's calls and texts something she said never happened and remember by this
00:28:48
point in time in our timeline Lauren has worked for Jen for over six years so we seem to have a
00:28:56

00:33:09
two officers drove out to Jennifer's residence once there they are trying the usual
00:33:15
tactics knocking on the doors and windows looking in the windows and calling Jennifer's cellphone they are
00:33:22
getting absolutely zero response so after many failed attempts to reach Jennifer or get someone to answer the
00:33:30
door Lauren over the phone gave the officers the code to the keypad on the three-car
00:33:37
garage the officers made their way in immediately they spotted quote suspected blood evidence this is found on the
00:33:46
floor on the and on the driver's side of a Range Rover parked in the middle bay mm-hmm so right away this welfare check
00:33:54
this possible missing persons call is going to turn into a full-blown investigation the investigators find
00:34:02
additional evidence specifically several suspected fresh bloodstains on the garage floor spatter on the wall drops
00:34:10
of blood and partial bloody shoe prints a black 2017 suburban SUV was missing this according to The Nanny so the very
00:34:21
smart New Canaan PD contacted the Connecticut State Police Western District Major Crime Squad
00:34:30
for investigative and crime-scene processing so almost immediately this is a joint criminal investigation between
00:34:38
the New Canaan PD and the Connecticut State Police yeah plus we at some point we're going to get others involved and
00:34:47
this will include federal and other local agencies at 69 Wells Lane this whole place
00:34:56
now obviously captain is a crime scene police quickly established a timeline of Jennifers morning first she drove her
00:35:06
suburban and dropped the kids off at school this at 7:58 a.m. surveillance footage collected from the area shows
00:35:15
returned home immediately thereafter arriving at 8:05 a.m. parking the suburban in the garage the door closed
00:35:24
behind her she was not seen after that time and no other vehicles left from or arrived to the home until the suburban
00:35:35
left again at 10:25 a.m. even more troubling around 8:30 p.m. that night at Waverley Park this is just three miles
00:35:48
from the home Jennifer suburban was found abandoned the black one yeah so this is a 300 acre
00:35:58
park in New Canaan and it's a fancy park there are wooded areas but it's a city park not a State Forest right at this
00:36:08
time the New Canaan police issued a Silver Alert for Jennifer and her family issued a statement to the public as well
00:36:16
asking for help and or witnesses so by this time captain law-enforcement are searching both the park and the home
00:36:26
let's go through their findings crime scene techs at the home went to work swabbing the garage and surfaces inside
00:36:35
the home as well they found blood spatter in the garage on the wall and on the driver's side door of the Range
00:36:42
Rover as well as a large stain or stains on the garage floor that appeared to be
00:36:49
cleaned up blood this was wiped in a manner that left obvious stains to the trained eye partial bloody shoeprint
00:36:59
impressions are found on the garage floor droplets of blood were in various spots on the exterior of the Range Rover
00:37:08
well it seems like there was blood evidence all over this garage there was even blood that was found on the both
00:37:15
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
00:37:24
little side note here there are many news articles that state that blood was found
00:37:29
on a tablet and cell phone which was found in the master bedroom this is not true it's not true a tablet and cell
00:37:39
phone were found in the master bedroom they were taken into evidence but they didn't have blood on them and to push it
00:37:46
a step further it's unclear whose phone and tablet this was right inside the house there was no indication of a
00:37:55
struggle or confrontation the attack seemed to have been limited to just the garage as for the suburban that was
00:38:03
found in the park when it was located it's lights it's running lights were on and it's transmission was in Reverse
00:38:11
blood spatter and other blood evidence was found on both the interior and exterior of the vehicle including the
00:38:19
rear cargo area the Weather Tech hashtag not a sponsor rear cargo mat was missing
00:38:26
from the vehicle hashtag can't be a sponsor if the money's right I love weather tech investigators fooled
00:38:33
Jennifer's cell phone records and determine the following the last text from her phone was to the nanny to
00:38:41
Lauren at 757 a.m. on the morning of the 24th yeah then the phone left the wells
00:38:48
Lane home around 10:30 a.m. and arrived at the Waverly Park around 10:30 8 a.m. it remained there in the same location
00:38:59
in the park until it was disconnected from the network at 11:09 a.m. when it last pinged near a tower on a tower I'm
00:39:10
sorry near the park the phone has never been located that we know of if it has been found we've not been told that by
00:39:20
police right police did the man they did so much work in this case it's very impressive
00:39:27
not only how much work they did but how quickly they moved and how smart their movements in tactics were here they
00:39:34
collected surveillance footage from nearly 80 sources primarily this would be neighbors and businesses near
00:39:42
Jennifer's home and the park right so they got footage from all the major roadways in between
00:39:49
New Canaan and the Farmington area video showed that at around 10:25 a.m. a black
00:39:57
2017 Chevy Suburban pulled out a Jennifer's garage and drove off various cameras captured it driving
00:40:05
a route toward the park where it was eventually found police surmised that Jennifer's phone was inside the vehicle
00:40:12
because her cell phone arrived in the park area at 10:38 a.m. basically the same time as noted this footage showed
00:40:23
no vehicles arriving or leaving Jennifer's property other than her black suburban so it looks like the person or
00:40:31
persons involved in her disappearance and this is from others others statements kuo entered the residence
00:40:40
from an area not covered by surveillance cameras and quote according to police records surveillance footage also
00:40:47
captured a vehicle traveling northbound on the Merritt Parkway going away from the park and toward Farmington this at
00:40:57
11:12 a.m. just three minutes after Jennifer's phone went off of the network so according to the time frame police
00:41:07
had now established there was a 30 minute gap between wind Jennifer's phone arrived at the park and when it was shut
00:41:15
down at 11:09 a.m. right and then three minutes later just three minutes later someone is seen on video driving away at
00:41:26
101 a.m. on May 25th the New Canaan PD called Fotis doulas and asked him some very basic questions one of these was
00:41:38
the date of his last visit to New Canaan right he responded that it was on May 22nd when he at last had a supervised
00:41:47
visit with his children the day after Jennifer was reported missing May 25th Fotis met with New Canaan police
00:41:57
at headquarters this was at 2:40 in the afternoon he was very polite in the manner that he showed up about three
00:42:07
hours late for the scheduled meeting detectives had to sit there waiting on him now upon request foetus did hand
00:42:16
over his iPhone and gave them the passcode to the phone but right he very quickly demanded it be returned when he
00:42:25
realized they intended to keep it like like we didn't want to just look at this for a couple seconds dude we were gonna
00:42:32
analyze your phone and he's like oh crap I need that back well he was this embarrassed by all the dick pics he had
00:42:38
saved the police informed foetus that he had that they had secured his phone with
00:42:46
the intention of obtaining a warrant to search its contents basically they're saying we don't have the warrant yet
00:42:52
you've handed us your phone you want it back we only asked for it because we intend on getting a search warrant and
00:42:59
I'm sure they're probably telling him there's no reason why we wouldn't be able to secure this warrant you you
00:43:05
you're at a loss here buddy so immediately when this goes down Fotis says end of interview and he leaves now
00:43:12
he did have an attorney present for all of this this going on here now a forensic exam of foetus is cellphone
00:43:21
plus a second phone that he was required to turn over pursuant to the search warrant that we just mentioned gave
00:43:28
police some more information according to the search and seizure affidavit foetus his phone had answered a call on
00:43:37
the morning of May 24th that's the morning in question at 8:24 a.m. but Fotis attorney made several public
00:43:45
statements about foetus having an alibi phone call presumably this was it supposedly a call from a friend in
00:43:54
Greece but there was more they also discovered the following from approximately 10:00 p.m. on May 23rd
00:44:01
until 116 p.m. on the 24th photos his phone was at his residence at for Jefferson crossing
00:44:11
again is also his office right the alarm on the cellphone had gone off at 4:20 a.m. on the 24th and was manually shut
00:44:21
off immediately thereafter the phone stayed at the home and received incoming calls and texts but showed no outgoing
00:44:29
activity at 1:16 p.m. the cellphone left focuses residence and traveled to another home owned by his company the
00:44:40
four group this was at 80 Mountain Spring Road in Farmington 2.1 miles away it arrived there at 1:30 7 p.m. the
00:44:50
phone stayed there for more than two and a half hours before traveling back to for Jefferson crossing this at 4:17 p.m.
00:44:59
then at 5:21 the phone returned to the mountain Spring Road home and then went back to Jefferson Crossing again then at
00:45:09
7:10 p.m. the phone traveled to Albany Avenue and Hartford Connecticut now anybody that has followed this case
00:45:17
knows what's going to go down here because this was all over the news before we get into that a little
00:45:24
explanation of geography is an order here from the upscale Farmington and Avon suburbs where foetus in family had
00:45:34
bounced around from new construction to new construction Albany Avenue is the most direct route into downtown Hartford
00:45:41
in just a matter of four or five miles albany avenue takes travelers directly to the inner city
00:45:50
along with photos phone on albany avenue for half an hour between 710 and 741 p.m. was michelle trakone is's phone
00:46:01
intrigued by this movement of the phones investigators obtained surveillance footage from the hartford pd cameras
00:46:10
that are located throughout the city right this is going to be able to tell them how many people are in the car
00:46:15
possibly yeah in the vehicle that we're talking about the footage captured a black Ford Raptor pickup truck making
00:46:23
multiple stops multiple times of multiple locations those are expensive trucks this is along
00:46:29
several miles of Albany Avenue now this surveillance footage did not capture the
00:46:35
license plate of the vehicle but police were able to determine that the wraptor bore many similarities to one owned by
00:46:43
phonus Dulles video footage showed several black trash bags in the bed of the truck so what was this truck doing
00:46:51
driving along stopping every hundred yards or so well they could see a Caucasian male wearing a baseball hat
00:46:59
and a light-colored shirt emerging from the vehicle at each stop and placing garbage bags and trash receptacles one
00:47:08
portion of the video also captured a woman of thin build leaning out of the truck another piece of video showed the
00:47:16
man inserting an object into a storm drain at the corner of Albany Avenue and Garden Street did you say insuiting I
00:47:25
did okay inserting an item in 13 should have got Morgan to say these lines surveillance footage also showed the man
00:47:34
disposing of a rug or could it be the missing WeatherTech mat from the rear of the suburban investigators pulled video
00:47:44
surveillance from Focuses neighbors homes and see that's the thing that people don't date people's murderous
00:47:53
brains have not caught up to technology yet everybody's got a camera on their on
00:47:59
their doorbell now everybody's got cameras there they're cheap to install we've advertised several great brands on
00:48:06
this show you can put them on your house and guess what if your neighbors are up
00:48:10
to some dirty deeds done dirt cheap done dirt cheap or doing them you know some deep do-it-yourself done dirt I can't
00:48:18
even talk what I'm gonna catch you on camera and that's what we're seeing here captain they see video surveillance from
00:48:26
his neighbor's homes that show the Ford Raptor arriving at for Jefferson crossing at 8:20 that sorry 8:12 that
00:48:34
night right it would have taken about 20 minutes to get back that address from Albany Avenue so this
00:48:41
is all lining up there's a lot of things to suggest that the person that they're
00:48:45
seeing in that Raptor that's making the stops is in fact foetus doulas and his girlfriend at the time yeah we got to
00:48:53
make sure that that is foetus in thirteen well police seized the Raptor this on May 31st it was just one of
00:49:02
several vehicles photos had registered to him on the same day the 31st a week after Jennifer vanished detectives
00:49:11
obtained warrants to collect DNA and fingerprints from foetus doulas and Michelle truck owners who have not been
00:49:20
by this point even remotely helpful in this investigation while detectives sat outside of their house awaiting for the
00:49:31
return of the couple they had a bit of luck you know sometimes you get lucky in these investigations this guy and I'm I
00:49:40
struggle with his first name I think his first name captain is Powell uh-huh but
00:49:45
his last name is guy meaning he's the project manager for photos his company an employee of focuses he drove up in a
00:49:53
vehicle registered to the company this is a Jeep Cherokee detectives inquired as to what he had been doing he told
00:50:03
them that he stopped by focuses other house and Avon to remove the seats from Focuses Porsche this was at Focuses
00:50:13
insistence okay there the seats from this Porsche yeah were in the back of this Jeep this is obviously strange
00:50:24
right right when Michelle and foetus showed up that evening they were ordered to drive to the State Police barracks
00:50:33
there detectives obtained DNA hair and fingerprint samples from both and when they did so they noticed foetus was
00:50:43
covered in poison ivy now of course foetus is a builder his defense no doubt that this could be from
00:50:50
any of his building site but what's interesting here is that within a week of his wife vanishing
00:50:57
right foetus developed symptoms that he was possibly in the woods at some point afterward both were permitted to leave
00:51:05
the police station then just a week after his wife was reported missing foetus doulas was arrested on June 1st
00:51:14
2019 the charges tampering with physical evidence and hindering prosecution so they were able to positively ID him on
00:51:26
that that footage dropping trash can bags into sewers and other places I think that to get a 100% confirmation
00:51:36
that it was in fact him and Michelle they're not 100% on it but they're pretty darn close they got out they got
00:51:43
a lot of things backing up their statement that they say we believe this to be foetus and Michelle right now his
00:51:51
mugshot when he's arrested foetus is head nearly shaved at this time a former neighbor told us that foetus never
00:51:59
shaved his head before so this is weird is he trying to change or disguise himself in some manner yeah we see this
00:52:07
constantly foetus is criminal attorney norm pattice she didn't diet bleached blonde like Scott Peterson did I noticed
00:52:18
you showed up to the garage today fully bald Oh fully shaved that's the work of the Lord
00:52:28
foetus is criminal attorney is his name is norm panis he made public statements that photos could not have been involved
00:52:36
in what happened to Jennifer on the morning of the 24th of May as he had been on the phone this was a call he
00:52:44
took a phone call at this time he also said the photos his girlfriend Michelle truck onus could provide him a complete
00:52:51
alibi for that morning now we should point out though on the day that foetus was arrested Michelle too was arrested
00:52:58
and charged with the same charges during the arrest interview of Michelle Sheetal
00:53:06
old detectives that foetus was home with her on the morning of the 24th and that
00:53:10
they had been intimate in the shower yeah I don't believe a thing this piece of [ __ ] has to say she said that she
00:53:17
made breakfast for her daughter and drove her to school that morning Fotis was in the for group office with
00:53:24
his business lawyer Kent Mawhinney Mawhinney Mulaney something like that at 8:15 a.m. she did errands she ran
00:53:35
errands between 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. this included a drop-off of a purse to a friend who had left it at her and photos
00:53:43
his home the night before a trip to Simsbury stop and shop where she took pictures with the store robot you know
00:53:50
like some stores have a you know a mascot of sorts okay that's what I take this to be the store robot Marty and
00:54:01
another visit she made to a different friend's house she danced around the question of whether Fotis was home all
00:54:08
of this time you know she's simply saying when I left he was still there and his business attorney was there with
00:54:15
him 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
00:54:24
whole morning without fully saying I saw him at the house the entire morning right so she says that at some point she
00:54:34
had lunch with Fotis that day I'm guessing this would be right around the time of when we have the police saying
00:54:40
Fotis his phone finally leaves the house what makes for a decent alibis we know Fotis his phone was by the police's
00:54:48
statements located in that home all morning long until they left for lunch right the problem is all activity on the
00:54:56
phone is coming into the phone none of it is going out she said that later that day Fotis
00:55:03
called her and asked her to come over to the other home this is the 80 Mountain Spring Road house to help clean it for a
00:55:11
showing the next day she brought over a vacuum Swiffer paper towels Clorox and garbage bags
00:55:19
she said she arrived between 2:15 and 3:00 p.m. but we actually know this to be different
00:55:27
it was 137 PM foetus is visible on surveillance footage driving his suburban this is a different suburban
00:55:36
for those keeping score at home over to the mountain spring road house at 136 with Michelle following in the Jeep and
00:55:45
they clearly arrived at the home at 137 we have video footage backing this up right but at some point wasn't her phone
00:55:53
and his phone track together like as far as like the cell phone ping technology yeah they they know this to be the case
00:56:01
and they're going to ask her why you know why is your phone in his phone traveling along Albany Avenue on the
00:56:08
night of May 24th at the same time to which Michelle said foetus wanted to go to Starbucks in West Hartford she
00:56:17
admitted to investigators that Fotis drove the Raptor and that he did stop multiple times to deposit items wrapped
00:56:24
in trash bags into receptacles she told them that she did not know what was in the trash bags and that she really
00:56:33
didn't know what he was doing she said that she was on the phone the entire time and really wasn't paying any
00:56:39
attention Michelle confirmed that the video footage obtained by the police of the
00:56:44
Raptor was in fact of her in photos so she's cooperative on that level yeah but she's yeah that's me that's him
00:56:53
that's his Raptor but I don't know what he was doing and I wasn't paying attention and you think you'd ask we
00:56:59
also have footage that shows this is from the Starbucks that she mentioned it shows the couple entering the store at
00:57:06
7:59 p.m. Fotis and michelle both posted bond and were released from police custody
00:57:15
they were required though to wear ankle monitoring bracelets they were required to remain in the state and to surrender
00:57:23
their passports both of these suit that they got matching bracelets yeah both of
00:57:27
these individuals would be considered flight risk so you you have to take some additional
00:57:33
to make sure that they are going to stay and actually your that you will see them
00:57:38
in court eventually right the next day police executed an unannounced search warrant of Fotis house this is when they
00:57:46
seized the following items various computers servers flash drives and hard drives stop and shop plastic trash bags
00:57:56
seven cell phones and the trash can in the office this is in the trashcan of his office they found a document it
00:58:06
outlined the activities and I'm using air quotes there of foetus and Michelle on Friday May 24th and Saturday May 25th
00:58:16
it mirrored exactly what Michelle told investigators about foetus being home with her and photos having a meeting
00:58:24
with his business lawyer this appears to be a cheat sheet to help them prepare for the interrogation you know let's get
00:58:33
our stories straight now police want to talk to Michelle again because a ZZ Top would say they got me under pressure
00:58:42
mm-hmm her story is going to change she admits that she cannot account for focus's whereabouts on the day in
00:58:52
question from about 8:00 a.m. until noon or maybe even 1:00 p.m. she goes on to tell the detect detectives when she woke
00:59:00
up at 6:40 a.m. Fotis was home but he left the house soon thereafter and left his cell phone
00:59:07
in the home office she says sometime around 1:00 they had a quick lunch before Fotis left again at
00:59:15
approximately 3:00 p.m. she received the call from Fotis asking her to bring the
00:59:22
cleaning supplies to the mountain spring road property again we know that this was closer to 115 at around 4:00 p.m.
00:59:31
photos his employee guy Meany arrived and again we have video footage to suggest that this was actually at 5 p.m.
00:59:39
at around 5:20 p.m. she says she went home detectives confronted Michelle with the
00:59:47
and written notes that they had found in the trash Michelle admitted to investigators that this list of specific
00:59:54
times and activities was written by her and foetus to quote help them remember and quote what they did on the 24th she
01:00:06
said these were all false the notes were false detectives referred to the notes as the alibi script right so how are
01:00:16
they false there's she's saying somebody else made them up well remember her story changes hmm the the notes that
01:00:24
they find on this document are of the first story that she gives to detectives now once they're showing hey we got
01:00:32
evidence that this stuff isn't real she's walking it back right and saying look okay this these are false
01:00:40
statements that we wrote on these notes this was - yes it was to help us remember what we did that day but
01:00:45
they're they're all a lie she admitted to detectives that Fotis said to her at one point in their relationship that I
01:00:54
hope Jennifer disappears detectives told Michelle that they believed Fotis killed
01:00:59
Jennifer and involved Michelle by making her clean up she said quote I hate him because of that
01:01:08
end quote she also said and this this is weird that she had been cleaning the house not cleaning Jennifer take that
01:01:18
for what you will but I find that statement to be what disturbing well she's basically implying
01:01:24
that she was cleaning the house and that Fotis was cleaning the body of Jennifer
01:01:30
investigators said Michelle continued to provide answers which were vague evasive
01:01:36
and contradictory they believed that she was withholding a significant amount of
01:01:43
information and they also said that they had identified several aspects which indicate a significant amount of
01:01:52
pre-planning prior to this crime the detectives returned to the Jefferson Crossing house
01:02:00
Michelle on June 7th they were seen searching the woods behind the home we don't know if anything was found during
01:02:10
these searches but it appears not only is she walking back her statements and changing her story that she might be
01:02:17
working with police at this time pal guy Meany now remember he's the guy that removed the car seats from the Porsche
01:02:26
placing them in the back of the Jeep I mean II told them meaning investigators the following he says on
01:02:34
May 24th he was working a four group construction site in New Canaan this is three point four miles from Jennifer's
01:02:44
house he was driving the Ford Raptor registered to the fore group each day of that week earlier that week on Monday
01:02:54
the 20th guy Meeny parked his own vehicle this is a red Toyota Tacoma in the driveway of Focuses place and drove
01:03:03
the Raptor most of the week this apparently is normal practice he typically would switch out the vehicles
01:03:10
at the end of the work week on the 23rd he did not see photos all day until he received a text at 213 when he was asked
01:03:22
if guy meanie was planning on returning to the office guy meanie got there around 4:30 and says no one was home so
01:03:31
he proceeded over to the house at 80 Mountain Spring Road also owned by the for group arriving at 4:58 when guy
01:03:40
meaning arrived he was surprised to find photos and Michelle at the home and asked them what they were doing they
01:03:47
responded that they were cleaning guy meanies tacoma his truck was there as well i mean IAM Fotis left at 502 to
01:03:56
shuttle the two for group vehicles the Raptor and a black suburban back to for Jefferson crossing Michelle stayed
01:04:05
behind with the white Jeep and guy me nice Tacoma Fotis then drove guy meanie back to
01:04:14
Mountain spring road to pick up his own vehicle the Tacoma but it was locked Michelle had locked it and taken the
01:04:21
keys photos asked guy meanie to just keep the Raptor over the weekend and he foetus would return the Tacoma to guy
01:04:30
meaning later right guy Meany decline and foetus had to call Michelle at 5:16 p.m. to drive over with the keys guy
01:04:40
Meany got into his own vehicle the Tacoma and drove home this may seem on the surface as a lot of nonsense but
01:04:47
really captain what does this look like took to me it looks like foetus is trying to set up a situation where he is
01:04:57
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
01:05:06
arrest warrant detectives have identified the vehicle used in the commission of the crime as a 2001 toyota
01:05:15
tacoma guy Meany said that he had been told by photos to discard the old seats in his tacoma take out the seats of your
01:05:22
truck man and throw him away and replace them with seats taken from my Porsche this plus the fact that foetus had
01:05:30
access to the vehicle all week made detectives extremely suspicious yeah they went back and pulled surveillance
01:05:37
footage along likely routes between Dulles as residents and the crime scene and sure enough they found the red
01:05:47
Tacoma belonging to guy Meany traveling at various points between Farmington and
01:05:52
Lapham Road in New Canaan on May 24th specifically the red Tacoma traveled southbound on Merritt Parkway and went
01:06:01
to New Canaan a school bus dashcam video spotted the Tacoma parked at 7:40 a.m. at a turnaround on Lapham Road this is
01:06:13
100 feet from where Jennifer's suburban was found so if somebody attacked her in
01:06:22
the garage placed her in and presumably killed her there right placing her in her own suburban
01:06:31
drove it and moved it to the park who knows where it went you know now we have this vehicle parked a hundred feet away
01:06:40
that you could use as some type of getaway vehicle if you needed to leave the suburban there so the rich the red
01:06:48
Tacoma was seen on video on the Merritt Parkway this is northbound in New Canaan
01:06:54
at 11:12 a.m. the rim of a bicycle is visible in the back of the truck it turned into the driveway at 80 Mountain
01:07:07
Spring Road at 12:22 p.m. so detectives used the toyota tacoma footage as well as the footage obtained earlier of
01:07:16
Jennifer's suburban to into conclude the following foetus is believed to have been lying in wait at 69 Wells Lane for
01:07:26
Jennifer to return home the crime and cleanup are believed to have occurred between 805 and 10:25 a.m. doulas is
01:07:35
believed to have been operating the victim's vehicle the suburban which is carrying the body of Jennifer doulas and
01:07:44
a number of other items associated with the crime which occurred in the garage of the residence now Lauren ala media
01:07:53
the she's the nanny detectives interviewed her at length amongst other details she said a couple of days before
01:08:02
Jennifer disappeared photos showed up hours early for a supervised visit with the kids so this visitation was always
01:08:11
on the same schedule and he's early but he's acting confused like he doesn't know that he's pleased um yeah so Lauren
01:08:21
said that on the morning of the 24th she arrived at Jennifer's house this at 11:30 a.m. she noticed that the suburban
01:08:30
at this time was gone but the Range Rover was still there as we know parked in the garage she saw Jennifer's purse
01:08:38
on the floor in the doorway between the mud and the kitchen and Jennifer's mug of
01:08:44
tea in an unopened granola bar were on the kitchen counter Lauren washed the mug and as she reached for a paper towel
01:08:53
she noticed that the roll was depleted so she went to get another from the 12-pack she had purchased the previous
01:09:02
day to her astonishment only two rolls were left as she stated two detectives quote I sat there and wondered what
01:09:12
happened last night that they used 10 rolls of paper towels yeah very fishy Lauren also said that
01:09:18
she noticed the rear mudroom door which led outside it was unlocked which is extremely strange this is a door that
01:09:27
was always kept locked throughout the day the day in question she said she texts and called Jennifer never getting
01:09:36
any answer or response meanwhile Jennifer was missing appointments just before 7:00 p.m. she and Jennifer's
01:09:44
friend Laura Watts decided to call the police department now they told officers that Jennifer was missing and she was
01:09:52
going through a divorce with a man this is one part that we left out earlier who
01:09:56
had threatened her in the past and they knew him to own a firearm detectives had Lauren view crime-scene
01:10:04
photos of the garage and she was very familiar with the setup there and in fact had just cleaned the garage for
01:10:13
Jennifer on the 21st so just three days earlier she noted that two things were missing one was a cleaning supply bucket
01:10:22
full of cleaning materials that would be used by the housekeeper the second item
01:10:28
that was missing was a set of camping pillows that would be used by the kids as we said investigators conducted
01:10:37
testing of the house at wells Lane the evidence collected there according to one of the arrest warrants was a mixture
01:10:45
of biological material of the victim Jennifer Dulles and that of her husband foetus dualists Jennifer's blood was
01:10:55
all over the garage and focuses DNA was found in a smear of Jennifer's blood left on the kitchen faucet inside the
01:11:05
home and that's important because he was ordered not to go in that house correct
01:11:10
so looking at this you're thinking okay this attack occurred Jennifer lost this fight Fotis probably
01:11:20
was the attacker and whatever happened he may have went inside afterwards and washed up tests performed on 14 swabs
01:11:31
taken from the suburban registered to Jennifer that was found in the park provided damning evidence there was
01:11:40
blood inside the vehicle on the upholstery and on the mats this blood did match Jennifer's one like you were
01:11:49
saying - they're driving down a road with multiple bags and disposing them and they they did recover some of them
01:11:57
correct yeah they retrieved the item that was inserted to the storm drain but but not
01:12:04
the trash cans well we'll get into that because that it gets quite a bit complicated this whole story is frankly
01:12:13
complicated but in the storm drain they find a FedEx box inside the box - license plates both plates had altered
01:12:22
numbers and letters somebody somebody dummied them up these plates were expired but at one time had been
01:12:30
registered to foetus doulas right so another piece of evidence suggesting that it was him in fact on that video
01:12:41
not to mention that we have his girlfriend claiming that it was them that they saw in the video they did go
01:12:48
and they they raided let's say those trash cans that you had mentioned they conducted a three-week search of
01:12:56
materials in recycling Authority trash plant in in Hartford this is where all the garbage from those bins and
01:13:05
dumpsters would have eventually ended up the vast majority of the trash collected
01:13:12
from the 24th apparently they're there to burn it in this area had not been burnt yet right because the plant was
01:13:21
this is they got lucky again on the investigation the plant was a day behind schedule because of the Memorial Day
01:13:28
holiday right right so it had not all been fully processed and I guess they run it through some kind of shredding
01:13:37
process before they incinerate it it had gone through this shredder process so this is going to make things again
01:13:46
complicated the amount of garbage from the Albany Avenue area that police using police dogs as well had to sift through
01:13:54
was piled as high as 20 feet over an area half the size of a football field 15 to 20 detectives went through 30 it's
01:14:05
estimated at 30 to 35 tons of trash daily for three weeks police also executed a major search
01:14:14
along Albany Avenue on May 31st utilizing canines and troopers on the ground and air searches as well trying
01:14:24
to find all the things that were dumped by Fotis along his drive in these painstaking searches police were able to
01:14:32
recover some two dozen evidentiary items which included garbage bags containing women's clothing a with a substance on
01:14:43
the items that appeared to be blood plastic zip ties which were stained with what appeared to be blood a white
01:14:51
t-shirt stained with what looked like blood a brawl with blood on it a black leather work glove with bloodstains a
01:15:01
bath towel with red stains cleaning and household goods such as a kitchen sponge
01:15:07
again with red stains these items were submitted to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection forensic
01:15:16
laboratory for forensic testing on June 10th the report from the lab came back the substance on many of the items was
01:15:25
determined to be blood and it was the blood of Jennifer doulas but the chief state's attorney stated in an interview
01:15:35
that police found no evidence of Jennifer's actual body being in the Hartford trash plan
