POLICE REVEALED
TODAY ABOUT THE
SEARCH FOR
JENNIFER DULOS.
JENNIFER DULOS.
Well
Well there was report the police were searching there
today. That was not
true. They searched it
about a year ago.
The Dulos case may
have been out of the
headlines for a
while...but its still
been front and center
in the hearts and
minds of the
residents of the
Farmington River
Valley. Its a case
saddened the state
and captivated the
country...and as we
approach the 1 year
anniversary...is still
taking twists and
turns.

PKG The search to find Jennifer Dulos has
taken us many places
— but never
here. 44 Sky View
Drive. Avon. A $3-
million mansion with
a breathtaking view.
Now owned by this
man, Attorney David
Ford who bought the
home in 2010. Fotis
and Jennifer lived
here briefly while their
home at 4 Jefferson
Crossing was being
built.

built. SOT David Ford, Owner of
44 Sky View Drive:
20:57 When I bought
the house, he was
renting this house
from the previous
owner. So when I
was moving in he
was moving out.
Fast forward to 2018.
A water pipe breaks inside Davids
home...causing a
flood. He showed us
the damage.

Stripped to the studs.

David hired Fotis
construction company the ForeGroup to do the
demolition. FOX61 obtained this copy of the building permit
from Avon.

used to live in the

44 Sky View Drive:
25:02 No...you are
not just going to look
around my house
around my house
what are you going to
look around for? They
said well this is
concerning the
missing Jennifer
Dulos. I said do
whatever you need to
do no problem.
David said he met
Jennifer but couldnt sense any tension in
her personal life.
SOT
David Ford, Owner of
44 Sky View Drive:
22:15 She seemed
like a nice lady. A
nice mom trying to
raise a family.
His most extensive
interaction with Fotis Dulos came following
a day of tubing with
his son on the
Farmington River.
SOT
David Ford, Owner of
44 Sky View Drive:
21:55 Ended up at
the water ski place.
He came by and saw
us and gave us a ride
home. And that was
maybe in 2012. He
was okay.

State
State police told FOX61 they are not actively investigating
the Sky View Drive
home.
But the search for the
missing mother of 5

continues...as alleged
murder co-
conspirators Michelle
Troconis and Kent
Troconis and Kent
Mawhinney await
their legal fate
following the January
suicide of the prime
suspect, Fotis Dulos.
SOT
David Ford, Owner of
44 Sky View Drive:
23:30 Bad enough
that the parents live
with the
consequences of
whatever they did. 5
kids are orphaned
because of it. And
that, to me, is the real
tragedy here.
tragedy here.
And
And here
And here at Jefferson Crossing — these white vans
have been parked
here all day and we
dont know why. They
dont have license
plates. Both State
Police and
Farmington Police
they have no
knowledge of why the
vans are here. This
Sunday will mark the
1 year anniversary of
Jennifers
disappearance.

REMAINED QUIET...

HER COURT
APPEARANCES...
BUT TODAY... HER
ATTORNEY
RELEASED AN
AUDIO RECORDING
OF TROCONIS
SPEAKING IN
SPEAKING IN
SPANISH... HERE'S AN ENGLISH
TRANSLATION OF
HER STATEMENT.
HER STATEMENT. MY NAME IS
MICHELLE TROCONIS. FOR
THE PAST YEAR,
PEOPLE HAVE SAID
MANY THINGS
ABOUT ME - SOME
KIND; SOME
CRUEL. I WAS
ADVISED BY MY
LAWYERS TO
REMAIN QUIET AND
RELY ON THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM,
WHICH IS
VERY
FRUSTRATING FOR
ME BECAUSE
THERE IS A LOT I
WOULD WISH TO
SAY.
IT HAS BEEN
NEARLY A YEAR
SINCE I FIRST
HEARD ABOUT THE
DISAPPEARANCE
OF JENNIFER
DULOS. AS A
MOTHER, I AM
SADDENED FOR
THE LOSS THAT
THESE
FIVE CHILDREN
HAVE SUFFERED,
BEING LEFT
WITHOUT BOTH
PARENTS IN SUCH
A SHORT PERIOD
OF TIME.
BUT DESPITE THE
WAY I HAVE BEEN
TREATED BY THE
POLICE, I KNOW
NOTHING
ABOUT JENNIFER
DULOS
WHEREABOUTS OR
WHAT MAY HAVE
HAPPENED TO
HER. I KNOW THAT
UNDER AMERICAN
LAW, I DONT HAVE
TO PROVE MY
INNOCENCE, BUT
ACTUALLY TO ME IT
FEELS THAT WAY,
DURING ALL THIS
TIME
WHILE UNDER
PUBLIC SCRUTINY.
TO THOSE WHO
ARE QUICK TO
JUDGE PEOPLE
THEY DO NOT
KNOW, LET ME SAY
THIS: IT IS
POSSIBLE TO
MISJUDGE
OTHERS.
MISJUDGE OTHERS. WHETHER OR NOT
FOTIS DULOS
WAS CAPABLE OF
DOING THE THINGS
THE POLICE AND
PROSECUTORS
ACCUSED
PROSECUTORS ACCUSED HIM OF DOING, I DO
NOT KNOW. BUT
BASED ON WHAT I
HAVE LEARNED IN
THE
LAST YEAR, I THINK
IT WAS A MISTAKE
TO HAVE TRUSTED
HIM.

These
These seven women met on Facebook... on a page dedicated
to Justice for
Jennifer.
None of them knew
Jennifer, or the Dulos
family, but the tragic
story touched them
all, and motivated
them to act.
4:23 we just want
everyone to know
that she had not been
forgotten about and
this is why we are all
here.
Caroline is from
Farmington, and
regularly passes by
Fotis Duloss
mansion.
She still goes out
searching the woods
for clues from time to
time.
4:48 once you hear
her story and see
how much of an
amazing mother she
is, it just inspires you
to do everything you
can to try and bring
closure and justice to
the situation.'
But the others are
from other cities and
from other cities and
states... including
manhattan and
western
Massachusetts.
western Massachusetts. They came here
today, because
nearly a year later
they still want justice
for Jennifer.
9:09 'I think, first and
foremost, is finding
her, and that would
give the family a little
closure.
All of the women
who gathered here
today are passionate
advocates for
domestic violence
victims, and they
hope and believed
Jennifers case will
spark change.

I think thats her
greatest legacy, not
only a mother, but
that she will be able
to incite change...'
