As this discussion was taking place, Pyetranker handed Dulos the cellphone he was carrying. Detective Allegro Spoke up to ask Dulos, ?Is that your phone?? and Dulos responded affirmatively. Detective Allegro asked to see the phone, and Dulos handed overthe phone with no apparent hesitation. Observing the phone was locked with a four-digit passcode, Detective Allegro asked for the unlock code. Dulos provided the code as and Detective Allegro unlocked the phone.

NCPD surveillance video documented the transaction and showed Dulos appearing agitated and confused. Pyetranker asserted that police had no ?grounds? to seize the cellphone because they had ?no warrant." Detectives acknowledged that a SSW would besought and that the cellphone would not be searched until a lawful SSW had been issued. Their actions were restricted to the securing of the cellphone and the prevention of potential destruction of evidence contained within the phone.

Farmington Stamford Area number Affidavit - Continued 16. ARREST #1 OF FOTIS DULOS MICHELLE TROCONIS: Based on the above facts and circumstances, detectives sought an arrest warrant for Dulos and Troconis on charges stemming from the disposal of evidence in Jennifer's disappearance along Albany Avenue in Hartford. On 06/01/19 arrest warrants for Dulos and Troconis were authorized and executed charging both individuals with Tampering with/or Fabricating Physical Evidence (Sec. C.G.S.) and for Hindering Prosecution in the First Degree (Sec. 53a-165aa(a) C.G.S.). 17. INITIAL INTERVIEW WITH MICHELLE TROCONIS: As of the drafting of this affidavit, Dulos has provided absolutely no cooperation to law enforcement in their investigation into Jennifer's disappearance. Investigators have turned to Dulos' girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, for assistance. Starting on 05/24/19, NCPD personnel reached out several times to Troconis, leaving multiple phone messages for her to call back. Troconis failed to respond to any ofthe NCPD messages. On 06/02/19 detectives conducted the first interview with Troconis at NCPD headquarters following her initial arrest on the above charges. Troconis' attorney, Andrew Bowman, was present in the room during all questioning. During this initial interview, Troconis offered her first version ofthe events of the date ofJennifer's disappearance (Friday 05/24/19) as well as the circumstances leading up to that day. 18. EXPLANATION OF ALIBI SCRIPTS: On 06/03/19 - the day after Troconis' first interview - Crime Van detectives were executing a search warrant at 4 Jefferson Crossing when they located a set of handwritten notes. These documents came to be referred to by investigators as "The Alibi Script.? The two-page document included two distinct handwriting styles which were later confirmed by Troconis to be her own handwriting and that of DUlos. The Alibi Script was an outline of the activities of Troconis and Dulos for the dates 05/24/19 and 05/25/19 laid out in approximately hourly increments. The original, handwritten Alibi Script was recovered from a trash bin in the Fore Group office and photocopies were in a briefcase. The Alibi Script included a narrative which was nearly identical to the information provided by Troconis in her first interview and it represented an account of 05/24/19 and 05/25/19 which Dulos and Troconis together had authored and which narrative Troconis presented nearly verbatim in herfirst interview. In her second two interviews, Troconis? account of those dates diverged from the Alibi Script, particularly when confronted with evidence, much of which was unknown to investigators during the first interview. It is therefore important to describe the various sources of information developed thus far during this investigation. [Interview Starting in her second interview, Troconis provided the following reasons for why she and Dulos had written out the Alibi Scripts: 0 Troconis stated that on either Saturday 05/25/19 or Sunday 05/27/19 she was present for a phone conversation between Dulos and his family attorney, Jacob Pyetranker, in which Pyetranker instructed Dulos to write out a precise-timeline of his actions on Wednesday 05/22/19 - the date of his last visitation with his children which had occurred, in part, at Jennifer's home (69 Welles Lane). Troconis reported the attorney had told Dulos to write down everything he had done during the visit to Jennifer's home.? Pyetranker specifically told Dulos to record whether or not he had entered Jennifer's home. Troconis remembered being surprised that Dulos had been to Jennifer's home that date becaUse Dulos had told herthe visitation occurred at Grace Farms in New Canaan. Troconis continued, "Fotis goes, ?No, I did not go in [the house].' And he [Pyetranker] said, ?Make sure. Where did you guys eat?? Dulos continued to say, no I didn't [go inside the house] but yes, I hugged the kids, we (This is page 7 of a 33 page Affidavit.)

Because you told me you went to Grace [Farms].? Dulos admitted he had gone to Jennifer's house and added they had eaten outside. Troconis reported Dulos had told her, ?Jacob was saying write down everything as you were by the time you spent in Jennifer's house. Where did you eat? Did you put any plates inside the house? Did you do you remember going to the bathroom?? Dulos repeated to Troconis that he had not entered Jennifer's home. - Detectives pointed out that in recording their timelines, both she and Dulos had chosen to omit the trip to dump trash in Hartford, to which Troconis replied, know.? When Troconis was told this ?looked bad,? that she and Dulos had failed to record potentially incriminating information, Troconis replied, ?Ok, I know.? Troconis denied that Dulos had told her to leave certain items out of the script. She reported Dulos had told her to write out the highlights of her day's events. 0 When asked if Dulos was dictating what story Troconis should tell police, she responded, ?Well, obviously was for me to say it but he was trying to be more accurate but with a lie. With a lie a lie. That's what I'm saying. He was trying to fill things that I don't remember with things that didn't it wasn't true.? 19. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: Troconis submitted to two subsequent voluntary interviews in the presence of her attorney in which she presented vastly different accounts of the events of 05/24/19. Additionally, the later seizure and search warrant execution on Dulos and Troconis' cellphone provided another source of information. Detectives also secured various sources of residential and commercial surveillance footage. Therefore, these sources of information for Troconis included: 1. Interview #1 (Date: 06/02/19) 2. Alibi Scripts (Date: 06/03/19) 3. Interview #2 (Date: 06/06/19) 4. Interview #3 (Date: 08/13/19) 5. Troconis Cellphone Data 6. Dulos Cellphone Data 7. Residential Surveillance 20. TROCONIS INTERVIEW CLAIMS: In each of her interviews, Troconis offered claims which conflicted with her other interviews, and even, sometimes, portions of that same interview. When confronted with conflicts in the information she was providing, whether they be inconsistencies with other answers or contradictions to surveillance sources, Troconis would only provide ?more truthful? information, sometimes modifying or changing her answer in the middle of it. 21. WHEREABOUTS: During her three interviews, Troconis provided a variety of explanations when asked if Dulos was home at 4 Jefferson Crossing in Farmington when she awoke the morning of 05/24/19.

She told investigators that she and Dulos had showered and were intimate together before she made breakfast for her daughter and then drove her to school. Note: This is inconsistent with information from the forensic download of Dulos? [8625] cellphone which indicated on 05/24/19 the alarm activated at 4:20 AM and was shut off at 4:21 AM. When pressed on whether Dulos was home that morning, Troconis admitted, ?So, maybe he [Dulos] wasn't home? the entire morning. But Troconis continued to still provide Dulos with an alibi for that morning from 6:40 AM until 8:15 AM. She reported last seeing Dulos that morning at 8:15 AM in the Fore Group office with Mawhinney. Troconis explained that she was out of the house from 9:00 AM to 11: 30 AM, which provides her with plausible deniability for that time period. When asked to clarify if Dulos was home on the morning of 05/24/19, Troconis did not answer the question. Instead, she immediately began telling investigators what SHE had been doing by saying, ?All my morning I have doing He was in the house I have texts.?

Troconis was asked if Dulos is at the home when she woke up at 6:40 AM, Troconis first reported, ?He was there when we woke up. He was in the house.? When Troconis was told investigators had evidence showing Dulos was not in the house, Troconis replied, "Okay.? Troconis proceeded to cover her face with her hands, wipe her eyes, and then tried to change the subject. Troconis' attorney, Andrew Bowman, tried to clarify with Troconis to see if she actually saw Dulos on the morning of 05/24/19.

FORE GROUP MEETING CELLPHONE: Troconis told investigators in her first interview that there was a Fore Group meeting on the morning of 05/24/19 in the office area of 4 Jefferson Crossing which was attended by Dulos and Kent Mawhinney. Troconis' account was contradicted by her subsequent claims and by Mawhinney.

And finally, Troconis reported she only heard Mawhinney talking but did not see or hear Dulos. 0 Troconis stated she greeted Mawhinney in the Fore Group office that morning.

Troconis added that she had greeted Mawhinney by saying, 0 When Troconis was asked if she knew the whereabouts of Dulos' cellphone that morning, she replied that she thought Dulos had his cellphone. When asked if Dulos would normally carry his cellphone with him, Troconis responded, ?Yes and no but a lot yes.? Troconis answered that it would be unusual for Dulos to be without his phone even for a few hours. Troconis left open the possibility that Dulos had left his cellphone behind "accidentally.? But when questioned, Troconis reported Dulos had not told her he forgot his cellphone on 05/24/19.

Upon seeing Mawhinney, she said good morning to him and he had responded, "Hello, good morning.? Troconis then noticed that Dulos? cellphone was sitting on the table and she found it unusual that the cellphone was there at a time when Dulos was not present and his whereabouts were unknown to her. A Under repeated questioning by detectives, Troconis was unwilling to say that Dulos was NOT at the residence. She would only say that she did not see Dulos during the morning - not in the bedroom, not in the kitchen, not in the Fore Group office - and that she did not know his whereabouts during the entire morning. Having seen his phone on the desk, Troconis reported she had assumed Dulos was at the residence: thought he [Dulos] was [there] because Kent was there but I didn't see him [Dulos]. I didn't see him.? Troconis later added, ?Back then I always thought he [Dulos] was in the house but thinking I never saw him I never heard his voice. So obviously he wasn't or probably he wasn't in the house.? 23. INCOMING PHONE CALL FROM ANDREAS TOUTZIARIDIS: Dulos' phone records showed an incoming call to his cellphone on 05/24/19 at 8:24 AM.

According to Troconis, Mawhinney motioned for her to answer the cellphone. In answering a question from Attorney Bowman, Troconis responded, ?He [Mawhinney] said like, ?There's a phone ringing. Are you going to do something with the phone or the call?' and I picked up the phone.? Troconis stated she knew Toutziaridis - a childhood friend of Dulos who lives in Greece - but that she was not sure if it was Toutziaridis calling. Troconis also indicated she heard static when she answered the cellphone, and that it was difficult to hear. Troconis reported she then heard the Greek word for hello, and she responded, ?Hola? - the Spanish word for hello. Troconis explained that the call was "short? and lasted only a few seconds before ending. [Dulos' cellphone data shows a 17 second phone call.] Troconis stated, ?And I'm pretty sure it was Andreas' voice.?

On her way home, Troconis stopped by an additional address in West Simsbury where she met with a different friend, providing a third alibi. 0 When asked if Dulos was home on the morning of 05/24/19, Troconis responded by telling detectives that her locations were substantiated by photographs and texts on her cellphone.

[Interview Without prompting, Troconis provided a description of the clothing she was wearing at the Simsbury Stop Shop to help investigators identify her on store surveillance, [Interview Detectives continued to question Troconis about the Alibi Scripts, which Troconis admitted having written with Dulos. Although she appeared to deflect more of the onus for writing the document onto Dulos, investigators pointed out that he wrote notes for ?Michi? (Michelle) which were false. Troconis grudgingly admitted that portions of the Alibi Scripts were factually inaccurate and that she had, nonetheless, provided these falsehoods to police as facts. 25.

Barbara had her own vehicle and did not drive the Toyota truck. According to Gumienny, the vehicle had some mechanical issues but was reliable enough for him to use to drive the approximate nine- mile trip to Dulos' residence in Farmington.

The third eight-hour interview took place on 07/12/19 at the Troop Barracks during which Gumienny was accompanied by defense attorney Lindy Urso. Following this first interview and with the permission of Attorney Urso, Gumienny provided information to detectives on several subsequent occasions. The information provided by Gumienny over the course of these conversations includes the following: - Gumienny explained Dulos told him he would get in trouble if he talked to police because Gumienny only had a ?Green Card? - a Permanent Resident Card. Dulos contacted an attorney on behalf of Gumienny who, in turn, referred Gumienny to Attorney Urso. Gumienny routinely drives a Fore Group vehicle during his work week. He would leave the Toyota Tacoma at the Fore Group office (4 Jefferson Crossing) and would leave the key either in the Fore Group office or the kitchen of the residence. 0 On either 05/17/19 or on 05/20/19 Dulos asked Gumienny if he could move Gumienny's truck to 80 Mountain Spring Road because the truck was leaking oil. 0 On 05/23/19 Dulos told Gumienny to forego stopping at the Fore Group office on the following morning because Dulos was having a meeting with his divorce lawyer. Dulos told Gumienny he was to drive straight to New Canaan on 05/24/19. Gumienny stated he routinely does not stop at the office unless he needed to pick up something. 0 On the morning of 05/24/19 Gumienny Vvas operating the 2014 Ford Raptor registered to Fore Group and loaned to him the previous day by Dulos. The Raptor OnStar module download showed the vehicle being shifted into drive at 7:55 AM at or near Gumienny's residence in Simsbury. 0 Gumienny's and Dulos' cellular records show a text conversation between the men which occurred on 05/24/19 at 2:13 PM in which Dulos asked Gumienny when he was returning to the. office.

Gumienny's Toyota Tacoma remained in the driveway he noticed the car key was sticking out ofthe passenger door lock. Gumienny drove first to 585 Deercliff Road, then to 4 Jefferson Crossing to pick up Dulos before returning to 80 Mountain Spring Road to pick up his Toyota truck. When they arrived, Gumienny realized the sole key to his Toyota, which minutes before had been seen by him protruding from the passenger door, was now gone. Dulos asked Gumienny if he wanted to take the Ford Raptor home. But Gumienny told Dulos he wanted to put his dirt bike in the bed of his Toyota and take it home. Dulos called Troconis and told her to bring back the key, and Troconis arrived a few minutes later with the key. On Sunday 05/26/19 Dulos spoke with Gumienny and told him Jennifer was missing. He went on to ask Gumienny when he would be returning to work. As the next day was Memorial Day, Gumienny told Dulos he would be back to work on Tuesday. When Gumienny arrived at work on 05/28/19, he walked into Dulos' kitchen and handed him the key to his Toyota, as he would be using a Fore Group vehicle for the work week. Dulos asked Gumienny where he was on Friday, which Gumienny found to be a strange question because he knew where Gumienny was - he was working at the 61 Sturbridge Hill Road job site in New Canaan as Dulos had told him to do. Dulos told Gumienny that police had seized his phone and he asked to see Gumienny's phone because he wanted to check to see if Gumienny had called him during the early portion of Friday. As he looked through Gumienny's phone, Dulos asked Gumienny how he had gotten back to the Fore Group office on Friday. As Gumienny reviewed that Friday afternoon, he mentioned the aspect of how Dulos had called Troconis to return the Toyota key to 80 Mountain Spring Road. Dulos told Gumienny there was "no reason to bring Michelle into this, and to leave that part out.? Gumienny took that to mean Dulos was telling him not to tell police about Troconis having possession of the Toyota key. Following the conversation, Gumienny went to his truck to get a toolbox and saw a red pail with a blue hoodie inside it. Gumienny did not recognize the pail or the sweatshirt. Assuming the items belonged to Dulos, Gumienny brought the items into the house and left them in the laundry room. Gumienny then drove the Fore Group Jeep to 61 Sturbridge Hill Road in New Canaan to work for the day. On Wednesday 05/29/19 Gumienny discovered his Toyota was not parked where he had left it at 4 Jefferson Crossing. When he called Dulos to inquire where his truck was, Dulos told him he was coming back with the vehicle from a car wash. When he arrived back at Jefferson Crossing with the truck, Dulos began telling Gumienny he should replace the (This is page 24 of a 33 page Affidavit.)

Farmington Stamford Area number Affidavit - Continued seats or sell the entire truck. Dulos offered to sell Gumienny the Fore Group Jeep but Gumienny declined. When Gumienny got into the Tacoma he realized that the vehicle had not just been washed but had been detailed as well. At some point during that week, Dulos called Gumienny to tell him that the media was outside his house. He told Gumienny to come get the Toyota and to park it inside the garage or to take the truck home. On 05/30/19 Dulos told Gumienny he should go to a junk yard to buy replacement seats for the Toyota and pay cash for them. Dulos told him he would reimburse whatever the cost was to Gumienny in cash. Dulos also told Gumienny that during future phone calls he was to avoid using the word "seats? and should, instead, refer to the seats as ?hardware.? On 05/31/19, at Dulos' urging, Gumienny went to a junkyard and spent two hours looking for seats to replace those currently in his Toyota. After his search was unsuccessful, Gumienny received a phone call from Dulos who was inquiring on his progress on the ?hardware.? Gumienny responded that he was working on it. When Gumienny returned to the office, Dulos appeared angry that he had failed to find replacement seats, and he described Dulos as being "firm" in his viewpoint the seats needed to be replaced. When Gumienny asked Dulos why he wanted him to change the seats, Dulos told Gumienny not to worry about it, that nothing happened, and repeated he should not worry about it. Gumienny pressed Dulos on why he had cleaned the Tacoma and why he was insisting on the seats being changed. Dulos then told Gumienny the reason lay in the fact that when he went. to Jennifer's house on Mother's Day, he had given Jennifer a hug, adding he had also held Jennifer's cat during the visit. Dulos claimed he was worried that one ofiennifer's hairs could be found in the Tacoma. Dulos told Gumienny to change the Tacoma seats and get rid of the old ones ?so no one would ever find them.? The only alternative Gumienny could think of was to use the seats from Dulos' wrecked Porsche, which he removed on 05/31/19. After removing the Tacoma seats and substituting the Porsche seats, he remained suspicious about Dulos' claimed reasons for having the seats removed. Instead of getting rid of the seats, Gumienny kept the seats in the garage of his residence ?in case the police ever wanted to take them.? On 06/06/19 personnel were executing a Search Seizure Warrant at Gumienny's residence involving the seizure of his Toyota Tacoma. Without prompting, Gumienny advised Sergeant Al Bisson that the seats had been changed subsequent to Jennifer's 05/24/19 disappearance. Gumienny offered the seats installed in the Tacoma at the time ofthe crime to Sgt. Bisson, who seized them using a written Consent to Search form signed by Gumienny. During the 07/12/19 interview, Gumienny was shown a surveillance picture of the Toyota Tacoma which he immediately identified without hesitation as his truck. Gumienny displayed what appeared to be genuine surprise upon learning his Toyota was caught on surveillance in New Canaan on 05/24/19. In identifying his own vehicle, Gumienny pointed out specific aspects on the vehicle, including a unique plow mount which he had handmade. (This is page 25 of a 33 page Af?davit.)

LAUREN ALMEIDA: Detectives interviewed Lauren Almeida, the long-time childcare employee hired by Jennifer starting in May of 2013 as a fulltime nanny working with the five Dulos children, working closely with Jennifer until the day of her disappearance. On Tuesday May 21, 2019, Ms. Almeida worked at Jennifer's home located at 69 Welles Lane in New Canaan cleaning up the third [south] garage bay by stacking the children's equipment on shelves. On Wednesday May 22, 2019, Ms. Almeida was at 69 Welles Lane preparing for a supervised visit which was scheduled to start at 4:30 PM. Thirty minutes prior to Dulos' scheduled arrival, Jennifer ran down the stairs saying that Dulos had already arrived. By the time Jennifer contacted Dulos, he had driven all the way up the driveway and was near the garage bays. He claimed he was ?confused? about the time ofthe visit, despite the routine time of 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM being established and confirmed by Dulos well in advance. Dulos was also aware he was not to enter the property of 69 Welles Lane prior to the arrival of Dennis Puebla, the third-party observer, or Puebla's designee. A The plan for the 05/22/19 visitation was for Dulos to take the children to Grace Farms in New Canaan for a picnic. Dulos suddenly realized that Grace Farms closed at 6:00 PM that date and gained Jennifer's permission to return to 69 Welles Lane to picnic with the children outside the house in the rear yard. Jennifer's agreement was . partially attributable to the fact that Sidnee Streater - a third party observer and designee of Puebla would be at the home monitoring Dulos at all times. Jennifer and Ms. Almeida took steps to ensure Dulos did not enter the residence as Jennifer was strictly opposed to Dulos ever entering the home. They placed the food out on the rear patio table and locked the rear mudroom door to prevent Dulos from entering the kitchen. (This is page 26 of a 33 page Af?davit.)

Farmington Stamford Area number 01 Affidavit - Continued On 05/23/19 Jennifer discussed the possibility of Ms. Almeida staying overnight at 69 Welles Lane as Jennifer had an early doctor appointment in the city the next morning. Jennifer ultimately decided she would stay in New Canaan, bring the children to school per usual, then leave for the appointment. She told Ms. Almeida it would not be necessary for her to stay at Welles Lane that night. Jennifer also told Ms. Almeida she was planning on taking the Range Rover to the city because it was smaller and easier to park than the Suburban. On 05/24/19 Ms. Almeida arrived at 69 Welles Lane at 11:30 AM. As usual, she opened the center bay garage door via the keypad and immediately noticed the Range Rover was still parked in the garage while the Suburban was gone. Upon entering the kitchen, she noticed Jennifer's handbag was on the floor in the doorway between the mudroom and kitchen, and she found Jennifer's unopened granola bar and mug of tea on the kitchen counter. As she washed Jennifer's mug, Ms. Almeida noticed the paper towel roll nearthe sink needed replacement. She went to the pantry for a new roll and found only two fresh rolls were left. Ms. Almeida found this ?incredibly strange? becausejust the night before she had placed a brand-new pack of twelve rolls in the pantry. Ms. Almeida wrote, sat there and wondered what had happened last night that they used ten rolls of towel rolls.? After picking up four ofthe children, as the fifth went directly to a friend's home, Ms. Almeida returned to Welles Lane and fed the children lunch in the kitchen. At 12:43 PM, Ms. Almeida sent a text message to Jennifer which went unanswered. As she and the children prepared to leave the home, Ms. Almeida noticed the rear mudroom door which led outside was unlocked. This door was routinely locked unless the children were playing in the backyard. After locking this door, Ms. Almeida sent another text message to Jennifer at 1:10 PM that she would be arriving in New York City with the children at 2:30 PM. This message also went unanswered. Upon arrival at the apartment ofJennifer's mother, Gloria Farber, Ms. Almeida sent another text to Jennifer announcing their arrival which gleaned no response. At 4:00 PM a call to Jennifer's cellphone went straight to voicemail. Ms. Almeida wrote, ?Immediately my stomach sank, and I had a feeling that something was wrong. In the almost seven years that have worked for Jennifer I NEVER EVER had a hard time reaching her and NEVER had an issue with her phone being off.? After discovering Jennifer never showed for the children's orthodontist appointment at 4:40 PM, Ms. Almeida's reaction was my first thought was that Fotis did something.? After pondering other possible scenarios, Ms. Almeida arrived back atrthe feeling that "something happened and that Fotis was most likely involved.? At this point, Ms. Almeida contacted Gloria Farber and checked with other close friends and relatives ofJennifer, none ofwhom had heard from her. After returning to Gloria Farber's apartment, Ms. Almeida and Jennifer's close friend, Laurel Watts, contacted the New Canaan Police Department to report Jennifer as missing, telling NCPD that a mother of 5 [children] was missing and that she was going through a divorce with a man that has threatened her in the past and owns a gun.?

Farmington Stamford Area number Affidavit - Continued 0 After confirming with NCPD they had spoken with Dulos and it was alright to accept his incoming calls, Ms. Almeida called Dulosat 8:41 PM. Ms. Almeida explained that during the call, ?Fotis never asked me how Jennifer was doing the day previously, or when I had last heard from her, or showed any concern about the fact that Jennifer was missing. Fotis did ask how the kids were doing and asked if I had all the kids at Gloria's apartment.? He went on to remind Ms. Almeida that he had a visitation with the kids at 11:00 AM Saturday morning and that I must bring them to this visit. He told me that I needed to make sure I woke up early enough to leave New York City so that I am not late.? After agreeing to Dulos request Dulos told her that the kids really needed him right now, that this visitation still needed to happen.? 0 On 05/25/19 Dulos' first text to Ms. Almeida arrived at 5:39 AM: [Good Morning] Lauren - any news?? Ms. Almeida replied there was no news. Throughout the day, Dulos called Ms. Almeida and texted her asking about the children, asking if there was any news, and attempts to verify Ms. Almeida was bringing the children for the visitation. On 05/26/19 Dulos continued to text Ms. Almeida about the status of the children and whether they were all together in New York. At noon Dulos showed up unannounced at Gloria Farber's Manhattan apartment and demanded entry. The doorman had already been instructed to prevent Dulos from entering the building due to ongoing family court issues and the fact that Dulos was unwelcome at Gloria Farber's residence. New York City Police responded to the scene and were told by Dulos that his children had been "abducted? and that he was demanding to see them. NYPD officers spoke with New Canaan Police and confirmed that Dulos was prohibited by court order from visiting with his children unsupervised. Dulos was told to leave the property, and ultimately complied. Jennifer's friend, Carrie Luft, filed a Domestic Violence report regarding the incident with NYPD. On 05/27/19 at 5:31 PM Dulos texted Ms. Almeida to check on the children. Following her reply that the children were fine, Dulos texted, ?Thanks for your response - please send me updates every three hours. I do not want to feel that I am pestering you, but please understand that I am the father and lam extremely concerned with the situation.? Dulos did not ask anything about Jennifer and Ms. Almeida provided him 'with no response. 0 During this investigation, Ms. Almeida was shown photographs of the south garage bay taken during Crime Van processing. As she was familiar with the arrangement of items - having set many of them in place herself - Ms. Almeida was asked ifshe noted any changes. She reported that two white camping pillows were missing from the shelves. These camping pillows are never touched and were used only twice by the kids during a school trip. She had noticed the pillows within the past two months while searching for an old towel to use for an activity with the children. In another photograph, Ms. Almeida noticed a cleaning supply bucket was missing from the shelving. The bucket had been either red or white and it contained cleaning supplies used by the housekeeper. Ms. Almeida had placed the bucket on the shelf on 05/21/19 as she cleaned the garage forJennifer. 35. DANA HINMAN: Detectives conducted interviews with many of Dulos? known associates and friends, including Dana Hinman, a long-time friend of Dulos who was present at a barbeque at the waterski pond (230 Old Farms Road, Avon CT) on 05/31/19 when Dulos and Troconis arrived at the pond.

Haines suggested that Dulos and Troconis return to their home. Dulos, however, remained at the pond. Hinman raised the question to Dulos, ?Where is Jennifer?? Dulos'. response was to talk about fifteen thousand dollars in medical bills which Jennifer had accrued. At one point, Hinman remarked the Dulos about breaking news which was coming over his cellphone that detectives were in Hartford'finding trash bags possibly related to the case in city garbage receptacles along Albany Avenue. Hinman wrote, ?Fotis watched the news story and eventually looked up at Michelle and sort of locked eyes with her for a second." Dulos then walked away from the groupand began making calls on his cellphone. Hinman's assumption was that Dulos was talking to his attorney. 36. SIDNEE STREATER: Sidnee Streater was a third-party observer who works with Dennis Puebla to monitor Dulos during the supervised visits with his children. Ms. Streater was the observer present on 05/22/19 at 69 Welles Lane when Dulos brought his children home from Grace Farms and picniCked with them in the rear yard ofJennifer's home. Ms. Streater told police that Dulos never entered Jennifer's residence during the visit. 37. FINANCIALS: Information has been provided pursuant to a court ordered Sharing Agreement with our Law Enforcement Partners pertaining to the apparent financial standing of Fotis Dulos and his business accounts, a portion of which is summarized below. 0 It is noteworthy that Dulos is currently involved in an ongoing civil suit brought against him by Gloria Farber, the mother ofJennifer Farber Dulos, in which 2.5 million dollars is in dispute. This suit was started in 2018 and Dulos was aware of the potential financial exposure at the time ofJennifer's disappearance. 0 Dulos' lending portfolio currently consists of several loan accounts. Multiple lines of credit have a current balance due as of 05/31/2019 of approximately $4,499,847.85. There are also numerous mortgages held against his construction properties. 0 Of note is a Savings Bank of Danbury Line of Credit opened by Dulos under the name of his company [Fore Group Inc.] in March of 2018. The line of credit has'a maximum draw of approximately 2.7 million which was extended as of May 2019 with a balance due of approximately 2.6 million It appears beginning approximately 04/01/18 through 05/31/19 that Dulos began funding the Fore Group Inc. business checking account held at People's United Bank with advances from DSB Line of Credit totaling approximately 1.6 million 0 Also, during this time period, the Fore Group Inc. business account was funded by additional line of credit advances to include People's United Bank loan totaling approximately $530,000.00.

Sec. 36-1. 36-2, 36-3 Name (Last, First, Middle Initial) Residence (Town) of accused Court to be held at (Town) Geographical TROCONIS, Michelle, C. Farmington Stamford Area number Affidavit - Continued In April 2019, at a time when the DSB account was nearing its maximum limit, Dulos received a Wire In for $149,500.00 from SNAP ADVANCE, a Merchant Cash Advance company based in Utah. Also, during the above reference time period, Dulos received threeinsurance checks from Chubb Insurance Company totaling $193,610.64. All three checks were payable to "Fotis and Jennifer Dulos.? Bank records indicated that all three checks were deposited into a joint checking held at People?s United Bank and that Jennifer did not sign the back of any of the three checks. Following each deposit, the funds were immediately withdrawn by means of either a withdrawal slip, or a check made payable to ?Fotis Dulos." All of the above funds were transferred to Dulos' personal account, some of which was then transferred to the Fore Group Inc. business account. No indication was found that any portion of the above proceeds designated by Chubb Insurance Company to ?Jennifer and Fotis Dulos? was transferred to Jennifer. The above advances made up approximately 71% of the overall deposits going into the Fore Group Inc. account for the period of 04/01/2018 through 05/31/2019 totaling approximately 3.5 million The Fore Group Inc. business checking account held at People's United Bankforthe period referenced above had a beginning balance of approximately $277,000.00 to which an additional 3.5 million was deposited allowing approximately 3.7 million in withdrawals. Out ofthe 3.7 million in withdrawals, 1.8 million consisted of checks to payable ?Fotis Dulos.? It appears as the above referenced period progressed, Dulos' debt increased significantly at the same time his ability to support his business through line advances diminished, causing him to seek other means of funding his . business, such as through the Snap Advance Wire- In in April 2019. Also, in March, April, and May 2019 Dulos was not making the interest payments on the loan with People's United Bank and the bank was advancing the remaining minor balance to make the payments due. (Refer to the chart on . the following page for a visual representation of the above information.) As 05/31/19 Dulos' debt exposure totaled approximately $7 million consisting of approximately $4.5 million in balances due on lines of credit in addition to a possible $2.5 million due in a civil lawsuit. It appears that Dulos was failing to make even minimal interest due payments on multiple loans. Each of the (5) Dulos children had a trust fund established by Gloria Farber and her late husband, Hilliard Farber. The total amount ofthese trusts was more than two million dollars. In the event 'ofJennifer's disappearance, and in the subsequent event that Dulos gained custody of his children, Dulos would have expected some level of access to the children?s trust funds, via an intermediary, for such expenditures as room and board, education, and (This is page 30 of a 33 page Af?davit.)
