Jennifer Dulos case: Fotis Dulos, ex’s arrest warrants reveal chilling new details

Connecticut authorities have yet to find Jennifer Dulos’ body — but new court papers show they have a mountain of chilling potential evidence against her suspect husband.

There are the four 3-foot-long zip ties stained with Jennifer’s blood and found in the black plastic garbage bags that estranged hubby and now-accused murderer Fotis Dulos was caught on video dumping in Hartford the night of his wife’s disappearance, according to arrest warrants made public Tuesday.

“It appears the Zip Ties were used to secure and incapacitate Jennifer Dulos for some time period, during which her blood transferred onto the ties,” the documents state.

“It is reasonable that Jennifer Dulos was alive at the time the Zip Ties were attached to restrain her movements and prevent her escape.”

Jennifer’s DNA was found on a slew of other items stuffed in the bags, too, the papers say, including an Intimissimi bra, an extra-small Vineyard Vines striped shirt, a clear poncho, black Husky work gloves, a mop handle, a sponge, a bath towel and a tangle of black tape.

Then there’s the “large, rigid object’’ that Fotis was caught on tape removing from the bed of his black 2014 Ford Raptor 150 SVT.

“The object was consistent with the appearance of a WeatherTech brand rear cargo liner determined to be missing from Jennifer’s 2017 Chevrolet Suburban,’’ police write in the documents.

Jennifer was last seen dropping their kids off at school the morning of May 24.

Cops believe that she was killed in her garage and home at 69 Welles Lane sometime between when she arrived home after drop-off and 10:25 a.m., the papers show.

Fotis and his alleged accomplice, now-former gal pal Michelle Troconis, were the longtime suspects in the case before their arrests on murder raps Tuesday.

Fotis and his wife had been engaged in a bitter divorce battle.

The new court papers show he was about $7 million in debt and that their kids have a trust fund totaling $2 million from Jennifer’s parents — which he would have access to if his wife disappeared and he were to get custody of the kids, the documents state.

There also was Fotis’ highly suspicious behavior after his wife’s disappearance, the papers allege.

Before Jennifer vanished, Fotis told Troconis that he would sometimes hope Jennifer “disappears,” the gal pal allegedly told investigators.

Police also recovered handwritten notes at Fotis’ house that probers now refer to as “The Alibi Script,” the warrants say.

The “script,’’ in Fotis and Troconis’ handwriting, “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 papers state.

Troconis later “presented nearly verbatim” the narrative in her first interview with cops, the papers say.

She only diverged from the script when confronted with evidence during two follow-up interviews, according to the warrants.

The kids’ longtime nanny, Lauren Almeida, told investigators that when she learned Jennifer was missing, “My first thought was that Fotis did something,” the papers show.

The nanny said she went to Jennifer’s home at 11:30 a.m. that day and “noticed Jennifer’s handbag was on the floor in the doorway between the mudroom and the kitchen.

“She found Jennifer’s unopened granola bar and mug of tea on the kitchen counter,” the papers say.

Noticing the paper towel roll near the sink needed replacement, Almeida said, she went to the pantry to get another — only to see just two rolls left.

“Ms. Almeida found this ‘incredibly strange’ because just the night before she had placed a brand-new pack of twelve rolls in the pantry,” the warrants said.

“Ms. Almeida wrote, ‘I sat there and wondered what had happened last night that they used ten rolls of towel rolls.”

Cops have said Fotis and Troconis feverishly tried to clean up the slay scene after Jennifer’s murder.

The nanny added that when cops gave her permission to call Fotis at 8:41 p.m., he “never asked me how Jennifer was doing the day previously, or when I last heard from her, or showed any concern about the fact that Jennifer was missing.”

Six days after Jennifer went missing, Fotis and Troconis went to a friend’s barbecue, the documents state.

A pal there asked where his wife was, and Fotis’ “response was to talk about fifteen thousand dollars in medical bills which Jennifer had accrued,” the papers say.

Cops also have zeroed in on a Toyota Tacoma truck that Fotis borrowed from one of his employees, Pawel Gumienny, around the time of Jennifer’s disappearance.

The work underling told cops that Fotis returned the truck to him May 29 completely cleaned from a detailing and repeatedly urged him to replace its seats, the documents state.

Gumienny added that Fotis told him not to talk to the police at one point because it might endanger his immigration status, the papers say.
