You can’t just throw together a warrant without cause or reason to believe evidence exists. It took many hours of interviews and piecing things together. The case has to be built, and properly. Searching someone’s personal space isn’t and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
No but I feel like there was enough circumstantial evidence, such as these facts:
- Past court records show the husband was abusive towards spouse
- There was cases of restraining orders
- the kids are under an armed guard in NY and the timing of the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos was clear as the kids were in school
- Husband remained low key since this disappearance and there’s not been an emotional cry normal of a lost spouse
-Who else would be involved here than the prime divorce partner? He could get on a flight to Greece before being detained
My guess is there’s lots of $$$ in this case and this means there could be some mobbery villains here, Al Capone types, the old Witness Protection and the state prosecutors are dealing with this by carefully shielding investigative info from being used by mob, by acting secretly, gathering evidence behind closed doors, and then ultimately busting some mob circles. I think there were some paid villains who took care of the dirty work.

None of that “evidence” leads to probable cause, which is needed for a search warrant. Again, the case has to be made. That’s what investigators have been doing since day one.
Wow. It looks like they got the husband on this. His cell phone records show he was in the area when she disappeared. They found blood stains in his home and evidence of trying to clean it. Then they have video from Hartford showing a vehicle like his on Albany Avenue and they found blood stained clothing in trash bins there. DNA matches the blood to her. Looking bad. But great detective work. Kudos to the police. Jay

Agreed. They are doing, from what I can see, an excellent investigation. If they didn’t charge this guy with evidence tampering, effectively requiring him to turn in his passport and should he be able to post bond, wear a tracking device, he would be long gone. Lots of circumstantial evidence but hopefully they find her (or her body, even though it’s sad to say).
I’m not sure if anyone read the substance of her complaints to New Canaan Police in the past. She said if she files for divorce, she knows he will become enraged and physically harm her. She filed a supplemental report saying she fears for the safety of her family. Unfortunately, the way the laws work, unless a crime is committed, the only thing a police department can do is increase patrols and document her claims. Either way, it’s haunting that she knew what was going to happen. That’s why domestic violence is so serious nowadays.
I have to say it’s starting to get major national attention. It’s been one of the top stories on the news down here and CNN/Fox are covering it extensively on their networks. I do wish the media would focus less on the affluence of the family and New Canaan, and more on the investigation and couple’s history.
I await their murder arrest and following trial. What a POS.

That is really tragic. It makes me wonder what else she could have done, or what to advise someone to do if they find themself a similar situation. I always hear about "restraining orders" but I don't know what's necessary to put one into effect, or if it could have made a difference in this instance. Maybe if the guy had made threats of violence she could have tried to get an audio recording or something. But I am guessing that any charges brought on the basis of threatening might have provoked him just the same.

There is really not much a police officer can do except document the claims if a crime wasn’t committed. I don’t believe he made an actual threat of violence, because he likely would have been at least questioned. Threatening is a very difficult crime to prove because it’s often he said/she said without any direct proof. If he denies it, aside from there being a text or voicemail, there’s no probable cause to make an arrest.
There are victim advocacy groups that could have been beneficial but even then, there’s only so much they can do as well. A lot of people put faith in restraining or protective orders, but really, all they are is a piece of paper. They are violated all the time, unfortunately. Short of posting an officer up at her residence 24/7, or relocating her to an address he doesn’t know (which is likely not legal due to his partial custody of their children), there is only so much that can be done. Very tragic and I’m wondering if CT domestic violence laws will get revisited after this (although I’m probably getting ahead of myself).

Again, a plug for the Daily Mail. They're giving more pics, and more coverage, of this case than any of the national or regional news organizations. Some may call them sensationalist, but I've found in following them over the years that they break the stories and details first, that the US networks report on later.

Agreed. The Daily Mail always reports extensively.
