Who was Jennifer Dulos and what was her life like before she vanished?
Sword and Scale contains adult themes and violence and is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised. My car was moved from her house for was covered in blood in the driver's seat and she wasn't the one driving but she was in the back.
Look. I know how much of my audience is triggered right now because the courts ruled that you can't murder your own children. And then to make matters worse, Sydney Sweeney took her clothes off again. So let's eat some more ice cream and listen to some true crime and we'll get through this together. Welcome to Struggle Session 370. I'm your host, the illustrious Mike Boudet.
Oh my god, did I offend someone again? Oh no
I had to look up the word illustrious, by the way. I guess it fits. Just remember that life is all about finding new things to get mad about.
Moro! Moro! Hei, ootko tulossa tänään yhtiök kokouksen? Joo! Ei itse. Jätiks mä avaimettaa autoa. Mulla on avain kännykäs. Mikä se on teet? Mulla tää Jail Linus älylukku. No, ethän voi tehdä. Totta kai voi. Noni, moikka. Avaa kotiovi kännykällä. Abloin jeil-inus älykko, myös kerrostalokotiin. Jeil. Yksinkertaisesti turvallista.
It's twenty nineteen. Jennifer is fifty years old and raising five kids, including two sets of twins. They range in age from eight to thirteen, and by all accounts she is a devoted mother. For nearly two years she and her kids have lived without her husband in a massive white house in New Canaan. It has almost ten thousand square feet, a three car garage, a hundred. And is worth millions. Custody of the kids is technically shared, but most days the house, the homework, and the packed lunches fall to Jennifer. Jennifer is also a writer with a master of fine arts. She keeps a block. Sometimes she writes fiction. Sometimes it reads more like a diary. And sometimes It becomes a place to put her frustrations.
Much like this podcast is to me. In one post she wrote The boys declared at their pickup that I should go to Mommy Jail, where they corner you in the kitchen. tie you up in a striped apron, and beat you with wooden spoons. About an hour away sits another house. It's just as large, but the family that lives there has a very different dynamic. Inside that house, Michelle goes about her day. It's her boyfriend's home. She too moved in about two years ago, after meeting him at a Miami water ski competition. Her twelve year old daughter Nicole lives with them most of the time. And the boyfriend's kids are there some weekends. Michelle has projects of her own, and she also helps her boyfriend with his business.
As she later explained, she wasn't someone who could just sit around the house.
Listen, I don't work for Ford. I was helping him. Yeah. Because I ha I was I have my rocks, I have my my daughter and it's just because I have time to do things and I I cannot be just sitting around.
Two women don't really know each other, but their lives are colliding. Because the same man ties them together. His name is Photus Dulos. On the morning of May twenty-fourth, twenty nineteen, after dropping the children at school, Jennifer Suburban was recorded returning to Wells Lane. At eleven AM the nanny arrived. The plan for her was to bring the children to New York, where they would meet Jennifer, attend dentist appointments, and stay with grandma. It was an hour's drive to the city. And Jennifer was going to leave the suburban for the nanny and the kids. But when the nanny opened the middle garage door, she was surprised to find the Range Rover parked there. The suburban. was missing. That wasn't the only weird thing she noticed.
Jennifer's carry all bag, which she always travelled with, was on the floor. In the kitchen, a cup of tea was still full, sitting next to an uneaten granola bar. Strangest of all, the nanny noticed the paper towel holder beside the sink was empty. When she went to the pantry to replace it She noticed that The twelve rolls that she'd bought the day before were now down to two. After picking up the kids at twelve thirty, she went back to the house to feed them lunch and pack a few things.
