As the search continues for Jennifer Dulos, a missing mom of five, state police on Friday were back at the Farmington home owned by her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, and exclusive drone footage shows people looking around the large yard and coming out of the wooded area behind the home. 

Jennifer Dulos. 50, has been missing since May 24. 

An NBC Connecticut crew near Fotis Dulos’ Jefferson Crossing home in Farmington saw state police vehicles coming and going from the neighborhood on Friday. 

Last weekend, police arrested Fotis Dulos and his 44-year-old girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, in connection with the missing person case. They have both been charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution in the first degree in connection to the missing person case. 

The NBC Connecticut crew also saw a silver BMW go in and out of that neighborhood on Friday and it had the same license plate as the one that Troconis was seen in with her attorney, Andrew Bowman, Monday as they left court after she posted bond. 

That vehicle was in the private neighborhood for around an hour and the man driving the BMW Friday appeared to be Troconis’ attorney while the passenger had long hair and was wearing sunglasses. 

NBC Connecticut’s Droneranger got an exclusive aerial look of the Farmington property, which shows what appear to be Connecticut State Police vehicles parked on the property and people looking around the large yard and coming out of the wooded area behind the home. 

Jennifer and Fotis Dulos lived together in the Jefferson Crossing home before she filed for divorce in 2017 and moved to New Canaan. 

Fotis Dulos and his girlfriend had been living at the home until they were arrested over the weekend. 

Troconis has been out on bond since Monday and Fotis Dulos remains in police custody. 

Several young children with disabilities in Connecticut are able to move a little be easier today with the help of electric cars made just for them.

This week, students put the final touches on a high school tech project that will touch the lives of the pint-sized drivers behind them.

About 30 Kaynor and Wolcott Tech students are building electric cars for kids with disabilities.

Kaynor sophomore Michael Mullen helped make modifications to one car that will help a child use it for mobility.

“I want to make sure that they’re able to use anything they can to make themselves go,” Mullen said.

For these students, building the eight cars is as much about head as it is heart.

“We have high school students here who are teenagers who normally wouldn’t think about other people and the ability to show that there are other people out there who have needs,” Lee Pelletier, the head of Kaynor’s Electronics Department said.

In one driver’s seat is Christian Grabowski, just pressing the red button gives him mobility.

“They modified it so he could use his hand to press buttons because he doesn’t walk he has cerebral palsy and autism,” Ted Grabowski said.

His parents say the lesson learned here for these students will go beyond the classroom walls.

“I’m just happy at least that they’re learning and that they share the patience and understanding of a special needs child,” Grabowski said.

And perhaps drive them do more to help others with disabilities.

“It touches my heart it makes me happy to see that see a smile on their face as they’re driving in they’re going,” Mullen said.

The cars came through a grant from the Torrington Chapter of UNICO National and a private donor and are part of the “Go Baby Go” program that helps kids with disabilities have access to independent mobility.

Hartford police have arrested a man accused of posing as a police officer and say he was found with all kinds of police paraphernalia, including a Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

Police said the investigation began when a caller reported an unmarked police vehicle making traffic stops on Albany Avenue on May 10. The caller said the driver was acting suspicious.

Investigators identified the driver as 54-year-old Jade Dignoti of Simsbury. They seized a 2011 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, along with red and blue emergency lights, a Winchester Police 12-gauge shotgun, live ammunition, and various other police-related tools, clothing, and prescription drugs.

Dignoti was arrested Thursday in Glastonbury and charged with impersonation of a police officer, unauthorized use of color lights, possession of narcotics and weapons in a motor vehicle. He was released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on July 8.

New Britain police are investigating vandalism at the Borinqueneers veterans monument.

Police said graffiti was discovered on the monument Thursday, along with vandalism to parts of the memorial. Public Works crews responded to clean up early Friday morning.

Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and asking anyone with information to contact the New Britain Police Department at 860-826-3000.

The monument, located at the intersection of Beaver Street, Washington Street and Farmington Avenue, recognizes the contributions of the Borinqueneers 65th Infantry Unit. The outfit was the largest active duty military unit in US history, based out of Puerto Rico. They served in World Wars I and II and the Korean War.

The Mega Millions drawing takes place Friday night, offering players a chance to win the seventh largest jackpot in the lottery game’s history.

The $530 million jackpot refers to the annuity option, paid over 29 years. A winner who chooses to take the cash option will receive $343.9 million, before taxes.

Mega Millions numbers will be drawn at 11 p.m. EST.

It costs $2 to play the game and players must select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 to 25. The odds of matching all six numbers and winning the jackpot is 1 in 302.6 million.

Mega Millions is one of two national lottery games. It's played in 44 states plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Mega Millions jackpots start out at $40 million and roll over if there is no jackpot winner. The last jackpot was won in Missouri on March 12, with a $50 million prize.

The largest jackpot in U.S. history was a $1.5 billion Mega Millions jackpot won in October 2018 by one player in South Carolina. The second-largest prize for Mega Millions was $656 million for the March 30, 2012, drawing, in which there were three winning tickets.

The Trump administration is rejecting requests from U.S. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag on embassy flagpoles during June, LGBTQ Pride Month, three American diplomats told NBC News.

The U.S. embassies in Israel, Germany, Brazil and Latvia are among those that have requested permission from Trump's State Department to fly the pride flag on their flagpoles and have been denied, diplomats said.

Although the pride flag can and is being flown elsewhere on embassy grounds, including inside embassies and on exterior walls, the decision not to allow it on the official flagpole stands in contrast to President Donald Trump's claim to be a leader in supporting LGBTQ rights overseas. The denials to U.S. embassies have come from the office of the State Department's undersecretary for management, Brian Bulatao, a longtime associate of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who also worked for him at the CIA.

The State Department in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment, nor did the U.S. embassies in Jerusalem and Brasilia. The U.S. Embassy in Riga, Latvia, referred questions about the flag to the State Department.

Morgan Kearns has been looking forward to a special outdoor luncheon with her two young daughters.

“It’s so nice for them to be able to get their energy out and just be outside in the fresh air instead of being cooped up,” said Kearns, “because it was a long winter.”

It was not only a long winter for Kearns and other patrons but also for some weather-dependent businesses. As one landscaper explained, green grass means more green in their pockets.

‘It helps a lot because when it’s always raining we end up skipping lawns and we can’t do a lot of them because it’s way too wet,” said Chris Cope of Meriden. “It’s A lot busier. A lot more profitable now.”

Sunny skies and a terrific weekend forecast is reason to party, especially if you’re in the party business.

“When we have nicer weather, people like to party more,” said Tom Ryan of Edgewood Party Rentals.

Edgewood Party Rentals is a party supplier and for them business has just hit peak season.

“Early in the spring it was not as busy. Not as many parties because of the damp weather. But business now is crazy busy,” Ryan said.

The same could be said for patio dining. Like the temperature itself business has begun to heat up, unlike the spring.

“Early spring and the winter with all that bad weather, it was kind of sad,” said Sammy Bajrakparevic..

Bajrakparevic owns Luce, a popular Middletown restaurant with outdoor seating, seating he says accounts for 30 percent of his business during summer months. With blues skies ahead, his business forecast appears much better than April.

“When it’s nice on the outside, everybody’s festive. Everybody’s feeling good. Everybody wants to come out,” Bajrakparevic explained.

Rifle manufacturer Stag Arms has decided to leave New Britain.

In a Facebook post Friday, the company announced plans to relocate from the New Britain facility on John Downey Drive. The decision on a new location has not been finalized.

“The location of Stag’s new headquarters has not been finalized but the Board has narrowed down the options to a short list of vibrant communities where there is significant support for the firearms industry,” the company wrote in a press release.

New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart said the news was not a surprise.

“We have known for many years that Stag has been courted by other states following the passage of more stringent gun laws here in Connecticut. Quite frankly, I’m surprised it took this long. While we are never happy to lose a business, the industrial park where it is located is 90 percent full and I am hopeful that it will be filled with another tenant within six months,” she told NBC Connecticut.

New Milford police are responding to a workplace accident at New Milford Block and Supply.

Police confirmed they received a report of a person trapped in a conveyor system.

No other information was immediately available.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Two weeks after she dropped her five children off at New Canaan Country school, 50-year-old Jennifer Dulos is still missing and the search to find her continues.

“They very much want to do that for a whole lot of reasons both legally and morally and emotionally for the family," Attorney John Williams said of efforts to find the missing mother. "Will that happen, I don’t know.”

A longtime criminal defense attorney based in New Haven, Williams closely reviewed key court documents from the investigation. He is not involved with this case that's gained national attention.

“This is an exceptional example of all of the stands of modern forensic criminology coming together,” Williams said.

Williams is referencing the surveillance video from Albany Avenue in Hartford and cell phone tracking from that led to New Canaan Police to charge Jennifer's estranged husband Fotis Dulos and girlfriend Michelle Troconis with evidence tampering and hindering prosecution.

“The one thing I hadn’t picked up from the news reports was that he voluntarily turned over his cell phone in the presence of his lawyer," Williams said, "which is not the usual procedure.”

NBC News confirmed Friday that Troconis and her attorney Andrew Bowman met Thursday with investigators.

“I think the prosecutors really, really need her cooperation," Williams said of Troconis, "I think it would be very valuable to them if they can get it.”

NBC Connecticut ended the interview with Williams by asking, if there is a chance these cases could be tried outside of Fairfield County.

"Is there any place in Connecticut where people haven’t formed opinions about this case?" Williams said. "I don’t think so.”

Next Tuesday morning, all eyes on Stamford Superior Court where Dulos and Troconis will next face a judge. Dulos has yet to post his bond, while a judge required Troconis wear a GPS monitor on her ankle as a condition of release Monday.

NBC Connecticut Investigates has learned A & S Services Group, LLC, the company that owns the truck that triggered a fatal, multi-vehicle crash on I-84 Monday, is considered a high-risk carrier by at least one measure.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has several yardsticks to gauge trucking safety.

The FMCSA website gives the York, Pennsylvania company a satisfactory safety rating.

However, there’s another measure not visible to the public called an ISS2 algorithm.

It goes from zero to 100. A rating above 75 means the carrier is high risk and its trucks should be inspected.

A & S Services Group has a 97, according to vehicle inspectors who spoke with NBC Connecticut Investigates.

For perspective, one of the inspectors says FedEx has an algorithm of 63, which means it’s optional to inspect.

That inspector also explains larger carriers may have a higher algorithm because of the number of trucks they have, and they often get written up for violations on the trailers they are towing, even if they don’t own them.

Other safety data on A & S Services Group says in the past two years, there have been four other fatal crashes involving the company.

Motor vehicle inspectors and a state trooper tell us that’s not a high number, when you consider the company has almost 1000 vehicles.

We reached out to A & S Services Group for comment about its ISS2 algorithm and the crash. We have not heard back.

Will Gallant - that’s a name you’ll want to keep an eye on when the 2020 Olympics gets closer. The 17-year-old swimmer from Canton is one of the best in the country.

Recently he qualified for the 2020 Olympic trials, putting him in the top two percent of all the swimmers in the country. Gallant qualified in the 800m freestyle and 1500m freestyle, making him one step closer to his lifelong dream.

"Will came on the team at 10 years old and we didn't accomplish this until he was 17,” said Gallant’s coach at WHAT Swimming in Farmington, Rob Riccobon.

“So all the foundation was put throughout this process, so when that moment comes along, that once every four years... You're ready to take that dive into the pool."

"(I) take a few deep breaths before my races and just went for it and after every race I had I knew I tried the best I could,” said Gallant. “It's been a busy few months and it will be an even busier few months but I love what I do and I love to compete and I love to train hard."

Fifteen-seed Waterford beat top-seeded Berlin 1-0 in a pitchers’ duel at Palmer Field to win the CIAC Class L baseball state championship Friday.

Junior Jared Burrows racked up 10 strikeouts and allowed just three hits in a complete game shutout.

“Just adrenaline, just going out there trying to throw strikes, I really don't have any words right now,” said Burrows.

Senior Cadin Maynard delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the top of the seventh.

“I was going up there looking for something I could hit,” said Maynard. “He hung a slider up over the plate and hit it up the middle and Sonny hauled and he scored. It was just electric."

The Lancers captured their 11th state championship in program history, which sets a new state record.

Interstate 95 is closed at exit 9 in Stamford due to construction, according to the Connecticut Department of Transportation.

The closure is to accommodate construction of a new bridge on Route 1 over the highway.

Drivers should expect long delays and avoid the area if possible. There will be temporary detour roads in the area so drivers do not have to use the local roads.

The closure is expected to last until 5 a.m. Monday.

Tony Rodham, the youngest brother of Hillary Clinton, died Friday night, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said in a tweet, calling him "kind" and "generous."

"It’s hard to find words, my mind is flooded with memories of him today," Clinton wrote in a post on Saturday morning. "When he walked into a room he’d light it up with laughter."

A cause of death is not known, NBC News reported. 

Rodham, born in 1954, was the youngest of three children, with Clinton, 71, and brother Hugh Rodham his older siblings.

He was married to Megan Madden, whom he wed in 2005 following a divorce from his first wife, Nicole Boxer. Rodham was the father to three children: Zachary Boxer Rodham, Simon Rodham and Fiona Rodham.

Police are investigating the sudden death of a man who was found on a trail in a park in Greenwich on Saturday.

Officers said hikers found the body of a man in his 60's on a trail on the Greenwich side of Mianus River Park.

Authorities have not released the man's identity.

Investigators said there is no threat to the public.

A 50-year-old mother of five from New Canaan has been missing for two weeks and her estranged husband and another woman have been arrested in connection to her disappearance.

Here is a look at a timeline of events on the investigation into Jennifer Dulos's disappearance.

On Friday, May 24, Jennifer Dulos dropped her children off at the New Canaan Country School. After that, police said she missed multiple appointments before friends reported her missing around 7 p.m.

Later that day, officers said they found her abandoned black SUV on Lapham Road by Waveny Park.

By Wednesday, May 29, the search for the missing mother intensified at the popular park in New Canaan. That day, officers said they were treating this as a missing person case, while also launching a criminal investigation to determine if Jennifer had been the victim of foul play.

Jennifer's close friend and family spokesperson Carrie Luft spoke with NBC Connecticut and said, "The children are safe and they are doing well given the circumstances. They, of course, miss their mother incredibly."

On Thursday, May 30, six days after Jennifer vanished, police said the search expanded across the state line to a property in Pound Ridge, New York.

NBC Connecticut also obtained court documents from the divorce case of Jennifer and her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos.

In the initial 2017 affidavit, she wrote she was “terrified for (her) family’s safety” and said her “husband has a history of controlling, volatile and delusional behavior.”

But in a court filing from his attorney, Fotis denied those allegations. And the day before being served with divorce papers in June of 2017, he called 911 with his own concerns.

“I’m worried about my wife and kids because they left to go to New York and I haven’t been able to get in touch with them,” Fotis said in a 911 call.

Jennifer moved from their shared home in Farmington to New Canaan around the same time she filed for divorce.

On Friday, May 31, authorities put out a new missing person poster. Officers continued seeking tips from people driving by Waveny Park in New Canaan.

“If you happen to remember anything, just call our tip line. It’s all anonymous,” police said.

By Friday afternoon, state police confirmed the search for clues moved to multiple locations in Hartford including on Milford Street, Albany Avenue, Homestead Avenue and Sigourney Street.

Then on Saturday, June 1, New Canaan Police said they were securing search warrants in their criminal investigation.

On Sunday, June 2, New Canaan Police Chief Leon Krolikowski announced Fotis and Michelle Troconis had been arrested in Avon on Saturday night around 11 p.m.

Fotis and Troconis are each facing charges including tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution in the first degree, according to authorities.

Both appeared in court on Monday, June 3 and bond was set at $500,000.  If they post bond, they will be subject to GPS monitoring and will be required to turn in their passports.

They have also been ordered to have no contact with each other, with Jennifer or her family.

Troconis has surrendered her passport and posted bond Monday. She was seen leaving court with a GPS monitoring device on her ankle.

On Tuesday, June 4, state police were at the Materials Innovation Recycling Authority (MIRA), a trash facility in Hartford, in connection with Jennifer's disappearance. A source with knowledge of the investigation told NBC Connecticut that state police contacted MIRA on Friday about a garbage truck that made a collection on Tuesday, May 28.

Also on Tuesday, Jennifer's mother, Gloria Farber, filed a motion in court for custody of the children. At a status hearing Wednesday, there were no changes made in custody. 

On Wednesday, June 5, police executed search warrants properties owned by Fotis, including his home on Jefferson Crossing in Farmington and a property at 61 Sturburdge Hill Road in New Canaan.

On Thursday, June 6, the attorney representing Fotis in the divorce and custody dispute filed a motion to withdraw from the case.

The motion, filed Thursday by attorney Micheal Rose, states that considerations other than compensation will prevent the firm from continuing to represent Fotis.

Also on Thursday, Michelle Troconis and her attorney met with investigators.

Officers said both the missing person and criminal investigations are active and dynamic.

As the criminal investigation progresses, authorities said additional criminal charges are expected.

Jennifer has not been located and the search for her is ongoing, police added.

On Friday, June 7, state police were back at Fotis's home on Jefferson Crossing in Farmington. NBC Connecticut crew saw a silver BMW matching the description of the one Troconis and her attorney were seen in at the home.

On Saturday, June 8, troopers continued to search for evidence related to Jennifer's disappearance at MIRA in Hartford. A source tells NBC Connecticut that troopers are specifically looking for evidence that might have been picked up by a garbage truck and shredded inside the facility days after Jennifer disappeared.

Also on Saturday, an employee at MIRA told NBC Connecticut that some of the clues related to Jennifer's disappearance may have been burned before police had the chance to search the facility.

As state police continue to search in a Hartford garbage plant for evidence in the Jennifer Dulos missing person case, we've learned some of those clues may have been burned before police had a chance to search.

An employee who explained the plant's process to NBC Connecticut says after the garbage is shredded, some of it is sent directly to the incinerator to run the power plant.

The rest is stored as future fuel for the power plant.

State troopers have been sifting through the trash that was stored since Monday.

That material has been through two shredders and cut into eight inch strips, according to the employee who spoke with NBC Connecticut exclusively. That employee said some of the shredded material was burned before police had the chance to search it.

More than two dozen state troopers have been seen sifting through the shredded garbage with the help of K9s throughout the week.

They are looking for evidence that may be connected to the New Canaan mother's disappearance more than two weeks ago.

State police have been working 12 hour days at the Materials Innovation and Recycling Authority in Hartford and Saturday marks their sixth day of searching there.

The slow and precise investigation includes sifting through shredded garbage that is stored as fuel for the power plant. Half a bucket full of material is spilled out onto a floor, according to a MIRA employee, and police are using K9s to sniff through it.

City surveillance cameras captured a man matching the appearance of Dulos's estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, dumping bags of garbage along Albany Avenue the day she disappeared.

Saturday marks the start of week three of the search for Dulos, a mother of five who has been missing since May 24.
