  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Some breaking news now on
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a story that we have been following for quite some time. Yes,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: police officers and ambulances are outside the home of Fotus
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Dulos in Farmington, Connecticut. That's happening right now. We're told
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Dulos was found unresponsive at his home. Duloci, right remember,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: is charged with murdering his estranged wife, Jennifer. He was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: summoned to an emergency bail hearing this morning. The bail
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hearing came after an insurance company raised some questions about
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: his six million dollar bond. Now. That hearing was scheduled
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to begin right around noon, but Dulos never showed up.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: There was a distinct possibility that his bail could have
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: been revoked today. Dulos and his girlfriend, Michelle Traconis were
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: charged last year with two counts of tampering with evidence
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and hindering prosecution. Jennifer Dulas's body has been missing. She's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: been missing since last May and investigators have never recovered
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: her body. It was on the banner of every TV screen,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Potus Dulos dead. Well, he's not. He is, however, in
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: perilous condition being treated at a Bronx Hospital after chipping
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: suicide by gassing himself with a carbon monoxide in his
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: own garage when emergency vehicles got there. When police got
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: there because he was basically late for court hearing, they
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: looked through the window and see him slumped over the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: wheel and his car break in and saved his life.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We think joining me right now. All Star panel Jason Oceans,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Bobby Chico, doctor Bethany Marshall, Karen Karen Smith, and Levipage
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Climb online dot Com investigator reporter Levi. What happened So
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Nancy Potus Dulos, who's a murder suspect in his estranged
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: wife's disappearance, tried to commit suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Officers conducted a welfare check, found him unresponsive in his garage.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: They thought he was dead. Thirty minutes went by and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they finally discovered a faint pulse and he is currently
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on life support in New York City. And this all
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: happened because he had been told that there was problems
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: with the collateral of his bond and that it could
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: be revoked, and apparently that upset him that he may
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: have to go to jail, so he tried to commit suicide.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Here's the kicker, Doctor Bethany Marshall, psycho analyst in Beverly Hills.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You can find her at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany. Here's the deal. He was gonna lose his
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: bond maybe and have to go to jail, so he
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: tries to kill himself. If he kills himself, we and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Jennifer's children will never know what happened to her. That's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: absolutely correct. So he dies with his secrets. But Nancy,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: do you remember that he chased Jennifer through the house.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: She was locked in a bedroom. He was pounding on
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the doors that the housekeeper reported this. This is a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: very angry, aggressive man. And we know that the homicidal
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: instinct and the suicidal instinct lie side by side. In
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: other words, somebody who's likely to kill or aggress against
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: another person can direct all of that aggression back against
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the self. So I think that same ragefulness he had
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: towards others and impulsivity and inability to regulate his emotions
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: led to the suicidality. He did not want to face
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the consequences of his actions, and sadly, in trying to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: take his own life and the fact that he's on
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: life support. You're absolutely correct. We may never ever know
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: exactly what happened to Jennifer if he does die, because
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's in a critical state, so there's no
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: guarantee that he's going to be able to talk after this.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Takulosten our friends at w f s B three. This
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is Courtney Zeller photos. Dulos was expected in court in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Stanford around noontime today. She had seen a woman at
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the home. At his home, she had left maybe about
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: eleven thirty. Then shortly after that, that's when we started
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: noticing a few local police cars coming through here and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a few officers. Then state police arrived on scene, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that's when we saw. In between that time that there
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was a man laying on the ground. They were performing
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: CPR for at least fifteen minutes, and then they started
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: putting up those tents. That woman returned. We saw her
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in video that we captured and she was running in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the back of the house where this was all unfolding,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: where police were doing CPR. They had the man on
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the ground and we witnessed that firsthand. But if you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: are just joining us, we are hearing from multiple sources
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that photos Dulos has been pronounced dead, but he wasn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: straight out to Jason Oshow's New York defense attorney, but
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: practices all over the country. Jason in a nutshell explain
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to me why his BOD most likely would have been revoked.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He just couldn't take being behind bars. Apparently. Well, Nancy,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you know, if if you're looking at you know, sort
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of profiling the type of person that he is always
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in control, uh, you know, that type of heart charging
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: individual for the good or the bad. And I think,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: as you said, he saw that that surety crumbling a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: bit with some of the assets that were put up
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: for that, and he took control. If if he was
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: going to be incarcerated, then this was his decision, so
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that no one was going to get him. He was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: gonna get himself, and this was his methodology of doing it. So, oh, Jason, play,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: he's just stopped. His wife is dead, massive amounts of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: blood found on her bra, her shirt, all over the garage,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and now he faces the prospect of potentially getting his
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: bell revoked. You know, it's one thing to pick on
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: somebody weak or less cunning than you, But then when
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the tables are turned. Bobby Chico, former special asent FBI,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: start our Facebook watched series Curse of Aqacre. What do
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you think. Well, I've come across guys like this before,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: these supreme narcissists who just can't stand to lose control
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and they have to dominate and bully everybody in their lives,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and we still the supreme bullying. Ultimately that probably ended
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in his wife's death at his hands, and he just
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: can't stand to be under the control of anybody else.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: He wasn't going to go to jail where someone was
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: going to tell him when to go to sleep, when
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to wake up, what to eat, when to eat. So
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think that this guy is one of those bullies
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that's so so narcissistic that he looked at a life
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that where he wasn't in control and couldn't, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: assert his own power and dominance over other people that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: he could not he could not picture himself in that life,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and that narcissistic tendency is so powerful within them it's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: actually worth taking his own life rather than to submit
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to that kind of life. Yeah, well, that's what happens
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: when you murder your wife. Apes alleged late murder your wife.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Karen Smith joining me from LA Forensics expert lecturer University
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Florida and host of Shattered Souls podcast. Karen, what can
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: we learn now? And this absolutely will come in front
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of a jury if it ever goes to trial. Absolutely
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it will if he's able to stand trial. At this point,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you know he's in critical condition from carbon monoxide poisoning Nancy.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: That will kill you in minutes. The fact that the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: paramedics and rescue got there so quickly is yes, it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a good thing. Hopefully he can recover from this. But
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: here's the problem. Carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: blood two hundred times more efficiently than oxygen does. That
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: quickly will take over your brain. You'll loseiousness and that
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: can cause memory loss, confusion. I don't know if this
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: guy is ever going to be the same and able
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to give any information if he does in fact recover
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: from doing this to himself and last to you. Doctor
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, psychoalist out of Beverly Hills. You can find
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: her at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. What will this
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: mean for the children? As photos Dulos is never tried
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: because the damage done to his body. If he lives,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we'll never know what happened to Jennifer, and they won't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: have a dad as well, Nancy. Even if he was
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: behind bars and they knew what their dad was a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: live safe here on earth, that would be an attachment
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that would sustain them throughout their lives, even if their
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: dad's a monster or homicidal. These are very little kids.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: They still need their fathers. So they've had the death
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of their mother, now potentially the death of their father.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: These two children are orphans. Later on, they'll want to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: know what happened, but right now they just need her dad,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a live, comforting present able to hold them. And that's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the biggest tragedy is that they will not have him
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: in any kind of a good, good shape in order
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to connect with them, if alive at all, and they'll
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: never know the truth of what happened. We know Dulos
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: in the Kobe Medical Center. They worked on him for
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: thirty straight minutes before he was airlifted. We wait as
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: justice unfolds. Nancy Grace crime story, signing off Goodbye friend,
