Was Her Alibi Too Perfect to Be Real? | Forensic Files

According to Michelle, Fodus was at the Farmington house with her all morning, just like his phone data would suggest.
She said they took a shower together and had sex. Then she left the house while he stayed back. But don't worry, she can
fully account for her time, too, because she said she went to this stop and shop.
She can prove it cuz she took a selfie with like this robot thing that drives around looking for people who might be
stealing or whatever. And then she saved the receipt for that trip as well. Oh, good. She stopped by a friend's place
who she says can vouch for her and then she of course went water skiing. Naturally, from her account, there is no
way Fotus was anywhere near Jennifer when Jennifer vanished. Jennifer's house in New Kanan is more than an hour's
drive from the house in Farmington. And Michelle conveniently saw Fotus in Farmington like every few hours that
morning. She says her and Fotus have lunch together. Then at 3:30, she goes to a property that Fotus is renovating
on Mountain Spring Road. And this Mountain Spring Road, this is less than 5 minutes from their Farmington house.
So she says she's going there to clean at 3:30. I have to bring all the cleaning
material to clean the house because the house was a mess at 80. Yeah. But I mean, he calls you, Phous
calls you, says we have to go to 80 mountain spring to clean. Is that is that what you're saying? Yes. Okay.
Votus meets up with her later and then they go on their ride for Fraps. The end. Normal day. And her story seems
solid, almost too solid, like rehearsed. Mhm. And that's because it is. You see,
police have been doing methodical searches of each of the properties owned by Fotus' company. And guess what they
found at the Farmington house? some handwritten notes and photo copies of those notes in the trash and then
stuffed into a briefcase. And what is written on those pages is stranger than anything I could get away with writing
in fiction.
