Why Did Jennifer Dulos’ Ex Show Up with a Lawyer AND a New Haircut? | Forensic Files

Police are as suspicious of Fotus as everyone else is. Now, Lauren is in pretty constant contact with police, and
she tells them the next day that Fotus has been texting her since late Friday night and is like dead set on seeing the
children, which she says she's not going to let happen until they find Jennifer and they're being taken care of like
under close watch at their grandmother's apartment. So, the day after Jennifer disappears, police meet briefly with
Fotus. And weirdly though, they don't know why he's sporting a new haircut. Like the dude's got a fully shaved head.
And this guy's not one to usually like rock a buzz cut. Are they Are they talking to Michelle too at this time?
Not yet. Um like they have only got eyes for Fotus at this point. But this would
be the only time that Fotus ever meets with police. He has his divorce attorney with him. So even this meeting, this one
that he does have is short-lived. They don't get anything from him, like he's not talking. In this meeting though,
investigators do ask to see his phone, and he hands it over, which would turn out to be a mistake for him. Good for
everyone else, though, cuz when they do a data dump on the phone, they're able to map out Footus' whereabouts on the
day that Jennifer disappeared. And this is where things start getting weird.
