Jun. 13 2019, Updated 5:53 p.m. ET
Authorities are now seeking a “red Toyota Tacoma“ in connection to the disappearance of missing Connecticut mom Jennifer Dulos, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively.
The same police source also exclusively revealed Jennifer's estranged husband Fotis' former mistress-turned-girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, underwent a polygraph test the same day they were arrested and charged with hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence in connection to the mother-of-five's disappearance.
Meanwhile, the FBI was spotted at Russell Speeder’s Car Wash in Avon Thursday to inquire about a “strong vehicle of interest; the primary vehicle of interest,” according to the source.
When RadarOnline.com asked about the vehicle, an insider closely connected to the case said: “We obtained nearly one hundred surveillance videos in connection to the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos. We are not ruling any theories out, but as this is an active and fluid investigation, there are no further details available at this time. We are pleased with our progress but continue to seek the public’s assistance.”
The car wash was unable to comment on the search, but they indicated authorities were at the car wash early Thursday morning. According to an eyewitness, they also heard police speaking of a red Toyota Tacoma.
The informant also told RadarOnline.com exclusively, that weeks prior to this new bombshell development, Michelle Troconis, 44, took a polygraph test but her results are yet to be revealed.
“Ms. Troconis did submit to a polygraph test while meeting with officials from the State’s Attorney’s Office, FBI, and state police. During said interview, she provided minimal information that assisted us in the search. Further, the co-defendant provided an alibi that. However, it is important to note that we are not ruling any theories out at this point in the investigation.”
The insider noted that the results of a polygraph are never made immediately available to any parties outside of law enforcement until the discovery stage.
"The test taker isn’t made aware if he or she passed," explained the source. "They don’t tell them that at the time of the test, but it comes to light prior to trial."
Readers know it's been nearly three weeks since Jennifer, 50, disappeared, and authorities are desperate for clues. The FBI joined state and local law enforcement officials to search properties owned by her estranged husband. The missing mother was last seen at approximately 8 a.m. on May 24 after dropping her five children off at school.
On June 1, the case captured national attention when Fotis and his former mistress-turned-girlfriend, were arrested and charged with hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence in connection to the mother-of-five's disappearance. They were cuffed after police claim they found video surveillance that appeared to show the two dumping bags of evidence — including blood drenched sponges, clothing, and other material at over 30 location in a four-mile radius in Hartford, Connecticut.
Fotis and his girlfriend have both pleaded not guilty and remain free on $500k bond.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Fotis made bond in the early afternoon of June 11, posting just over $35k cash to be released. He was also ordered to wear a GPS anklet, remain in Connecticut and surrender his passport
He is scheduled to appear back in court on Aug. 2. His girlfriend is also due to appear back in court on July 18.
RadarOnline.com was first to report that law enforcement sources deemed the missing persons case a homicide, telling us: "This is no longer a missing persons investigation. This is now a murder case."
