Although there has been no sign of the missing couple, investigators found their truck empty on Sunday, August 9 in a commuter lot near exit 42 off the Merritt Parkway. The family said money in their banks accounts has been untouched.
Shortly after their disappearance, it was reported that Jeffrey Navin was $2.2 million in debt in connection with a mortgage on a Guilford home that had not been paid in years.
But after no contact from the couple for nearly two weeks despite intensive local media coverage of their disappearance, police are now investigating whether they were victims of foul play or intentionally disappeared, Grant said.
On May 28, Jeannette Navin sold the family’s longtime home on Osborn Farm Road in Weston for $900,000, records show. The house went into foreclosure in 2007, because as the courant reports, the Navins allegedly failed to make a single payment on a $1.3 million mortgage for the house. Navin has appealed the judgment against him to the appellate court twice but lost both times.
On November 16, 2014, a decision was issued by Judge John Flanagan ordering Navin and Cassidy to pay $138,137.79 in increments of $35 per week to CL&P. Navin, who disputed the amount owed, appealed. He said a third party recently told him to take it off the market.
Weston school employee Jeanette Navin, 55, and her husband Jeffrey Navin, 56 are still missing.
Hennessey, reached by phone Tuesday morning, declined to comment. She is much beloved by staff and students alike, according to Weston Schools Superintendent Colleen Palmer.
According to the secretary of the state’s office, Jeffrey Navin is the president of J&J Refuse Inc., which was incorporated in Connecticut in 1985, and lists a business address of 37 Osborn Farm Road, where the couple resided until this June.
