Mark Vincent Parole Hearing Update

Jess & Joe discuss clips from the WPD’s January 2022 trip to Teen Challenge Vermont, about a month before Mark Vincent fled back to Connecticut and was arrested in the parking lot of Milford Christian Church.  Listen as the detectives, Mark, and his son Paul discuss the status of the revived investigation, what the police were hoping to get out of father and son, and their thoughts on the podcast as well as Jess & Joe themselves.

In the months after Doreen disappeared, Mark Vincent told everyone he spent every waking moment looking for her.  Instead he was perfecting the art of the hobosexual – pursuing relationships with women like Rozanne Pelloni just to have a place to live.  When these relationships eventually imploded, secrets about what Mark had really been up to would spill out.  So what would the Wallingford Police do with this new information, and would it get them any closer to an answer? 

Since we first heard Doreen Vincent’s name six and a half years ago working on Sarah Dimeo’s Faded Out,the Wallingford Police Department have been holding back reams of documents as well as hours ofaudio and video footage. But now, thanks to FOIA, we have it all. And month afternmonth, scores of sources have continued to call me – to speak about Doreen, her fatherMark, and Mark’s latest sanctuary, Pastor James Loomer’s Milford Christian Church,formerly known as Berean.Come along on a deep dive of this story as you thought you knew it, illuminated now bycountless new details from police reports, investigator Richard Novia’s notes, interviewswith Doreen’s friends as well as Donna, Sharon, and Mark, and writings by Doreenherself. Episode One, Free Bird, is a sharper look into Mark’s past sins, and the lengths he wouldgo to to hide them.

Thirty-six years after Doreen Vincent went missing, Jessica Fritz Aguiar is back with new and shocking information on both her disappearance and the investigation into it. Pages and pages of new information from the Wallingford Police Department inform a fresh, renewed look at what happened to Doreen and what’s happening with the main suspect - her father, Mark. 

Jessica Fritz Aguiar was a guest on WICC 600am Radio in Bridgeport/Milford CT. The host of the show is also the producer of Walk Softly Children, Joe Aguiar. Jess gives a synopsis of the case of Doreen Vincent, and an update on the status of her father, and the prime suspect in her disappearance 34 years ago, who was just released from a halfway house on a gun charge. 

Host Jessica Fritz Aguiar was invited onto the Vinnie Penn Project to discuss the Doreen Vincent case as part of National Missing Children Week. Vinnie had not heard of the case and questions how an obvious crime could have gone so cold. 

Executive producer Joe Aguiar joins host Jessica Fritz Aguiar to update you on the case of Doreen Vincent. Her father, Mark Vincent, has been released to a halfway house in Bridgeport, CT. Mark will be greeted each day with a billboard about Doreen's case just outside of his window. We are doing a GoFundMe to produce the $8700 dollars needed for two billboards in CT. Jess and Joe also discuss the status of their FOIA request, and the illegal way the Wallingford PD responded to it. Is another hearing coming soon?

At Milford Christian Church, Pastor Jim Loomer likes to portray himself as “All Things to All Men,” as putting aside his own desires, comfort, and pride so that he can bring people to Jesus as envisioned in First Corinthians.  In doing so, Jim portrays himself as an average Joe, a man of the people, a happy go lucky man of God.  But underneath that mask lies a craven soul marked by a penchant for twisting God’s words to serve his purposes, and using his church as a weapon to harm those who would expose him.  Discover Jim’s history as a young Christian new to the pulpit, and follow him as he branches out into the realms of education and politics, where his hypocrisy is on full display.  Jim’s sins were so blatant, in fact, that this episode had to be split in two, with the second half – containing a look at how Jim uses the church as not only a sword, but also as a shield to protect those who would hurt children like Doreen Vincent and Emily Martin – coming shortly.  #pastorloomer #milfordchristian #allthingstoallmen #doreenvincent #justicefordori #emilymartin #justiceforemily
