OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Ledyard PD arrived at 70 Whalehead Road, the residence of 47-year-old Daniel DiCicco for felony warrant for Failure to Appear on weapons-related charges. The origin and immediate context of this charge, and thereby also its significance, are unknown at this time as police presented the matter as a simple FTA warrant in the news while they seemingly staged a small war against DiCicco with obviously most relevant context of the situation not relayed to the public by police.

On 10/19/2023, “authorities” reported by media which were later revealed to be local police together with the FBI, arrived at 70 Whalehead Road, a sparsely populated heavily wooded area and multi-team fed+local police allegedly evacuated the few neighbors this address shows on sat view to exist. The reasons for a preemptive evacuation are unknown and appear out of context with the official explanation that they were picking up an FTA skip on a simple warrant. Authorities in New London, CT County state that a search warrant to look for “weapons-related” charges was issued. This triggered today’s raid. The only other thing local authorities said on behalf of the PD+FBI raid was: “When agents could safely enter the property, DiCicco was unconscious and declared dead.”
