Report: Ellington Mom Was A Victim Of Another Crime Before Shooting

ELLINGTON — About three months before she was found shot to death at her Birchview Drive home, Connie Dabate was the victim of another crime, according to the latest report on the crime by the Hartford Courant.

In early October, someone stuffed rags into her car’s tailpipe, according to police reports obtained by the Courant.

A week later, the windshield of her husband Richard Dabate’s car was cracked — from the inside, according to the story.

No one was arrested in the incidents, nor has anyone been arrested in Dabate’s killing two days before Christmas. The mother of two was shot in the head and abdomen on the morning of Dec. 23.

State police said there are no updates yet.
