New Canaan mom Jennifer Dulos is missing: Here’s what we know​

Fotis Dulos, 51, is the estranged husband of Jennifer Dulos, 50. She has been missing since May 24, 2019. Fotis Dulos operates a building company, The Fore Group. He has built custom homes in Fairfield and Litchfield counties and the Farmington Valley. In her initial divorce filing, Jennifer Dulos described her husband’s affinity for water skiing, which she characterized as an “obsession.” She said he insisted on their children training to be world-class water skiers, and had them on a strict training regimen that she believed was dangerous and excessive, and sometimes would go on from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Jennifer Dulos may have been alive when taken by estranged husband, former prosecutor says​

Jennifer Dulos may have been restrained with 3-foot-long zip ties and alive when she was taken from her New Canaan home by Fotis Dulos in May 2019, former prosecutor Richard Colangelo told college students studying journalism earlier this year.

"We don't know if she was dead when he took her out of New Canaan or not," Colangelo said. "My theory was she wasn't."

Colangelo made the revelation and others — such as his belief that Jennifer Dulos may be buried in the expansive property in Farmington near where she previously lived — during a talk in late March with University of New Haven students studying journalism with columnist and adjunct professor Andre Thibault.


Attorney Jon Schoenhorn, who represented Michelle Troconis, convicted on charges she conspired with Fotis Dulos, her former boyfriend, to kill Jennifer Dulos, also spoke to the students in April about the eight-week trial that ended with Troconis' conviction on several charges, including conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Jennifer Dulos, her discussions with police and the possibility of her filing an appeal.

Her prior attorney Andrew Bowman was "sitting there more or less like a potted plant while the police grill Ms. Troconis for hour, upon hour, upon hour," said Schoenhorn, who later indicated that ineffective assistance of counsel might be an avenue for getting the conviction overturned.

Journalism students Gabby Pinto and Mikaela Motz peppered Colangelo, a former chief state's attorney who now is a professor at UNH, and Schoenhorn with questions about the case and the trial during the discussion. The journalism class had reviewed videos and print stories about the disappearance and death of Jennifer Dulos prior to the talk as part of a learning experience on gathering news, Thibault said.

That would be a way to not have any blood evidence in the home.
 

Attorney for Michelle Troconis seeks dismissal of contempt charge from Jennifer Dulos trial​

A lawyer for Michelle Troconis has filed a motion seeking to throw out a case charging her with contempt of court that came after prosecutors alleged she viewed sealed documents during her trial in the murder and disappearance of Jennifer Dulos.

Troconis is serving a 14½-year sentence after a jury found her guilty last year of conspiring to murder Jennifer Dulos with the New Canaan woman's estranged husband, Fotis Dulos.

The report was visible to members of the news media covering the trial, including a cameraman who was livestreaming the proceeding.

"Plainly said, the State of Connecticut is charging her with criminal contempt seeking to imprison her further, because a third party cameraman (who was told not to shoot defense counsel’s table) unilaterally decided to live broadcast and zoom in on a laptop that was in front of Ms. Troconis thereby 'display(ing) nine partial sentences … containing approx. 82 total letters' of an allegedly sealed custody report her defense was permitted to possess," according to the motion filed by attorney Darnell Crosland, who recently was hired to represent Troconis.

He argued the state failed to "allege the essential element of willfulness" to charge Troconis with contempt, "rendering the information fatally defective and legally insufficient."


Troconis is next due to appear Monday at state Superior Court in Stamford in the the criminal contempt case. She was convicted of trying to create an alibi for Fotis Dulos on the morning Jennifer Dulos vanished, as well as helping to clean a pickup truck believed to have been used in the murder.

Prosecutors have also charged Fotis Dulos' friend and former lawyer, Kent Mawhinney, with conspiring to kill Jennifer Dulos. He has pleaded not guilty ahead of trial.
