HARTFORD (1010 WINS/AP) – The attorney who represents conspiracy radio host Alex Jones has a new client: the estranged husband of missing Connecticut mom Jennifer Dulos.

Fotis Dulos has retained Norm Pattis as his defense attorney, according to News 12.

Pattis represents Jones and Infowars in Connecticut, where parents and family members of Sandy Hook shooting victims have sued him for defamation.

Jones blamed some of his Newtown conspiracy theory on “psychosis,” according to the Hartford Courant: "I think as a pundit, someone giving an opinion, that, you know, my opinions have been wrong; but they were never wrong consciously to hurt people."

Fotis Dulos has been behind bars since he was charged with evidence tampering and hindering prosecution in connection with the case.

His girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, faced the same charges, but was released on a $500,000 bond.

Arrest warrants link the pair to videos of trash bags being dumped in areas where Jennifer Dulos' blood was later found on clothing and other items.

Police have asked the public for help, including any images from private cameras that may have captured traffic in New Canaan between Wednesday, May 22nd and Saturday, May 25th.

Investigators say they have received almost 70 responses to that request.
