NEW CANAAN, Conn. (WTIC Radio)_ Monday marks two years since Jennifer Dulos disappeared.
She was last seen dropping off her children at school in New Canaan on May 24, 2019.
Connecticut State Police say they found evidence of a serious assault at the house she was renting on Welles Lane.
The state charged her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, with murder. Fotis Dulos committed suicide in January of 2020.
Jennifer and Fotis Dulos had been in the middle of a bitter divorce and custody battle.
Fotis Dulos' friend Kent Mawhinney and ex-girlfriend Michelle Troconis have been charged in connection with Jennifer Dulos' disappearance. The two have denied involvement.
Carrie Luft, a spokeswoman for the family of Jennifer Farber Dulos, has released a statement:
"Monday, May 24, marks the two-year milestone of the disappearance of Jennifer Farber Dulos, an extraordinary woman, a devoted mother and daughter, a brilliant writer, a true friend. We are moved by the continued interest in Jennifer’s case and by the concern for her children and family, all of whom are thankfully healthy and well.
Although this past year has understandably slowed the process, the investigation into Jennifer’s death and disappearance is ongoing. After the courts reopen, the two people charged with conspiracy to murder will stand trial. We remain extremely grateful to the Connecticut State Police, New Canaan Police, and other law enforcement organizations that have worked to bring closure to Jennifer’s case.
On May 18, the Connecticut State Senate passed SB 1091, known informally as “Jennifers’ Law,” after Jennifer Farber Dulos and Jennifer Magnano, who was murdered by her ex-husband in Connecticut in 2007. The legislation expands the legal definition of domestic violence to include nonviolent coercive control, such as psychological, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse.
It is our hope that changing the legal definition can help change the outcomes for people in abusive relationships. Intimate partner violence cuts across the socioeconomic spectrum and affects people of all genders. Jennifer’s case has received a great deal of attention, but the stories of most people affected by partner violence are never told. Our hearts are with all of the victims and survivors, their families, children, and loved ones."
