NEW CANAAN, Conn. — On this day five years ago, New Canaan mother of five Jennifer Farber Dulos disappeared. She was last seen dropping her kids off at school. The disappearance made national news, as evidence of her attack and presumed death started to emerge within the early days of the search for Jennifer.
Jennifer's estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, was charged with her murder. The case against him never went to trial, as he took his life in January 2020.
Fotis' one-time girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, was found guilty of conspiracy to murder charges in March 2024 and will be sentenced next week, on Friday, May 31.
Fotis' civil lawyer and friend, Kent Mawhinney, awaits trial for conspiracy to commit murder charges in connection to the disappearance.
Friends and family continue to remember the life of Jennifer and advocate for victims and survivors of domestic violence.
Read the full statement from Carrie Luft, spokesperson for Jennifer's loved ones:
"As of May 24, Jennifer Farber Dulos has been gone for five years. We miss her every day, in every way. There are so many daily reminders of Jennifer—a shared reference, a musical riff, a delighted laugh, a graceful silhouette in the distance. Her strength of character, her intelligence, and her tenacity live on in her children. She would be so very, very proud of the young adults they have become.
"For us, five years is not a milestone but a marker of cumulative loss and longing. Life goes on, yet grief goes on alongside it, a shadow, a current, the presence of absence.
"We hold fast in our belief that Jennifer’s body will be found. The investigation is active, and we are ever grateful to the Connecticut State Police and the state’s attorney’s office for their continuing work on this case.
"In Jennifer’s memory, we encourage you to hug your loved ones; take time to listen to a child; play your favorite song; or send a note to brighten someone’s day.
"We also urge those who can do so to donate to local organizations that support survivors of intimate partner violence, such as Interval House Hartford; and to organizations that work on behalf of missing and murdered women of color, such as the Black and Missing Foundation, National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, and many others.
"Thank you very much for respecting the privacy of Jennifer’s family and loved ones."
