Missing Woman’s Family and Friends: Please Don’t Establish Financial Rewards or Funds in Jennifer Dulos Case

By |

Responding to a young boy’s offer to create a Go Fund Me page in honor of Jennifer Dulos, her family and friends are asking that no such funds be established at this time, police said. New Canaan Police Deputy Chief John DiFederico said in an email Thursday to media that the missing woman’s family and friends want no financial rewards set up in connection with the case. A statement attributed to Carrie Luft described a 7-year-old Wethersfield boy’s offer to put his savings toward a reward to help find Dulos. “His selflessness and generosity have touched our hearts,” the statement said, adding a Biblical reference, “A little child shall lead them.”

“The impact of Jennifer’s disappearance on her five young children, family, and friends is affecting many people in similar ways,” Luft continued in the statement. “We urge this young man to keep his savings, but we honor his impulse.

“Jennifer Farber Dulos, mother of five, daughter, sister, cousin, and friend, has now been missing from New Canaan, CT, for more than two and a half weeks.

State’s Attorney: Estranged Husband’s DNA Found on Kitchen Sink Faucet in Missing Woman’s New Canaan Home

By |

Investigators found the DNA of a missing New Canaan woman’s estranged husband inside her home, the scene of an apparent violent assault, the state’s attorney said Tuesday. A laboratory concluded that Fotis Dulos’s blood is contained in a “mixture” that police found on the faucet of Jennifer Dulos’s kitchen sink, Richard Colangelo told a judge during an appearance in state Superior Court in Stamford. Though it’s true Fotis Dulos had been at his wife’s New Canaan house on Wednesday, May 22—two days before Jennifer Dulos went missing and police found evidence of a serious assault there, as well as an attempt to clean up the scene—he had been relegated to the backyard during that visit with his children, Colangelo told Judge John Blawie. 

The state’s attorney disclosed the new information about the ongoing criminal investigation that already has seen Fotis Dulos, 51, and his girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, 44, charged with tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution in connection with Jennifer Dulos’s disappearance. Attorneys representing Fotis Dulos and Troconis entered not guilty pleas and requested jury trials. Fotis Dulos and Troconis are accused of driving around Hartford on the afternoon of May 24, stopping 30 times to dump items in trash receptacles and storm drains, including items that had the missing woman’s blood, investigators said. 

Troconis was released June 3 on $500,000 bond.

New Canaan Police have received more than 255 tips regarding the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos, according to Lt.
