VIDEO: Missing mom’s estranged husband arrested

FARMINGTON, Conn. — The estranged husband of a Connecticut mother who has been missing since May was charged Tuesday with her murder, according to his attorney.

In addition to the arrest of Fotis Dulos, 51, his former girlfriend and one of his attorneys will be arrested for conspiracy to commit murder, according to sources.

Jennifer Farber Dulos, 50, was last seen on May 24 after dropping her children off at school near their New Canaan home, police said. Her 2017 Chevrolet Suburban was found abandoned near a park, and state police detectives found traces of blood the next day at her house, the Hartford Courant reported. Her body has not been found.

At the time of her disappearance, she and her husband were engaged in a contentious battle over custody of the five children, ages 8 to 13, including two sets of twins.

A warrant made public in September puts forth a police narrative suggesting Fotis Dulos went to his wife’s house while she was out, “lay in wait” for her, then used her own vehicle to transport her body back to the vehicle he had left in a nearby park.

He and his girlfriend at the time, Michelle Troconis, 44, were arrested in June and charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. Other counts of the same charge were filed against Fotis Dulos in September.

Troconis is the former girlfriend who sources say will be charged with conspiracy to commit murder. The other person expected to be charged with that crime is Fotis Dulos’ civil attorney, Kent Mawhinney.

New Canaan police confirmed that Fotis Dulos was taken into custody Tuesday by members of the Connecticut State Police.

He is scheduled to face a judge on Wednesday.

The bond was set at $6 million.
