Monday marks two years since Jennifer Farber Dulos was reported missing. The New Canaan mother of five is suspected to have been murdered by her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, who committed suicide during the investigation.
New Canaan Police Chief Leon Krolikowski said he thinks about Jennifer Dulos every day.
“Our investigators and the Connecticut State Police are always looking for another piece of information . that could put the puzzle together and help us find Jennifer and bring her home and give her family closure,” said Krolikowski.
Her body has never been found, and the investigation remains active for New Canaan and state police.

NEW CANAAN It was just about four years ago when Jennifer Dulos told a family court judge how her estranged husband warned he’d “disappear” with their children if she filed for divorce, threatened her financially and, in one instance, chased her around their home in a fit of rage, according to court documents.
The mother of five’s request for a restraining order, however, was denied because a judge said she was unable to prove she was the victim of physical abuse.
It marked the beginning of a contentious divorce and custody dispute that spanned two years and included more than 400 court filings up until her disappearance in May 2019.
