Connecticut State Police are searching a property that was owned by Fotis Dulos in the ongoing search for his missing ex-wife’s remains, a year after he killed himself while awaiting trial for her murder.
Jennifer Dulos vanished in May 2019 in New Canaan, Connecticut. Her husband was later charged with her murder but denied it vehemently.
The pair were in the midst of a bitter custody battle at the time and Fotis was accused of plotting against Jennifer with the help of his then-girlfriend, Michelle Troconis.
In January 2020, Fotis was found unresponsive at his home after gassing himself in his car. He died in the hospital days later.

Jennifer’s body has never been found and now Troconis and Fotis’ lawyer and friend, Kent Mawhinney, are the only people left to face accusations over what happened to her.
On Tuesday, police were seen digging holes in the expansive grounds of 80 Mountain Spring Road, another mansion that was owned by Dulos and his construction company.
It’s unclear what prompted them to search the property again on Wednesday.
The house was searched in 2019 but now they say they are ‘following up on old leads’ again.
Cell phone records show that Dulos visited the property twice on the day Jennifer vanished.
Once was at 1.37pm. He then went home, to his nearby property at 4 Jefferson Crossing, then returned to the house on Mountain Spring Road at 5.21pm.
He stayed for 13 minutes then drove away again.
