Jennifer Dulos, the mother-of-five who disappeared from her Connecticut home over four years ago, has been officially declared dead — days before her husband’s ex-girlfriend is set to stand trial in connection to the vanishing.
Dorien-New Caanan Probate Judge William P. Osterndorf made the declaration in a court decision on Oct. 24, 2023, according to multiple reports.
“Extensive efforts have been made by local and State Police authorities to locate her body,” Osterndorf wrote in his decision, according to the CT Insider. “To date, more than four years have passed and the body of Jennifer has not been located.”
Dulos was last seen dropping her kids off at New Canaan Country School on May 24, 2019.
She was supposed to meet her children at her mother’s home in NYC later in the day, but never showed up.
A missing person’s report for Dulos was issued to the New Caanan police just before 6:59 p.m. that Friday, to her home where they located “suspected blood evidence” in a Range Rover parked inside one of the home’s garages.
“The over-whelming evidence submitted to the Court supports the claim that Jennifer sustained non-survivable injuries,” the decision states, according to NBC Connecticut.
“The inescapable conclusion is Jennifer is deceased,” Osterndorf concluded.
Dulos’ mother Gloria Farber, 88, had petitioned the court for a declaration of death in case she died before her daughter was legally declared dead by the state.
In Connecticut, a person can be presumed dead after being missing and unheard of for seven or more years.
At the time of her disappearance, Dulos was in a nasty divorce and custody battle with her estranged husband Fotis Dulos, who was arrested in connection to her disappearance on Jan. 7, 2020.
Fotis Doulos was charged with capital murder, murder and kidnapping.
He was caught on video dumping black plastic garbage bags, which contained four 3-foot-long zip ties stained with Jennifer’s blood and her clothes, across Hartford. Conn. the night of his wife’s disappearance.
“It appears the Zip Ties were used to secure and incapacitate Jennifer Dulos for some time period, during which her blood transferred onto the ties,” court documents stated in 2020.
“It is reasonable that Jennifer Dulos was alive at the time the Zip Ties were attached to restrain her movements and prevent her escape.”
Fotis Dulos died in a Bronx hospital on Jan. 30, days after he attempted to commit suicide while out of jail on a $6 million bail, and a day before he was scheduled to attend another bail hearing.
He proclaimed that he was innocent and had not killed Dulos in his suicide note left at his Farmington, Conn. home.
The petition for a declaration of death was to ensure there was no disruption of the disposition of Dulos’ estate, to whom she had left all her assets to her children in her will signed in April 2017, just two months before she filed for divorce.
“As long as Jennifer’s status was undecided, then the children could not inherit from her or from her mother,” Farber’s lawyer, Richard Weinstein said, according to CT Insider. “We were concerned, obviously, with Mrs. Farber being 88 years of age, needing to wait the seven years.”
Farber has been caring for her grandchildren, who are now between the ages of 13 and 17, since her daughter’s disappearance.
Dulos’ death declaration was announced ahead of a trial for Fotis Dulos’ ex-girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, who was arrested on the same day as Fotis Dulos.
Troconis faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with evidence, among others.
She has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and her trial was scheduled to begin on Monday, but jury issues pushed the start date to Jan. 11, according the Hartford Courant.

Former “Today” show host Kathie Lee Gifford is selling her sprawling 13,163-square-foot Connecticut home. The asking price? $100,000,000.
Dubbed “Cedar Cliff,” the Greenwich estate at 108 Cedar Cliff in the Riverside section of town, was once owned by railroad tycoon Henry F. Shoemaker. Kathie Lee Gifford and her late husband, football legend Frank Gifford, purchased the house in 1994 for $7.8 million . The 13,163-square-foot, 29-room estate has eight bedrooms and 14 bathrooms (nine full, five half).


“They added a substantial addition to the house to make it work for their lifestyle,” listing agent Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby’s International Realty said. That addition is the east wing of the house, constructed in the early 2000s, which includes a private theater and wine cellar.
The eight bedrooms are similarly sized and have views of Greenwich Cove. The primary bedroom and two guest bedrooms have a balcony as well. The estate has a greenhouse, a screened porch, a sun room, a tennis court, and a billiards room currently containing Frank Gifford memorabilia. There are 10 fireplaces throughout the house.
Within the 2.91-acre gated peninsula is a spa, pool, and pool house.
McElwreath said “empty nester” Gifford is selling the property because “her children are grown and are married with their own children. Kathie Lee spends most of her time in Tennessee and is no longer using the house full-time.”
The house has a recently installed Ludowici terra cotta roof, sun decks that have been rebuilt, and there is access to a full-property generator as well as a private beach.
McElwreath said there are additional aspects that make this property worth the monstrous price tag.
“The setting is extraordinary. Elevated high above the water with over 1,250 feet of frontage, the property offers the rare combination of commanding panoramic views and direct waterfront access via a private pier and deep water dock,” she said.
McElwreath said the kind of buyer looking at this property is attracted to Greenwich for its high quality of life and proximity to Midtown Manhattan.


”High net-worth buyers do not compromise. They seek exceptional properties in prime locations. Cedar Cliff is a one-of-a-kind opportunity and will attract buyers looking for privacy and resort-like amenities,” McElwreath said.
The task of selling the estate was entrusted to McElwreath by Gifford after McElwreath represented the seller of Copper Beech Farm in Greenwich, which sold for just under $139,000,000 in 2023.
“[Copper Beach] is still the highest sale ever in Greenwich and the state of Connecticut. I plan to use the full resources of Sotheby’s International Realty to find the buyer for Cedar Cliff,” McElwreath said. “I also represented the seller of 100 Field Point Circle, the second highest sale in Greenwich at $50 million. My proven track record, combined with the marketing expertise of Sotheby’s, will prove to be a winning combination.”
