Jennifer Dulos is presumed to be dead, yet her body has not been found. Her estranged husband, the late Fotis Dulos, was charged with kidnapping and murdering her, with the assistance of Michelle Troconis and Kent Mawhinney. The Duloses were in the midst of a contentious divorce and custody battle over their five children at the time of Jennifer's disappearance.

Fotis Dulos took his own life a year ago before he could stand trial.

The investigation into Jennifer Dulos' disappearance continues, with state police searching one of Fotis Dulos' former properties this month.
