‘My stomach just sank': Nanny describes frantic day Connecticut mother of five disappeared
Associated PressA nanny who cares for five children whose mother went missing in Connecticut in 2019 recalled in court on Wednesday the frantic day Jennifer Dulos vanished, kicking off a search that eventually turned into a murder investigation. “I just walked outside, and I started to call people who could have heard from Jennifer.” Police believe Fotis Dulos attacked Jennifer Dulos in the garage of her home in New Canaan, Connecticut, after she dropped off the children at school that day. Almeida testified that she and Jennifer Dulos had become afraid of Fotis Dulos in 2017, when the Dulos’ relationship deteriorated after she found out he was having an affair with Troconis. When Almeida went to the home on the day of the disappearance around 11 a.m. — a short time after Jennifer Dulos’ SUV was seen on a neighbor’s camera leaving the neighborhood — she said she did not notice blood in the garage but found Jennifer Dulos’ purse inside the house, which she thought was odd. Among the evidence expected to be shown to the jury later in the trial is police surveillance video of Fotis Dulos and Troconis driving around Hartford later in the day that Jennifer Dulos disappeared.
