State police are searching Waveny Park in New Canaan, the area near where the SUV of Jennifer Farber Dulos was found more than two years ago, in connection with the investigat­ion into Dulos’ homicide.

“The Connecticu­t State Police Major Crimes detectives and K-9s are in Waveny Park on a standard follow-up investigat­ive effort out of an abundance of caution,” said Brian Foley, a top aide to state police commission­er James Rovella.

The search is related to the Jennifer Farber Dulos homicide investigat­ion, a state police spokespers­on confirmed.

Police are “following up on previous investigat­ive informatio­n pertaining to” the investigat­ion, they said.

“This is being done out of an abundance of caution to explore every avenue related to the case,” state police said. “These follow-ups are standard procedure as our detectives thoroughly investigat­e any and all leads.”

Investigat­ors are still searching for Farber Dulos after she went missing on May 24, 2019. Her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, was charged with murder in connection with her disappeara­nce and died by suicide in January 2020.

Dr. James Gill, the state’s chief medical examiner, determined, based on evidence, including a large amount of her blood in her New Canaan home, that Farber Dulos likely suffered an injury that was “non-survivable without medical interventi­on.” State police found no evidence that she was seen by a medical doctor following her disappeara­nce. He has not issued a death certificat­e because the body has not been found.

Despite extensive searches at numerous locations across the state — including days spent sifting through garbage at the trashto-energy plant in Hartford — no trace of her body has been found.

Police issued a similar statement in January when they brought an excavator to search Dulos’ former home at 80 Mountain Spring Road in Farmington.

“Our main goal is to work toward giving the family of Jennifer Dulos some sense of closure, which is why we’re here continuing to investigat­e ... the disappeara­nce,” Trooper Josue Dorelus, a state police spokesman, said during a news conference at the time. “Our main goal is again to provide that sense of closure to the family . ... This is still an active and ongoing investigat­ion and as you are aware we’re very limited in terms of what we can and cannot say.”
