Police: ‘No new evidence’ found in Dulos case during search

AVON — No new evidence was found during an extensive search of an Avon property where Jennifer and Fotis Dulos once lived with their children, authorities revealed Friday.

Detectives from the Connecticut State Police Western District Major Crime Squad and members of the state police K-9 Unit conducted a second search of the property at 44 Sky View Drive in Avon on Thursday.

Police spent roughly eight hours searching the house and wooded property for evidence linked to the disappearance and death of Jennifer Dulos.

Jennifer and Fotis Dulos rented the Avon home until it was sold in 2010. The property has been vacant since 2017.

The property had been searched once before last year. At that time, David Ford, who owns the property, told investigators they were welcome to return any time.

Investigators searched with consent from Ford, who told Hearst Connecticut Media on Thursday that he told authorities they can do whatever is deemed necessary for their investigation, including knocking down walls if needed.

State police said the home’s septic system was included in the search. A septic company emptied the property’s large tank and the sludge will be examined for evidence, a source close to the investigation said.

“No new evidence or clues were discovered as a result of the search,” state police said Friday.

Fotis Dulos died Jan. 30 from an apparent suicide while facing murder and other charges in connection with his estranged wife’s disappearance and death.

May 24, 2019, and has been presumed dead based on blood evidence found in the garage of her New Canaan home, arrest warrants provided by state police after Fotis Dulos’ arrest in January.

Anyone with credible information related to her disappearance is asked to call the WDMCS at 800-203-0004.
