Fotis Dulos: 'My Only Concern Is My Children'

STAMFORD, CT — Fotis Dulos received another pre-trial continuance in Stamford Superior Court Wednesday, but not before the accused husband of missing mother-of-five Jennifer Farber Dulos sent a message to his kids that he misses them.

"My only concern is my children," he said outside of court. "I care about deeply about them, and I can't wait to be with them again."

The last time Fotis Dulos saw his children was at Jennifer Dulos' New Canaan home, a couple of days before his estranged wife's disappearance on May 24, according to prosecutors. The couple was in the midst of a contentious divorce and child custody fight at the time of her disappearance.

Fotis Dulos, who faces charges in connection with his wife's disappearance, is scheduled to next appear in court on Jan. 7. The continuance date was requested by Attorney Chris La Tronica and granted by Judge Gary White.

La Tronica, who did not comment following Wednesday's hearing, filled in for Dulos' usual attorney, Norm Pattis, who was not available.

In addition to Fotis Dulos, his ex-girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, also has been charged with evidence tampering and hindering a prosecution in connection with the case, and she is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 6. She recently moved out of Fotis Dulos' Farmington home where she had been living at the time of Jennifer Dulos' disappearance.

Troconis and Fotis Dulos are accused of throwing away items in Hartford area soon after Jennifer Dulos was reported missing, and many of those items tested positive for her blood.

Pattis has speculated that he anticipates his client will be charged with killing Jennifer Dulos, though if she is dead, her body has not been found.
