Carrie Luft, a spokesperson for Jennifer Dulos' family, appeared on "Good Morning America" Thursday morning to say that the couple's five children "miss their mother terribly, but they're doing as well under the circumstances as one could." The children, who attend New Canaan Country School, are safe and were never missing, police said.
Through his attorney, Michael Rose of the law firm Rose Kallor, Fotis Dulos claims the children are being tended by Jennifer Dulos' mother in New York, under an armed guard, writes the Stamford Advocate. Jennifer Dulos reportedly feared Fotis Dulos, she said in court documents.
Additionally, her family, which had given Fotis Dulos large sums of money to help his home building business, also sued him after he stopped paying them back.
"If Jennifer is in any way able to see this, I just want to say we love you and we're going to bring you home safely," Luft told GMA.
