"On July 3rd, 2019 members of the Connecticut State Police K-9 Unit conducted a search on the property of the MDC reservoir located in West Hartford," stated New Canaan Police Lt. Jason Ferraro. "This search was conducted as a part of the ongoing criminal investigation into the disappearance of Jennifer Farber Dulos.

"As stated previously this is a multi agency investigation including the New Canaan Police and Connecticut State Police.

"As more information becomes appropriate for public release additional press releases and or press conferences will occur."

It appears that nothing has been found at the facility, reports NBC Connecticut. The search included a dive team, but whether investigators will continue searching the facility after Wednesday was not immediately known.

Fotis Dulos and Jennifer Dulos, who together have five children, were in the midst of a contentious divorce and child custody battle at the time of her disappearance on May 24.

Since then, a host of locations in New Canaan, Farmington, Avon, and Hartford, among others, have been searched. Fotis Dulos, and his ex-girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, have been charged with evidence tampering and hindering a prosecution in connection with Jennifer Dulos' disappearance.

The two are accused of discarding items stained with Jennifer Dulos' blood soon after her disappearance. Both are free on bond and have pleaded not guilty.
