The Evolution of Jennifer Dulos’ Disappearance into a Complicated Murder Investigation
Michelle emphasized, “Despite the mistreatment I have experienced at the hands of the police, I have no information regarding Jennifer Dulos’ whereabouts or what may have happened to her. While I understand that I am not required to prove my innocence under American law, it certainly feels that way given the intense public scrutiny I have been under.”
The legal proceedings were repeatedly postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to temporary closures of courts across the nation.
“It has been over four years and seven months since Jennifer Farber Dulos was tragically murdered and vanished,” Carrie Luft stated on behalf of Jennifer’s family in a declaration issued the day prior to Michelle’s trial commencing, according to People. “We, Jennifer’s family and friends, have been patiently waiting, recognizing that the legal process can be slow and meticulous, especially with the disruptions caused by a global pandemic.”
“As we embark on this trial,” she added, “it is essential to keep in mind who lies at the heart of it all: Jennifer, whose five children have lost their mother and, inevitably, both parents. Jennifer’s family and close ones have been deprived of a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and lifelong friend. We are not seeking closure, as nothing can fill the void left by Jennifer’s absence. Our aspiration is that this trial leads to accountability and provides answers.”
