Ep 7. In Broad Daylight

In Broad Daylight, the seventh episode of season nine of Disappeared, tells the story of a missing mother of three, Jennifer Dulos. Jennifer disappeared on May 24, 2019 in New Canaan, Connecticut, leaving behind her children and a home with no signs of a struggle. In what began as a routine missing person case, investigators soon discovered that Jennifer's estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, was the last person to have seen her.

As the episode unfolds, viewers learn about Jennifer's tumultuous marriage and legal battles with Fotis over custody of their children and assets. The episode features interviews with family members, friends, law enforcement officials, and legal experts who provide insight into Jennifer's life and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

One of the primary focuses of the investigation was Fotis himself. The police discovered that Fotis had been involved with another woman, Michelle Troconis, and had made several trips to dispose of evidence soon after Jennifer's disappearance. Detectives conducted extensive searches of Fotis' properties, hoping to find clues or evidence that would lead to Jennifer's whereabouts.

Throughout the episode, viewers see the emotional toll that Jennifer's disappearance has taken on her loved ones, as they share their thoughts and feelings with the camera. Jennifer's mother, Gloria, expresses her shock and dismay at the news of Jennifer's disappearance, as well as her anger towards Fotis. Jennifer's friends describe the kind of person she was and express their disbelief that she would just disappear without a trace.

With no leads and few clues, the case took a dramatic turn when Fotis was arrested and charged with Jennifer's murder in January 2020. The episode explores the evidence that led to Fotis' arrest, including DNA analysis and surveillance footage. The arrest of Fotis brought some closure to Jennifer's family and friends, but the question of what happened to her remains unanswered.

In Broad Daylight is a poignant and emotionally charged episode that highlights the devastating impact of missing persons cases on families and loved ones. The episode also serves as a reminder of the importance of law enforcement efforts in finding missing persons and bringing perpetrators to justice.
