Twisted Love, Lies, and Murder: Why CT’s Jennifer Dulos Story Deserves a Netflix Series

Canaan was the home of Jennifer Dulos and her husband, Fotis, before both of their lives tragically fell apart. It began with a messy divorce and it ended with a mother of five vanishing without a trace — and one of Connecticut’s most chilling murder investigations spiraling out of control.

I'm no TV exec, but in my humble opinion, this case has all the makings of a compelling TV mini-series crime drama. Why, you might ask: tangled relationships, psychological warfare, missing person intrigue, courtroom drama, and characters that practically write themselves. It's a freakin' no brainer and here's why.

If I were the 'Series Creator' at Netflix, I would name the mini-series "Missing." There would be nine episodes running between 45 and 60 minutes each. The episodes would break down like this:

** Episode 1: "Gone" - Jennifer drops her kids off at school and then mysteriously vanishes. The police find her abandoned SUV. Meanwhile, flashbacks reveal the struggles in her marriage and the hints of controlling behavior.

** Episode 2: "Perfect Husband" 
Fotis Dulos's life is a captivating blend of charm and success with a touch of self-focus. While it appears to be an ideal suburban story, deeper examination reveals underlying concerns and control issues.

** Episode 3: “The Mistress”
Enter Michelle Troconis. Who is she? What does she know? We see how her version of the truth doesn’t quite align with Fotis’s. Her interview tapes become central.

** Episode 4: “The Evidence”
Blood in the garage. Surveillance footage. Trash bags. DNA. Police piece together a horrifying timeline. The tension spikes. Jennifer’s friends and family start talking.

**  Episode 5: “Grave Intentions”
Kent Mawhinney's intriguing connection to Fotis is becoming clearer, especially with the potential grave site on his property. Let's explore the emerging conspiracy theories.

** Episode 6: “The Note”
Fotis is charged, then dies by suicide. He leaves behind a note. Is it a confession? A smokescreen? Troconis is left holding the legal bag.

** Episode 7: “The Trial”
Troconis faces court. Prosecutors paint her as an accomplice; her team argues she was manipulated. Jennifer’s voice echoes through diary entries and emails.

** Episode 8: “The Law of Jennifer”
Jennifer’s legacy reshapes Connecticut’s legal system. "Jennifer’s Law" passes. Domestic abuse redefined. Her family pushes for justice without a body.

**  Episode 9: “Still Missing”
Mawhinney pleads to a lesser charge. Troconis is convicted. But Jennifer’s body is still missing. Final moments blend heartbreak, frustration, and quiet resilience.

Yes, I am fascinated with this case, which is now three years old. My question to you is, "Would you watch this riveting 9-episode mini-series about Jennifer Dulos's tragic disappearance on Netflix?"

The case of Jennifer Dulos shows the harsh truths about domestic abuse and control in suburban life. Despite trials and new developments, her story continues to highlight the need for justice and awareness.
