Gone Mom: The Disappearance of Jennifer Dulos

2021 · 88 min

A tense, somber true-crime drama that keeps you uneasy as a bitter divorce turns into something far more sinister.

Overview
The story of Jennifer Dulos, the wealthy Connecticut mother-of-five who mysteriously vanished on May 24, 2019. Jennifer believed that she had found her Prince Charming in Fotis Dulos, but by the time of her disappearance, their 13-year marriage had disintegrated and they were engaged in a bitter divorce and a contentious custody dispute for their five children. When she disappeared without a trace after dropping off her children at school, the police turned the spotlight on Fotis, who claimed that Jennifer had staged her own disappearance a la Gone Girl.
