Kent Mawhinney, a critical player in the ongoing case of missing New Canaan mother Jennifer Farber Dulos, gave an interview to state police and has been branded in court documents as a “jailhouse informant,” court documents say.
Mawhinney’s potential role as a cooperating witness could mark a critical turn in unraveling the story of what happened to Dulos, who has been missing for more than 18 months. Authorities believe she was killed by her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, who took his own life in late January.
The revelations about Mawhinney -- charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the case -- were made in a In a two-page motion filed Monday by attorney Jon Schoenhorn, who represents Dulos’ one-time girlfriend Michelle Troconis, who is also charged with conspiracy.
