In relation to the disappearance & murder of Jennifer Dulos
- Mawhinney helped found The Windsor Rod and Gun Club in East Granby, not far from the
Dulos Family Home, Farmington, Conn.. Members of the club stumbled upon what appeared to be preparations for a ‘human grave’ in the woods. - In 2019, Mawhinney‘s estranged wife told state police she believed her husband wanted her dead and that Fotis Dulos was working on behalf of her husband ‘to get rid of her.’
- Kent Mawhinney was Fotis Dulos’ attorney in a lawsuit brought against him [Fotis] by his mother-in-law,
Gloria Farber. It was filed after following the death of her husband,
Hilliard Farber. Gloria accused Fotis of not paying them back for loans they gave him to aid his business and said he owed millions of dollars.
