Jennifer Doulos, 50, was reported missing on 24 May.
The Connecticut mother of five was last seen driving her black SUV that day. Her estranged Greek American husband Fotis Doulos, who allegedly owes $1million ($AUD1.4 million) to his mother-in-law, claims that the children’s nanny whisked all his children to an apartment owned by his mother-in-law Gloria Farber, 85, in New York City. He is accusing her of holding his children under armed guard.
The estranged couple have been in and out of court since Jennifer filed for divorce in June 27, with the husband submitting court documents to regain custody of his children from his wife.
His mother-in-law, in turn, filed a motion requesting that his financial records in real estate be opened up after alleging that he owed her and her late husband $1million after they loaned him $1.5 million for his business in 2004.
