Status of custody of Dulos children in limbo as mother is still missing and father sits behind bars

NEW CANAAN, Conn. (WTIC) -- The status of the custody of the five Dulos children is in limbo as their mother Jennifer Dulos remains missing, 12 days after her disappearance.

Wednesday morning, a Stamford judge took no action after Jennifer's mother Gloria Farber requested custody, at least temporarily, of her five grandchildren.

Gloria did not appear, but a judge told her attorney that they will work to schedule a hearing date.

Michael Meehan, the children's attorney, said the children are safe and have been staying with their grandmother in New York City since the day their mother disappeared.

Meanwhile, there are no new leads of the whereabouts of Jennifer.

Her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos sits behind bars, charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution, in connection with Jennifer's disappearance.
