Gillian Flynn is 'sickened' by 'Gone Girl' defense in missing woman case
Lawyers for the husband of Jennifer Dulos, a Connecticut woman who has not been seen since May 24, have suggested that she may be recreating the narratively compelling but unrealistic plot of Gillian Flynn’s 2012 novelDulos, a 50-year-old mother of five, was in the middle of a custody battle with her ex, Fotis Dulos, when she disappeared.
An attorney for Fotis, Norm Pattis, says he’s “investigating the possibility that this is a ‘Gone Girl’-type case and considering the possibility that no third party was involved in foul play.” Flynn used a recent statement to New Haven ABC affiliate WTNH to remind everyone there’s a reason fiction and non-fiction are two separate sections of the bookstore:
“I’ve seen in recent coverage that Jennifer’s husband and his defense attorney have put forward a so-called ‘Gone Girl theory’ to explain Jennifer’s disappearance. It absolutely sickens me that a work of fiction written by me would be used by Fotis Dulos’s lawyer as a defense, and as a hypothetical, sensationalized motive behind Jennifer’s very real and very tragic disappearance.
