Michelle Troconis, 49, is on trial in Fairfield County, Connecticut for her alleged involvement in the murder of Jennifer Farber Dulos, 50. The victim disappeared from her home in New Canaan, Connecticut on May 24, 2019, and her body has not been found. Suspicions fell on her husband, Fotis Dulos, who was in the midst of a contentious divorce with Jennifer. Fotis Dulos died by suicide, leaving Troconis and his friend, attorney Kent Mawhinney, facing allegations of participation in the murder conspiracy.
Authorities claim that Troconis joined Fotis Dulos when he disposed of evidence in trash cans across Hartford, Connecticut. They also discovered an “alibi script” at the apartment that Troconis and Fotis Dulos shared. This alibi script presented the cover story she used when first speaking to investigators, although she allegedly began changing her account in subsequent interviews. Troconis has firmly distanced herself from Fotis Dulos, stating that she believes it was a mistake to have trusted him.
Throughout the investigation, Troconis has maintained her innocence, denying any involvement in the murder of Jennifer Farber Dulos. She has expressed regret for trusting Fotis Dulos, suggesting that there were aspects of his character she had not previously understood. With no evidence of Jennifer’s whereabouts, the trial of Michelle Troconis is ongoing as she fights to prove her innocence in the murder of her ex-boyfriend’s estranged wife.
