Michelle Troconis Sentenced to 14.5 Years for Role in Jennifer Dulos' Disappearance: Children Express Anger and Pain

Michelle Troconis, a dual American and Venezuelan citizen, was sentenced to 14.5 years in prison on May 31, 2024 for her role in helping Fotis Dulos cover up the murder of his estranged wife Jennifer Dulos. The crime took place on May 24, 2019 amid a contentious custody dispute between Jennifer and Fotis. According to various sources, including ABC News and Yahoo! News, the children of Jennifer Dulos confronted Michelle Troconis during her sentencing and expressed their pain and anger towards her. Petros Dulos demanded a fifty-year sentence for Troconis, while Christiane Dulos stated that she was the reason why she felt lost in the world.

Jennifer Dulos, a mother of five, disappeared on May 24, 2019 and is presumed dead. Her body has not been found. Michelle Troconis maintains her innocence and does not know what was in those bags discarded on the day of Jennifer's disappearance.

Fotis Dulos was charged with Jennifer's murder shortly after her disappearance, but he died by suicide while out on bail in 2020. Michelle Troconis was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, tampering with evidence, and hindering the prosecution in March 2024.

The children of Jennifer Dulos lost both their parents in the nightmare murder-scandal that consumed their childhoods. The family had been living in New Canaan at the time of Jennifer's disappearance, having moved out of their Farmington home due to a contentious divorce and custody battle. Michelle Troconis and her daughter were living with Fotis Dulos as the estranged spouses navigated their divorce.

On the day of Jennifer's disappearance, the couple was seen on surveillance video in Fotis Dulos' pickup truck discarding trash bags around Hartford. Investigators were able to retrieve some of those bags and found bloody zip ties and clothing that were matched to Jennifer. Michelle Troconis has maintained her innocence and appealed her conviction.
