On May 24, 2019, Jennifer Farber Dulos dropped off her five children at school, drove to her Connecticut home, and was never seen again. Dulos’ estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, was charged with her murder, but after he died by suicide the focus turned to his girlfriend, Michelle Troconis. On March 1, 2024, Troconis was found guilty of conspiring with Fotis Dulos to murder Jennifer Dulos and covering it up. 48 HOURS correspondent Erin Moriarty reports on the case against Troconis and her family’s unwavering belief in her innocence in 48 HOURS: “The Conspiracy to Murder Jennifer Dulos,” to be broadcast Saturday, April 6 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+.
“This defendant was undoubtedly part of this plan to kill Jennifer Dulos,” prosecutor Sean McGuinness told the jury. “There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it.”
Her family thinks otherwise. “My sister is not the person that the media has portrayed, that the police and the State have wanted to portray,” says Claudia Marmol. “She would never, ever, ever harm anyone else.”
Marmol tells 48 HOURS that Troconis was also a victim of Fotis Dulos. “Unfortunately, he fooled all of us,”
“She not only did not know what was in those bags …
Marmol responds, “Of course … My sister would have said it. She would have stood up.”
Troconis is expected to be sentenced on May 31, 2024, and faces up to 50 years in prison.
