A love triangle that fascinated and appalled New England and beyond resulted in former ESPN host Michelle Troconis being found guilty of conspiring to murder Jennifer Dulos, the estranged wife of Troconis’ boyfriend, wealthy businessman Fotis Dulos.
On Friday, a jury of six allegedly gathered for slightly over two hours of closing arguments in a Stamford Superior Courtroom before making a decision.
Fotis Dulos was also charged with the disappearance of his estranged wife, but he died of an apparent suicide before the trial began.
CNN provides further information about Jennifer Dulos’ disappearance, which was most recently covered on NBC’s “Dateline” on Friday night:
“Jennifer Dulos was last seen in May 2019 after dropping her children off at school. … She was in the middle of a contentious divorce and custody battle with Fotis Dulos at the time of her disappearance …
“Despite her body never being found, Dulos was officially pronounced dead through a declaration of death by a Connecticut judge in October 2023 … She likely suffered a combination of “traumatic, blunt-force injuries,” according to the state’s chief medical examiner. Authorities found a blood-like stain in three places on her vehicle, which was parked in her garage in New Canaan.”
Troconis was also found guilty of one count of obstructing the prosecution, two charges of conspiracy to tamper with physical evidence, and two counts of tampering with physical evidence.
The verdict upset Troconis, who worked for ESPN in South America, according to her attorney, Jon Schoenhorn.
Her family branded the verdict “a tremendous injustice,” claiming she is innocent and “will keep proving that forever.”
