Michelle Troconis' family defends "one of the most hated women in America"
CBSN
On March 1, 2024, a packed courtroom watched as Michelle Troconis collapsed in tears after a jury convicted her of conspiring with her boyfriend, Fotis Dulos, to murder his estranged wife. During a seven-week trial, prosecutors accused her of destroying evidence and helping Dulos create an alibi.
Troconis' family insists she has done nothing wrong and would never hurt anyone. They say they have an innocent explanation for every bit of evidence the prosecution presented. In a new interview, Troconis' sister Claudia Marmol spoke with "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty in "The Conspiracy to Murder Jennifer Dulos," airing Saturday, April 6 at 10/9c on CBS and streaming on Paramount +.
The story began on May 24, 2019. Jennifer Dulos dropped her five children off at school and returned to her home in the quiet, affluent town of New Canaan, Connecticut. Then she vanished, leaving behind evidence of a violent struggle in her garage. Investigators zeroed in on a man whom they felt had a motive to kill Jennifer Dulos, her estranged husband Fotis Dulos, whom she was divorcing. Police learned that Fotis Dulos already had a new woman in his life — his live-in girlfriend, Michelle Troconis.
