Michelle Troconis is sentenced to 20 years in prison for her involvement in the presumed murder of Jennifer Dulos. The sentencing took place today in Stamford following her March conviction. Troconis must serve at least 14-and-a-half years of her sentence, followed by five years of probation.
During the sentencing, Theodore Dulos, the son of Jennifer Dulos, delivered an emotional impact statement, expressing the profound loss of his mother. Jennifer Dulos, a mother of five, vanished in 2019 after dropping her children off at school in New Canaan. Despite extensive searches, her body has never been found. A judge declared her dead last year.
Troconis faced charges of conspiracy to commit murder, accused of aiding her boyfriend, Fotis Dulos, in covering up the crime. Fotis Dulos, Jennifer’s estranged husband, committed suicide in January 2020 after being charged with her murder.
The case has garnered significant media attention, highlighting the tragic disappearance and presumed murder of Jennifer Dulos and the subsequent legal proceedings involving those connected to the crime. Troconis initially faced up to 50 years in prison, but the sentence handed down reflects her plea deal and cooperation with the investigation.
As the legal chapter closes with Troconis’s sentencing, the Dulos family and the community continue to grapple with the unresolved disappearance of Jennifer Dulos and the lasting impact on her five children.
