Description

Jennifer Dulos and Fotis Dulos marry in 2004. Thirteen years later the marriage fails and the couple file for divorce. The circumstances are anything but amiable. Hundreds of motions are filed during the two-year proceedings.  In 2017 Jennifer Dulos files for an emergency order for full custody of their five children.  She alleges that her husband 's behavior is "irrational, unsafe, bullying, threatening and controlling. She says she is afraid for not only her safety, but the physical and emotional well-being of the children.
Moving forward to the Friday before Memorial Day,  Jennifer Dulos drops her children off at school near her New Canaan Connecticut home.  She had an 11 a.m. appointment, which she missed. No one hears from her for 10 hours.  That night, Jennifer Dulos is reported missing by her family and friends, and the search begins.  When investigators arrive at Jennifer Dulos’ home,  blood stains are visible not only on the garage floor, but garbage cans and a car parked in the garage. The car in the garage was not the Chevy Suburban the mom was known to drive. Police initiated a search for her vehicle. A little over an hour later,  and just three miles from the home, officers find the abandoned Suburban by Waveny Park. It contains blood evidence too. Back at the home, investigators determined someone had tried to clean the concrete floor.    Officers canvassed the park, handed out fliers, used canines and aerial searches. And most dramatically,  video searches of local CCTV cameras. Surveillance cameras capture a man appearing to be Fotis Dulos disposing of garbage bags in as many as 30 receptacles in the area.  A woman can be seen in the passenger seat of the man's car.  Police recover clothes and household items with Jennifer Dulos' blood on it in trash cans around Hartford. Specifically, the bags contained women’s clothing, plastic zip-ties and a white T-shirt – all stained.    police also found a stained utility knife, a bath towel, and cleaning items such as a kitchen sponge.
The woman in the vehicle with Fotis Dulos is identified as his live-in girlfriend Michelle Troconis. Police search warrants say Michelle Troconis identified photos of the surveillance videos as Fotis Dulos, and admitted that she was the woman pictured. She confirmed multiple stops were made to discard bags, but she denies knowing what was in them.  Fotis Dulos and Troconis, 44, are arrested, charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and hindering prosecution. They both pleaded not guilty.
