Socialite Begins Trial in Jennifer Farber Dulos Murder Coverup

Nearly five years after Jennifer Farber Dulos vanished without a trace, a socialite who dated the Connecticut mother’s estranged husband is standing trial.

Michelle Troconis, 45, has pleaded not guilty to several charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence, in connection with Jennifer Dulos’ 2019 disappearance and presumed murder. Prosecutors allege that Troconis conspired with her former boyfriend, Fotis Dulos, and then took steps to cover up the crime.

The trial marks the first legal proceeding in the case that drew international attention. Farber Dulos, 50, was last seen on May 24, 2019, after dropping her five kids off at school. Her abandoned car was later found on a New Canaan road, and her body has never been recovered, but a judge declared her dead before trial.
