Jurors in Missing Mom Jennifer Dulos Murder Trial See Bloody Items Pulled from Trash on Hartford Streets – Crime Online

Prosecutors in the trial of Michelle Troconis, accused of helping her lover Fotis Dulos conceal the murder of his wife in 2019, showed jurors blood-soaked items recovered from trash cans across Hartford, Connecticut after Jennifer Dulos disappeared.

In addition to a bra and shirt, jurors saw zip ties, gloves, plastic ponchos, a box cutter, and other items that a state witness testified had a “blood-like” substance on them, WVIT reported. The items were pulled from various trash cans in Hartford after investigators found surveillance video showing Fotis Dulos driving around the city putting them in the trash.

The bra and shirt, Connecticut State Police Sgt. Kevin Duggan testified, had been cut off.

Troconis, 49, was in the truck as Fotis Dulos put the items in the trash. She is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, tampering with evidence, and hindering prosecution. Fotis Dulos committed suicide in 2020 after he was charged with the death of his wife, whose body has not been found.

Prosectuors say Dulos killed Jennifer Dulos in the garage of her home in New Canaan, Connecticut, after she dropped her children off at school and cleaned up the crime scene. Jennifer Dulos was declared dead last October.

Prosecutors told the jury that the surveillance videos showing Dulos and Troconis in Hartford were recorded the evening Jennifer Dulos disappeared, but they weren’t discovered for nearly a week. Some evidence, they said, likely disappeared in that time as trash was picked up.

On Monday, prosecutors showed video of Dulos dropping off a mat near a building and putting an envelope in a sewer drain, the Stamford Advocate said. That envelope contained license plates once registered to him.

The Duloses were going through a contentious divorce at the time of Jennifer Dulos’s disappearance. She had moved out of the family home in Farmington with the couple’s five children. Fotis Dulos lived in the Farmington house with Troconis.

The trial continues with on Wednesday.
