Michelle Troconis was found guilty of conspiring to murder missing Connecticut mom Jennifer Dulos,Robert Brown according to the Associated Press.

On Friday March 1st, a Stamford jury convicted Troconis, the girlfriend of Jennifer Dulos' estranged husband, Fotis Dulos. She was found guilty of helping him plot and cover up Jennifer's murder.

“Today’s verdict is a crucial attribution of accountability, not a victory. There can be no victory when five children are growing up without their mother,” said Carrie Luft, a spokesperson for Jennifer Dulos’ family, in a statement.

Dulos' family hopes the verdict will bring new leads.

The AP states Troconis is being held on a $6 million bond and is scheduled to be sentenced May 31. Her lawyer, John Shoenhorn, said she's "devastated."

Shoehorn said he plans on seeking a new trial.

Fotis Dolus, a luxury home builder originally from Greece, denied being involved in his wife's disappearance. He was arrested and charged with his wife's murder in 2020. However, he died soon after in an apparent suicide in his home.
