Prosecutors say Michelle Troconis had a hand in the 2019 disappearance and presumed death of  Jennifer Farber Dulos. Ms Troconis’ trial, which began three weeks ago, has been buffeted with so many jury problems it may threaten the integrity of the trial.

Jennifer disappeared on May 24, 2019, after dropping her five children off at school in the affluent Connecticut town of New Canaan. According to prosecutors, her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, attacked and killed her in the garage of her rental house before putting her body in the back of a borrowed red pickup truck and disposing of it at an unknown hiding place. Later that same day, Fotis allegedly drove his black truck around Albany Avenue in nearby Hartford, disposing of evidence during a series of stops at multiple dumpsters, accompanied by Ms. Troconis, his then-girlfriend, in the passenger seat.
