Inside the deadly 'suburban nightmare' that shattered a Connecticut family's world
Share this @internewscast.com

Five years after a mother from Connecticut vanished from her home and was eventually declared dead, a renewed examination of a case that has troubled suburbia is shedding light on the complexities of the American dream.

Jennifer Dulos disappeared after she dropped her five young children off at school in New Canaan on May 24, 2020. At the time, she was embroiled in a contentious divorce with her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos.

Despite authorities launching an extensive search, her body was never found. 

Last year, Troconis was found guilty of all charges against her, including conspiring to murder Jennifer. She received a 20-year prison sentence.

“This latest book, like many previous ones, is merely another attempt to profit from tragedy, speculation, and sensationalism,” Troconis’ attorney, Darnell Crosland, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Michelle Troconis has been demonized for years based on narratives that overlook the facts and evidence. She steadfastly maintains her innocence and looks forward to vindicating her name through appropriate legal avenues, rather than in the court of public opinion or through a tabloid-style publication.”

Mawhinney pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of interfering with police and was sentenced to 11 months in prison, which matched the time he had already served.

Mawhinney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

In spite of the two convictions, Jennifer’s body was never discovered, and she was declared legally dead in 2023—an outcome that Cohen believes is an unjust conclusion for an already shattered family.

“This woman in the prime of her life is killed and she doesn’t get to see her kids grow up,” Cohen told Fox News Digital. “Her kids don’t get a mother, don’t get a father and have a very tough legacy. Because what’s the legacy of your mother was killed by your father, who then, in a fit of self-pity and fear, killed himself? So there can never be justice, but there’s proper punishment – and it’s sort of the best that we can do.”
