Jennifer sued Fotis for divorce in June 2017, alleging that he was having an affair and wanted to move his “paramour” and her 10-year-old daughter into the couple’s 15,000-square-foot home in Farmington.

Good lord. It’s the Fairfax murder all over again.

Do these killers read the same playbook?

and in very large font! I'm beginning to think she's low in the brains dept.

I watched the victim impact statements today in the sentencing hearing for Traconis.

Each of Jennifer’s children spoke (off camera but their voices recorded) as well as a couple of her closest friends, her sister and her mom. They were very compelling and heartbreaking statements - I’ve seen many sentencings in my career as criminal lawyer on both sides, but none so compelling as this one.

I hope the judge gives her the maximum - she really destroyed those kids by moving on their dad and being instrumental in compelling and covering up his murder of their mother.

Sentenced 14.5 years - wow. That seems like a lot given she wasn’t actually accused of killing Jennifer - just helping the husband cover it up. On the other hand, she had every opportunity to come forward, help prosecution, possibly lead police to a body or at a minimum confirm to those poor children that their mother had in fact died and wasn’t coming back home. I hope Traconis drops her innocent act and feels true remorse for what she put Jennifer’s mom and kids through in the aftermath of Fotis’ murder.

I don't think 14 years is enough. She destroyed the kids' childhoods, but that didn't concern her. She put her own child in a strange and uncomfortable situation when they moved into the Fotis home. Subsequently she destroyed her own child's life with the trial and terrible publicity. Too bad they can't lock her up for life.

I just keep thinking about the husband perp. What an unbelievable narcissist. He even killed himself to avoid accountability, knowing she'd pay his price regardless of what he said.
And where is the body? What did they do with the body?

Two horrible people that managed to find each other and cause irreparable harm,

She could have really helped herself if she had given them some info on where to find Jennifer. Instead, she denied the obvious. I wonder why she thought this was a good strategy.

I hope all the DCUM posters who over the years have made comments indicating that affairs and divorce don't have a terrible impact on children listened to the emotion in these children's voices as they related their pain. Even if Jennifer Dulos had not been murdered, her children's statements about their lives being torn apart by their father's abandonment of the family and taking up with Michelle are painful to hear. Adults should not be so selfish.

I never had kids because of all the horrible crap I watched my father do to my mother and how she was too sad to really take her of her children and sometimes she lashed out at us because we were the ties that bound her to him. (I wish desperately she had left him; I would rather us have been poor and struggling than comfortable and bullied and abused by him.)

The youngest Dulos daughter talked about how she remembers when she was very small Michelle Traconis would lift her down from the top bunk because she was scared to come down by herself - that she trusted Traconis to catch her. And now she doesn’t trust anybody and doesn’t know if she ever will again (attachment disorder) because Traconis helped her father kill her mother and hide her body away from her kids forever.

Some days I feel downright anti-natalist because of all I’ve seen life do to so many children. After growing up abused and watching my mother abused and cheated on etc. I went into domestic violence advocacy and then criminal law and child protection and I have seen absolutely all the most horrible things that adults put children through in this life and it made me terrified to ever have one.

Please put your kids first - or don’t bother having them, you don’t have to have them just to check the box.

PP here. I'm so very sorry for the pain you've experienced but also most grateful for your chosen career and all that you do for kids. I'm a long time educator and totally agree with your comments.

Probably liquified it in lye. It’s gone.

Such a tragic, horrific death and how terrible for those poor kids to lose their mom and have to live with the knowledge that their dad murdered her and disposed of her body in a way that it can't be found. It's also amazing that Jennifer's mom has been able to care for them with the help of that incredible nanny so that they could remain together.

So now Michelle Troconis is trying to get conviction reversed. Does she have a chance of that happening? Ice never heard her express any sadness or remorse about Jennifer's death or her role as an affair partner.
