At the time, the two were fighting for a divorce and custody of their five children, and Troconis was Fotis Dulos’ girlfriend and they lived together in separate homes.

Prosecutors said Troconis knew about the plot in advance, suggesting that Troconis answered Fotis Dulos’ cell phone on the morning of May 24, when he was reportedly in New Canaan, and helped create an alibi. He insisted that it must have been. Prosecutors said the man left his cell phone at his home in Farmington, about 110 miles from the Hartford neighborhood.
