Troconis retrieves items from Fotis Dulos’ home

- By Lisa Backus

Michelle Troconis has retrieved her $283 weight bench and glasses from Home Goods from the Farmington home she used to share with Fotis Dulos, her attorney said Friday.

Attorney Jon Schoenhorn had accused Christophe­r Hug, an attorney an administra­tor for Fotis Dulos’ estate, of preventing Troconis from retrieving her personal belongings.

Schoenhorn said he has withdrawn his motion against Hug after his client was allowed Thursday to obtain her items.

Fotis Dulos faced murder and other charges in the death and disappeara­nce of his estranged wife when he died Jan. 30 from an apparent suicide.

Troconis is facing conspiracy to commit murder, tampering with evidence and hindering prosecutio­n charges in the case.

Jennifer Dulos vanished May 24, 2019 and has been presumed dead by police based on blood evidence found in the garage of her New Canaan home where they believe she was attacked, according to arrest warrants.

Troconis and Fotis Dulos were living together in his palatial Jefferson Crossing home in Farmington when Jennifer Dulos disappeare­d.

Hug was appointed in February as the administra­tor of the estate to sort out the tangled financial affairs of Fotis Dulos who was deeply in debt when he died.

Schoenhorn had submitted to the probate court a detailed list of items owned by Troconis that remained in the Farmington home.

The list included towels, a juice maker and several other items. Schoenhorn said in the motion seeking the removal of Hug as the administra­tor that his client was being denied access to several specific items, including the weight bench and drinking glasses.

Schoenhorn withdrew the motion Thursday after Hug said he would allow Troconis to retrieve the items.

Troconis is next scheduled to appear in court on the criminal charges on Aug. 6. Attorney Kent Mahinney, a longtime friend of Fotis Dulos, has also been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the case and is due in court next week.
