Would any woman, who was romantically involved with a man, go with him to dump trash bags 10 miles away without knowing what was in them?

Troconis Guilty on All CountsAround 11 o’clock this morning (March 1, 2024), the jury returned with a verdict of guilty on all counts in the trial of Michelle Troconis (above) for her role in the disappearance of Jennifer Farber Dulos, who vanished May 24, 2019.
The Defendant was visibly shaken when the verdict was read.
After Judge Kevin A. Randolph set her bond at $6 million, Ms. Troconis was escorted from the courtroom in handcuffs. Because she was unable to immediately post bond, she was transported to the York Correctional Institution in Niantic. Should she post bond at a later date, she will be under house arrest and fitted with a GPS monitoring device.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 31, 2024. Initially, she was to be sentenced May 24, however, because this will be the 5th anniversary of Jennifer Dulos’s disappearance, her attorney, Jon Schoenhorn, argued that the date was inappropriate.
Following the proceedings, Schoenhorn told reporters his client was not doing well. “I believe still there was little evidence,” he said. “It was essentially speculation, guesswork. And the other thing that I thought, to rely on the unreliability of memory over hours and hours of interrogation.”
During a news conference, her family said there would be an appeal.Sources: Jenn Brink and Braley Dodson, WTNH, March 1, 2024; The Stamford Advocate, March 1, 2024, and WFSB, March 1, 2024.

Would any woman, who was romantically involved with a man, go with him to dump trash bags 10 miles away without knowing what was in them? Now that she's been convicted and facing 20 years in prison, maybe she'll try to make a deal and tell where the body is in exchange for a reduced sentence.

OK, we all know men are dogs, but if the nanny is telling the truth, and I don't see where she would have had any reason to lie, things were fine between Jennifer and Fotis until Michelle Troconis came along. I think Troconis set out to "get" Fotis and she couldn't have cared less that he had five young children. For that alone, she deserves time in prison, even though she didn't actually break the law. In the past, she could have been charged with alienation of affection, which is still illegal in some states.

Michelle Troconis Remains in Jail
Three days after Michelle Troconis, 49, was found guilty on all counts in the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos, she remains confined in the York Correctional Institution in Niantic, Conn. She had been free on a $2 million bond since 2019, however, the judge increased said bond by $4 million once the verdict was read.
In order to set her free between now and May 31, her sentencing date, her family and friends would have to pay 7 percent of $4 million, i.e., $280,000, to a bale bondsman, or 10 percent, $400,000 in cash, to the court. The court will not accept assets such as real estate in lieu of cash.
