Husband’s girlfriend in Jennifer Dulos case ruled out as suspect: lawyer

A lawyer for Fotis Dulos, the estranged husband of missing Connecticut mom Jennifer Dulos, on Thursday claimed his client’s girlfriend has been ruled out by police as a suspect in any “foul play” after taking a polygraph test and offering an alibi.

Fotis and his gal pal, Michelle Troconis, were arrested earlier this month after investigators allegedly caught them d✱umping bags containing clothes and 💮cleaning products splattered with Jennifer’s blood.

But in a radio interview Thursday, Fotis’ attorney claimed Troconis has since passed a polygraph exam in which she said she didn’t know what was in the bags — and has an alibi for the time of Jennifer’s disappearance.

“My understanding is … the police have ruled her out as a participant in any foul play in New Canaan,” .

“My understanding is she’s taken a polygraph exam on the question of whether she had any knowledge of any foul play or disposal of evidence and she satisfied police in that polygraph exam and she provided an alibi.”

He added: “It’s my understanding that she sat a polygraph saying she didn’t know what was in any of those bags.”

Troconis has been speaking with investigators in the case since she was bailed out, but Pattis said he doesn’t think she’s given police “anything of value.”

Pattis wouldn’t comment on Fotis allegedly dumping the bags, saying only: “If there was material with Ms. Dulos’ blood or a sponge or evidence of a cleanup in my clients’ possession, we are investigating how that might have happened.”

He insisted his client didn’t “cause his wife to disappear or cause her harm.”

Jennifer vanished on May 24, and police later found bloodstains inside the garage of her New Canaan home indicating the mom of five was beaten there, according to court 🌼documents.

Investigators allege Fotis and Troconis later stopped at more than 30 locations near Hartford, dumping items splattered with Jennifer’s blood in roadside trash cans.

Boꦅth have been charged with evidence-tamperi🍸ng and hindering prosecution in the case and are now out on bail.
