Fotis Dulos' Attorney Says Girlfriend Passed Polygraph Test
Attorney Norm Pattis told radio station WPLR that Michelle Troconis passed a polygraph in connection with missing mom Jennifer Farber Dulos.
NEW CANAAN, CT — Michelle Troconis, the girlfriend of estranged husband Fotis Dulos, recently passed a polygraph test that could help Fotis Dulos in connection with the case involving the disappearance of his wife, Jennifer Farber Dulos, according to attorney Norm Pattis.
In a radio interview Thursday morning with Chaz and AJ on 99.1 WPLR, Pattis said that Fotis Dulos "did not cause his wife to disappear or cause her harm," but also said that he believes Jennifer Dulos may have been the victim of foul play. Listen to the interview below.
But Troconis has been ruled out as a participant in any foul play that may have taken place in New Canaan, according to Pattis, in part because of the polygraph she passed. She has also provided an alibi that has "satisfied police."

In the arrest warrants for Troconis and Fotis Dulos, authorities state that Jennifer Dulos was the victim of a "serious physical assault" at her New Canaan home at the time of her disappearance.
While Troconis has met with prosecutors, Pattis believes that she has not provided authorities with any information of value, which could help his client because she also told police she had no knowledge of what may have been in the bags she and Fotis Dulos are accused of discarding.

Police said the two threw away bags in Hartford that contained items stained with Jennifer Dulos' blood.
The Hartford Courant reports that black Ford F-150 Raptor pickup truck, that police said Fotis Dulos was driving when items were discarded in Hartford, was seen in New Canaan on May 24, the day Jennifer Dulos disappeared.
Fotis Dulos reportedly was not driving it at the time - an unnamed employee of his home-building company was - and the truck has been seized by authorities.
Pattis has private investigators working on the case, he said, and his law firm and Fotis Dulos are establishing his alibi for the morning of the 24th. Previously, Pattis said Troconis and her attorney, Andrew Bowman, have not spoken to him or Fotis Dulos.
Authorities continued their search this week for Jennifer Dulos, and for clues to her disappearance, at a pond in Avon and at the Hartford garbage plant where discarded items may have ended up.
