Both shows are scheduled to air on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2019. Check local listing for time and channel.
The two shows are airing a day after Troconis, the 44-year-old woman facing charges in the disappearance of Jennifer Farber Dulos, appeared briefly in Norwalk Superior Court and had her case continued to Oct. 10.
The hearing before Judge William Wenzel was completed within seconds, with both her attorney, Andrew Bowman, and State's Attorney Richard Colangelo agreeing on the next court date, which also was moved to Stamford Superior Court.
Troconis was in court for her arraignment on a new charge of tampering with evidence from state police in connection with Jennifer Dulos' disappearance. Dulos, the estranged wife of Troconis' ex-boyfriend Fotis Dulos, vanished on May 24 and is believed to have been the victim of a violent attack on that date.
Authorities again searched areas near Fotis Dulos' Farmington home last week looking for clues to Jennifer Dulos' disappearance. No new information on the results of those searches have been released.
Neither Troconis nor Bowman spoke to reporters on the way into court or when exiting the facility after the hearing.
The arrest warrant paints a picture of Troconis lying to investigators and prosecutors during numerous interviews about the case.
"Troconis claimed she was 'mistaken' when she reported that she and Dulos had shared a shower on the morning of 5/24/19," the warrant reads. "This initial claim was inaccurate, despite the fact it was appeared on the 'script' prepared by Dulos and perpetuated by Troconis in her first interview."
Her arrest came one day after Fotis Dulos was re-arrested on the similar charge. Fotis Dulos' latest case also was moved from Norwalk to Stamford Superior Court, and it was continued to Oct. 4.
