00:00:00
it occurred to me what this case is really about it is about a mother's worst nightmare the day that Jennifer
00:00:08
doulos a loving mother of five disappeared surveillance footage showed a red truck leaving Farmington
00:00:14
Connecticut where her estranged husband lived the truck was tracked to new Kanan
00:00:18
Connecticut investigators believe fotus doulos had brought a bicycle with him and used it to bike the last three miles
00:00:25
to Jennifer's house that night fotus doulos was captured on surveillance video dumping black garbage bags into
00:00:32
public trash cans his living girlfriend Michelle tronus was in the truck with him detectives went digging through the
00:00:38
trash days later some of the things retrieved were used zip ties with uh human blood and DNA of Jennifer doulos
00:00:47
on them um female undergarments a Vineyard Vine shirt in the size that Jennifer wore investigators brought
00:00:54
Michelle in for questioning do you know it was in the bag no my my mind it's always like constru things even maybe I
00:01:01
don't know the cleaning from the house I don't know and you're saying she had no
00:01:06
idea what was in those bags that vus was getting rid of she not only did not know
00:01:11
what was in those bags she had no idea what he was actually doing he had invited her to go out to Starbucks
00:01:18
practically the entire time she's on either WhatsApp texting or making phone calls during that whole time Michelle
00:01:25
was seen leaning out of the truck and prosecutors believe that she was purposely giving cover to photus while
00:01:30
he dumped two altered license plates down the sewer while they open the door at the exact same time conveniently at
00:01:39
the right time to block the view from the tan car she told investigators it was an innocent gesture but you're
00:01:46
actually leaning out at one point of the car no I told him I I lean I had a chewing gun I took it I spit it I spit
00:01:55
it okay and my hand got sticky and I went like this Michelle would ultimately be charged with conspiracy to commit
00:02:02
murder and covering it up this defendant was undoubtedly part of this plan to kill Jenifer dulos there's no if ANS or
00:02:09
buts about it the trial against Michelle tronus began nearly 5 years after Jennifer doulos vanished in four years
00:02:16
after fotus dlos killed himself in court prosecutor showed these bloody clothes for the first time I think it was really
00:02:22
important that they did that we had seen photographs of that evidence so I knew what it looked like but being in the
00:02:32
same space the same space and time as Jennifer's clothes just really drove home that she's not here fotus employee
00:02:41
Pavo gumen was the prosecution's star witness he was the owner of that red Tacoma which he says fotus took without
00:02:48
permission when he asked for his truck back he says fotus told him that Michelle had the keys she takes the keys
00:02:55
to the Toyota Tacoma to prevent Pavel from taking the car for the weekend after all they need more time they
00:03:03
haven't gone to the car wash yet Michelle eventually returned with the keys and paval took his truck home 5
00:03:09
days after Jennifer disappeared fotus took the old beat up Tacoma to the car wash and Michelle met him there you can
00:03:15
eat off the floorboards in this truck that's how clean it was by the time we got it then fotus urged paval to remove
00:03:21
the front two seats of the Tacoma and find replacements pavl who was later given
00:03:26
immunity removed the seats kept them and later handed them over to police on the
00:03:31
passenger seat there was a blood likee stain on the on the fabric of the seat which was cut out tested at the lab and
00:03:38
it came back to Jennifer dulos's DNA blood and that was Paramount for this investigation
00:03:45
after six weeks of testimony Michelle tronus was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder but one question is still
00:03:52
unanswered where are Jennifer's remains and that's what's the most painful we don't know we don't know where she is do
00:04:00
you think you ever will I don't know
