When a mother of five vanished from her Connecticut home in May 2019, the case quickly became one of the most closely watched criminal investigations in the region. There was no body, no confession, and no eyewitness to a violent crime-yet years later, a jury would still reach a verdict.Michelle Troconis is a carefully researched, fact-based examination of the investigation, trial, and legal reasoning that followed the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos. Rather than relying on speculation or sensationalism, this book focuses on how law enforcement and the courts evaluated evidence, behavior, and circumstance in the absence of physical recovery.Written in a clear, professional tone, the book traces the case from the initial disappearance through the investigation, arrests, courtroom proceedings, and post-trial challenges. It explores how timelines were constructed, how circumstantial evidence was weighed, and how prosecutors sought to establish responsibility when definitive answers were unavailable.This is not a book about rumors or unverified claims. It is an examination of process-how the justice system responds when traditional proof is missing, how legal standards are applied under extraordinary conditions, and how courts balance uncertainty with accountability.Inside this book, readers will find: A structured account of the disappearance and investigationAn overview of the legal strategies presented at trialAn explanation of how circumstantial evidence is evaluated in courtA discussion of the verdict and its broader legal significanceA thoughtful analysis of justice in cases without physical recoveryThis book is written for readers interested in true crime, legal procedure, and real-world courtroom decision-making. It approaches the subject with restraint, accuracy, and respect for those affected, offering insight rather than speculation.Michelle Troconis is a measured and responsible examination of a case that continues to raise important questions about evidence, responsibility, and how the law seeks truth when certainty is incomplete.
