I was pleased to read your comment because, not being American- so not getting this sort of news, I had no idea whether Jennifer's remains had been found. I believe she should not be released from prison until she has served the full 20 years plus told the authorities where the remains are. I don't believe she would not know. If after 20 years she still hasn't told them- then she stays incarcerated until she does. Some States in Australia have a No body/No release law.

This is the typical story; some women to have a man under their arm are capable of killing and abusing their own children so this case is no surprise they do it to the vulnerable life they brought into the world then they can easily do it to an adult. Predators are abundant male and female in this world, neither gender is better.

Tbh it always amazes me that idiots like her don't ever think "Oh- I wonder if he would do the same to me when he gets fed up with our relationship?". None of them seem to realize that if he kills someone and gets away with it he would find it easier the 2nd time and that time it could be them getting murdered.
Of course the coward took his life.

14 years? Why such leniency?
Unfortunately, the judge appears to have ignored the powerful impact statements made by Jennifer's family and friends and only gave Troconis a very light sentence given the extremely heinous nature of the crime. And notice how when Troconis spoke, she showed no remorse to the true victims of this crime, only remorse that she exposed her daughter and own family to Fotis Dulos?
For a woman to do this to another woman who clearly had tried to get away from an abusive husband, is absolutely disgusting. My husband's ex is a horrible person, but if he came to me with a plan like this, he'd be behind bars.
Where is the body🤔
A mother in the US last week got 4 years for killing her own child at 4!
She should have gotten 50 years, 1 for each child, as suggested by Jennifer's eldest son! 14 years is a joke, given that she still hasn't revealed where poor Jennifer's body is discarded like trash!

Only fourteen years for something like this is amazingly lenient, given that people have got life without parole for much lesser involvement in murder. Is it Connecticut or is it that a nice-looking middle-class white woman can't be *that* guilty?
