  • Authorities say the ex-wife’s boyfriend confessed that he carried out the killing on her orders to prevent Jeziorski from gaining custody of their two children.
  • The professor’s ex-wife denies any involvement while facing moral accomplice charges in the orchestrated murder plot.
  • Jeziorski’s children remain in the care of Greek child services with support from U.S. and Polish consulates for their welfare.
  • Only the ex-wife has not entered a plea as courts advance toward trial readiness based on the other suspects’ admissions.
