Dad-of-two professor Jeziorski, 43, was heinously shot five times in broad daylight in Athens, Greece, near his ex-wife's house on July 4.
He had been visiting the country to see his two children, as well as attend a family custody hearing.
And couple of months prior to his tragic death, ex-wife Michelidaki had shared an AI-produced image showing a man in a suit surrounded by cash with an unhappy expression on his face.
Tagging her new boyfriend, she wrote: "When you realise that you picked the best dad for your kids."

Alleged murderer Michelidaki and Professor Jeziorski had reportedly been going through a custody battle at the time he was killed, according to cops.
Michelidaki and Dounias planned the horrific murder, Greek authorities said, adding that Dounias was the one who pulled the trigger as Jeziorski arrived to pick up his children.
Three other people - two Albanian nationals and one Bulgarian - were also arrested in the tragedy.
They are accused of providing the deadly weapon and transporting the gunman.

Professor Jeziorski had also sought a restraining order against his ex-wife in San Francisco in May as he said he feared for his life, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Before he died, he accused Michelidaki of threatening and exhorting attempts and said Dounias assaulted him twice.
In one instance, Dounias allegedly knocked his phone out of his hand and, the same day, kicked and pushed him.
Dounias was charged with assault over these incidents from May.

Jeziorski wrote: "She made me afraid of my life by having her partner, who is hostile and aggressive towards me, [present] during the visitation exchange, despite my asking her not to do so."
The professor had also claimed his ex-wife had sent him messages on Slack insisting she got co-authorship on his research and "threatening to 'contact my colleagues and the dean of my department if I did not pay her money.'"

Jeziorski explained he thought Michelidaki was attempting to "humiliate" him "socially in order to control me."
He added in writing: "Although I know her threats are baseless, I am still intimidated by her actions.
"Her baseless allegations will harm my economic prospects for employment and completely damage my reputation in the intellectual community, regardless of their truth."
After the heinous muder, his ex-wife said she didn't know of anyone who would have wanted to harm him.

Jeziorski's grieving family said in a statement: "Przemek loved his children and fought for them until the end.
"He paid the heaviest price, unnecessarily, for this.
"This summer, he wanted to bring his children to his hometown of Gdynia, Poland.
"This death and the circumstances surrounding it remain impossible for us to accept, but we find some measure of comfort knowing that progress is being made toward justice, and that the kids are about to reunite with their family into a safe environment."

Thug lured victim with offer of ‘free drugs' before sickening attack
Sean Faulkner is a notorious drug thug with more than 80 convictions This is the thug who headbutted and punched a man in a sickening attack after the victim had been lured with the 'promise of free drugs'. Sean Faulkner is a notorious drug thug with more than 80 convictions who has spent years on social media dishing out outrageous abuse to his innocent previous partners. But the 36-year-old demonstrated exactly why he's got a violent reputation when he launched a shocking attack on another man earlier this year. However, despite launching a cowardly and unprovoked attack on the man, he walked free from court with a suspended sentence. Court News NI reported how Faulkner, of Kent Court, Antrim, committed the assault on April 9. At Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena, a prosecutor said a co-accused had invited the victim to an area 'with the promise of free drugs'. The man attended and was then assaulted by Faulkner, who headbutted and repeatedly punched him. The co-accused was dealt with at an earlier court sitting. A defence barrister for Faulkner accepted it had been a 'nasty' incident and said the defendant has referred himself to a rehab centre in England. District Judge Nigel Broderick said Faulkner had 82 previous convictions but, because there had been a 'small gap' in offending, he said he would suspend a five-month prison term for three years. Sean Faulkner Last night sources in Antrim told the Sunday World Faulkner was a 'menace'. 'Sean is one of those tragic cases of someone who was a decent lad years ago but has become a complete menace because of his addiction to drugs,' said one person who knows him. 'He has been in and out of court for drugs and assaults. 'He used to go onto Facebook and call his partners all kinds of awful stuff. 'It got really nasty but he's had a pretty hard life himself. 'He went missing last October and the police had to put out an alert saying they were concerned about his safety. 'It's just another example of the damage drugs can do.' He added: 'It's very sad really.'
