'20/20' REPORTS ON ANKLE BRACELET-MONITORING FAILURES AND MURDERS COMMITTED BY PEOPLE ORDERED TO WEAR THEM
'20/20' Airs on Friday, May 25 (10:01 - 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC
This Friday, "20/20" will report on a nationwide investigation that found at least 50 murders allegedly committed since 2012 by people who at the time were under orders to wear electronically monitored ankle bracelets. In some cases, authorities failed to appropriately monitor people wearing ankle bracelets or to respond to alerts set off by the electronic devices. The program features interviews with Rafael Zaldivar, the father of a young man who was killed in Orange County, Florida, by someone wearing a device; and Bill Cregg, who was the first to arrive on the scene of a murder in Syracuse, New York, by a man who had removed his device. In both cases the devices triggered alerts before the murders were committed, but authorities took no action. "20/20" airs on Friday, May 25 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
