The Digital Leash: Serial Murder Under Government SupervisionIn Orange County, California, between October 2013 and March 2014, registered sex offenders Steven Dean Gordon and Franc Cano abducted, raped, and murdered at least five women while actively wearing state and federally mandated GPS ankle monitors. The investigation, led by Anaheim homicide detective Julissa Trapp, eventually cracked the case when a victim's body surfaced on a recycling conveyor belt, triggering a digital dragnet that matched both men's trackers to the crime scenes.The system that was supposed to make these men impossible to ignore was watching everything and doing nothing. Two convicted predators living together, hunting together, cutting off their ankle monitors more than once and literally walking away… and the response was basically a stern letter.🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
