When a Killer Realizes He Was Wearing an Ankle Monitor

The monitor was supposed to restrain him, but he forgot it was always watching. He left his home, committed murder, and returned, unaware that every step was being recorded. A device meant to track his movements became the witness that would convict him. A killer on bail for another crime wore an ankle monitor and still walked into a crime scene, unaware that his GPS trail was already being logged. Surveillance footage captured his face, but the electronic data captured his path. Detectives matched his monitor's pings to the location of the shooting. When he stood in court, the truth was undeniable: he had been watched from the moment he left home. His freedom ended the moment he realized his own monitor had betrayed him.
