by Tori Hartshorn - May 24, 2018


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.

20/20 Reports on Woman Who Authorities Maintain Committed Suicide Even Though Her Family Believes She Was Killed by Deputy Sheriff Boyfriend
by Tori Hartshorn - Apr 11, 2018


Suicide or homicide? That question still lingers for Michelle O'Connell's family and friends nearly eight years after she was shot inside her boyfriend's St. Augustine, Florida, home and died. Her family alleges she was killed by her boyfriend, Deputy Sheriff Jeremy Banks, but the sheriff's department maintains that she committed suicide. At the request of Michelle's family, her body was exhumed and an outside forensics expert conducted a second autopsy for them which concluded that Michelle's death was a homicide. However, authorities still maintain she took her own life. ABC News' Ryan Smith investigates the controversy and reports on developments in the case, including Jeremy's civil suit against a state investigator that was dismissed last month. “20/20” airs on Friday, April 13 (10:01–11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

by Tori Hartshorn - Apr 5, 2018


When 19-year-old college student Mark Fisher was murdered in an alleged gang-crime, the public outcry was deafening. John Giuca and Antonio Russo were both convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for Mark's murder. In February, John's conviction was overturned by an appeals court which said the prosecutor made errors that could have impacted the jury's decision and two weeks ago Antonio confessed to detectives that he shot and killed Mark but did not implicate John. As John remains behind bars, awaiting an appeal by prosecutors of the recent ruling and a possible retrial, ABC News' Juju Chang sits down with Doreen Quinn Giuliano, John's mother, who has worked to try to prove her son's innocence for years. Doreen describes the lengths she went to, to help her son, including going undercover by changing her appearance and renting a basement apartment in order to seduce and expose a juror who she says should never have been on the jury. “20/20” airs on Friday, April 6 (10:01 – 11:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC.
