Sandra.
>> Now, Bill, shocking details out of the Chicago area.
A judge says they have lost track of hundreds of people who were placed on ankle monitors, all while facing pending criminal cases.
The total number now thought to be at nearly 250 people.
Terrifying.
Mike Tobin is live in Chicago.
He's got more details on this for us.
Hi, Mike.
And Sandra, it works out to 8% of the people on electronic monitoring in the pre-trial program in Cook County and Chicago who are unaccounted for.
Even the state's attorney says we should all be deeply concerned.
This is the same system that was ignored by Lawrence Reed, a career violent criminal with 72 arrests.
His ankle monitor showed that he'd been out all night twice and was violating his curfew on November 17th of last year when police say he boarded Chicago's Elra and set a complete stranger, Bethany McGee, on fire.
This is the same ankle monitor system that was ignored by 26-year-old Alfonso Tally.
Records show he'd been in trouble for all of his adult life.
He disregarded his curfew to the point that he didn't get home to charge the battery in the ankle monitor went dead.
Police say on April 25th he went on a crime spree that ended with a mother of three pistol whipped with a broken nose.
One police officer dead, another fighting for his life.
3,048 people were released pre-trial on electronic monitoring.
Almost 20% of them are charged with violent crimes.
7% aggravated battery, 4% criminal sexual assault, 8% charged with murder, and 246 of them cannot be found.
>> Not only are they missing, they have no idea they're at none.
Zero.
They don't know in the state of Illinois.
They don't no idea where these individuals are.
So, think about that.
It's not like they could just go out and start looking for them.
Like, they have no clue.
The system alerts on a low battery or
curfew violation. After 48 hours, a judge can be notified and that judge can issue an arrest warrant.
But any sheriff's deputy will tell you there are thousands of warrants in the system.
Without an alert on a specific individual, they get lost in the pile.
But the Cook County Chief Judge did tell a local reporter yesterday that law enforcement is actively searching for the people who are at large.
Sandra,
>> that's quite a search.
Mike Tobin on that for us out of Chicago.
Thank you, Bill.
