Tennessee enacts law requiring GPS tracking of violent domestic abusers, the first of its kind in U.S.

Born from an unspeakable tragedy, the law is the first of its kind in the U.S.On April 12, 2021, Debbie Sisco and her daughter, Marie Varsos, were shot and killed outside Nashville by Marie's estranged husband, Shaun Varsos, who later took his own life.Varsos broke into his mother-in-law's house, where Marie was staying, with guns, zip ties, and battery acid ready to hunt them down.He had been out on bail after strangling his wife and threatening her with a gun a month earlier.

'When there's firearms at play, when there's strangulation, when there's elevated stalking, are more likely to do it again,' said Jennifer Waindle, a deputy director of non-profit Battered Women's Justice Project.That's how GPS tracking could potentially be the difference between life and death.
