Pava LaPere, 26, the founder and CEO of EcoMap Technologies, was raped and murdered in 2023. Her death has spurred Maryland legislators to introduce a law to stop violent offenders from accruing early release credits. Her father, Frank LaPere, told Business Insider that it was time to change the justice system. The Pava Marie LaPere Act would require the Maryland Parole Commission to approve an offender's early release. "This bill is a little different because of Frank [Pava LaPere's father], to be honest," Bates said.

At a press conference on Thursday, Sept. 28, Worley defended the department's decision to not alert the public about Billingsley on Sept. 19. "We should have been informed," said Eric Chapman, 31, who lives in the same block where the Sept. 19 attack occurred. "Unfortunately, at a very young age, Jason started to get in trouble with the law," Jasmine Billingsley added. "I think he's a magnet for women," Jasmine Billingsley said. While Jasmine Billingsley was trying to encourage him to improve his life, their mother did not.
