The owner and an employee of an ankle monitoring company will face negligent homicide charges in the death of a woman whose husband murdered her and then killed himself all while free on bail and wearing an ankle monitor, the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled.

The Wednesday ruling stems from the murder of Peggy Rayburn, 70, by her estranged husband, Marshall Rayburn, 63, in September 2021.

“The State alleges that Marshall Rayburn, while wearing a court ordered electronic ankle monitor, repeatedly breached the perimeter of the residence of Peggy Rayburn, from whom he had been ordered to stay away,” the ruling said. “Ultimately, Marshall Rayburn shot and killed Peggy Rayburn, and attempted to kill her neighbor Lanie Cathey. The State further alleges that the electronic monitoring company detected Marshall Rayburn’s perimeter breaches stalking his estranged wife but failed to inform law enforcement of them.”
