David McGreavy has to strictly follow the rules of exclusion zones, which prohibits him from going near where Elsie Ralph lives, according to the BBC. But Elsie noted that she has family members and friends in towns McGreavy isn’t barred from. She’s afraid of spotting her children’s murderer at random and of him blaming her for putting him behind bars for so many decades.
Elsie was able to get McGreavy’s restricted zones expanded in 2019, but that June, she received a phone call informing her that McGreavy was officially freed (per the Daily Mail). While they couldn’t tell her where McGreavy was, he does have to wear an electronic GPS device to ensure that he stays out of his exclusion zones. Today, Elsie lives with her long-time partner, Robert, and their dog, Tilly. Even four decades later, she thinks about her children all day, every day, and does not believe she can ever move on from their deaths.
