A report highlights inconsistent accounts among neighbors, the Puerto Rico Police, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (DCR) regarding the supervision of Carlos Estefano Pino, a man convicted of feminicide who is now under investigation for a new murder. Pino was living in the community under supervised release at the time and was listed on the Sex Offenders Registry.
