Episode Synopsis


A Louisburg woman says earlier this month, she got an alert that an unknown Apple AirTag had been with her for more than seven hours--but after several tries, she still hasn't found it. WRAL's 5 On Your Side has learned that criminals can disable the speaker designed to locate these devices, making them harder to find. Keely Arthur explains why this makes it harder for law enforcement and Apple to protect victims of this kind of stalking.
