The report says parole agents didn't review the data from the ankle bracelet Gardner was forced to wear after his child abuse conviction. It finds there were a number of violations by Gardner, including getting within 100 yards of places where children gather.

The 32-year-old Gardner pleaded guilty to those killings and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
