Professional guardian Rebecca Fierle is under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the guardianship program is under the spotlight after the death of a 75 year old man who had a do not resuscitate order filed against his will. 

Reporter Monivette Cordeiro, with the Orlando Sentinel's justice and safety team, joins Intersection to talk about her reporting on the case and what's being done to tackle problems with the program.
