Aaron Spencer’s 14-year-old daughter was abducted by the same man who had already been arrested for sexually abusing her. That man—67-year-old Michael Fosler—was facing 43 felony charges, including rape, grooming, and possession of child pornography. But instead of being held behind bars, Fosler was released on a $5,000 bond.

When Spencer discovered his daughter missing, he did what any parent would do: he went after her. Within minutes, he found her in the predator’s truck. When Fosler refused to stop and then allegedly lunged at him, Spencer opened fire. He saved his daughter’s life.

And now, the state of Arkansas is charging him with murder.

Hero on Trial is a deep-dive true crime series exposing the legal and moral failure behind one of the most infuriating prosecutions in America. Why is a father being treated like a criminal for protecting his child? Why was a known predator allowed to walk free? And why did the court try to silence the public with an illegal gag order?

This podcast unpacks every disturbing detail—from the courtroom maneuvers to the political power plays—raising urgent questions about who our justice system really serves. It’s a story about parental instinct, systemic failure, and a community fighting back against a legal system that got everything backwards.

If saving your child makes you a criminal, what’s left of justice?

  • Aaron Spencer: The Father Who Saved His Daughter and Exposed a Broken System-WEEK IN REVIEW

    Aaron Spencer: The Father Who Saved His Daughter and Exposed a Broken System-WEEK IN REVIEW
    Oct 26 2025
    There are stories that break your heart — and then there are stories that break your trust in the entire system.
    The case of Aaron Spencer out of Lonoke County, Arkansas, does both.

    Spencer is the father who woke up one October night to find his 14-year-old daughter gone, a decoy hoodie left behind, and the man she was missing with — a convicted child predator named Michael Fosler — nowhere to be found. Fosler wasn’t some random stranger. He was out on bond for a string of charges including internet stalking of a child and sexual indecency with a minor. The district attorney’s office knew his record. The judge knew it. And they still let him walk free.

    That decision nearly cost a little girl her life.

    So when Aaron Spencer spotted that car with his daughter inside, he didn’t see an opportunity for patience — he saw an active kidnapping in progress. He acted, confronting the predator who had taken his child. Fosler died at the scene. The daughter lived.

    Now, instead of being celebrated for saving her, Spencer is facing a second-degree-murder charge — prosecuted by the same system that failed to keep the predator locked up. And if that sounds backward to you, you’re not alone.

    This episode dives deep into the legal, psychological, and moral collapse that allowed this to happen — how prosecutors, judges, and pre-trial services made decision after decision that put a child in harm’s way. And how one father’s act of courage exposed just how broken “justice” has become.

    Spencer’s response? He’s running for sheriff — against the department that arrested him — to make sure no other parent ever has to choose between obeying the law and saving their child.

    This isn’t vigilante justice. It’s survival. It’s accountability. It’s what happens when good people have had enough.

  • Why Does the System Protect Predators? From John Wayne Gacy to Aaron Spencer’s Fight for Justice | Bob Motta Guest-WEEK IN REVIEW

    Why Does the System Protect Predators? From John Wayne Gacy to Aaron Spencer’s Fight for Justice | Bob Motta Guest-WEEK IN REVIEW
    Oct 25 2025
    There’s a disturbing pattern in America’s justice system — one that stretches from the past into the present.
    From the John Wayne Gacy investigation of the 1970s to Aaron Spencer’s prosecution today, we keep coming back to the same haunting question:
    Why does the system protect predators and punish those who fight them?

    In the first half of this episode, Defense Attorney Bob Motta — host of Defense Diaries and BURIED: Inside the John Wayne Gacy Investigation — takes us deep inside the newly remastered Gacy Tapes: never-before-heard recordings of Gacy speaking with his defense attorneys, including Bob’s own father. For decades, those tapes sat in darkness. Now, with enhanced audio and new detective interviews, BURIED exposes how the Gacy investigation really unfolded — revealing police shortcuts, ignored victims, and the desperation that finally cracked the case.

    It’s a chilling reminder of how often the system gets it wrong — even when it’s trying to get it right.

    Then, in the second half, we shift to Lonoke County, Arkansas, where a father named Aaron Spencer is facing second-degree murder charges after allegedly shooting a known predator he found with his 14-year-old daughter.
    The twist? Spencer is now running for sheriff — against the very department that arrested him. His slogan: “Restoring Trust.”

    To some, he’s a hero. To others, a vigilante. But to many, he’s proof that faith in law enforcement has been replaced by something darker — a belief that justice only comes when you take it into your own hands.

    From Gacy’s crawl space to Arkansas courtrooms, this is the connective tissue of true crime: the failure of systems built to protect us, and the people forced to fill the gaps.

  • I Don’t Know Anyone That Protects Predators… Other Than Predators | The Aaron Spencer Case

    I Don’t Know Anyone That Protects Predators… Other Than Predators | The Aaron Spencer Case
    Oct 24 2025
    There’s something deeply broken in Lonoke County, Arkansas.

    A 67-year-old man, Michael Fosler, was charged with 43 felony counts involving a thirteen-year-old girl. The bond? $5,000 cash.
     Weeks later, he was found in a car with that same child—alive only because her father, Aaron Spencer, intervened. Fosler didn’t survive.

    Now, instead of asking why a predator was free, the system has turned its full weight on the father who protected his daughter.

    This episode of Hidden Killers exposes how Judge Barbara Elmore approved the low bond, how Chief Deputy Prosecutor John Huggins chose to keep the case alive, and how a sweeping gag order—later struck down by the Arkansas Supreme Court as a “gross abuse of discretion”—tried to silence everyone asking questions.

    This isn’t speculation; it’s documented history. The same judge was previously reversed for refusing to recuse herself in another child-abuse case. The same prosecutor could still drop the charges but hasn’t.

    When courts and prosecutors protect predators and punish protectors, that’s not justice—it’s self-preservation.

    👉 We break down the record, the reversals, and the moral collapse behind State v. Spencer.
     👉 We ask the question the courtroom won’t: Who is this justice really for?

    Because I don’t know anyone that protects predators… other than predators.
