このコンテンツについて

 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?

    Father vs. Predator: The Aaron Spencer Case & the Murder Charge Shaking Arkansas | 2025 True Crime
    2026/01/04
    What would YOU do if a man already accused of dozens of crimes against your child came back and took her again? That’s the impossible question at the heart of the Aaron Spencer case — a story that exposes not only a horrific personal nightmare, but a justice system many say failed at every step.

    In this emotional and legally complex episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta walk through the events leading up to the fatal confrontation. According to reports, 67-year-old Michael Foster — already facing multiple charges involving Spencer’s 14-year-old daughter — was released on a shockingly low bond. Not long after, Foster allegedly abducted her again. Aaron Spencer did what desperate parents imagine in their darkest moments: he got in his truck, tracked them down, and confronted the man he believed was repeatedly harming his child.

    What unfolded next resulted in Foster’s death — and Spencer now charged with murder.

    Tony and Bob break down what prosecutors must prove, how self-defense applies, whether “defense of another” could factor in, and why some cases blur the line between vigilantism and survival instinct. But the deeper conversation is about failure: a bond decision that baffled the community, a vulnerable child allegedly left unprotected, and a father now facing prison for acting when institutions didn’t.

    In the second half, Tony and Bob explore the uncomfortable questions circulating publicly: Is this prosecution a straightforward application of the law, or the system trying to protect itself from liability? Does the case reflect a larger pattern of institutional breakdown? And why does public outrage feel so justified?

    This isn’t just a true crime case.
    It’s a national debate about parental instinct, justice, and where the system’s responsibility ends.

  • Two Family Tragedies Aaron Spencer & Rob Reiner | Defense Attorney Bob Motta Breaks Them Down-WEEK IN REVIEW

    Two Family Tragedies Aaron Spencer & Rob Reiner | Defense Attorney Bob Motta Breaks Them Down-WEEK IN REVIEW
    2025/12/20
    Two cases this week that expose exactly how broken the American legal system is — in completely opposite directions.

    In Arkansas, Aaron Spencer is heading to trial for stopping Michael Fosler, a 67-year-old man with 43 felony charges who was out on bond and actively taking Spencer's 13-year-old daughter in the middle of the night. Fosler had already assaulted her once. A no-contact order was in place. The system knew he was dangerous and let him walk anyway. When Spencer's daughter ended up in Fosler's truck heading toward Fosler's house, Spencer did what the system refused to do — he protected his child. Now prosecutors want to use body cam footage from three months earlier to argue premeditation. They want a jury to believe a father in shock, processing his daughter's disclosure, was actually planning something. The defense says this was a kidnapping in progress and Arkansas law justified every action Spencer took.

    In California, Rob Reiner's son Nick is accused of taking both of his parents' lives after years of addiction and mental illness that the family publicly tried to address. They had money. They had access. They had every resource available. But California law doesn't let you force an adult into treatment — no matter how sick they are, no matter how many times they've been hospitalized, no matter how obvious the trajectory is. You just wait. The Reiners waited. And now they're gone.

    One father acted because the system let a predator walk. One father couldn't act because the system tied his hands. Both families deserved better. This episode breaks down the legal fights in both cases and what they reveal about a system that fails victims at every turn.
