Aaron Spencer: The Father Who Saved His Daughter and Exposed a Broken System

Aaron Spencer: The Father Who Saved His Daughter and Exposed a Broken System

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.

"We Don't Have That Kind of Money" — What Maggie Told Her Housekeeper | Blanca Simpson Part 2

"We Don't Have That Kind of Money" — What Maggie Told Her Housekeeper | Blanca Simpson Part 2

Weeks before she was murdered, Maggie Murdaugh pulled her housekeeper into a room, closed the door, and shared something that had been eating at her — a thirty million dollar lawsuit and a husband who refused to tell her the whole truth. In part two of this exclusive five-part interview, Blanca Simpson reveals what Maggie confided in her during those final months. The financial pressure. The community turning against them after the boat crash. And Alex's constant reassurance that everything was fine — even when Maggie knew it wasn't. "He tells me just enough to take me off the edge," Maggie told her. But the most chilling part of this segment is Blanca's account of June 7th, 2021 — the last normal day. The morning texts from Maggie about picking up Capri Suns. Alex staying late in bed, which Blanca attributed to exhaustion from caring for his dying father. And then Alex rushing out the door — scraggly, unshaved, pants wrinkled — as Blanca reached up to fix his collar. "All right, B, I'll see you later." Those were the last words he said to her before everything changed. Hours later, Maggie and Paul would be dead at the Moselle kennels. This segment paints a picture of a family under pressure — financial, legal, social — and a wife who sensed something was wrong but trusted her husband to handle it. Whether that trust was misplaced is something Blanca has clearly thought about for a long time. If you missed part one, go back and watch it first for the full context. Part three is coming soon, where Blanca reveals what she saw at the property that day — a white truck, a tractor, and a theory that SLED didn't want to hear.

What Happened to Breanna Aguilera?

What Happened to Breanna Aguilera?

On November 29, 2025, 19-year-old Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera was found dead outside a 17-story apartment building in Austin, Texas. She had been in town for the Texas vs. Texas A&M rivalry game, staying with friends at the 21 Rio apartments near the UT campus. Within days, Austin Police held a rare press conference to announce they were treating her death as a suicide - citing a deleted suicide note found on her phone, text messages indicating suicidal thoughts, and prior statements to friends. They say all evidence points away from foul play. But Brianna's family isn't buying it. Her mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, has publicly accused police of a rushed investigation and believes someone in that apartment is responsible for her daughter's death. She says Brianna was afraid of heights, was actively planning her future, and would never have taken her own life. The family has now retained high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee to pursue their own investigation. The questions are piling up: Why wasn't the mother notified for almost 15 hours? What happened in the two minutes between Brianna's phone call with her boyfriend and the 911 call? Why did none of the three women in the apartment see or hear anything? And what about the witness who says she heard screaming and running that night? Adding another layer to this case: another Texas A&M student, Grant Hernandez, died at the exact same apartment complex in 2019 under strikingly similar circumstances. His death was also ruled a suicide. His father says he never got the answers he wanted. In this video, I break down everything we know about the Brianna Aguilera case - the timeline, the evidence, the family's concerns, and the questions that still need answers. 🔔 Subscribe for updates as this case develops. ⚠️ If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988. #BriannaAguilera #TexasAM #Austin #TrueCrime #21Rio #TonyBuzbee #ColdCase #JusticeForBrianna #TexasNews #CrimeCommunity #TrueCrimeYouTube #Investigation #BreakingNews #AustinTexas #WestCampus #CollegeStudent #MentalHealthAwareness #SuicidePrevention #TrueCrimeCommunity #CaseBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Luigi Mangione Wet Himself During McDonalds Arrest, Here's The Photo Proof!

Luigi Mangione Wet Himself During McDonalds Arrest, Here's The Photo Proof!

The suppression hearing for Luigi Mangione took a turn when prosecutors introduced a photo taken moments after his arrest — a photo showing Mangione had urinated on himself inside the Altoona McDonald's. It’s an image that stops you cold. Not because of shock value, but because of what it reveals about the moment the most-wanted man in America realized the chase was over. In Part One of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to break down why that single photo may tell investigators more than any manifesto or ghost gun ever could. We walk through the body-camera footage: Mangione sitting alone, mask on, seemingly composed. Then officers approach, ask him to take his mask down, and the moment he gives his real name — not the fake one he tried first — everything changes. What the public didn’t see until now is what happened physically and psychologically when he understood he was caught. We explore: • Why suspects lose bodily control under acute stress — what that usually signals in federal cases. • How this undercuts the online mythology painting Mangione as a controlled ideologue or “avenger.” • What this moment says about whether he intended to flee, fight, or — as some experts argue — quietly surrender. • Why the defense wants the entire arrest scene suppressed, including the photo, the body-cam, and the items pulled from his backpack. • Whether the image of Mangione’s loss of control will ever reach a jury — and what it means if it doesn’t. It’s not about humiliation. It’s about behavior, stress indicators, and whether Mangione was the calculating assassin some people imagine — or a man completely overwhelmed the moment officers confronted him. This single photo may become one of the most significant pieces of evidence in understanding his mindset just seconds before the arrest.

FBI Behavioral Expert's Complete Breakdown of the Brian Walshe Case | Full Interview

FBI Behavioral Expert's Complete Breakdown of the Brian Walshe Case | Full Interview

Brian Walshe is on trial right now for murdering and dismembering his wife Ana. Her body has never been found. He's already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to police—but he says he didn't kill her. His defense: he woke up, found her dead from some unexplained medical event, and panicked. Rather than call 911, he spent three days Googling how to dismember a body, bought a hacksaw and hatchet at Home Depot, and distributed her remains across dumpsters in eastern Massachusetts. To protect his kids, they say. The prosecution has a different theory. And a search history that starts at 4:55 a.m. with "how long before a body starts to smell." In this full interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—takes us through every dimension of this case. Dreeke spent 21 years catching spies and detecting deception at the highest levels. His expertise is reading people: what they say, what they do, and what the gap between those things reveals. We break down Walshe's police interviews and the behavioral markers of deception. We examine the marriage itself—the affair Ana was hiding, the power imbalance created by Brian's home confinement, the resentments that may have been building beneath the surface. And we analyze the aftermath: the Google searches, the shopping trips, the dumpster runs, and what that sequence of behavior tells us about guilt or innocence. This isn't speculation. It's pattern recognition from someone who made a career out of knowing when people are lying. The jury is deliberating the evidence. After this interview, you'll understand what that evidence actually means. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #FBIProfiler #MurderTrial #DeceptionDetection #CrimePsychology #PoliceInterview #ForensicEvidence #GoogleSearches #TrueCrimePodcast #Cohasset #MassachusettsCrime #ConsciousnessOfGuilt #CriminalBehavior #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForAna #ColdCase #FBIAgent #Interrogation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
