Why Is an Arkansas County Protecting a Predator and Punishing a Father Who Saved His Daughter?

Why Is an Arkansas County Protecting a Predator and Punishing a Father Who Saved His Daughter?

It’s one of those stories that makes you stop and ask — what the hell happened to justice?
In Lonoke County, Arkansas, Aaron Spencer — a father who allegedly shot a known predator he found with his 14-year-old daughter — isn’t being hailed as a hero. He’s being prosecuted for second-degree murder.
Meanwhile, the same system that failed to protect his child seems more determined to protect its own image.
The man he shot, Michael Fosler, wasn’t a mystery to law enforcement. His record included sexual indecency with a child and online predation charges. Yet somehow, he was still free — free enough to allegedly lure a teenage girl onto a dark rural road. Police say when Spencer found them together, he reacted the way any terrified father might. Now, that reaction could send him to prison.
And here’s where it gets even more surreal: Aaron Spencer is now running for sheriff — against the very department that arrested him. His campaign slogan: “Restoring Trust.” For many in Lonoke County, that message hits harder than any political ad. They see a broken system, a failed chain of protection, and a father who finally drew a line the system refused to.
So why is this happening? Why does a man who defended his daughter face murder charges, while the institutions that failed her face none?
Joining me is Defense Attorney and Former Prosecutor Bob Motta — host of Defense Diaries and BURIED: Inside the John Wayne Gacy Investigation — to unpack how a story of survival turned into a political and legal firestorm.

Full FBI Behavioral Breakdown of Donna Adelson — Robin Dreeke Interview

Full FBI Behavioral Breakdown of Donna Adelson — Robin Dreeke Interview

Full FBI Behavioral Breakdown of Donna Adelson — Robin Dreeke Interview This is the full story of Donna Adelson’s unraveling—told through behavior, psychology, and decades of emotional control. In this complete interview with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we examine every layer of the Adelson family: the cold reaction to the undercover bump, the manipulation of her children, the narcissistic courtroom performance, and the chilling codependence with Charlie Adelson. This isn’t just a recap—it’s a behavioral autopsy. Robin breaks down what law enforcement saw in Donna that the public is only beginning to understand: a woman whose reactions betray her, whose family is programmed to obey, and whose carefully crafted identity is crumbling under the weight of exposure. We explore the signs of narcissism, the psychological tools she used to control her kids, and why the jury might be seeing through all of it. You’ll hear the whole arc—from the moment Donna didn’t panic, to the moment her children started to turn. This is the Hidden Killers exclusive everyone’s talking about. Full interview. Full breakdown. No fluff. Subscribe now for more expert-led deep dives into today’s most complex true crime cases.

Donna Adelson on Trial: Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind?

Donna Adelson on Trial: Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind?

Donna Adelson on Trial: Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind? A grandmother. A custody battle. A cold-blooded killing. And now, a trial that could finally reveal who really orchestrated the murder of Dan Markel. In this comprehensive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to break down the most compelling elements of the case against Donna Adelson. From the emotionally distant testimony of her own children… to the 44 paychecks she allegedly signed for a murder-for-hire intermediary… to a suspicious one-way ticket to Vietnam… this case is stacked with bizarre twists and damning behavior. But is it enough to convict? Eric and Tony explore the strategies on both sides of the courtroom—how the prosecution is painting Donna as the mastermind, and how the defense is desperately trying to reframe her as a grandmother in over her head. If you want to understand the psychology, the evidence, and the legal stakes of one of the most fascinating murder trials in recent memory, this is the episode that brings it all together.
