The father of an allegedly kidnapped 14-year-old girl is in jail in Lonoke County, Arkansas, after a shooting that left the reported kidnapper dead. The father said he found the man with his daughter, and a confrontation broke out as he tried to rescue her.
Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley said in a Facebook post that his deputies received a call on October 8 about a missing 14-year-old girl. As the deputies were en route to the home of the missing girl, they received a call regarding a shooting.
Sheriff’s office officials said they received the call of the missing child at 1:12 Tuesday morning, KARK reported. While on their way to the incident, deputies learned that the girl’s father, Aaron Spencer, found the girl in a car allegedly driven by Michael Fosler.
Officials say there was an altercation between the men, leading to Fosler being shot and killed. Fosler reportedly died at the scene.

She explained that earlier this year, her daughter was “groomed and raped” by a 67-year-old man. That man was arrested and charged but is out on a $50,000 bond awaiting trial in December. It is not clear if this is the same man involved in Tuesday’s alleged kidnapping of the little girl.
The mother says her husband “went blindly searching for our 14-year-old.”
“By the grace of God, he passed the predator’s vehicle on the road and followed them, trying to get him to pull over with our child,” she explained. “My husband was able to catch up to him and retrieve our child. In the process, he was attacked and did what he needed to protect himself and our daughter.”

Really don’t care if the kidnapper raised his hands and dropped to his knees “in a threatening manner”.
Nice shooting dad.
ditto. dad doing what dad need to do.
Kudos to dad.
He’s got a particular set of skills, he has!
Prosecutor will have an uphill battle convincing a jury to convict.

““This is a tragic situation, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those involved,” Sheriff Staley said in his video statement.”
?
As far as the daughter goes Sheriff.
As far as the kidnappers dirt nap, it’s Miller time.
“daughter was “groomed and raped” by a 67-year-old man”
An old man grooming a child bride is so unlikely that there has to be more to this story. Could it be the girl was trying to escape from an abusive family situation and the kindly old man was just trying to help? I hope that there is an update to this story.
any father who would NOT do this is not a real man.
That POS is in hell where he belongs
The plot thickens…
Heather Spencer, the wife of the now-arrested Aaron Spencer had set up a GoFundMe account to help them with legal expenses. This account was later deleted. However, she said that GoFundMe would refund whatever amount they were able to raise. She went on her Facebook to post:
“First, just want to thank the community and all the victims who have reached out to us. We have gotten a clear picture of a predator who continuously worked with children and preyed on young girls. This man was Chief of police in Indiana and resource officer, giving us a better idea of why the Lonoke county courts have been protecting him and going after my husband. Gofundme is down for good, but I am working to get a new platform started. Venmo and cashapp are working sometimes but a lot of donations are being rejected. We are going to hold off on sharing a new post until we have a new platform to host donations. We will also be opening up an account tomorrow at a local bank. Thank you all for continued support.”
If I was on jury - NOT GUILTY
As a juror, I will never convict anyone of any crime for taking out the trash.
Dad should be celebrated as a HERO! ..imho
“I was in fear for my life and the life of my daughter”.
“I want a lawyer”.
Ha...that part of the state, half the jury will be his kin. He’ll have charges dropped soon methinks.
Really don’t care if the kidnapper raised his hands and dropped to his knees “in a threatening manner”.
Nice shooting dad.
