About this episode
When a teenage girl disappeared from her Arkansas home in the middle of the night, her parents immediately feared she had been taken by the man accused of sexually abusing her.
Months earlier, 67-year-old Michael Fosler had been arrested and charged with 43 felony counts involving a child. Despite the allegations, he was released on bond while awaiting trial.
Then, on October 8, 2024, everything came to a head.
What followed was a frantic search, a pursuit through rural Lonoke County, and a confrontation that left Fosler dead.
Authorities charged Aaron Spencer with murder. Supporters rallied behind him, arguing he was a father trying to protect his child. Prosecutors alleged he crossed a line and took justice into his own hands.
In this episode of 13th Juror, we examine the allegations against Fosler, the events leading up to that night, the evidence investigators uncovered, and the legal battle that followed.
Where is the line between protection and vigilantism? And what happens when a family believes the justice system has failed them?
Listen as we unravel one of Arkansas's most controversial cases.
