Fosler had previously been arrested and booked in July by another agency for internet stalking of a child and sexual assault, according to Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley.  Spencer’s wife wrote an update on social media, stating, “We absolutely called 911 during the entire event.  We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again.  He was [a]waiting 6-9 felonies for what he did…He was looking at the rest of his pathetic life in jail, and our daughter was the only witness.”

She wrote on the GiveSendGo:

In spring/summer 2024 our then 13 year old child was targeted, groomed and ultimately raped by the boyfriend of a family friend. Our family did not know this monster. He just appeared in a place where our child should have been safe and got access to her phone number. And that’s all it took. We let the justice system do its job. The monster who hurt our child was charged quickly, but released even faster on a $50k bond. He was awaiting court in December for several felonies in relation to what he did to our child. In the early morning hours on Tuesday, October 8th, 2024, we awoke to our daughter’s dog barking. This is unusual and caused us to check on her. In that moment we lived every parents biggest fear as we realized our teen child was missing. We frantically searched our home/property and started calling friends, family, and 911. My husband immediately got into his truck to go blindly searching for our child. By God’s never failing grace, my husband passed this man driving on our road with our minor child in the vehicle. As soon as the predator knew my husband was behind him, he ran. The chase ended in an accident. Aaron was able to retrieve our child alive, but in the process he was attacked and did what he had to do to protect himself and our minor child. He is now facing an outrageous murder 1 charge. We were able to bring him home on $150k bond, but now we need to retain a legal team. I’m starting this campaign with a goal of $50k but I understand now it will likely cost much more. My husband is a combat veteran, who has always protected his country and family. I have no doubt our child would have not come home if my husband hadn’t found her. Please help us keep him home with us where he belongs. Any donation is appreciated, but we will also take all the prayers we can get.

A central Arkansas father has been charged with first-degree murder after finding his missing underage daughter in the car with a man, then shooting and killing the man.

The shooting happened in Lonoke County, about 75 miles northeast of Hot Springs.

Someone called the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office around 1:12 Tuesday morning about a missing juvenile, the sheriff’s office said in a news release on Facebook. The girl is 14 years old and the man who was shot is in his 60s, Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley confirmed to USA TODAY Friday afternoon.

While deputies were on their way to the home, someone called to let them know that a father had found his daughter with a man named Michael Fosler, authorities said.

The two had a "confrontation," and Fosler was shot and later pronounced dead at the scene.

The father was taken into custody and taken to the Lonoke County Detention Center. According to online jail records, the 36-year-old was released at 1:12 p.m. on Wednesday. 

He is facing a "preliminary charge" of first degree murder, a Class Y felony, the sheriff's office said. Class Y felonies normally carry a sentence of at least 10 years and no more than 40 years, or life in prison, according to legal website Justia.

Sheriff Staley said in a video posted on Facebook that the investigation is ongoing so authorities are only releasing limited details. The prosecutor will determine what charges will be filed and no official charges have been filed yet, Staley said. 

“I have not, nor will I, advocate for any specific charge,” Staley said. “This is a tragic situation and my thoughts and prayers are with all those involved.”

Shooter posts bail; family trying to secure lawyer

A woman identifying herself as the girl’s mother shared a series of updates on Facebook after the incident. She confirmed that the family was able to post bail and get her husband out of jail, but they started a fundraiser to retain a lawyer.

“We are private people, so all of this being public has been very difficult,” The woman shared on Facebook Wednesday afternoon.

In her post, she said the family had a no-contact order in place for Fosler due to stalking. 

Man killed was arrested earlier this year

The man who was shot, Fosler, had been arrested by another agency in July and booked for internet stalking of a child and sexual assault, Sheriff Staley told USA TODAY Friday afternoon.

"This guy that preyed upon their daughter was released on bond, and we had stopped him that night and got him with her," he said. "That bond would have been revoked. He would have never got out of jail. None of the bond companies would have let him out. We wouldn't let him out."

She said her family thought Fosler had taken their daughter to kill her. Her daughter is a victim, and her family has a long road to recovery ahead of them, she said.

“We absolutely called 911 during the entire event,” she wrote. “We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again. He was waiting 6-9 felonies for what he did, not 2. He was looking at the rest of his pathetic life in jail, and our daughter was the only witness.”

“Some things we will never know, but we know that the police department afforded this predator privacy they did not give our family,” she wrote. “I’m deeply offended by the way this was handled by the county sheriff's office.”

'I absolutely do not support predators'

Sheriff Staley told USA TODAY Friday afternoon that he knows the girl's mother is hurt and scared.

"I absolutely do not support predators," he said. "I'm a daddy. I have three daughters. I know she's hurt right now, but there's absolutely nobody I would put ahead of our children, their children, my children."

He said his investigators are trying to figure out what happened that day leading to the man's death.

"When we get on scene and there's a homicide, it means one person took the life of another," Staley said. "It's either justified or not justified. That's what the fact finding, that's what the investigation is going to find out."

The murder charge against the shooter and girl's father, is a preliminary charge but it's not official, Staley said.

Fundraiser for legal funds was removed by GoFundMe

The girl's mother also claimed that GoFundMe, the platform they were using to collect money for legal purposes, was returning funds to donors and eventually said the fundraiser had been closed altogether. Instead, she is collecting money on Venmo and Cash App.

A GoFundMe spokesperson told USA TODAY Friday afternoon that GoFundMe's Terms of Service prohibit fundraisers that raise money for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with "an alleged violent crime."

"Consistent with this long-standing policy, the fundraiser has been removed from our platform and donations have been refunded," the fundraising platform said in its statement.

On Thursday morning, the woman thanked community members. She also thanked the other victims who reached out to her with claims that the same man attacked them.

“We have gotten a clear picture of a predator who continuously worked with children and preyed on young girls,” The woman wrote. “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.”

She said the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office's actions are proof that the sheriff "supports predators" and that he will prosecute those who are trying to protect their families.

"My husband is a hero and we are so thankful to have him home with us for now," The woman wrote Thursday morning. "We want to do everything possible to ensure he can continue to be here to protect us."

In a final post on Friday morning, she shared that she is overwhelmed by the support community members have shown their family. Her family plans to open a bank account to raise funds as well.

“Donations are wonderful and needed but despite the legal fight this has been the most traumatic event of our families life, all of us, so please just keep us in your prayers and add us to your prayer chains,” The woman wrote.

'I don't file charges': Sheriff says investigation is underway

The sheriff stressed that he doesn't have the authority some people think he does.

"I don't file charges," he said, adding that the prosecuting attorney handles that. "We're in consultation with the prosecuting attorney about what to do in this preliminary stage. All my deputies and investigators knew at that time is there's a deceased man, a 14-year-old that was in the truck with him, and a dad saying 'Hey, I stopped him for this.'"

Sheriff Staley said investigators were interviewing people Friday and have been all week to get the facts.

"We're going to get this wrapped up as expeditiously as we can, and get the file faxed and over to the prosecutor so he can make an informed decision," Staley said.

"According to the Moms for Liberty website, the group now has over 265 chapters in 43 states with a total membership of over 110,000. As the maps from the group’s website shows, the movement is strongest in its home state of Florida, but it is clear that Moms for Liberty is now very much a national organization, with dozens of chapters in blue states like New York and California.

In Pennsylvania, the leader of a local Moms for Liberty chapter allegedly hijacked a dead woman’s Facebook page to harass her enemies, including using the N-word and saying they should hang from a noose. In Arkansas, the head of communications of the Lonoke County chapter said that librarians should be 'plowed down with a freaking gun.' In Chattanooga, Tennessee, a member of a local Moms for Liberty chapter harassed an opposing group, threatened to report them for child abuse, and called them 'pedophile sympathizers.' In Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, police had to be called to a school board meeting after members of Moms for Liberty accused attendees of being 'groomers' and wanting to show explicit pictures to children. In Charleston, South Carolina, a Moms for Liberty-affiliated member of the local school board publicly stated he would show up at his son’s teacher’s doorstep with a gun if the teacher came out as transgender."

We need more red-blooded American dads willing to defend their daughters like this man did. Sorry the pervert lost his life but that's the risk you take when you mess with an alpha male's daughter

Leo Hohmann

Oct 14, 2024

An Arkansas father has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder after allegedly shooting and killing a 67-year-old pedophile who was found in a vehicle alone with his missing 14-year-old daughter.

And it gets worse. This same pervert had reportedly already raped the man’s teenage daughter once before!

Fox News reports that Aaron Spencer, 36, reported his daughter missing last Tuesday, and Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to his home.

But as deputies were on their way to the home, they learned that Spencer had found his daughter in a vehicle with 67-year-old Michael Fosler. A confrontation ensued between the two men (I bet it did!) before Spencer allegedly shot and killed Fosler.

Deputies arrested Spencer on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder. He was booked into the Lonoke County Detention Center before being released the next day after posting bail, Fox News reports.

Sheriff John Staley said in a video on Facebook that Spencer has not been formally charged yet and that the District Attorney’s Office will decide which charges to file.

The sheriff said: “This is a tragic situation and my thoughts and prayers are with all involved.”

Spencer's wife, Heather, said on Facebook that the 67-year-old pervert, Mr. Fosler, had a “no contact order” with her daughter for stalking and raping the 14-year-old over the summer and that she and her husband feared he might kill her. She said that she and her husband were unaware Fosler was again in contact with their daughter.

He woke up to the gloomy morning with a sore throat. If this continued, he’d get ill. ((He’d get ill he continued sleeping at 5am like this, exhausting himself till he fell into slumber, getting only four hours of death-like oblivion before waking to life again.)) Then he looked at his phone.

It was his birthday.

He wanted to laugh.

What absurdity. ((His birthday.)) To be woken to another grey, lifeless day of living. All he could think of now was how he wanted to die. Unconsciously, while he was still laying with his head on the pillow, silent tears slid down his cheek. The//His pillow was stained with a white patch before he registered the action, and when he did – he decidedly took no notice of it.

He lay there like that, thoughts drifting into an inexplainable gloom before he sat up and wiped his eyes dry.

How old was he anyways? 23? Was that last year? 24 then? He did not know and truly did not care. Why would he want to celebrate that he’d survived another hopeless year?

***

"It is clear that you need me," he began, so certain of his words. He had all the reasons to be, both of them knew that he spoke the truth. "But I have no reason to stay. Why should I?" He had raised his eyes to look at L, a direct challeng to L's pride.

He could lose Light now, he had invested too much time, too much effort, too much... L did not fail, and he always got what he wanted. He would not let Light go.

But Light was right. L had nothing to shackle Light down with, and in his ... years this was the only way he knew - to have the overhand, to have more knowledge, to have something that kept people close befcause they wanted to aquire it. Now he was hopeless, because he had nothing Light could possibly want from him. Now that L had taught Light everything and Light had learnt everything because he was the genius L had believed he was, now that Light could see right through L just as he had seen through Light when they met on the night of his graduation.

His mind was driving on full speed, finding something, anything, to respond Light with.

The brown-haired was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, and his smile twisted into a small, mocking smirk - knowing that he had won.

Then a strange, illogical and absolutely foolish idea crossed L's mind, and he exercuted it before thinking through the idea - because if he did, he'd certainly not have done it. In the moment of bracery and under immense urge to prove himself, that he still had something that Light have not obtained, he looked at the dark, mocking* eyes.

"..."

L shuffled towards Light through the heavy silence and the expectant look in Light’s eyes // the challenge // ‘Surprise me’. ((And the coldness that told him that Light will turn on his heels and leave without ever loNoking back, with no regrets.)) L has this one chance and he refused to fail.

When he came close enough, their faces to mere inches away, close enough to see the slight amusement in the other’s eyes, like he wanted to see how far L would go and almost expected what was to come. Then L brought their lips together, and his world came crashing down on him.

The world’s greatest detective, kissing a suicidal ***. The world’s top three detectives, pursuading a *** to stay. What was he doing?

When he pulled away, ((his breathing laboured and uneven)), Light was looking at him with//and his lips formed an ugly smile.

“Nice try.”

Then he turned to leave.

No.

L would not allow this.

Without thinking, he grabbed onto the other’s shirt. Light stopped, but did not turn to face L.

“Anything you want to tell me, L?” The use of his name was stressed, Light knew who he was. What he was. L knew he had to spit it out, even if the words choked him, or he’d lose Light. He couldn’t afford to lose Light.

He swallowed audibly, and opened his mouth. The words stuck in his throat like glue.

“I-… I need you, Yagami-kun.” He swallowed thickly, then added in a barely audible whisper. “Please don’t go.”

L never begged anybody. He was confident in himself and his abilities. But Light was prideful too, and he had the upperhand. If L wanted to keep the younger genius, he had to sacrifice his pride. For now.
