Arkansas Father Arrested for Alleged Murder of Man Found with His Missing Daughter

Aaron Spencer is accused of fatally shooting Michael Fosler, who was previously charged with raping Spencer's daughter, in a confrontation following the daughter's disappearance.

Aaron Spencer, 36, was arrested on a preliminary first-degree murder charge after allegedly shooting Michael Fosler, 67, who was found with Spencer's missing 14-year-old daughter.
Fosler had been previously arrested and released on bond for charges related to stalking and sexually assaulting Spencer's daughter, with a trial set for December.
Spencer's wife, Heather, claims Fosler was a family friend's boyfriend who groomed and raped their daughter, and that the family had a no-contact order against him.
The shooting occurred after Spencer found his daughter in Fosler's vehicle, leading to a confrontation where Spencer reportedly acted in self-defense.
Legal experts suggest Spencer's defense may argue 'heat of passion' or self-defense, which could potentially reduce or eliminate his charges.
