Thank you for your local perspective. I think it's crucial for those of us not familiar with the area, the terrain and the weather impact on that terrain. I'm sitting here trying to picture this guy deciding to swim across a canal in 50-60 mph winds and rain. I'm also trying to picture him...

I came here to say the same thing. I wonder what they presented to him to let him know they had him. https://www.wjtv.com/news/state/jury-selection-begins-for-man-charged-in-ole-miss-students-death/

From looking at her recent pictures, she has gotten off the drugs and is enjoying the cafeteria.

Exactly. I saw where they mentioned having his torso, and that left me wondering if that was all they found of him. It would be helpful if someone could clarify if that is, in fact, the case. Can you really make such a distinctive, conclusive ruling from just a torso? Maybe you can, but it...

It would seem logical that in order to rescue the child that some force (lethal or otherwise) would be needed in this case, due to the rapist's obsession and determination, knowing the details that we know. It's a shame that the rapist didn't undergo the same scrutiny for his actions...

I'm sure we'll learn more horrid details when this goes to trial. One thing that is being overlooked here is that the parents feared the rapist had taken the girl to finish her off so she could not testify against him. I sincerely hope that neither I, or anyone else, is ever in this horrible...

What if it wasn't done that night?

Number one, people who live in rural areas do not have time to wait for someone to come rescue them. That is not a condition of self-defense. Secondly, a minor child does not have "freewill" to leave with an adult male who they have a protection order from. Thirdly, I already explained that...

Self-defense is not against the law. Defending your minor child in the absence of law enforcement presence is considered self-defence.

He told the convenience store clerk he was heading home; back to his wife. It doesn't really make sense that he ended up where he was found. Believe what you want but the ending here does not make sense. People get away with murder every day.

Are there people here that actually believe Spencer should have just let Fosler get away with his child in the car? This is insane. I'll add that no one truly knows what actually went on once it all went down. As far as those worried about innocent people getting caught up in vigilante justice...

Thank you for this. I am normally pretty good at unraveling complicated family connections but this one had be confusing myself at times.

I completely agree! I believe he feared for his safety and maybe even his life. If he had no drugs in his system, it's the only explanation that works for me.

Yeah, I guess that's what we might have called a farm track, timber track or tractor ruts. I've never heard the term "two-track road" either.

Unfortunately we are seeing this type of leniency here more and more often. Judges are to blame. A case in my state right now has been escalated to the federal level because the judge gave the perp no jail time at all even though they pled guilty with no plea bargaining. Sexual assault of a...
