First Watch: Vigilante Father Kills Daughter’s Alleged Rapist, Then Runs for Office

In Arkansas, Aaron Spencer raced to save his 13-year-old daughter from her alleged kidnapper, and ended up killing the man accused of assaulting her. Now, as he awaits trial for murder, he’s running for sheriff in the same county that arrested him. Then, Katie investigates a case in Arizona, where Christopher Scholtes left his two-year-old daughter in a car in 110-degree heat while he played video games inside. By the time he remembered her, it was too late. He faced decades in prison, but then, the day he was expected to turn himself into custody for sentencing, he was found dead by police.
