Maria Spencer’s Vow to Kill | Full Episode | Forensic Files

[Music] the week before Frank was murdered we were at a go-kart race Frank would be running all these
cars and it got so competitive and they loved it he couldn't quit a real competitor yeah
he really he just he the quit wasn't in him Frank Spencer was he was like a big teddy
bear if he knew you he'd cut a leg off get up and ask if you need anything else he was one of a kind great
person outstanding friend I've talked to at least five of Frank's friends who've all told me they
were Frank's best friend I think that speaks volumes about who Frank Spencer was Peter this is the Frank Spencer
residence uh the scene of the murder really unchanged since 2012 can you take me inside sure let's
go Frank Spencer's body was right here on these tiles oh my is that remnants of his blood here it
is we didn't have to ask each other we knew knew we knew it was Maria we didn't know who else might have been involved
but we knew it was her Maria Spencer to me is a classic fem fatal an attractive woman a seductress who when a man
becomes involved with her this is going to end poorly how would I describe her as a terrorist you keeping with me cuz
I'm not with you I mean it's done it was a campaign of Terror Frank is afraid of
Maria and he's also afraid of Roco Franklin Roco Franklin's Maria Spencer's father everybody knew who Rocco was I'm
a street guy Roco everybody calls me rock what was the reputation of Roco the mythology of Roco in the community he
was a hitman he would do things for people he was had some type of association with the mob I'm not a
violent guy no I don't mind breaking somebody legs but they deserve it this was not simply a murder
case Frank told me where it was going to happen was going to be at his house she said you're going to get shot
in the head and she told him that I think she was an emotionally troubled woman who did not want to be
divorced if you could picture somebody screaming help help help and everybody's just standing around watching that's
what the situation was like was he a dead man walking absolutely in his opinion yes you w win unless I let you in he
understand you don't win sper how could this all happen if you made this into a movie
tomorrow nobody believe it actually happened [Music] [Music] I was working on a go
uh we're right in the middle of a big series we were trying to win it was July 3rd 2012 in the once
easygoing town of Bloomsburg Pennsylvania a Tuesday Joe yodok Frank Spencer's lifelong friend hadn't heard
from him since Saturday and I had been texting him cuz we had issues we had to work on with the go-karts Joe and Frank
raced go-karts together for years with their kids and so that morning Joe went went looking to find his missing buddy
I'll never forget it I was pulling down the driveway and I thought man I hope I don't find him dead when Joe found Frank
lying on the floor it took him a moment to process what he was seeing and he had
this look of Peace calmness that he hadn't had in a long time uh I stepped over his legs and I
noticed what looked like dried blood in his ear now I realized what happened and
then he wasn't alive this loss of somebody you knew from the time you were in kindergarten can you put that in
words nope it was a tragedy but not a mystery for Frank's loved ones most suspected Maria Spencer Frank's former
wife who had officially become his ex-wife just 3 weeks before the murder Maria didn't want the divorce and the
proceedings had been drawn out and contentious very contentious you could tell there was just Venom didn't matter
who was there she'd fly in screaming slamming car doors ironically Maria's passion was one
of the things that had attracted Frank to her in the first place he liked the crazy Frank's friend Paul ceciliano you
know in the beginning when they were together it was fun for him you know cuz he did have that kind of Wildside to him
Frank and Maria eloped in 1997 soon they had a son Cyrus and then a daughter Frankie well the kids were
the were his biggest priority everything he did was about the kids when Frank's father retired he took over the family
business a junkyard located behind Frank's childhood home Frank's friend and Joe's wife Katie yodok he knew
everybody I mean everybody in the town knew Frank Spencer Frank's friends say Maria didn't seem to
warm to family life the way Frank had Frank was disappointed that she wasn't taking that much of an interest in the
kids the marriage eventually began to crumble and Frank filed for divorce in 2006 police were called several times
for domestic disputes despite this Frank wanted to keep the kids in one home his
friend Ron Roman Frank said that kids shouldn't be punished by having to go to their
mother's house or their father's house this is your house so this week I live here then the that week I'll leave and
that that the kids should try to have as stable as life as they possibly can but
friends say Maria was anything but stable in 2008 she was arrested after a scuffle with Frank's mother at her
daughter's school she was charged with disorderly conduct harassment and child endangerment for allegedly not buckling
her daughter into the car Tom lipold prosecuted the case when he was an assistant DA but didn't feel
he could prove child endangerment and so I agreed to dismiss that charge in exchange for the plate of the two other
offenses Maria pleed guilty and had to pay a $600 fine but the Judgment only seemed to Fu Maria's rage she repeatedly
threatened to kill Frank sometimes in front of other people Frank had been reporting those threats to local police
for years the issue is is that Frank and Maria relationship was volatile Hemlock
Township police officer Scott Tross says Frank and Maria would fight but often reconcile he says he wrote up Maria's
threats but says Frank didn't want it pursued he just wanted things documented for his sake in case something happened
to him by 2009 the Spencer's divorce battle was 3 years along and still far from
over but emotionally Frank was moving on did the two of you hit it off right away
we did Frank and I both admit that we were both smitten at the same time when meeting each
other Julie Dent met Frank through mutual friends and things soon turned serious Maria did not take this news
well especially when she heard Julie had spent time with the children hey Julie it's Maria Spencer you can go out with
Frank but do not make no mistake about it watch my children the situation escalated further that summer Maria's
father Rocco Franklin who had a reputation as a tough guy was released from prison after serving 5 years on
fraud charges this was not good news to Frank he started changing his habits uh when when her father was out
of jail because he was very concerned about something happening to him did he feel like he was being hunted
yes a few months after Rocco's release there was a Breakin at Frank's junkyard nothing of value was taken but a pile of
business records was stolen documents that could potentially help Maria prove Frank's income in the divorce the day
after the apparent break-in uh I received a phone call from Maria Spencer saying that she had found a trash bag on
the front porch of her mother's house with all these business records in it remember Tom lipold the man who once
prosecuted Maria he was now serving as Maria's divorce attorney even though he was still an assistant DA it may sound
bizarre but it is allowed in Pennsylvania for part-time prosecutors in terms of appearances do you understand why it for
some it's troubling that you took on Maria Spencer because she'd had all these run-ins with the law doesn't that
compromise you it did not compromise me I had no contact and no involvement with
any criminal matter involving Frank Spencer or Maria Spencer after I undertook to represent her in the
divorce none many in town suspected Maria and Roco had been involved in the burglary Sergeant TR interviewed Maria
and gathered evidence which he took to the DA Tom Li hold's boss um I consulted with the district attorney at that time
and then I reviewed the entire case with him and he determined that there was not
enough to pursue criminal charges against Maria Spencer Maria gave the documents to her lawyer and they were
ultimately returned to Frank but the burglary was left unsolved to this day I don't understand it it's like we're in a
you know some weird Universe Frank's friends were beginning to wonder if Maria would ever be stopped especially
when they saw what happened next I guess when the house burned down I was like this isn't a game
anymore tough talk or threats listen to more of Maria Spencer's voicemails on Facebook at 48
[Music] Hours hey Julie it's Maria Spencer jimm me a favor don't watch my children do
not get between me and Frank by doing my children do you understand me by the winter of 2010 the war of the Spencers
continued and so did the threats from Maria I've never been threatened I really chocked it up to just a a bully
that she was just running her mouth as she so often did Maria continued to harass Frank too
often making veiled threats about her father hey Frank it's Maria she's an old man got funny ways I thought I'd let you
know because I care about you because I wanted to frighten you despite the threats Julie and Frank
tried to live a normal life that January they planned a romantic trip to the Caribbean and was Maria aware that you
were about to take a vacation unfortunately yes Maria started texting Julie about Frank he says he loves me
and didn't want to disappoint you on your only vacation this year and do you want to know if he loves you or me then
the night before they were supposed to leave she asked Frank to dinner to talk about custody and dinner turned into a
room for the night at a hotel she lured him away that night Frank's mother's home where he lived off and on went up
in Flames Frank's friends rushed to the scene including his divorce attorney Joel whis nobody could find Frank we
were all very upset thinking Frank was in the fire fortunately the house was empty that night except for the kid's
dog who died in the fire Frank's friend Dirk Reed says as they were standing by the smoldering ruins Maria drove up
smiling drives up the driveway smirk on her face turned around left that was that Frank arrived soon after Maria left
and told the state police fire marshal that he was certain Maria and her father had set the fire but the Fire Marshall
said there was no way to find evidence of arson because the structure was destroyed the fire was designated
undetermined Frank was extremely angry that they could not figure out why or how the fire started Frank was done with
just wanting things documented he wanted an arrest Frank and I approached everybody we could think of in the law
enforcement Community I still until to this day do not know if there was ever an investigation Sergeant tra from the
hemlock Township Police started a case File and spoke to Maria but says because of the Fire Marshal's conclusion there
was little else he could do I did have a strong suspicion that it was arson um but I'm not an expert so when he
determined that that's what I have to go with after the fire Maria seemed to taunt Frank in a text
karma is a wonderful thing you destroyed my life I feel a lot better since your whole life went up in the fire makes it
fair and I can hear her saying it it was just a text I can hear it Maria followed
up with another menacing text about Julie I will make her lose her job her home and you did Frank read that to you
he did he was very um to Dro by it as time went on Maria's threats grew more bold and more public at a kids
soccer game Maria screamed in Julie's face that her house was next a few months later Julie was home alone asleep
it was when I heard the breaking of glass as I came around to the top of the stairs as I was about to round the
corner I was greeted by a fireball literally a fireball coming up the stairs what do you do nothing else I
could do but to open a window and go out onto the porch roof Julie jumped from her secondstory porch roof and survived
shaken but uninjured I lost everything and do you believe that the sole intent of this was to burn a house
down or was it to kill you I do believe it also had the component of of ridding me from the life yes of Frank Spencer
Julie lived in a different County and she and Frank were hoping for a better outcome this time but another state
police fire marshal at the scene that night said he couldn't find evidence of what started the fire at this point even
I wasn't accepting it let alone Frank Julie's home insurance sent a fire inspector out the next morning and Joel
whis says he showed him what they found here by this window there was a car jack
right here laying on the ground it was a scissor jack that would lift the car what would a jack be doing here it's
heavy it's steel it was used to break that window in and the investigator noticed a path through the weeds by the
house there was a milk jug a gallon container and there was an unused road flare lying next to it an igniter an
igniter which said to the investigator these are the makings of a firebomb a firebomb the state police fire marshal
came back out to the scene and they used their apparatus to determine accelerance
and there was gasoline all over those steps this time the fire was ruled and arson Frank and Julie told the fire
marshal they were certain Maria was involved and shared her prior threats but once again no one was charged in the
fall of 2010 Frank and Julie tried separating briefly and in desperation told their story to a local
paper a year and a half later there was something else in the newspaper an announcement that Frank and Maria were
finally divorced had the two of you talked about spending the rest of your lives together perhaps we
did yes but that would never happen the day after that divorce notice was published Frank Spencer
was dead let's open this a little bit farther oh my this is his home right here yes it is
right here on the left uh this is the murder scene Pennsylvania State Police Corporal Shawn Williams was assigned to
lead the murder investigation the day Frank Spencer's body was found on that July Morning as you
approach the front door here what did you see Peter there was a lot of blood right here in front of this doorway uh
the blood had striations in it like as though it been pushed with a push broom attempt at cleanup
Frank's house has been frozen in time in the years since his murder in 2012 you can see some of our Chemical
Testing uh Frank Spencer's blood uh spattered against uh this frame and door can you get us inside
sure Frank Spencer's body was right here on these tiles uh Frank's head was uh behind this doorway and his arms were
outreached above his head he was laying on his back investigators found their next clue in the blood around Frank's
Body right here where this section of the floor was removed the forensic Service Unit did
their collection of evidence uh they found that there were Footwear Impressions on this tile in blood
Footprints yes right here yes we sent it to the FBI uh for analysis and it came back that it was a Dr scholes model
Escape brand uh size 11 uh sneaker the same size and brand of shoe that Maria's father Rocco was known to
wear what other evidence did you find here in the house I can show you if you come on in this is the main living room
of Frank's Spencer's home we come back into the kitchen here the forensic Services Unit they
found a glove a yellow cleaning glove uh right about this position right here you expect to see a rubber glove in
the kitchen but not laying in in the middle of the floor and the mate for the rubber glove was actually right inside
the sink here when the gloves were tested Maria's DNA was found inside friends say she
hadn't lived in that house in over a [Music] year it wasn't a a door slam close the
file and make an arrest but it definitely helped us along the way Detective Williams had now apparently
linked Maria and her father Rocco to the murder scene but that could only take William so far I mean we work in our
business with fact so just because everybody in town was saying I think Maria did this I think her father did
this we couldn't just assume that but soon investigators uncovered more evidence of two suspects Frank had been
shot by two different guns and forensic analysis determined that the first bullet struck Frank when he was outside
the front door and it came from a rifle uh a bullet passed through his bicep and went into his chest cavity and was
that a fatal shot do you believe yes since a rifle is typically a longdistance weapon police expanded
their search into the woods Peter right up here on this Ridge across from the house you'll see a y in a tree and
there's a big base this one right up here yes so that is the location uh where we found a spent casing a live
casing both 30 o six rounds and there was a soft gun case uh for a long rifle uh located as well now this killing took
place in July height of summer so I take it this whole Hillside would be covered
with leaves bushes would Frank have seen an attacker up there I wouldn't think so so this was
a classic Ambush yes after that first shot Williams says Frank was dragged in inside and shot again this time with a
handgun at close range then why a second bullet it could be a motivation of hatred uh it could be a message sent to
Frank Spencer that shot meant something to someone that put it there Detective Williams had another
mystery to solve where was Frank's pickup truck we have a victim inside the house but there was no vehicle there for
the victim investigators checked security cameras along the roads near Frank's house and
they found images of Frank's truck driving away from his house just minutes after they calculated he had been
murdered but who was inside the [Music] truck I sent it to the United States Secret Service and it was still just too
far away it wasn't like they could zoom in look through the window and see who was there
Frank's truck was eventually found in Sunbury Pennsylvania 27 mil from Frank's house and just 5 miles from where Maria
was living at the [Music] time Frank's missing truck had led police toward Maria's home but there was
something else missing from Franks that day that would lead them toward rocos and then all of a
sudden there was a dog up here right over here is a w [Music] [Music] miranian you good what do you think it
look all right yeah so Frank and Barbara Pinto run a wedding venue in Dolphin Pennsylvania 72 miles from where Frank
Spencer was killed on the day of the murder they were setting up for a wedding when an
Uninvited Guest wandered in beautiful dog just come saching in I said well whose dog is this and nobody knew whose
dog it was it was Frank's dog Mutley adopted after his kid's dog was killed in that fire so did Mutley look
exhausted like taken some 70 mile journey to get here no you could tell he was somebody's dog he was very well
taken care of take care of Detective Williams realized that someone had driven Mutley to dolphin and that person
must have been at Frank's house at the time of the murder and how many killers would take a
dog with them unless they knew that dog I wouldn't think too many Williams learned that Rocco lived in Harrisburg
Pennsylvania and the wedding venue is right along the road from Frank's house to Rocco
O's cell phone is on that direct route that same day Williams theorizes that Maria had asked Roco to take Muttley for
the kids sake and that Mutley had run off accidentally when Roco stopped along the
way it was now 2 months after Frank's murder and Williams wanted to talk to his two main suspects Maria refused but
to William's surprise Rocco agreed which still blows my mind why he decided to talk to us however I think Rocco likes
that cat and mouse part of an investigation Rocco did give Williams an alibi what did he say he said I never
left Harrisburg I couldn't believe it because I know from his cell phone that he had traveled twice Roco told police a
Preposterous story saying that while he had never liked Frank he was actually at
Frank's house the day before the murder without Maria helping tidy up I what kind of cleaning were you doing and he
said well uh I was you know folding laundry and uh cleaning up with the push broom that's the same push broom that
was used to clean Frank's blood off the porch even more far-fetched Rocco said Frank had let him test drive his truck
that day and that when he offered to buy it it Frank suggested they wrestle for it basically what he's saying is I
touched Frank Spencer I touched the truck and I touch that push broom it sounds like he's trying to create a
scenario if you find my DNA in any of these places this is why absolutely around the same time Rocco
was talking to Williams Frank's friend Dirk saw Maria in the stands at a high school football
game so I just sat down beside her and I said I just want to let you know don't worry about me around your kids I said
I'm never going to say anything to disrespect you or Frank around your kids and she looked at me and goes that's why
you're still alive Reed and I just looked at her and said tell your dad I said hi and she went off
like many of Frank's friends Dirk suspected Rocco had helped Maria murder Frank and we were basically almost nose
to nose and I'm going why you took him away from not just your kids from everybody what did she say to that
though I mean did she say I didn't kill him oh no no what she said was the last thing he saw before he died was
me it was a wretched moment for dirk but a huge piece of evidence for the case she's putting herself at a homicide
scene if she saw someone take their last breath she's saying she was there by that Autumn Williams was working with
prosecutor Tony foray the senior Deputy attorney general for the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania I think it was horrible that what Frank went through foray was handling the prosecution because the
County DA was now Tom lipold Maria's former divorce attorney and he had recused himself from the
case foray was a gast when he learned Frank had been reporting death threats for years both before and after the
fires in 2010 in the state of Pennsylvania is making a death threat to someone is that
a crime yes that would be a terroristic threat even when Frank did ask police to
investigate some of the threats he reported Maria was never brought in for an interview or charged with making
terroristic threats you get away with terroristic threats and then if you get away with a burglary and you get away
with a fire and you get away with a blatant attempt to murder a girlfriend in a fire the only thing left is
murder local police officer Scott TRW people in this town who believe that you and other members of the hemlock
Township uh police department were just not doing your job you were not properly
investigating these threats and complaints you say what that's not true every incident that was thoroughly
investigated if they were serious in nature um the colum County district attorney was consulted and he would
determine at that time if somebody would get arrested or not arrested the County
district attorney during most of the time leading up to Frank's murder was Gary Norton he says he never knew about
Maria's threatening voicemails and texts as District attorney I only know what the police tell me and Norton says it
was usually up to police to make arrests not the da but when I was Da 95 to 99% of the arrests that were made were made
without consultation with the da the police had that power and exercised that power Julie danfire was not in TRW or
Norton's district and Norton says he didn't ignore Frank's mother's Fire or the theft of Frank's business records he
said say he was following the law is there an arson and can we prove arson no is there a burglary no because Frank
Spencer had no proof that it was Maria who entered the premises before a prosecutor can ethically bring a charge
there has to be evidence or proof Beyond A Reasonable Doubt but prosecutor Tony fory felt he could prove the earlier
crimes and Frank's murder it took time to gather evidence and in 2013 foray convened a grand jury this time both
suspects agreed to talk and there was no interrupting Maria so as soon as she took a breath I would ask a question did
you ever threaten to kill Frank Spencer her answer would be absolutely not check
one count of perjury did you ever threaten Julie Dent absolutely not check and so for8 charged Maria with 12 counts
of perjury more than a dozen other charges and most importantly Frank Spencer's murder in July
2014 Williams went to arrest her and that's when I told her she was under arrest for the murder of Frank Spencer
she immediately began to say oh my God oh my God oh my God the warrant for Rocco's arrest was
issued the same day but Rocco was nowhere to be found it had been two years since Frank
Spencer's murder and Maria Spencer was finally under arrest it was like you lifted you know a weit like there's
1,000 lb on your back but her father Rocco had skipped town the year before fleeing right after he finished his
grand jury testimony within like 36 hours Roco Franklin had boarded a plane to Columbia South America and are you
hot on his Trail not at that point that's because Roco had an 11-month Head Start but once Williams had an arrest
warrant and a Little Help from the state department he found him he was only four
blocks away from the United States Embassy in Buenos series AR artina I couldn't believe that it was sort of
that easy sort of was the operative term within weeks Roo was arrested by Argentinian police but he fought
extradition and so in the fall of 2015 Maria Spencer went on trial for Frank's murder
alone prosecutor Tony foray the totality of what went on is I think both the strength of the case and also the the
horror of the case foray had Maria's DNA at the crime scene the truck found close
to her home and her history of death threats Maria's defense was to blame her own father clearly the defense strategy
was this was all Roco Roco Roco He's the bad guy it was all him cameras were not
allowed inside the trial one by one Frank's friends took the stand how many of you uh were called upon to testify at
trial all of us all of us they told the jury about the fires Maria's admission that she was at the crime scene and the
years of harassment Julie Dent testified about an especially disturbing threat so
what would she say to Frank one specific that I remember plain as day is that she would cut off both of
his hands and dip it into hot tart cauterize them so that she would never he would never be able to hold his
children again the trial lasted 9 days as the jury began its deliberation Frank's
friends were worried you're just think my God things never seem to go our way you know I was
scared 8 hours later the jury had reached a verdict I look down I never look at the jury because I don't want to
react I'm waiting which seems like an eternity and then it's guilty guilty guilty guilty Maria was found guilty on
all counts for murdering Frank Spencer and for the two arson the burglary 12 counts of perjury conspiracy and
terroristic threats Merry Christmas she was sentenced to life without parole plus 50 years that was it that was it
yep that's it for all of us oh my thank you thank God it took another year and a half but
in 2017 Williams was finally able to bring Roco back to St Tron I never done anything you killed Mr Spencer of course
not don't talk big Maria had argued Rocco killed Frank alone but Rocco wasn't following that script come on I
got no beef with Frank Spencer if I had a beef I a broke his face a long time ago but Rocco who spoke to us from the
county jail doesn't appear to be holding a grudge against Maria for trying to blame it all on him Maria never hurt
nobody what they did to that girl's outrageous Roco says he's innocent of murder and the rest of it but they got
no proof what proof they had show me one piece of evidence one eyewitness one fingerprint one
anything prosecutor foray says he has plenty of evidence from the shoe print in Frank's blood Footprints yes to
Rocco's ridiculous Story how are you feeling Rocco I'm doing fine how you doing putting himself at Frank's before
the murder and of course the arrival of Mutley at that wedding like I'm that dumb that I'm a steal a guy I'm supposed
to whack take his dog and leave it 10 miles from my house come on that don't even sound
right in the Autumn of 2018 after a 4-day trial Roco Franklin was convicted of Frank's murder and for the burglary
and the arson at Frank's mother's house he was sentenced to life plus 45 years I mean this has been a long drawn
out affair and it never needed to be what we're going through now Dirk's wife Dena Reed after the first fire she
should have been in prison um Frank should still be here Sergeant TR says he did what he
could Frank said I I understand that but I wouldn't do anything and our department would do anything differently
than we did Tony foray has called what Frank experienced an epic failure of law enforcement did anyone stop and look at
the totality of everything that was going on and do something significant in terms of arresting either Maria or her
father Rocco the answer is no well there's not a crime in the Pennsylvania crimes code that's called the totality
of the circumstances make you look really guilty former da Gary Norton you have to analyze these things Case by
case and ask yourself can then arrest be made and can I in good faith secure a conviction Beyond A Reasonable Doubt and
the answer uh was yes where we prosecuted her and no and we did not prosecute her I reacted as best I could
in the situation and my conscience is clear I don't have any regrets as to what I
did out in front of the courthouse where Gary Norton now serves as a judge and Maria's former divorce lawyer Tom lipold
serves as the county d a is a fundraising brick Frank Spencer purchased years ago he dedicated it to
his children and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about them and I and I still can't figure out
why why it happened [Music] was Rocco a wise guy listen to what he has to say at 48
hours.com right now it seems as if everything is unpredictable we're all stuck at home and like you I'm feeling a
bit helpless right now but I want you to know we are here for you all working together you are not alone that's right
because we're all in this and we're all in this All in This Together
