The Message Sent To His Mom... #truecrimeshorts #truecrimeinvestigation #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

A few days after Kelly found out that Spencer had died, she was sad. She couldn't sleep, so she opened Facebook
in the middle of the night and she had gotten this message. And I'm going to read it for you.
It said, "I only knew Spencer briefly. I was homeless and going through a very tough
time in my life. I met Spencer at a park one day and we chatted for a good while
and even hung out once or twice after that. He was sincerely a shining light in those dark times. One of the reasons
I made it through was because of people like him who treated me so well and pushed me to make things better. I've
since then been doing fairly well for myself and can say I grew a lot. I never would be able to say that if it wasn't
for him being the person he was. I cannot express my sorrow for what has happened. I sincerely hope it brings
comfort to those close to him to know he helped save one soul. May he rest in peace and may you all cherish in the
memory of him as I will." Mhm. Wow. Kelly has no clue how this guy found her or remembered Spencer's name,
but that was the reminder she needed to see that Spencer's life was purposeful and
he helped so many people along his journey.
