Summary
An 18-year-old with high-functioning autism, Tristen Barker, is now linked to a home break-in in Blue Springs, Missouri — a shocking twist for his father, who says his son was living in a special needs facility, loved school, and never acted this way. He suspects Tristen was manipulated and questions safeguards in place for his son’s safety. Despite the gravity, Tristen’s dad shows compassion toward the homeowner, who acted to protect their family — but laments the tragic escalation. Police are still investigating, with no charges filed or homeowner’s identity released. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
