DALLAS — The FedEx delivery driver accused in the slaying of 7-year-old Athena Strand has been indicted on capital murder and aggravated kidnapping charges by a Wise County grand jury.
Tanner Horner, a 31-year-old FedEx contract driver from Fort Worth, was indicted Thursday in connection with Athena’s disappearance and death in late November, court records show. Horner’s attorney declined to comment.
Athena’s mother, Maitlyn Gandy, thanked the grand jury in a statement provided by her legal team, which she hired to investigate Athena’s death.
