On November 30, 2022, former FedEx driver Tanner Horner kidnapped, strangled, and then took the life of seven-year-old Athena Strand in Paradise, Fort Worth, Texas.
He discarded her body in a creek a few miles from her house.
Horner was arrested two days later and charged with capital homicide after authorities identified him through digital evidence. Horner pleaded guilty and currently faces capital punishment or life imprisonment without parole.
