Former FedEx driver sentenced to death for killing 7-year-old girl after delivery at her Texas home
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A former FedEx driver, Tanner Horner, was sentenced to death for the murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand in Texas. Horner, 34, pleaded guilty to capital murder last month, just as his trial began. The jury heard evidence, including audio from his delivery van, revealing the horrific circumstances of Athena's abduction and murder. Her body was discovered two days after she was reported missing from her home in Paradise. Prosecutors argued that Horner posed a continuing threat to society, and jurors found no reason to consider life imprisonment instead of the death penalty. Athena's family had been expecting a Christmas gift from Horner.
