· KRGV (NBC 5)
A former FedEx driver, Tanner Horner, was sentenced to death for the 2022 murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand in Texas. Horner, 34, pleaded guilty to capital murder after taking Athena from her home while delivering a Christmas gift. The jury in Fort Worth heard evidence, including audio of Athena's last moments in Horner's delivery van. They determined he posed a continuing threat to society and found no justification for a life sentence instead of death. Athena's family revealed the package was a Christmas gift containing Barbies. The trial was relocated for fairness reasons.
