Jurors were left in tears and family members walked out of a Texas courtroom Thursday as disturbing footage capturing the final moments of 7-year-old Athena Strand’s life was played during her killer’s trial.
Tanner Horner, 34, is currently awaiting sentencing after he pleaded guilty on to capital murder and aggravated kidnapping on April 7, right before his trial was set to begin.
Athena Strand was taken from her father’s home in Texas, where Horner had delivered a package containing Barbie dolls intended as a Christmas gift. Investigators allege Horner strangled the 7-year-old inside his truck, before disposing of her body in a nearby area.
