YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Maitlyn Gancy, the mother of Athena Strand, took the stand to talk about her daughter, who went missing in November 2022. She recalled who her daughter was and the moment she learned that Athena was missing. Gancy said that she felt like she was going to die, but that she needed to get to Athena’s father’s home so she could find her daughter and everything would be ok. Tanner Horner pleaded guilty to the capital murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand just as his trial was set to begin.
