YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

FedEx driver Tanner Lynn Horner told Texas police he strangled 7-year-old Athena Strand out of fear she would tell her father he hit her with his delivery van, according to an arrest warrant.

Horner admitted to grabbing the young girl from her Paradise yard and tossing her in the truck in a moment of panic after accidentally backing the van into her last week, according to the warrant obtained by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram states.

Athena was not seriously injured in the Nov. 30 accident, but Horner, afraid of the consequences, allegedly decided to kill her, the report said.

He told police he tried unsuccessfully to break her neck before strangling her to death with his bare hands in the FedEx truck, according to the arrest warrant.
