Texas Jury Sentences Tanner Lynn Horner to Death for 2022 Murder of Athena Strand
A Texas jury sentenced Tanner Lynn Horner to death for the 2022 kidnapping and murder of seven-year-old Athena Strand. Horner, a former FedEx driver, pleaded guilty to the capital murder and kidnapping charges before the jury decided his punishment. The sentencing follows a trial where witnesses, including Horner's pastor, testified about his nonchalant response after the crime occurred. The case began in November 2022 when Horner kidnapped Strand while delivering a package to her home. Prosecutors sought the death penalty, and the jury reached its decision after hearing testimony about the nature of the crime. Horner is now set to face execution for the capital offense.
