It's a very large property in a small rural town. This was a crime of opportunity, committed by a monster. A chance encounter, and that was it. All that's left now is to deliver justice for her grieving family. Get it done, Texas!Mailbox is two hundred yards from house. So it’s a long driveway.
In my opinion, anyone who murders a child deserves the death penalty. No exceptions. My opinion only.If you do something to deserve the DP, you deserve to get the DP. Period.

Lake worth PD put out a tweet yesterday saying he is NOT a Lake Worth resident however he does live across the Lake .. which is Fort Worth . And he was adamant on it lol.I understand your point of semantics and details relating to the location. It is similar to what the police said..he’s from Lake Worth, but his address posted above says Fort Worth. Two technically different places but also neighboring. But for those not familiar with this area, Lake Worth is really small.
The driveway was 149ft (calculated by OP I responded to). I rarely see the same FedEx driver in my area, especially around the holidays - and we get A LOT of packages. I’m not sure if you can pick and choose a specific area. Athena being outside at that precise time in the rural countryside would be like winning the lottery for a pedophile/predator.The purpose of the cameras are to protect the driver, if he knew where they were present or where they were located he could have moved the vehicle so it would not catch his activity.
It is a rural rural area. His delivery time would have been similar, after she was home from school. He likely had seen her before- this was likely premeditated.
What was the length of the driveway?
Where did he leave the package?
In rural areas it is common to have a large mailbox near the road where deliveries are to be made. Unless it was a big package and he had to drive up the driveway? I would be curious to know the length of the driveway from the road, and where he parked his truck typically for deliveries.
In my opinion only,
Justice for Athena
Yes I saw this as well. Literally 6.7 miles from dads house and where she was found.Why does it say southeast of Boyd? It should be west of Boyd.
CR 4599 is between Cottondale and Boyd. Cottondale is west of Boyd, Paradise is N of both.
All three make a equilateral triangle with Cottondale at the bottom left, Boyd bottom right and Paradise at the top.
If this is where she was found, it is 7-8 miles east from where she went missing.
Look on Google Maps, search CR 4599 Boyd, TX
All of the County Rds are marked on Google Maps

Justice for Athena!
I see fear-What is that expression in his mug shot? It's not anger. It's not guilt, sorrow or remorse.
This monster actually looks like he's about to smile.
Am I the only one seeing that?
Someone please tell me I'm not the only one seeing that.
IRRC a delivery was made to a house close by (within the area...not like nextdoor or something). The sheriff would not disclose the address of that house. When FedEx or any other delivery service delivers your package, they input into their handheld system thingie the time it was delivered. That would also be digital evidence. I do recall the sheriff, or maybe it was the FBI guy, saying they contacted FedEx and their cooperation helped them locate him. I believe during the canvassing of the homes within the 5 mile area is when they learned of the delivery and followed up with it which led to the driver and ultimately finding the precious child.I think LE got cellphone pings or something and that is why they were suddenly searching all the different areas. Imo.
The ME will determine all the above soon I hope. And if he doesn’t get the DP, he won’t last long in jail.. believe me.Has it been determined that Athena was r...d? I have seen no mention of it. To me imo it seems likely but I have not seen it confirmed. I hope and pray this poor girl and her family gets the justice they deserve. I am on the fence with dp and I would never want to make that decision on a jury. <modsnip> I hope he pleads guilty and the family members get their chance to face him in court. If he doesn't get dp he will def stay in jail for the rest of his life.
Who'd of thought a fed ex driver? Scarey times.
Not at this time, but there could be additional charges after the ME is done taking care of her. It made me profoundly proud and profoundly sad at the same time, when the LE (forgot his name) spoke to the media last night and stated she had a Texas Ranger escort to the ME, one in front, and one in back.Has it been determined that Athena was r...d?

I agree. “In the course of a day as a package handler, you could drop off an average of 120 deliveries or more.” The delivery drivers are tracked and are supposed to be in almost constant communication to keep them on schedule, I read in description about UPS drivers.According to this, it's a crime of opportunity.

It just seems so unlikely imo that Athena was outside so often in this rural area that it could be planned. The drivers have devices that record each and every delivery. They take pictures if delivery is left at the gate - this insures that someone cannot say a package wasn’t delivered. I deal with USPS, UPS, FEDEX and others all the time. They cover their a$$ with “digital evidence” - which is how they got this monster. I swear he’s delivered packages to my house, many of which come from airport in DFW area. I rarely see the same driver but I suppose they could be assigned to a specific area??![]()

In my opinion, this insignificant Fort Worth vs Lake Worth spat is worthy of zero attention. A beautiful little girl was torn from her family and horribly murdered by a weird and twisted loser. It doesn't really matter if he lived in Fort Worth or Lake Worth, in my opinion.Lake worth PD put out a tweet yesterday saying he is NOT a Lake Worth resident however he does live across the Lake .. which is Fort Worth . And he was adamant on it lol.
I’m sure FedEx trucks have trackers, as do most transport trucks, and they know where every one of them are at all times.I think LE got cellphone pings or something and that is why they were suddenly searching all the different areas. Imo.
200 yards is two football fields! A very long driveway...Mailbox is two hundred yards from house. So it’s a long driveway.
