GUILTY TX - Athena Strand, 8, Abducted & Murdered by FedEx Contract Driver, Tanner Horner, Paradise, 30 November 2022 #2

[Megnut]

I wouldn't doubt that TH constantly manipulated his truck cameras -- to snort cocaine. And was never caught.

So he covered it this time, for a different crime.

He didn't cover the camera so he didn't snort cocaine until he had already placed Athena in his vehicle.

That is not what impelled him to SA her. To death.

 

[Leilei]

I thought she said snorting. Smoking would be crack then right? Coke smoked is crack?

She did say snorting.
IMO.

 

[steeltowngirl]

Oh man. TH admitted to the psych doc that he stopped to snort coke while trying to kill Athena. Tried to break her neck. She was still alive. Took a break to get high, then resumed choking and kicking her. She was tortured to death while he partied.

Even the prosecutor’s tone has stayed consistent throughout this cross….compare that to the witness’ demeanor

And yet this witness provided her report.

Wants her name on it.

 

[tlcya]

on the audio when Athena can be heard gagging and crying TH told her he was trying to get her to swallow a pill. She disbelieves that and believes he was attempting to have Athena perform oral sex on him.

believes he was attempting to have Athena perform oral sex Violently orally sexually assaulting her on him

fixed that for her, how embarrassing.

He also masturbated as he was killing her but couldn't achieve an erection

 

[Leilei]

"I believe that he was attempting to have her perform OS" "He attempted to mast*******"
Good on the State for getting her to say all of this.
Jurors won't forget.
IMO.

 

[Megnut]

Me: What's more reasonable, Doctor, that TH covered the inward camera to snort cocaine or he covered it to violently assault a little girl?

 

[shotgun09]

I'm physically nauseated again, listening to this. Popped a zofran. Here for Athena.
Group hug, all ! {{{{{ Hug}}}}

I'm not believing that cocaine was involved in any of this.
IMO.

He certainly achieved SOMETHING if there was DNA inside of her.
IJS.
IMO.

 

[Megnut]

If TH covered the inward camera (so he hadn't done the cocaine yet) AFTER abducting Athena ... so... why did he abduct Athena?

Abducted her so he could force her to see him snorting cocaine so he could kill her for seeing him?

Sure, if you ignore the sexual assaults.

Worthless report.

oh I believe he was using cocaine that day. But I don't think it has anything to do with the murder, but I do think it has a lot to do with him gaining the courage to act on a fantasy he'd had for a while, and I also think it interfered with his ability to achieve erection and ultimately fulfill that fantasy.

IJS.

Spoiler: information of sexual nature

fluids can be sercreted even without erection or ejaculation

 

[tlcya]

if the story TH told you was untrue then catastrophizing is untrue? No that isn't true

yes it is lady and you know it.

 

[Megnut]

TH wants to admit to no one that abducting a little girl and sexually assaulting her to death was arousing to him. Ergo, the lies.

He has completely destroyed her testimony.

 

[tlcya]

someone needs to point out to her that stupidity is not a disorder or syndrome. Sometimes it is simply a lack of critical thinking and many folks have that. Doesn't make them victims of anything other than their own ignorance and magical thinking.

many folks in this world lack impulse control. again not victims.

What led you to feel the cocaine part isn't believable?

 

[browneyes]

So peculiar that nothing about the fatal torture was in her report, but was in her notes. What a hack.
