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

[steeltowngirl]

I don’t think I will ever look at a Fed Ex truck, stopped with flashers on, the same way again.

The devil in a FedEx truck.
He’s calm as a cucumber on his way back.

Now TH is seen on video making a phone call to a female. describes something smelling like vomit in here. ate something that didn't agree with Says already cleaned it up. been feeling nauseous all day. they discuss they have a big day tomorrow. Have a good evening, take care. says the man who just tortured and murdered a small child.

He makes another call, claiming he threw up in the back of his fedex truck and there is only one gas station nearby so he cleaned it up best he could. Ltights a smoke and says he feels A LOT better now.

Spoiler

he has the nerve to groan eww as he cleans up her feces and other bodily fluids from the back of the truck.

I noticed that as well.
Telling his employer he needs the same truck tomorrow….he threw up in it.

The description of that audio is chilling and so, so dark. Just horrifying knowing how much that poor little soul suffered during her last hours. It’s clear she was such a brave, confident, clever little girl. Telling him no when he ordered her to undress, repeating the safety boundaries that her mom told her. It’s heartbreaking and it must be devastating for her parents to know what this demon did to their child. He deserves everything that’s coming to him. Pure evil.

From my earlier link...

Jurors sob as heartbreaking audio is played of Athena Strand's murder

After being warned since the start of the trial that it would include graphic testimony, including audio of the murder of Athena Strand, Judge George Gallagher warned the courtroom on Thursday that this was their last chance to leave before that chilling recording was played for the jury.

He just said (paraphrased); "...it kinda smells like barf in here .....", "...it smells really bad..."

Now he just said, "...I actually feel a lot better ..."
He's complaining that the company wants him to pay for the cleaning wipes/supplies.
Had little Athena vomited out of fear and/or pain while he was murdering her ?
Piece of excrement.
Jmo.

 

[Megnut]

He's asking to be assigned the same truck "because it smells like vomit". Assures then he'd not sick, just nauseous.

I'm nauseous.

JMO

 

[CHEL]

I cannot stand the sound of his voice.

 

[browneyes]

How dare the gas station want to charge him for cleaning supplies!?!?

Yes, that's what he said in the phone call.
Grrr.
Am wondering if it was actually Athena's vomit/body fluids ?
Imo.

it was.

Spoiler: more than that

what was done to her resulted in her blood, vomit and feces being in the back of that truck

He probably vomited while cleaning up.

Unbothered by what he'd done to her, just couldn't deal with the aftermath.

Not sure I believe he vomited though. More likely an asphyxiated child did, when regaining consciousness. Whichever time.

He is a psychsexualsadistic pedophile.

There's a special place in hell for him.

This is exactly the kind of crime the death penalty is for.
If anyone deserves to pay for their crime with their life, it's this evil person.

he has returned to work and parked the truck in the lot. he plays on his phone for a bit. Is he googling about a kidnapped child? deleting google searches? He is done now and places phone charger in backpack. takes some clothing articles (Athena's?) in his backpack. Leaves the truck taking backpack with him.

Jury is being dismissed.

State rests.

 

[Leilei]

As horrific as this is, thank heavens this dude appears to be a complete idiot and left everything the jurors need to give him the DP.
IMO.

 

[Megnut]

State rests.

Jury is being dismissed.

My heart hurts for them. I imagine that sleep will be very elusive tonight.

Just imagine, all of that audio and video evidence could have been lost after 40 hours if that witness from yesterday hadn’t taken it upon himself to do a little extra digging. He’s her hero. These jurors are too.
