An Amber Alert was issued Thursday for the Wise County girl, who authorities said had been missing since Wednesday.11:17 PM on Dec 2, 2022 CST
Athena’s body was found about 7 or 8 p.m. southeast of Boyd, about 25 miles northwest of Fort Worth, Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin said at a late-night news conference. Akin said at an Friday-afternoon news conference that the girl was alone with her stepmother Wednesday after her father left to go on a hunting trip. He said the stepmother called 911 to report Athena missing after an argument.
At Friday night’s news conference, Akin said Horner made a delivery in front of the home about the same time Athena went missing. He added that Horner did not know the family. “This community does not like losing our children,” Akin said. “We could see it because of all the people who came out and helped us throughout this ordeal. It was most meaningful what the citizens did because we have a close-knit group of folks here in Wise County.”

There’s just no place in this world for someone who would do this to a child. Why are we even going to waste our money on this guy. 😡
Paywall, did they catch the SOB?
