Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin confirmed that 7-year-old Athena Strand’s body was found Friday afternoon in Boyd, Texas. It's about six miles from the Cottondale Fire Department.
Athena’s biological mother showed up to Friday’s news conference. She didn’t want to talk on camera but said she is desperate to have her daughter home. "The mother and daughter had a little bit of an argument, which is not unusual for a 7-year-old and a stepmother," said Akin. "Athena got upset and she walked away, as she has done in the past, but they expected she would come back."For the past hour, investigators have been actively focused on a roped off ditch area about seven miles from Athena Strand’s home, but there's no information on why.
I like to see the suspects face we have the right to see his face.
Unfortunately there's no capital punishment in WI. And that's too bad !!
😢 may her spirit find peace
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The point is, is that more strangers (a delivery person is a stranger) are coming to peoples homes more now than ever before due to instant delivery and e-commerce. Family’s need to be safer and keep an eye out. Private neighborhoods are not private anymore.
Death row for that driver please
😢🙏🏼😔
Authorities say the driver, 31-year-old Tanner Lynn Horner of Lake Worth, was an independent contractor. He is being held in the Wise County Jail and is charged with capital murder and aggravated kidnapping. He is being held on a $1.5 million bond.
This is so heartbreaking 💔😭😭😭I hope he’s beat daily in jail
🙌
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends who were left behind to deal with the aftermath of an outrageous deed of action from a very awful pathetic person
Makes me hurt for her family and her. So wrong, so so, wrong
Can’t leave any child unsupervised in your own yard anymore. It’s so sad, the lack of freedom we have living in this crazy world. Can you imagine the poor girls eyes, looking up at that predator, in that situation? Bless her heart. 💔
Oh noooo!
omg!! Rip Babyo
I got sympathy for anyone that hurts children. They can toss him to hungry wolves and I wouldn’t complain.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people? This is sick, disturbing and flat out disgusting. My thoughts and prayers go out to this family. God bless this little girls soul. May the family find peace in a time of tragedy.
Very sad 😔
Oh no… poor precious angel, my heart is broken. 💔
Completely heartbroken. She reminds me so much of my own little girl not much younger than Athena. My heart goes out to the families 😭♥️
