35 year old Tanner Horner, a delivery driver with a route in Paradise, Texas writes a letter to the police, “Detective, my family is in danger…”

 

He goes on to claim that the pants in his backpack, although they do belong to the kidnapped and murdered 7 year old girl that recently went missing in Paradise, Texas, were in fact planted there.

 

But that’s just one version of the events Tanner Horner confessed to the authorities. Detectives know it’s not true but how else can they find out what really happened to Athena in the last hours of her life?

 

The true extent of his crimes will not be fully known until simultaneous audio and visual footage plays at his sentencing trial; his delivery truck had an interior dash cam that was recording the entire time.

 

Will Tanner Horner be given life or be put to death? This is the kidnapping, SA, and murder of 7 year old Athena Strand.

High school relationships typically end with everyone moving away for college, which is why ‘love’ letters like these are written. This was addressed to *redacted*, the quarterback of the high school football team.

 

“..Even if we don’t talk all the time now or even @all when you’re in college, I feel like our little bond will always be there - so just hit me when you wanna go get wasted @ a bar together and I’ll send you my wedding invite one day…”

 

“…how you wouldn’t get out of my car for like 3 hours…or all the random times you “fell asleep” on my couch just waiting for me to invite you into my room (lol)…”

 

“...for this “relationship” being extremely wrong, I feel like we have really made the most out of it…I mean, you’ve been to my parent’s house…in their closet…insane.”

 

“Like bro, you’re the 1st person that got me to smoke weed…Even though you never say it back, I love you + wish you all the best…Love, HB.”

 

The letter never makes it to the quarterback. Instead, it’s found by the Peoria Police Department during a search warrant of the quarterback’s old high school teacher.

 

27 year old Haley Beck - or as her students call her - Ms. Beck, has just been caught grooming one of her students.

Taxi drivers run the gamut of clientele outside motels but it’s a hotspot for business and this night-shift driver just lucked out. A very beautiful, 20 year old young woman, in a low cut top, climbs into the backseat.

 

A smell hits the driver. She’s holding two giant take out bags of fried chicken. Great. A new, horrible air freshener.

 

Suddenly she urges him, “Hurry! Go fast! I’m being chased! I’ll give you cash!! Go, go, go!”

 

The driver steps on the gas out of instinct, frantically glancing back in his rearview. The woman leans back, takes a deep breath, snaps a picture, and then just starts scrolling on her phone like every other fare. Her demeanor seems relaxed now?

 

The ride was different but not outrageous. Still, the driver doesn’t stop thinking about it. The fried chicken grease smell. The weird urgency and then the lack thereof. Was she lying about the chase so he would drive faster, getting her home before her chicken went cold??

 

Then, he sees the news. The young woman he picked up that evening is the motel serial killer of South Korea.

 

The one locals claim is, ‘too pretty to go to jail.’
