Other outlets describe the case in similar terms, noting the sequence of events involving the Christmas delivery, the child’s disappearance, and Horner’s subsequent conviction. The reports also agree on Horner’s role as a former FedEx driver and the victim’s age, location, and name.

Overall, all sources focus on the guilty plea and the death sentence in connection with the murder of Athena Strand following a delivery at her Texas home.
