ALERT: Jury broke down in tears today while footage of Tanner Horner killing 7-year-old Athena Strand was played.
They were also shown footage of Horner telling his boss that he had “thrown up” in the truck, requesting the same vehicle the next day.
The footage of the abduction reportedly showed Horner dropping off a package, a Barbie Christmas gift.
Horner allegedly picked up Athena and placed her in the back of the FedEx truck and closed the door.
He is then seen whispering something to her as she is moved from the back of the truck to the front.
Athena then asks, “Are you a kidnapper?”
Horner told her to sit down and not scream, or he would hurt her.
Seeing this caused some of her family members to leave the courtroom.
Horner then covered the camera so only audio could be heard.
After trying to make conversation about how old Athena was, where she goes to school, Horner says, “You're really pretty. You know that?”
Horner then asked Athena to take off her shirt. She said “No” and asked for her mom.
Athena was then heard crying, screaming, and loud banging was coming from the back of the truck, according to local reports.
Athena's parents, Jacob Strand and Maitlyn Gandy, have both testified in the trial, but they did not sit in the courtroom while the video was played.
After cleaning the back of the truck with some kind of spray and a roll of paper towels, Horner was heard on the phone, claiming he had eaten bad food and gotten sick, and requesting the same FedEx truck the next day.
