Summary

This week on Hidden True Crime, we break down the devastating capital murder trial of Tanner Horner, the man who has pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand. With the prosecution now resting, jurors have been forced to sit through some of the most disturbing evidence imaginable—including chilling audio from inside the delivery truck where Athena spent her final moments, testimony from her grieving mother, and a timeline that reveals calculated actions, deception, and unimaginable violence.
