Send us Fan MailIn this week's heart wrenching episode, we examine the tragic and senseless murder of 7 year old Athena Strand, and the absolute demon who was convicted of killing her: Fed-Ex driver, Tanner Horner who was paid to deliver a package that contained a Christmas gift for the young girl.
