FedEx Driver Kidnaps 7 Yr Old Girl After Delivering Her Barbies Then SA's Her In Back of The Van

“And then it turns into, but it wasn't me strangling her. It was actually my alter ego, Zero strangling her because I have three alter egos. Tanner then gives the investigators his newest version of events that ZeRo is to blame for all of this.”

“There is footage from inside the FedEx truck where Tanner had preemptively covered the FedEx truck cameras with sticky notes days before the kidnapping, which a lot of people believe that this indicates he was trying to kidnap someone within the next few days. He made sure that he was in the same FedEx fan all those days and then even after the crime so that he could be in control of what they've been calling his mobile crime scene.”

“But this is what's abnormal about it. When police bring in the dogs, the dogs keep doing circles around the main house on the property. That means her scent just circles the property and just ends. It doesn't follow a lead into the woods. It doesn't follow and go into the aunt and uncle's house. It's just around the property, and then it cuts off.”

“One of the lead investigators working the case says, so my immediate thought is go ahead and lock everybody in on a statement. That's why they try to get statements as quickly as possible. They wanna lock you into one version of events. They're gonna try to find evidence that doesn't fit that version, and then they're gonna force you to change your version over and over and over again until you're just straight up lying. You dig yourself into a hole, and then you have to tell the truth.”

“He writes in a note to the police later. Detective, my family is in danger. He writes that he's being framed for the murder of Athena Strand. He writes, don't tell the media. Don't tell my family. They'll tell the media. Don't tell the family of Athena until their lawsuit against FedEx goes through. This is between me and you, detective. As long as it stays between us, my family stays safe. I will gladly take the blame as long as my family is safe.”

“He says after he kills a little girl, he goes home after a shift and, quote, I just went home and I went to sleep. I took my sleeping medication, watched Game of Thrones, and I was out. Did you take anything from her? I mean, not that I can think of. I mean, I might have found a sock, but I just kinda threw it.”

“But because this is Texas and because he's plead guilty to capital murder, it doesn't matter. If he wants to die by the state, there has to be a whole trial where the jurors are told by the judge, quote, there will no longer be a first phase of the trial where you will be determining whether or not guilt has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Your sole duty now will be to listen to all the evidence that is going to be presented to you because you will be using that evidence to determine the proper punishment to be assessed.”

“After getting rid of Athena's body in the bamboo area, he says that he went to Luvs, which is a convenience store and truck stop where he gets cleaning supplies. The lead detective is like, would it did they ask you what you're cleaning up? Because he didn't even buy the supplies. He says that he just went to the counter and was like, hey. I made a mess in the van. Can you give me some cleaning supplies I can use? So the front desk gives him some cleaning supplies. What did you tell him you were cleaning up? He stated that he was cleaning up vomit and feces.”
