Horrifying audio played to jurors during FedEx killer Tanner Horner’s trial in Texas Friday was so gruesome, a local station was forced to cut away from its live feed as it played.
NBC Dallas Fort Worth’s broadcast went dark as 7-year-old Athena Strand’s final moments were played during the murder trial’s fourth day.
It wasn’t immediately clear what was said on the audio tape.
Jurors on Friday were also shown disturbing photos of straps found inside the truck Horner used to abduct the girl in Paradise, Texas, in November 2022.
Horner has pleaded guilty to murder, and jurors must now determine his sentence.
