Jacob Strand, the father of the Wise County girl who was killed by a Fedex driver earlier this month, has filed a lawsuit against the man accused of murdering her, Fedex, and the contractor he worked for.
The lawsuit states in part that"Big Topspin and FedEx breached the duty of care, including...in the neglegent hiring of Defendant Tanner Horner...in failing to properly investigate Defendent Tanner Horner's criminal history, mental health history, and prior employment." to Athena's home when he allegedly hit her with his Fedex truck as he backed out of the driveway.
Horner told investigators that Athena was not seriously injured after he allegedly struck her, but that he"panicked" and took Athena into his van, worried she would tell her father what happened. Video from inside the truck showed Horner talking to Athena, and he later told detectives that she even told him her name.
