My guess.

Is the part about him hitting her was his version of the story. All they needed was him to confess to having been at the scene. Evidence will fill in the blanks. But you don’t get charged with capital murder for hitting a kid and hiding the body.

Has to be committing murder during the course of another feelingly, like kidnapping, robbery or rape.

So fn pissed and sad that's [censored] up

Now we wait for the medical examiner to do their thing.

FedEx management is probably freaking out.

I think bad news being reported…

I’m sure they have a preliminary ruling by now. Would not take much to determine if she was hit by a car or strangled. I suspect strangled.

Will take longer if dna is involved, which I’m sure was collected from him.

I would PPV to see him put in a lion cage.

31 years old Uber driver / FedEx driver, I'd be working on his other victim's cases. I doubt this is number 1.

IN!!!

Local reports, again IDK what is true but I seem to believe this theory...

He drops package off and believes nobody is home or around, which 100% put him at the scene for LE

Little girl had an argument just prior and left the house, where she was exactly IDK but I bet it was near the county road which is around 200 yards aways from her house

That was his opportunity, supposedly he loaded her into the back of the box style truck and she was alive at that point.

From there, IDK what happened

I can tell you what happened. He sexually assaulted her, choked her to death and threw her out like trash.

That is what the wife concluded this morning when I asked her. I will donate the bullet to put that POS where he belongs

Its terrible, its so MF terrible

That man dropped packages here at my house numerous times, I have a daughter

A friend of mine posted his ring video of him the today

He killed that little girl and went back to delivery the next day!!!

He pulls up, sits there, goes to the back of his truck...and "realizes" he doesn't have any packages for his house and leaves

This buddy has 3 young girls, which we both think he was hunting and something deterred him, we don't know what but something sent him on his way

Death penalty deluxe right here in small town USA

There are so many sick [censored] out there. Just looking for that one opportunity. They look every day. They don’t all act on it. Some just stalk and wait for the one situation they think they can get away with.

And guys, after all this I have a 16 year very pretty girl and a 14 year athletic boy

I have guns scattered all over this house, they know guns...we have a gun range at our house for Gods sake

And still I wonder in a moments notice, in a flash could they grab one and operate it...

Because this happened that quick

And I don't know the answer I really don't

Locked gate and mean dog to me are my best options but IDK

As grown Azz men, grab gun, kill bad guy seems best but these are kids

IDK ive lost so much sleep over this

Ill say this, Wise County is the east Texas of north Texas

His outlook don't look bright....

Unfortunately, the world is full of people that
make excuses for and enable people like this
criminal.
You see it every time some tragic something
happens

Yes!

The good news in all this sadness is this piece of trash is cooked, 1 way or another, he is cooked, he's fkgn dead

I hope this guy doesn't see one day in court.

This dude will go to death row. Have tons of anti death penalty supporters, pen pals, probably a girlfriend from the UK who sends him money. Might even get married.

That’s the [censored] up world we live in.

There was a time when people would have called you a raging lunatic to say homosexuality would one day become an acceptable behavior. Unfortunately, ours will not be the first society to condone pedophilia. It's coming.

One of the most incredible things I've read. Well articulated lesson that we all need to try to understand and try to duplicate in this ugly world.

Quoting the Grandfather from the article...

"I can’t quiet my mind and I have to share this. A friend just asked me the other day if I believe God speaks to people? I happen to know He does, as He is speaking to me now," the girl’s grandfather, Mark Strand, wrote in a heartbreaking Facebook tribute on Saturday. "This flesh, this man that I am, is angry and I want 5 minutes alone in a cell with the psycho that took our Athena away from us, but there’s a soft gentle voice in the back of my head telling me I need to forgive him."

"This flesh man, wants that psycho to burn in hell for all eternity, yet that gentle voice continues to tell me, I need to forgive him," the grandfather continued. "This flesh man hopes he remains blind and deaf to the message of salvation and never sets foot in the same heaven that I know in my heart my darling Athena resides in now and yet, that gentle voice persists. Why you ask? Because Hate is a powerful force that will take root in your soul. God wants to protect us all from that hate. Hate is the gateway for the Evil we see growing in the world today."

"If you stood that man before me right now, because of the hate that’s trying to root itself in my mind, I would probably kill him," the elder Strand wrote. "Then that hate would root itself in my heart and I would be destroyed. That gentle voice is the Holy Spirit of God speaking to me right now. He’s reminding me that my savior Jesus, willingly laid Himself on a cross and died in my place to reconcile me to God the Father, but also that He did that for All of Us, even this man that my flesh so Hates at this very moment."

Good post driedmeat.

Our local school (along with most of Texas I assume) urged kids to wear pink today in honor of Athena. When we told our two young daughters that they were to wear pink today the questions started. We danced around answers like the winners of dancing with the stars.

You’ll just never understand why someone hurts a child. But the comfort I get is that young girl is with The Father.


“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭10‬ ‭

He is a far better man than I am. I only hope someday I could be able to forgive like that.

He is a far far better man than I......there is no way I could forgive that man.........and I would try to kill him regardless of what would happen to me....Just being honest. .
