“We think Athena died within an hour or so of departure from her home,” police said after a desperate two-day search ended in heartbreak.
After a desperate two-day search for a 7-year-old girl who vanished from her Texas home this week, police dropped a bombshell late Friday: The little girl was allegedly abducted and murdered by a FedEx driver who made a delivery to her house.
The girl’s stepmother reported her missing from the family’s home in Paradise late Wednesday, telling police that when she went to check on the girl in her bedroom, she wasn’t there. An Amber Alert was issued Thursday noting that “law enforcement believes the child’s safety and health are in danger.”
“Her body was recovered about two hours ago, maybe three, six miles in that direction. It hurts out hearts to know that that child died,” he said, visibly upset.
