​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! A disturbing video shown in a Texas courtroom depicts the former FedEx driver, who admitted guilt in the killing of 7-year-old Athena Strand, switching between personalities—while his defense team pleads for sparing his life citing mental health challenges. Tanner Horner, 34, entered his guilty plea to the abduction and murder of Athena right before his trial was scheduled to start in Fort Worth this week. A jury will determine whether he receives a life sentence or the death penalty. Jurors have viewed several days of body camera footage and police interrogation videos showing Horner’s interactions with authorities after his arrest, as they deliberate on the death penalty. Defense attorney Lindsay Thompson has sought to portray Horner sympathetically by disclosing his autism diagnosis, brain damage, mental illness, and severe lead exposure. BODYCAM FOOTAGE REVEALS ATHENA STRAND’S KILLER, FEDEX DRIVER, SWITCH PERSONAS; CLAIMS DITCHING GIRL’S CLOTHES WAS ‘FUNNY’. In court on Thursday, haunting body camera footage showed Horner instructing officers to talk to his alter ego, whom he called “Zero.” In the video clip, the officer asked, “Hey Zero, when you took her, was she wearing a jacket or anything?” referring to Athena. Horner, responding as Zero, said, “No jacket, no shoes.” This sudden apparent personality shift occurred during Horner’s encounter with police, alarming Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist and expert trial witness. ATHENA STRAND’S KILLER FEDEX DRIVER TOLD POLICE HE ‘KIND OF TOSSED’ 7-YEAR-OLD’S BODY INTO WOODS, VIDEO SHOWS. The most striking aspect from a criminal profiling viewpoint is the multiple personas Horner has displayed in various situations, Lieberman told Fox News Digital. “He has appeared completely sane at times, yet he also claims to have a separate identity or alter ego, suggesting he may have been manipulative—like a malingerer or psychopath—on other occasions.” VIDEO: Athena Strand’s murderer admits he ‘just kind of tossed her’ into the woods. As the body camera footage kept rolling, jurors heard officials speak directly to Zero after discovering that the alter ego seemed more “helpful.”

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! MARSH HARBOUR, Bahamas – EXCLUSIVE: An overnight security guard at a boatyard on a Bahamian island came across American Brian Hooker after he washed ashore roughly eight hours following his wife’s disappearance into a dark, stormy sea last weekend. Edward Smith, employed at Marsh Harbour Boatyards—a boat storage and repair site in the tourist spot—was notified by a colleague that a man had staggered onto the premises, muttering about a key and a woman. The individual was 58-year-old Hooker, now detained in a Freeport, Bahamas jail, who claimed his wife, Lynette Hooker, fell from their dinghy as they motored back to their yacht from a bar in Hope Town. DAUGHTER OF MISSING AMERICAN WOMAN IN BAHAMAS CITES ‘PRIOR ISSUES,’ URGES COMPLETE PROBE. On Saturday, April 4, Hooker and his wife were eating and drinking at the Abaco Inn—a restaurant in Hope Town, known locally as “Elbow Cay”—several miles by sea from the small, jagged-rock beach where he came ashore in Marsh Harbour. “He said he was on a cay, like at a bar, having something to eat or drink, and they came out to go to another place or back to their boat, but somehow they got out in the rough weather, and they had that incident, the lady [went] overboard, or whatever,” Smith told Fox News Digital on Saturday. Smith declined to be video recorded or photographed. Hooker was arrested for questioning as police investigate Lynette’s disappearance. He informed police that the seas were rough shortly after sundown as the pair tried to return to their yacht, and Lynette fell overboard with the dinghy’s key in her pocket, which cut off the engine. For the next several hours, Hooker drifted and paddled the dinghy, eventually reaching the boatyard’s shore around 4 a.m. The following day… “He drifted from that moment until he arrived here,” Smith said.

No charges have been filed against Hooker by police, and he insists Lynette’s falling overboard was accidental. On Wednesday, he was taken into custody and transferred to Freeport, a distinct island in the Bahamas.
