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.

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.

As the body camera footage kept rolling, jurors heard officials speak directly to Zero after discovering that the alter ego seemed more “helpful.”
