Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty in the death of 7-year-old Athena Strand. The 7-year-old was taken from her family home by a FedEx delivery driver and was dead within an hour of her abduction.  Authorities say a contract FedEx driver who was delivering a package to Strand’s home kidnapped the girl.   

Investigators say Strand got off a bus around 4:15 p.m. and was missing from the residence at some point before 5:15 p.m. after an argument with her stepmother.  An hour-long search ensued, but when Strand could not be found, 911 was called. 

Dozens of law enforcement and hundreds of volunteers joined the search effort. Police received a tip about the FedEx Driver Tanner Horner. When approached by police, Horner confessed. Police have not said whether Strand was sexually assaulted.

DEATH PENALTY: Tot Athena Strand, 7, Found Dead, KIDNAPPED by FedEx Driver.

Following Lindsay Clancy's mistrial due to a 'hopelessly deadlocked' jury, the jurors who spent 6 weeks listening to complicated testimony, and 6 days trying to reach a decision are speaking out about their experience and deliberation room frustrations. Nancy Grace and her expert panel react to shocking interviews from jurors who admit they still believe Clancy may be guilty, yet voted Clancy was not criminally responsible simply to ensure she received mental health treatment. Nancy and her team unpack this apparent jury nullification, defense attorney Kevin Reddington's public targeting of the lone holdout juror, and whether the prosecution will entertain a potential plea deal. 

Nancy and her panel also dive into an emerging tragedy in Frankfort, Illinois, where 40-year-old Corie Walsh allegedly strangled her two-year-old son, Barrett, with a cord before inflicting superficial cuts on herself. Despite Walsh's defense attorney insisting any link to Clancy is baseless speculation, the panel exposes chilling parallels: Walsh spent extensive time in online Clancy chatrooms prior to the killing, labeled her toddler the "Antichrist," and executed the attack while her husband was out of town.

Three jurors break their silence after a holdout juror leads to a mistrial in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy triple-murder trial in Massachusetts. An eight-year-old Indiana girl is hailed a hero after rescuing her young friends from a horrific, fatal head-on collision. Florida authorities solve the 1973 cold-case double murder of two teenage sisters using advanced genetic genealogy. Sydney Silvagni reports.

Lindsay Clancy Jurors Speak Out After Deadlock Mistrial | Crime Alert 09.10.26

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a1409390-c2eb-4d76-bdeb-b4b901731c4a/transcript

Following a deadlocked jury and a declared mistrial in the high-profile trial of Lindsay Clancy, Nancy Grace and her expert panel dive into the fiery fallout surrounding the case. Clancy faced murder charges after strangling her three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, with elastic exercise cords inside their home before attempting suicide. While Clancy's defense argued she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and command hallucinations, prosecutors presented detailed evidence of premeditation, including timed route searches and orchestrated errands to keep her husband away. Nancy Grace and her panel analyze the controversial trial aftermath, including defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s public attacks on a single holdout juror, his call for a presidential pardon, and the Commonwealth's anticipated push for a retrial.

 A shocking copycat case in Frankfort, Illinois, has also sparked fear of a dangerous ripple effect from the trial's coverage. 40-year-old Corie Walsh, who was heavily active in online Clancy chat rooms, allegedly hanged her two-year-old son, Barrett, while similarly claiming a sudden "psychotic break". Psychoanalyst Dr. Bethany Marshall, forensic investigator Joseph Scott Morgan, and defense attorney Mark Astor join Nancy to debate the weaponization of mental health claims in criminal trials, examine disturbing social media trends surrounding postpartum intrusive thoughts, and break down the grim forensic realities connecting both tragic cases.
