Horrific Murder of Athena Strand 

   The disturbing story about 7 year-old Athena Strand’s death came to light recently in a newly filed arrest for contracted FedEx delivery driver Tanner Horner. Horner reportedly said he had finished delivering a package at the Strand’s house and was backing up the truck when he accidentally hit the young girl. Horner told the police that the child was alive and was not seriously hurt at the time. He even stated that Athena was talking to him and telling him her name. He supposedly panicked and pulled Athena into the van. He then attempted to break the child’s neck to kill her and when that didn’t work he strangled the girl in the back of the van. Horner said he strangled the young girl because he was afraid she would tell her father that he hit her with the van. He has now been charged with capital murder.

 

Kanye West Controversy 

    Rapper Kanye West reveals that he is “fascinated” by the Maniacal Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. A business executive who worked for West told CNN that the artist created a hostile work environment in part through his strange obsession with Hitler. “He would praise Hitler by saying how incredible it was that he gained so much power and would talk about the “great” things he and the Nazi people achieved for the German people,” the executive said. CNN was also told that West spoke openly about reading “Mein Kampf” Hitler’s autobiographical manifesto and West expressed his “admiration” for the Nazis and Hitler use of propaganda. CNN has asked West for a comment on all of these accusations but none has been made. 

 

Boy in the Box 

  In Cedarbrook,Philadelphia; a headstone bears the name “America’s Unknown Child.” In 1957, a young boy was found beaten to death in a box who was not identified at the time. It took 65 years for him to be identified, Joseph Augustus Zarelli. His body was first found by a La Salle College student who was walking around the area. The young Joseph was found with scars all over his lower body; which all appeared to be surgical. Despite the killer’s feeble attempts to disguise the boy’s identity, facial reconstruction and thousands of fliers all across Pennsylvania helped detectives find out who this boy really was. Detectives are keeping extremely quiet on who the boy’s killer was.
