The child murderer was filmed continuing to scrub the truck for several minutes before returning to the driver’s seat and driving off during the video, which was taken on Nov. 30, 2022, the same day he kidnapped and strangled his victim.

In the same video, Horner is also seen appearing to light a cigarette and calmly smoking out of the window of the van.

Prosecutors described that as an “absolute lie,” and said Horner kidnapped the girl unharmed from near her house in Paradise, Texas, before stripping and killing her and dumping her body in a creek 10 miles away.
