Jurors on Friday were also shown disturbing photos of a bungee-like cord and a rope foundĀ inside the truck HornerĀ used to abduct the girl in Paradise, Texas, in November 2022.
Other disturbing evidence presented during the trial has included hour-long video footage that reportedly showed Horner, 34, strangling the young girl to death.
