Maitlyn Gandy from Texas said her daughter was abducted and murdered by a ‘sick, cruel monster’ for no reason only hours after 31-year-old Tanner Horner admitted to the horrific crime.

The child was found lifeless on Friday evening, with police saying she likely died less than an hour after being taken from the driveway of their home.

“I don’t want her to be the girl known as the one murdered and discarded by a monster. I want everyone to know, every single person in this world, that this is my baby and my baby was taken from me.”

Gandy’s tribute comes as a 23-year-old woman says she was assaulted by Tanner Horner when she was 16 years old.
