FedEx Driver Sued For Killing A 7-Year-Old Girl

Introduction

The father of a 7-year-old girl has accused a FedEx delivery man in Texas of murdering his daughter.

He filed the claim in Wise County court several weeks after his daughter was discovered dead in a body of water in Boyd, roughly 10 miles from his Paradise home.

This month, the driver was arrested on accusations of capital murder and aggravated abduction. Authorities claimed he informed them he put the kid in his van after hitting her with the car. According to an affidavit, he killed her because he was afraid she would tell her father about being hit by a FedEx truck.

At the time, the accused worked for Big Topspin, a FedEx subcontractor. Horner and both firms are mentioned as defendants. According to the lawsuit, the girl was playing in her front yard when the defendants brought Christmas presents. According to other media sites, her mother stated that he was dropping off the "You Can Be Anything" Barbie dolls.

According to the lawsuit, after hitting her with the van, the accused either took her inside the van or encouraged her to join the van. Despite the fact that the infant was not significantly injured, the accused was accused of murdering her.

FedEx and Big Topspin are accused of carelessness in the lawsuit. The family is requesting more than a million dollars. FedEx is aware of the issue, according to a representative. Big Topspin could not be reached for comment immediately, and it is unclear whether the accused has retained a counsel to speak on his behalf.

The youngster was reported missing at about 6:41 p.m. on Nov. 30 after she went missing from her home. According to the affidavit, investigators discovered that a FedEx driver had delivered items to the residence around the same time and collaborated with the contracting firm to establish which driver was on that route.

Investigators also discovered that the van was outfitted with cameras that filmed the accused transporting a little girl who resembled the defendant's daughter in his van. According to the affidavit, the driver was seen on camera conversing with her in the vehicle. A $1.5 million bail has been set for the driver.
