athena s grandfather posted a statement on facebook forgiving horner, saying in part, i want five minutes alone in a cell with the psycho that took our athena away from us. but there s a soft, gentle voice in the back of my head telling me i need to forgive him. phil erickson is the associate pastor at first baptist church of cot andale, in paradise. his son was in athena s class at school. i think it s a good wake-up call to parents just in general just to be more aware of everything, and so just keep loving them, hug them tighter. reporter: horner had no criminal history, and now he s being held on a capital murder and aggravated kidnapping charge. his bond is $1.5 million. as for this community, they re trying to heal. there will be a vigil at the courthouse tonight, and tomorrow, more than 2,000 people are expected for another memorial here at this church. norah. o donnell: such a disturbing story. omar villafranca, thank you so much.
