11-year-old Audrii Cunningham, from Texas, has been missing since Thursday
Police Investigating Disappearance of 11-Year-Old Girl in Texas
Authorities in Texas are on a mission to find an 11-year-old girl who vanished while waiting for her school bus. Audrii Cunningham was last seen near her home in Livingston, a small town in East Texas. Despite the expectation that she would board the bus, Audrii never made it to school.
The county sheriff’s office revealed that Audrii was carrying a distinctive “Hello Kitty” backpack, which caught the attention of investigators. In a surprising turn of events, a similar backpack was discovered near the Lake Livingston Dam, not far from Audrii’s residence.
Lake Livingston, a massive reservoir providing water to Houston and other cities in East Texas, has become a focal point in the search for Audrii. The authorities have arrested a person of interest, Don Steve McDougal, on an unrelated assault charge. McDougal’s criminal history, which dates back to 2001, includes charges related to child enticement.
Audrii’s mother, Cassie Matthews, suspects that McDougal, a friend of Audrii’s father, may have been involved in her daughter’s disappearance. However, this connection has not been confirmed by the authorities.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation, with assistance from various law enforcement agencies and local fire departments. The situation has left Matthews devastated, describing her emotions as a roller coaster of brokenness, anger, and emptiness.
If you have any information about Audrii’s whereabouts, please contact the Polk County Sheriff’s office at 936-327-6810 or submit an anonymous tip on their website.
