Found Deceased 11-year-old Livingston, TX Girl - Audrii Cunningham - *ARREST* #2

[Niner]

Wondering when the official indictment is going to come? I see he has no court dates yet since arraignment on 2/21/24. And got an attorney on 3/2/24.

McDougal is in court this morning for his firearms charge.

Wednesday, April 17th:
*Hearing (@ 8:30am CT) - TX - Audrii Danielle Cunningham (11) missing 2/15/24 & last seen near her resident in the 100 block of Lakeside Drive in Livingston @ 7am. Was issued an Amber Alert. Audrii should have caught the school bus at her neighborhood bus stop, however, school officials reported to the Sheriff's Office that the school bus did not pick Audrri up, nor did she report to school. Don Steven McDougal is the man who supposedly dropped Audrii off at the bus stop. Now a POI (2/17/24). Audrii was found near the area around US-59 & the Trinity River Bridge on Feb. 20, 2024. - *Don Steven McDougal (42) arrested (2/16/24 -regarding assault charges), arraigned & charged (2/21/24) with capital murder (2/20/24), aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (on 2/16/24) & bond surrender-assault causing bodily injury (3/27/24). Held without bond (murder). $500K Surety Bond (assault). $3K Surety Bond (assault-surrender).

2/24/24 Update: McDougal's arraignment was on Wednesday, 2/21/24. There is body cam video that was made available on Friday, 2/23/24. McDougal was nude & wore only a blanket wrapped around his waist to be arraigned. The body-worn camera video by Polk County sheriff's deputies as they pulled McDougal out of his jail cell for an arraignment in front of the justice of the peace. McDougal's arraignment was on Wednesday, 2/21/24. In the two-minute-long video, the most striking element is that he is not wearing any clothing. During his arraignment, he stated he would hire his own attorney. “Your charge is capital murder. That's no bond," the justice of the peace says. The next step should be an official indictment after the case is presented to a grand jury.
3/2/24 Update: Chad Etheridge has been appointed to represent McDougal.
4/17/24 Update: McDougal due in court on 4/17/24 for his firearms charge.

I just wish she had gotten as much love in her life as she has from us, who never even met her.

Beautiful photo, haunting irony that the article is about the charges, which include kidnapping, and she's wearing a hoodie with a character from Spirited Away on it.
