Found Deceased AMBER Alert issued for 11-year-old Livingston, TX Girl - Audrii Cunningham

[Knox]

"I'm being told that they have possibly found her backpack in this area, but no signs of her," Audrii's mother, Cassie Matthews, said.

Audrii was last seen around 7 a.m. Thursday on Lakeside Drive, not far from the home she shares with her father.

Neighbors say they usually see her walking to the bus stop with a dog, but that doesn't appear to have happened Thursday.

"She was allegedly dropped off at her bus stop, and later, on we come to learn that she never even made it on the bus," Matthews said.

Ok so now I have some other questions and I really hate where this may land me.

This guy was a roommate? Audrii essentially lived with guy along with her father?

Was the father home when this guy left the house with Audrii or had he left for work or perhaps wasn’t home at all?

When was the last time anyone outside of family saw Audrii?

Lots of things rolling around in my head right now and a lot of it is pretty much all bad.

MOO

I think we’re all thinking the same thing… :/

This is one of those awful,awful cases.....<modsnip - not victim friendly>

Totally agree! We also are notified within 30 minutes of school starting, in VA. Waiting until the end of the day to tell parents their child never made it to school is unacceptable. Something needs to change in TX.

If you're in a district that averages 25% or more absenteeism on a given day (and there are schools in my area of the Midwest that do) that's going to be a challenge.

I am local. News on the scene, drones being flown. Yellow tape was posted a couple hours ago. Volunteers asked to stay away. Just law enforcement & local news on scene but pushed back somewhat.
Yellow tape means a body was probably found

Well despite what the Texas DPS Officer said in the pressor regarding POI's - Trinity County Sheriff lists a photo and name of a POI in this post - Log into Facebook

So there's that ...

Seriously? This is the 'caretaker' who dropped this beautiful vulnerable 4 ft 1 child off to school @ 7 am?

Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon... I wonder if this is related to Audrii or if there was an altercation of some sort

I think you're judging a book by its cover. Other than the Nazi Swastika, lengthy rap sheet, and now, violent felony charges, I'm sure he’s a wonderful guy that any parent would trust their child with.

assault was today. might he have resisted arrest or questioning and assaulted a cop? or was there a fight with Audrii's dad?

That's what I'm thinking

 

[whitelilac]

IF this creep harmed Audrii, I don't think he will do well with an interrogation. He doesn't look like a genius to me.

Certainly not, but he does have experience with the justice system, and these guys generally know to shut up. They may get burned once, but they typically learn from it.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Many many 11-year-olds walk to school alone, wait at bus stops alone, play outside alone. There has to come a time when parents can go to work, etc. and allow them the independence to do so.

Could it be they live in a rural enough area that the stop is too far to walk?

It doesn't sound like LE is confirming anything about this guy. Maybe he isn't a roommate and wasn't given permission to take her to the bus. As far as the Swastika tattoo-- How absolutely ignorant and offensive.
If he was a roommate, I do wonder how and why?

 

[QB2022]

How awful, this can only have one ending MOO. I hope she is found shortly.

 

[Jenny0101]

Yep. I usually try to stay positive in these situations, but I have a real bad feeling about this. That poor little girl.
