There may be a bump in the road in bringing Audrii Cunningham’s accused killer to justice…
Law enforcement may have a primary suspect in custody in the case of the murdered 11-year-old Texas girl, but a California lawyer thinks actually convicting him could be tricky. Audrii went missing earlier this month after not showing up at her bus stop or to school. Tragically, she was found dead at the bottom of a river tied to a rock — with a rope that resembled one identified in the car of her father’s neighbor Don Steven McDougal during a traffic stop days prior.
This guy is a real piece of work… He’s got a swastika tattoo and a criminal history, including a 2008 charge for enticing a minor. And for some reason, he was friends with Audrii’s dad and even lived on the Cunningham property in a trailer. And for some reason he was sometimes allowed to look after the child, like bringing her to her school bus stop… Yeah, we know.

According to police, he picked her up in his vehicle on her walk to the bus stop the morning she went missing — seems like pretty good evidence to us! But attorney Eric Anderson of Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae thinks it could be difficult to get the guy based on that evidence — given the context that he’s looked after her in the past. He told Newsweek on Thursday:
Don did, apparently, tell cops he visited Trinity River after Audrii went missing, which is where her body was found. And according to a criminal complaint, police used cell phone data and video footage to link him to three “locations of interest” the day she vanished — which he allegedly lied about.
Eric did make some good points, but at the end of the day
