Audrii Cunningham's Family Defends Friendship With Terrifying Murder Suspect

perezhilton.com:

Audrii Cunninham’s family is speaking out on their relationship with Don Steven McDougal in the wake of the little girl’s death.

As we’ve been following, the 11-year-old fifth grader was tragically found dead at the bottom of the Trinity River in Texas earlier this month.

Don, her neighbor and a friend of her father’s who had been living on the Cunningham’s property, was allegedly the last person to see her on the day she never showed up at school.

He quickly became investigators’ primary suspect, as he apparently would look after her sometimes… and when she was found in the river, her remains were tied to a heavy rock with a rope consistent with one identified by police in Don’s truck days prior during a traffic stop.
