POLK COUNTY, Texas – A prayer service is being held Sunday for Audrii Cunningham, an 11-year-old girl from Livingston who’s been missing since Thursday.
Audrii disappeared Thursday morning, never making it on the school bus that morning. Her disappearance prompted an AMBER Alert and hundreds of volunteers poured into Livingston to help find her.
On Sunday morning, the VFW Post #8568 in Polk County is holding a prayer service for Audrii.
In a post on Facebook, the VFW said the service will happen at 12 p.m. at their facility in Livingston.
“Audrii loves the VFW and has spent many days making us laugh and learning to dance. Our hearts are breaking. We love you sweet girl,” the VFW posted on social media.
Audrii hasn’t been seen since Thursday morning.
In a press conference on Saturday, the Texas Department of Public Safety officially named Don Steven McDougal as the sole person of interest in the child’s disappearance.
UPDATE: Investigators have identified 42-year-old Don Steven McDougal (pictured) of Livingston as one of the persons of interest in the disappearance of Audrii Cunningham.
