- 3:22Speaker 2: Miss Matthews. Everyone's joining me is Cassie Matthews. This is
- 3:27Speaker 2: little Audrey Cunningham's mother. Audrey eleven years old when she
- 3:33Speaker 2: was killed. Audrey, when I look at her, Miss Cassie
- 3:39Speaker 2: is just so full of joy and life. I'm looking
- 3:44Speaker 2: at a picture of her now with a little white
- 3:46Speaker 2: T shirt on with the blue sun dress over it,
- 3:49Speaker 2: and now she's got on a little black T shirt
- 3:52Speaker 2: and looks like a little pocketbook strapped over her shoulder.
- 3:58Speaker 2: She's just so precious, looked so well taken care of.
- 4:03Speaker 2: How in the hay do you believe this happened, Miss Matthews.
- 4:08Speaker 5: I don't understand how it happened at all.
- 4:11Speaker 6: I don't understand how they put so much effort into
- 4:16Speaker 6: keeping her from me, but they couldn't put the same
- 4:20Speaker 6: effort into knowing the people that they had around her.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Miss Matthews. What happened when you discovered that Audrey was missing?
- 4:31Speaker 2: How did you find that out? Or did you know
- 4:35Speaker 2: that before you found out that she had been killed?
- 4:39Speaker 5: So it was Thursday evening. I'm going to say it
- 4:43Speaker 5: was like seven o'clock.
- 4:47Speaker 6: Tabitha herself had gone and contacted or went to the
- 4:52Speaker 6: home of my fiance's mother and was asking her if
- 4:58Speaker 6: she knew where we were, if we were there and
- 5:00Speaker 6: had said Audrey was missing. Now his mother instantly calls him,
- 5:04Speaker 6: of course, and she she she makes her get on
- 5:11Speaker 6: the phone with me, and she's telling me that she's
- 5:16Speaker 6: missing and asking me if I had seen her, And
- 5:19Speaker 6: of course I no, I haven't seen her. I honestly
- 5:23Speaker 6: wanted to ask her if it was a sick joke,
- 5:27Speaker 6: but I I didn't. And I'm used to a lot
- 5:29Speaker 6: of crazy things from that family. So so when she
- 5:39Speaker 6: said no, she's she's missing.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Did they call you immediately?
- 5:44Speaker 6: Of course, my fiance's mom called him instantly, and she
- 5:50Speaker 6: told him that I needed to be on the phone asap,
- 5:54Speaker 6: and then she put Tabitha on the phone and made
- 5:56Speaker 6: her talk to me.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Why didn't she want I mean, I would think she
- 6:00Speaker 2: would have called you first, had they been blocking you
- 6:03Speaker 2: seeing Audrey.
- 6:05Speaker 5: I haven't had any type of contact.
- 6:08Speaker 6: I had the last bit of contact that I had
- 6:11Speaker 6: with Josh where I was once again begging to see
- 6:15Speaker 6: my daughter in any way that made him or her comfortable.
- 6:18Speaker 6: Whatever I needed to do, I had to do that
- 6:20Speaker 6: through my fiance's messenger.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Why were they keeping you away from Audrey?
- 6:25Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 6:25Speaker 6: They said it was for her protection, but I still
- 6:29Speaker 6: don't understand.
- 6:30Speaker 2: So the grandma shows up your fiance's mom's place.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Looking for Audrey.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Then your fiance's mom has her call you, and.
- 6:42Speaker 4: What did she say?
- 6:43Speaker 6: She tells me that she's missing. She didn't make it
- 6:47Speaker 6: home off the bus. Asked me if I had seen her.
- 6:51Speaker 4: When they asked for is Audrey? What did you say?
- 6:53Speaker 6: I of course told them I haven't seen her, And
- 6:56Speaker 6: in my mind I wanted to snap and tell her,
- 7:00Speaker 6: of course I haven't seen her.
- 7:01Speaker 5: You and your son haven't let me see my daughter
- 7:04Speaker 5: in how long now?
- 7:05Speaker 6: But I didn't because I instantly wanted to know where
- 7:11Speaker 6: my daughter was.
- 7:11Speaker 5: That was the thing that took over.
- 7:14Speaker 2: He also asked the grandma, where is Stephen? And we
- 7:17Speaker 2: know that to be Stephen McDougall.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Why, yes, I did.
- 7:21Speaker 6: I had told her about him messaging me out of
- 7:24Speaker 6: the blue the night before and told her that he
- 7:26Speaker 6: had said to me that he was going to take
- 7:28Speaker 6: her to school that morning, and I asked her where
- 7:31Speaker 6: he was and had she seen him? And she went
- 7:34Speaker 6: from hysterical to stuttering, I.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Gotta go, you told me earlier. She went from calm
- 7:43Speaker 2: to hysterical.
- 7:44Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, she went from hysterical to stuttering,
- 7:49Speaker 6: and she had to go.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Oh.
- 7:51Speaker 2: As soon as she realized that Stephen McDougall yes had
- 7:55Speaker 2: been with Audrey, she had to go and hung up
- 7:57Speaker 2: with the fine It was.
- 7:58Speaker 5: Her stuttering the word.
- 8:00Speaker 6: She didn't have anything else to say other than I
- 8:02Speaker 6: got to go now. In the nine to one one call,
- 8:05Speaker 6: you can clearly hear him in the background.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Guys, we are speaking with Cassie Matthews. This is Audrey
- 8:10Speaker 2: Cunningham's mother. What happened after that? After she hangs up?
- 8:17Speaker 2: What do you do?
- 8:17Speaker 6: I'm about to melt down. I hit my knees, I prayed.
- 8:23Speaker 6: My fiance is sitting there trying to comfort me, but
- 8:26Speaker 6: I didn't even want him to touch me.
- 8:28Speaker 5: I didn't understand what was going on.
- 8:30Speaker 6: I'm pacing a rut in my house, just wondering where
- 8:36Speaker 6: she could be, where I could look, what I could do.
- 8:39Speaker 5: I'm waiting for the officers.
- 8:41Speaker 6: When officers finally showed up, they asked if they could
- 8:45Speaker 6: search my home, and of course I asked him if
- 8:47Speaker 6: I needed to step outside. Whatever made them more comfortable,
- 8:50Speaker 6: but I wanted them to go ahead and you know,
- 8:52Speaker 6: get that done and start looking for my baby.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Now.
- 8:57Speaker 6: I tried to ask a couple questions, and they just
- 9:01Speaker 6: kind of looked at each other after they searched and
- 9:02Speaker 6: were like, okay, it's all clear, let's move on, and
- 9:05Speaker 6: then left. Nobody really answered any questions for me for.
- 9:09Speaker 5: A long time.
- 9:10Speaker 2: What was the next thing that happened in your world?
- 9:13Speaker 6: Well, the next thing that happened was I am being
- 9:16Speaker 6: advised that it would probably be best well advised but
- 9:21Speaker 6: not advised, which makes no sense to me, but that
- 9:25Speaker 6: is what has been said.
- 9:27Speaker 5: That I should stay put in my own home.
- 9:30Speaker 6: And then shortly after that, I me and my fiance
- 9:34Speaker 6: and the roommate that we have at the time, we're
- 9:37Speaker 6: getting picked up by the Sheriff's office and you know, investigators.
- 9:44Speaker 6: We go and we spend I think it was almost
- 9:48Speaker 6: sixteen hours up there.
- 9:52Speaker 5: Now the entire time, I'm being.
- 9:56Speaker 6: Asked twenty million questions that I'm able to answer with
- 10:02Speaker 6: no problem. They keep trying to say to me, I
- 10:07Speaker 6: feel like there's something you're not telling us. I feel
- 10:09Speaker 6: like there's something you're not telling us. Well, Finally I
- 10:12Speaker 6: snapped for a second.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, who took you where the Sheriff's department?
- 10:18Speaker 6: And they had a few of the investigators with them.
- 10:21Speaker 6: They took us up to the Polk County.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department, time stories with Nancy Grace.
- 10:40Speaker 2: So you were there, your fiance was there, and your
- 10:43Speaker 2: roommate was there, and they were peppering you with questions,
- 10:47Speaker 2: really about where's Audrey?
- 10:50Speaker 4: When have you last seen her?
- 10:51Speaker 2: Did you take her, did you hide her? Questions of
- 10:54Speaker 2: that nature?
- 10:55Speaker 4: Correct?
- 10:55Speaker 6: And about the messages between Steve and I from the
- 10:58Speaker 6: night before.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Yes, Now that's very curious, Cassie, because I find those
- 11:04Speaker 2: text messages that McDougall sent you very very incriminating for him,
- 11:11Speaker 2: because he is playing on your emotions.
- 11:14Speaker 4: He knows how much you want to see Audrey.
- 11:18Speaker 2: And he's saying, I can get her to you come
- 11:22Speaker 2: meet me down by the river. So basically, Cassie, McDougall
- 11:27Speaker 2: is using your daughter as bait to lure you down
- 11:31Speaker 2: to the river where her body was later found. Why
- 11:38Speaker 2: was he doing that and claiming he was going to
- 11:40Speaker 2: keep it secret from her dad?
- 11:42Speaker 4: What was he what was his game?
- 11:45Speaker 5: Well, when he first approached me.
- 11:48Speaker 6: And see when I say approached me, it was all
- 11:51Speaker 6: through Facebook, Messeger. I've never had his number or anything
- 11:54Speaker 6: like that. But he had said that he was Audrey's babysitter,
- 11:59Speaker 6: which was instant red flag. I didn't understand. But he
- 12:04Speaker 6: had said that he wasn't going to pick parents sides,
- 12:07Speaker 6: that he was concerned about what Audrey wanted and how
- 12:12Speaker 6: she felt, and that he thought it was wrong for
- 12:15Speaker 6: her to be kept from me if she wanted to
- 12:18Speaker 6: know me. So he played on the fact that I
- 12:21Speaker 6: was desperate for anything. I wanted, pictures, I wanted, I
- 12:24Speaker 6: just anything that had.
- 12:26Speaker 5: To do with my daughter. And for a minute I
- 12:30Speaker 5: could have believed that.
- 12:33Speaker 6: But then I thought more into it, and I just
- 12:35Speaker 6: knew something was wrong, and I had been speaking to
- 12:38Speaker 6: my family about it. I've been telling my my fiance
- 12:40Speaker 6: told me from the jump not to associate with him
- 12:43Speaker 6: in any way, do not.
- 12:45Speaker 5: But he doesn't understand.
- 12:47Speaker 6: How I was feeling when I just I was craving
- 12:51Speaker 6: something something of my daughter.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Did you have any idea this freak was your daughter's babysitter.
- 13:00Speaker 6: Not until he had messaged me, and I had tried
- 13:03Speaker 6: to contact Josh wondering what the.
- 13:08Speaker 5: Is going on?
- 13:09Speaker 6: And I asked my family over and over again if
- 13:13Speaker 6: they could try to contact and they tried to get
- 13:17Speaker 6: no answer. I wanted to know why a man that
- 13:19Speaker 6: nobody knows is being left with my eleven year old daughter.
- 13:23Speaker 6: I mean, he could have chose anyone else under the
- 13:25Speaker 6: sun and it would have been okay. But when he
- 13:29Speaker 6: invited me down to go fishing to see my daughter, well,
- 13:33Speaker 6: for one, I knew better. But at this point, knowing
- 13:37Speaker 6: what I know now, I feel like he did something
- 13:40Speaker 6: to Audrey Wednesday before he even messaged me, and that
- 13:49Speaker 6: if I would have went, he would have gotten rid
- 13:53Speaker 6: of me as well, and then it would have been
- 13:55Speaker 6: chalked up to I kidnapped my daughter and I ran
- 13:57Speaker 6: with her, and people would have forever been looking for
- 14:00Speaker 6: two people that don't exist, not looking in a river.
- 14:04Speaker 3: Question, So you believe this was part of a bigger plan.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Why do you believe, Cassie he needed in his mind
- 14:15Speaker 2: to kill Audrey.
- 14:17Speaker 5: I don't understand that at all. Actually, I can.
- 14:22Speaker 6: Understand the little bit of hatred that he would have
- 14:25Speaker 6: for me, because I would be the only person that
- 14:28Speaker 6: could remove her from the home, you know where he
- 14:32Speaker 6: was already a residings.
- 14:35Speaker 5: I have no idea why he felt the need to Actually,
- 14:41Speaker 5: you know what, and this is oh my god, it
- 14:46Speaker 5: makes me sick to my stomach to say.
- 14:47Speaker 6: But I think that in a pedophile's mind, they see
- 14:52Speaker 6: a child and they see their actions as.
- 14:58Speaker 5: An adult would see another adult.
- 15:00Speaker 6: Okay, I feel like maybe he was in love with
- 15:03Speaker 6: my daughter and he thought that maybe at one point
- 15:06Speaker 6: she did say that he was her favorite person or
- 15:09Speaker 6: something like that, maybe he was good to her, but
- 15:12Speaker 6: she was looking at him as nothing other than an
- 15:15Speaker 6: uncle the way a child should, you know, if at most,
- 15:20Speaker 6: But what if he was in But what if he
- 15:21Speaker 6: was in love with my daughter? What if he tried
- 15:24Speaker 6: to make an advance on my daughter and he didn't
- 15:28Speaker 6: get the reaction that he wanted. He either snapped or
- 15:31Speaker 6: he knew that she would tell That is what I think.
- 15:34Speaker 4: Do you believe he had already molested her?
- 15:39Speaker 5: I don't. I don't know.
- 15:43Speaker 6: Do you know that I didn't find out that her
- 15:45Speaker 6: pants were on the bait until I watched your interview
- 15:49Speaker 6: with Tim Miller.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, Cassie, I didn't know either
- 15:56Speaker 2: until I was talking to Tim Miller.
- 15:59Speaker 4: And he told me live.
- 16:01Speaker 2: At that moment, I didn't know that either, and it
- 16:05Speaker 2: felt like a knife in my heart.
- 16:08Speaker 4: How did you I'm.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Really trying to hold it together.
- 16:12Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Cassie. I am so sorry.
- 16:15Speaker 5: I'm sick. I'm stick to my stomach. Guy, I don't understand, Cassie.
- 16:21Speaker 2: How did you learn that they had found Audrey?
- 16:25Speaker 5: A lady from the Sheriff's department and one of the
- 16:28Speaker 5: jailers I believe was sent to my home to tell
- 16:32Speaker 5: me and to sit with me until a family member
- 16:36Speaker 5: or some type of support. They weren't supposed to leave
- 16:39Speaker 5: me alone, and they didn't.
- 16:42Speaker 6: She was really good to me, But I just knew
- 16:45Speaker 6: in my stomach when my fiance come to the room,
- 16:47Speaker 6: because I hadn't gotten out of bed.
- 16:49Speaker 5: I was just stuck in my bed.
- 16:54Speaker 6: When he had come to me and said that there
- 16:56Speaker 6: was a lady from the Sheriff's apartment at the door
- 16:59Speaker 6: and that they they needed to speak with me, I knew.
- 17:02Speaker 4: I knew, you know what, Cassie. I don't know how
- 17:04Speaker 4: people know that.
- 17:06Speaker 2: But when I found out that I was supposed to
- 17:09Speaker 2: call my fiance sister, I knew.
- 17:11Speaker 4: I knew he was dead. I knew right then.
- 17:15Speaker 2: So when you hear there's a sheriff lady at the door,
- 17:18Speaker 2: you knew that Audrey was gone.
- 17:21Speaker 4: I knew.
- 17:22Speaker 6: My stomach dropped, my heart just everything to stop for
- 17:30Speaker 6: a minute, honestly, and I felt like I couldn't breathe
- 17:35Speaker 6: when she told me.
- 17:36Speaker 4: What did she say? Did she reveal anything?
- 17:40Speaker 6: No, she just she looked at me in my face,
- 17:44Speaker 6: asked me to sit down, and then she said, this
- 17:47Speaker 6: is not news that I want to be giving you
- 17:49Speaker 6: right now. And I just I started bawling, and she
- 17:54Speaker 6: she was like, yeah, you know, baby, you know, and
- 17:56Speaker 6: then she was right.
- 17:57Speaker 5: And honestly, I still don't know how to pro any
- 18:00Speaker 5: of this. If you want me to be nothing.
- 18:03Speaker 6: But truthful, I am in search for a therapist at
- 18:07Speaker 6: the moment because I have been a manic depressident with
- 18:12Speaker 6: extreme anxiety since I was fifteen years old. I am
- 18:14Speaker 6: so scared that this is going to be a depression
- 18:16Speaker 6: that I can't get myself out of.
- 18:18Speaker 5: I feel numb. I don't feel much of anything else
- 18:23Speaker 5: at all. I feel numb. I don't sleep, I don't
- 18:27Speaker 5: I just sit.
- 18:28Speaker 6: There and I watch videos and look at pictures and
- 18:32Speaker 6: I read all of these comments on the internet, and
- 18:35Speaker 6: that's all I could do. All I could do is
- 18:37Speaker 6: just put all of my thoughts into this. In general,
- 18:41Speaker 6: I can have someone sitting right next to me and
- 18:44Speaker 6: they're talking to me and I don't hear a word
- 18:46Speaker 6: that they say.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Because I'm Tessy. I'm going to hook you up with
- 18:49Speaker 2: a therapist. I've got somebody for you, a lady for
- 18:53Speaker 2: you to talk to, and I'll hook you up with
- 18:55Speaker 2: her in just a few moments. Cassie, did you have
- 19:02Speaker 2: any idea about McDougall's record.
- 19:10Speaker 4: Why was he.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Living in the back yard, Why did he have access
- 19:14Speaker 2: to the home?
- 19:16Speaker 4: So?
- 19:16Speaker 6: I had no idea until I made the Facebook post
- 19:22Speaker 6: and people started commenting. Because as much effort as put
- 19:27Speaker 6: into keeping me away, I figured they would put the
- 19:30Speaker 6: same type of effort into knowing the people that were around.
- 19:33Speaker 6: If I would have known that I needed to do
- 19:36Speaker 6: her father's job because he didn't give a shoe to
- 19:38Speaker 6: do it, I would have known.
- 19:41Speaker 5: But I knew. I knew from the jump.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Some people. I've got a question for you, Cassie. You
- 19:47Speaker 2: said that as soon as you told your fiance, he
- 19:51Speaker 2: wants to meet me down by the river, and he's
- 19:53Speaker 2: going to bring Audrey. Your fiance immediately said, do not
- 19:57Speaker 2: talk to this guy, stay away from him. Did your
- 20:00Speaker 2: fiance did everybody.
- 20:02Speaker 4: Know this guy was bad news? Why would he say that.
- 20:05Speaker 6: He did not like the fact that he was like
- 20:09Speaker 6: persistent on trying to get me alone. He said that
- 20:13Speaker 6: he had a bad feeling about him and that there's
- 20:19Speaker 6: just something wasn't right. And my fiance is an excellent
- 20:22Speaker 6: judge of character. Who really is was right?
- 20:25Speaker 4: Question to you?
- 20:27Speaker 2: Did you discover that McDougall was actually going door to
- 20:31Speaker 2: door like he was looking for Audrey.
- 20:34Speaker 5: That that's the part right there that.
- 20:39Speaker 6: Just infuriates me to the point where I could put
- 20:43Speaker 6: my hands around his throat and squeeze and not stop.
- 20:47Speaker 6: How do you know, damn good and well which you
- 20:51Speaker 6: did to my daughter? And then and then you search
- 20:54Speaker 6: for her like you care. You don't care.
- 21:00Speaker 5: You killed my daughter, and then you want to and
- 21:03Speaker 5: then you want to search.
- 21:04Speaker 2: For when you found out that Audrey was missing, it's
- 21:08Speaker 2: sick and mcdoogal.
- 21:09Speaker 4: Rights he was taking her to the bus.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Did you ever text him or call him and say
- 21:15Speaker 2: where's Audrey?
- 21:16Speaker 6: He messaged me actually and he said, hey, have you
- 21:20Speaker 6: seen Audrey. She didn't make it home off the bus,
- 21:25Speaker 6: and I said, where the is my kid, Stephen?
- 21:30Speaker 5: Because I just I knew.
- 21:31Speaker 4: He was trying to cover his tracks.
- 21:33Speaker 3: I wonder if he was trying in some way to
- 21:36Speaker 3: set you up.
- 21:37Speaker 2: I can't figure it out, but I guarantee you this,
- 21:40Speaker 2: Miss Matthews, I will figure it out.
- 21:42Speaker 5: You're not the first person to say that.
- 21:44Speaker 2: And I want you to know not only are we
- 21:46Speaker 2: praying and thinking about you, we're not letting go of
- 21:51Speaker 2: this until this guy gets a Texas death penalty.
- 21:57Speaker 4: I know you don't care if he gets a death penalty.
- 22:01Speaker 4: Other people do.
- 22:02Speaker 6: I actually don't want him to receive the death penalty,
- 22:06Speaker 6: only because.
- 22:10Speaker 5: I am not God.
- 22:11Speaker 6: It is not my place to, you know, judge when
- 22:14Speaker 6: somebody else's life ends, and that to me, is an
- 22:19Speaker 6: easy way out for him. I have to live with
- 22:21Speaker 6: the fact for the rest of my life that I
- 22:23Speaker 6: will never see my daughter again, the things that happen
- 22:26Speaker 6: to my daughter, and I feel like he should get
- 22:28Speaker 6: life without parole, so he has to deal with all
- 22:31Speaker 6: of the repercussions every single day for the rest of
- 22:33Speaker 6: his life just as well.
- 22:35Speaker 4: Do you think he cares?
- 22:37Speaker 2: Do you think mcdoogal will in jail a sorry and
- 22:42Speaker 2: let me say something, he can get right with God
- 22:46Speaker 2: on his way to hell.
- 22:48Speaker 6: No, I never expect him at all to even have
- 22:52Speaker 6: any type of remorse because you could see it in
- 22:55Speaker 6: his face the type of monster he is and the
- 22:57Speaker 6: things that he did to my daughter. But the other
- 23:00Speaker 6: people that he will have around him, well, damn sure
- 23:05Speaker 6: make sure that he does not enjoy a single minute
- 23:07Speaker 6: of it.
- 23:07Speaker 4: Miss Matthews.
- 23:09Speaker 2: I want you to try, and I know these are
- 23:12Speaker 2: just words that don't mean anything. You've got to stay
- 23:16Speaker 2: strong because you've got to make sure there is justice
- 23:19Speaker 2: for Audrey. You have got to stay strong, don't fall
- 23:23Speaker 2: into that depression and spiral down to where you can't
- 23:26Speaker 2: get out.
- 23:26Speaker 4: You've got to be her.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Mom now and stay strong and be her voice because
- 23:31Speaker 2: nobody else has been her voice, and now it's on you, Cassie.
- 23:35Speaker 4: You got to be her voice and you can do that.
- 23:38Speaker 6: I failed my daughter once by being bullied into submission
- 23:41Speaker 6: and being made to believe that she was in a
- 23:43Speaker 6: good home.
- 23:43Speaker 5: But I will not fill my daughter again. Nancy. That's
- 23:47Speaker 5: everybody thinks that I don't care that I'm I'm shrugging it. Off.
- 23:50Speaker 6: Oh she's not crying, She's not this, she's not that. No,
- 23:53Speaker 6: I break down in my home where I'm comfortable. My
- 23:57Speaker 6: grieving is not everyone's business. But what is everyone's business
- 24:01Speaker 6: is the fact that this isn't over and things need
- 24:04Speaker 6: to be done concerning my daughter. So if I got
- 24:07Speaker 6: to keep a straight face and I gotta I gotta
- 24:11Speaker 6: look heartless for it, well so be it. But if
- 24:14Speaker 6: I'm sitting there breaking down, I'm not getting a damn
- 24:16Speaker 6: thing done.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Who cares what they think. All that matters now is
- 24:20Speaker 2: what God thinks and getting justice.
- 24:24Speaker 4: That's all that matters right now. Yes, ma'am Cassie, thank
- 24:27Speaker 4: you for being with us.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Now, joining me an all star panel to make sense
- 24:33Speaker 2: of what we know right now. But before we get
- 24:36Speaker 2: going with them, you've got to hear.
- 24:38Speaker 4: It from the horse's mouth.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Take a listen to McDougall as they're trying to get
- 24:46Speaker 2: him to put his pants on to appear before the
- 24:50Speaker 2: justice and the peace of the judge.
- 24:52Speaker 8: Come on, JP.
- 24:54Speaker 4: Wants to talk to you. Where's your total We'll put
- 24:59Speaker 4: your smile from that. Come on out here.
- 25:03Speaker 9: No, no, no, man, come on, man, don't disrespect me
- 25:06Speaker 9: like well, wrap up.
- 25:08Speaker 2: In that.
- 25:11Speaker 10: Come on, you have vitor nine silent, not make any
- 25:14Speaker 10: statement at all, and don't have any statement that you
- 25:16Speaker 10: may again, we'll be used against.
- 25:17Speaker 7: You a trial in court.
- 25:18Speaker 10: You have the right town attorney, present advisor which advised
- 25:21Speaker 10: you hior to question.
- 25:23Speaker 2: You are hearing Stephen McDougall behind bars refusing.
- 25:28Speaker 4: To put on any pants. What a stubborn jackass.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Now, doctor Bethany Marshall, You're the shrink, not me, Bethany Marshall.
- 25:37Speaker 2: High profile psychoanalysts joining us out of l A at
- 25:42Speaker 2: Dr Bethany Marshall dot com. Doctor Bethany, I mean my
- 25:47Speaker 2: diagnosis is his jackass?
- 25:50Speaker 4: What's yours?
- 25:51Speaker 7: Well?
- 25:51Speaker 4: I thought two things.
- 25:52Speaker 11: One, well, the officers has said he was being disrespectful,
- 25:57Speaker 11: but I was wondering if he was lingering a psychiatric illness,
- 26:01Speaker 11: like acting crazy to get.
- 26:03Speaker 12: A more lenient sentence.
- 26:04Speaker 4: The other thing I wondered was.
- 26:05Speaker 12: Did he have an erection? And the reason I wonder
- 26:08Speaker 12: that is he's already a child molester allegedly, is he
- 26:12Speaker 12: also an exhibitionist? Because all these perversions tend to go
- 26:15Speaker 12: hand in hand. So I don't know if the officer
- 26:18Speaker 12: is allowed to stay. But that was one of my first.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Questions, Can I ask you something, doctor Bethany, How is
- 26:23Speaker 2: put on your clothes? How is that some kind of
- 26:26Speaker 2: stimulant to give him an erection? If anything, I think
- 26:30Speaker 2: my diagnosis is much better than yours, Doctor Bethany.
- 26:33Speaker 5: What is yours?
- 26:34Speaker 2: He's a track ass, I mean, you know, and there's
- 26:37Speaker 2: more to it than just that. Lana Shadwick joining me,
- 26:40Speaker 2: high profile lawyer out of this jurisdiction where Audrey was murdered,
- 26:46Speaker 2: where I believe this little eleven year old girl was molested.
- 26:52Speaker 2: What does that mean again, I'm the one putting the
- 26:55Speaker 2: perfume on the pig. It means she was either raped
- 26:58Speaker 2: or sodomized or both. This girl, this little girl is
- 27:05Speaker 2: dead from blunt force trauma, and I believe.
- 27:10Speaker 4: She was molested before she was killed.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Lana Shadwick joining me, former judge and prosecutor in this
- 27:16Speaker 2: in this jurisdiction, now legal analyst for Breitbart.
- 27:20Speaker 4: You can find her Atlantashadwick dot com Lanta.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Really, he wouldn't put on his clothes, and you know
- 27:27Speaker 2: a lot of people would say, oh, that's wrong to
- 27:30Speaker 2: make him appear wearing a blanket.
- 27:32Speaker 7: B s.
- 27:33Speaker 4: That's his decision. If he wants to show his rear
- 27:37Speaker 4: end that way, then he can.
- 27:39Speaker 2: The constitution doesn't protect him from his own personality, No
- 27:44Speaker 2: it doesn't.
- 27:45Speaker 4: And he's a psychopath.
- 27:46Speaker 7: I mean, anyone who could number one go the next
- 27:52Speaker 7: morning and be at a donut shop right across from
- 27:56Speaker 7: the courthouse. The judges can see you out the windows.
- 28:00Speaker 4: How delusional are you?
- 28:03Speaker 2: Go house?
- 28:05Speaker 7: The house, you know, and where's where's Audrey? Where's Audrey?
- 28:10Speaker 7: Clearly the sign of a psychopath. A psychopath that murders,
- 28:16Speaker 7: that blors people in there's social media accounts that says,
- 28:24Speaker 7: you appear to be a nice guy at times, but
- 28:28Speaker 7: he's a psychopath.
- 28:30Speaker 12: But Nancy, he's also a very attention getting psychopath.
- 28:34Speaker 13: He loves the attention, you know, going to the donut shop,
- 28:37Speaker 13: going to help the house.
- 28:38Speaker 12: Of course he's trying to draw attention away from him.
- 28:41Speaker 13: But on the other hand, you use the term jack House,
- 28:43Speaker 13: and I would say histrionic jack House, and that means
- 28:45Speaker 13: somebody who just loves being in the limelight and loves
- 28:49Speaker 13: getting the attention. And who's he trying to get attention
- 28:52Speaker 13: from little kids? I mean, that is one's so alarming
- 28:55Speaker 13: and frightening and disturbing about all of this histrionic.
- 28:58Speaker 2: You know, it reminds me of a little old lady
- 29:00Speaker 2: that lived in my hometown, rural bib County, in the
- 29:03Speaker 2: middle of Georgia, on a red dirt road.
- 29:05Speaker 4: No matter whose.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Funeral it was, she would wait till right before.
- 29:09Speaker 2: The family came in and walked down the aisle being
- 29:12Speaker 2: assisted on both sides and carried up front. And somehow
- 29:16Speaker 2: every funeral and every wedding was about her. That's how
- 29:20Speaker 2: I define histrionic.
- 29:22Speaker 4: It's just over the top drama and it's all about you. Yeah,
- 29:27Speaker 4: I can see that, but I'm still sticking with jackass.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Chris McDonough joining me, Director Cole Case Foundation, former homicide detective,
- 29:35Speaker 2: over three hundred homicides under his belt that he's investigated,
- 29:39Speaker 2: a work toom. I found him in the interview room
- 29:43Speaker 2: that's his YouTube channel during the Coburger trial, I mean
- 29:47Speaker 2: the Coburger investigation, Chris McDonough.
- 29:50Speaker 4: When you get a defendant like that, Chris, I had.
- 29:53Speaker 2: A guy, a drug lord. He had very violent and
- 30:00Speaker 2: the Constitution doesn't protect.
- 30:02Speaker 4: You from yourself. Guess what he wore to court?
- 30:04Speaker 2: He wore red bright fire engine red leather pants and
- 30:10Speaker 2: a bright fire engine red leather barmber jacket, tons of
- 30:15Speaker 2: gold chains. And guess what the witness said about the
- 30:21Speaker 2: park that was selling dope that night. He had on
- 30:24Speaker 2: a red leather jacket and red leather pants. I was
- 30:27Speaker 2: so happy the constitution did not protect him from his
- 30:31Speaker 2: own personality. Same thing here McDonough. God won't even get
- 30:36Speaker 2: dressed to seat go in front of the judge. They
- 30:38Speaker 2: have to force him to put on a blanket to
- 30:40Speaker 2: cover up his penis and his naked rear. End.
- 30:43Speaker 14: It's just another slap in the face to the system
- 30:46Speaker 14: as a whole. On this guy always felt that he
- 30:48Speaker 14: was above the system. Look how he played the cops.
- 30:51Speaker 14: Just in that clip Nancy, out by the subway, he's
- 30:54Speaker 14: just leaning against the car, you know, like he's having
- 30:56Speaker 14: an everyday chut chat.
- 30:58Speaker 2: I want to see that, Liz, if you could put
- 31:00Speaker 2: that up and you also have video lists from the
- 31:04Speaker 2: other side, and I can see him just you.
- 31:07Speaker 4: Know, rare it all propped up on the back of
- 31:09Speaker 4: that car. Yep, that's it, and I can see it.
- 31:13Speaker 4: He's moving, but he's just casually kicked back.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Chris McDonald's right, he's not worried why nobody's going to
- 31:21Speaker 2: testify against him because the victim is dead. He knows that,
- 31:26Speaker 2: and here he is refusing to come into court and
- 31:28Speaker 2: with clothes on. Guys, take a listen to the judge
- 31:32Speaker 2: speaking to McDougall.
- 31:34Speaker 10: You're righting jermy interviewed at anytime you have the right
- 31:37Speaker 10: Jens and and driver Orcus of Abel, do you entertain
- 31:40Speaker 10: to right them?
- 31:42Speaker 2: So?
- 31:42Speaker 7: Do you want to report the attorney.
- 31:43Speaker 5: You're gonna hire your o?
- 31:45Speaker 4: Which one.
- 31:47Speaker 7: You're gonna hire your own?
- 31:48Speaker 12: Listens?
- 31:51Speaker 5: All right, I need some friend here for me your
- 31:54Speaker 5: charges capital murder, and it's an obn.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Okay.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Joining me right now is Bob Price, and Bob is
- 32:02Speaker 2: associate editor c your news contributor, Bright Bart.
- 32:05Speaker 4: Bob, thank you for being with us. I love this judge.
- 32:09Speaker 2: First of all, I also want to thank kat RK
- 32:12Speaker 2: for getting that video because I can tell you about.
- 32:16Speaker 4: It till I'm blue in the face.
- 32:17Speaker 2: But a picture speaks a million words, a video two million,
- 32:22Speaker 2: So thanks kat RK. Bob Price, I love this judge.
- 32:26Speaker 2: She's like, here's a guy covered in tattoos.
- 32:30Speaker 4: I'm about to be arraigned in the murder, and I.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Believe we're going to see six charges as well.
- 32:34Speaker 2: I'm an eleven year old girl. He's butt naked. They
- 32:39Speaker 2: forced him to use a blanket. She just keeps right
- 32:41Speaker 2: on reading his rights. She doesn't care, doesn't blink, and
- 32:45Speaker 2: I love her.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Nancy.
- 32:46Speaker 8: I was told that he actually dropped the blanket in
- 32:49Speaker 8: front of the judge as well. You know, it's clearly
- 32:53Speaker 8: he's reaching for attention. And this is one despicable human being.
- 32:56Speaker 8: And I'm using the term human being very loosely here.
- 33:01Speaker 8: He's an animal. And you can tell by not only
- 33:03Speaker 8: what he did to Audrey Cunningham, but other people throughout
- 33:07Speaker 8: his life. Was he pled guilty to a charge in
- 33:10Speaker 8: Montgomery County, just fifty miles away from here in December,
- 33:15Speaker 8: and had he been sentenced on that case, he would
- 33:18Speaker 8: have been in jail and not been able to take
- 33:21Speaker 8: this action against Audrey. And then we had other cases.
- 33:24Speaker 8: There's so many times this seemingly irrelevant string of events
- 33:28Speaker 8: that all came together leading to Audrey's murder, where one
- 33:33Speaker 8: single action could have changed the course of Audrey's life
- 33:36Speaker 8: and saved her life. And yet time and time and
- 33:39Speaker 8: time again, Stephen McDougall was given another chance. The father
- 33:45Speaker 8: said he wanted to give him another chance. He committed
- 33:48Speaker 8: at least three assaults that I know of in the
- 33:51Speaker 8: last quarter of the last year. I don't know what
- 33:55Speaker 8: second chance this guy thinks he deserves, or what anybody
- 33:58Speaker 8: else around him thinks he deserves. He's the law enforcement
- 34:02Speaker 8: sources inside the jail say that he is clearly a psychopath,
- 34:06Speaker 8: but they said he's also very competent to stand trial.
- 34:10Speaker 2: And I'm going to circle back with doctor Bethany Marshall
- 34:13Speaker 2: the fact that psychopathy does not mean you are legally insane.
- 34:18Speaker 2: That's like saying Ted Bundy was a psychopath. That did
- 34:22Speaker 2: not mean he was insane and shouldn't go to trial.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Guys also with me is a renowned death investigator, professor
- 34:29Speaker 2: forensics at Jacksonville State University, and author of Blood.
- 34:33Speaker 4: Beneath My Feet on Amazon.
- 34:34Speaker 2: He's also the star of a hit podcast series, Body
- 34:39Speaker 2: Bags with Joe Scott Morgan. Joe Scott, I want to
- 34:42Speaker 2: have a little reality check while we're kicking around this guy. Oh,
- 34:47Speaker 2: that actually drops his blanket. Bob Price joining us from
- 34:51Speaker 2: Breitbart just said a reporter reported that the he drops
- 34:56Speaker 2: the blanket so the judge can see all of his
- 34:59Speaker 2: gentle and rear end. You know what, it's almost laughable,
- 35:04Speaker 2: and we can kick her around.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Oh he's a jackass, but you know what, he's a killer,
- 35:09Speaker 4: That's what he is. And I don't want to.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Make light of him. I want the world to know
- 35:15Speaker 2: what happened to Audrey and Joe Scott. You've been in
- 35:19Speaker 2: front of many a jury, as have I. I've seen
- 35:22Speaker 2: them WinCE when I describe what happened. I've seen them
- 35:26Speaker 2: literally turn their face away from a witness on the
- 35:30Speaker 2: standar witness like you from the Medical Examiner's office. But
- 35:35Speaker 2: you can't turn away from the truth and excuse this guy.
- 35:37Speaker 4: For just being a rear end.
- 35:41Speaker 15: Tell me what happened to this eleven year old girl, Nancy.
- 35:48Speaker 15: He put his hands on her, he beat her, he
- 35:52Speaker 15: probably choked her. And then then at the end of
- 35:57Speaker 15: all of this, he ties this rock to this ruscious
- 36:00Speaker 15: little angel's body Visa VI another rope that he had
- 36:04Speaker 15: weighted her down in the Trinity River and left her there.
- 36:08Speaker 15: And she's literally oscillating in the water. Her body is
- 36:12Speaker 15: spinning around and around and around and around, and he
- 36:16Speaker 15: drives off and disregards her. And let me tell you
- 36:19Speaker 15: one more thing if you like that one. We're coming
- 36:22Speaker 15: off of the heels of Adam Montgomery's trial up in
- 36:26Speaker 15: New Hampshire. Relative to that precious angel, Harmony Montgomery, I
- 36:30Speaker 15: see a lot of similarities here because you know Adam Montgomery,
- 36:34Speaker 15: he couldn't even show his face in court to stand
- 36:37Speaker 15: to stand before the court to answer for what he
- 36:40Speaker 15: did up there. This is the same pattern they can abuse.
- 36:44Speaker 15: They can treat young children like this and then they
- 36:48Speaker 15: don't expect that there is going to be any hell
- 36:50Speaker 15: to pay. And let me tell you something, Hell's coming
- 36:52Speaker 15: with this guy, just like it did with Adam Montgomery,
- 36:56Speaker 15: because he literally, he literally carried that little girl around
- 37:00Speaker 15: from place to place to place, treated her like garbage.
- 37:04Speaker 9: And that's what this animal has done with this precious baby.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Time Stories with Nancy Grace, Alana Shadwick joining me and
- 37:27Speaker 2: everybody on the panel please jump in.
- 37:29Speaker 4: You're the brain trust.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Lana reminding me again of where I grew up in
- 37:37Speaker 2: rural bed County, not even inside the city.
- 37:41Speaker 4: As her body was being.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Taken to the funeral home, the community came out and
- 37:51Speaker 2: lined the streets. That's what we would do when I
- 37:54Speaker 2: was growing up in a funeral procession would go by,
- 37:59Speaker 2: and of course, if you're in your car, you pull
- 38:01Speaker 2: over and turn.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Your lights on and turn your car off to stop
- 38:08Speaker 4: the world just for a moment.
- 38:11Speaker 2: And when I think of everybody lined up along the
- 38:14Speaker 2: sides of the street as her body went by, it
- 38:17Speaker 2: just breaks my heart. Landa.
- 38:19Speaker 7: And this was that scene that you're seeing. Right there
- 38:22Speaker 7: is the donut shop. So he stood in front of
- 38:26Speaker 7: that donut shop nonchalantly like I can handle this, I
- 38:31Speaker 7: can fool everybody whatever. And then this is where her
- 38:35Speaker 7: body is brought back. It's right across from the courthouse.
- 38:40Speaker 4: It's just.
- 38:43Speaker 7: It was devastating for the community, and the streets were
- 38:46Speaker 7: lined people are just the heaviness, the sadness, the grief
- 38:53Speaker 7: that surrounds the entire community. This is only there's only
- 38:58Speaker 7: five thousand and six hundred people in Livingston, Texas. There's
- 39:03Speaker 7: fifty two thousand and.
- 39:04Speaker 4: Paul Kelney, the social media in the public.
- 39:10Speaker 7: Backlash, I mean, it's just been in the grief. It's
- 39:14Speaker 7: just been amazing.
- 39:16Speaker 12: There's another irony in all of this.
- 39:19Speaker 13: Just like he showed his private parts to that little girl,
- 39:22Speaker 13: he wanted to show his private parts to the judge too.
- 39:26Speaker 7: So He does the same thing everywhere.
- 39:28Speaker 13: Just like he stood nonchalantly in the donut shops so
- 39:32Speaker 13: that the judges could see him across the street. He
- 39:35Speaker 13: was a very nonchalant about molesting and killing this poor angel.
- 39:40Speaker 7: As we've been calling her.
- 39:42Speaker 13: And so this guy is consistent in all of his patterns.
- 39:46Speaker 13: He's hysterical, he's history onic. He is a psychopath. And
- 39:50Speaker 13: you asked earlier about that. A psychopath is not a
- 39:52Speaker 13: psychiatric illness. He's not crazy. It's a personality disorder. And
- 39:58Speaker 13: this personality disorder lacks a con loves to kill.
- 40:02Speaker 5: Loves to inflict cruelty.
- 40:04Speaker 13: They're very sadistic because that's how they get sexually excited,
- 40:08Speaker 13: and that is the mo for this crime. And you
- 40:10Speaker 13: know what, he's excited by all this attention as well.
- 40:14Speaker 13: And that's the sick part of this upcoming trial is
- 40:17Speaker 13: he'll get off on it, Nancy, just like he gone
- 40:19Speaker 13: off on killing a child.
- 40:21Speaker 4: You think I care what he does behind bars? Have
- 40:23Speaker 4: at it, you know.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Bob Price joining me from bright bart Texas. Bob, I
- 40:28Speaker 2: am now hearing. Of course we've heard from Cassie Matthews,
- 40:32Speaker 2: who is Audrey's mother, But I'm now hearing the other
- 40:37Speaker 2: side of the family, the grandma, the grandpa, the dad,
- 40:42Speaker 2: the bio dad who let this guy live in the
- 40:45Speaker 2: backyard in a camper and have full access to their
- 40:50Speaker 2: home when the little girl was there. I mean, I
- 40:54Speaker 2: don't let people just wander into our home when the
- 40:56Speaker 2: twins are there. Oh ATBLN, I don't know you uh uh,
- 41:02Speaker 2: You're not going to have traps something like a parade
- 41:04Speaker 2: in New Orleans on Marty Grond No, that's not happening.
- 41:07Speaker 4: But now wait for it. They're actually saying that the
- 41:12Speaker 4: system failed them, Bob Price.
- 41:17Speaker 2: The system failed them because they did a background check
- 41:20Speaker 2: and they didn't know he was a sex offender.
- 41:22Speaker 7: B s.
- 41:23Speaker 2: They're saying they didn't know he wasn't on the sex
- 41:26Speaker 2: offender registry. That's BS because isn't it true by Price
- 41:30Speaker 2: that he got a two year sentence for when he
- 41:34Speaker 2: got to bed with that little girl. He was charged
- 41:37Speaker 2: with enticing a minor and more, he got a two
- 41:41Speaker 2: year sentence. That's not a misdemeanor. If it's a two
- 41:43Speaker 2: year sentence, that would be a felony, which would have
- 41:45Speaker 2: showed up on his record.
- 41:47Speaker 8: Yes, no, Joshua Cunningham, it's you, they'll let your daughter down.
- 41:51Speaker 5: It's not.
- 41:51Speaker 8: The system certainly did let her down as well, But
- 41:54Speaker 8: it took me about thirty minutes of doing some Google
- 41:57Speaker 8: researches online to find out not only had this guy
- 42:00Speaker 8: crawled into bed with another ten year old girl, and
- 42:04Speaker 8: pedophiles have a range, they have a range of age,
- 42:08Speaker 8: very tight bracket they're attracted to. And this little girl
- 42:13Speaker 8: and Audrey were basically the same age, within a few
- 42:16Speaker 8: months of each other at the time of their attack.
- 42:19Speaker 8: And not just this crime against this little girl, but
- 42:25Speaker 8: dozens of crimes from two thousand and one till two
- 42:30Speaker 8: months before Audrey was murdered. He was being charged, arrested,
- 42:34Speaker 8: convicted of crimes, violent crimes, and had no business being
- 42:39Speaker 8: around any child, let alone this little eleven year old angel.
- 42:43Speaker 8: It's pathetic that these parents, this grandmother and father, would
- 42:48Speaker 8: allow this animal around their daughter. I wouldn't let him
- 42:52Speaker 8: within thirty to six range of my daughter or grandchildren.
- 42:55Speaker 2: And now the hypocrisy of say, oh, the system let
- 43:01Speaker 2: her down. It's the system's fault because he wasn't a
- 43:05Speaker 2: registered sex offender. Yeah, well, you know what, that was
- 43:08Speaker 2: the prosecutor's fault for not pushing that and making that
- 43:12Speaker 2: part of his plea deal, which it was such a
- 43:15Speaker 2: sweet plea deal it makes me seek to my stomach.
- 43:17Speaker 2: He didn't even have to say I'm guilty. He got
- 43:19Speaker 2: to say no lo contenderate and he didn't even contest it.
- 43:23Speaker 2: He took his sentence, and I believe that sentence Atlanta
- 43:26Speaker 2: Shadwick was two years, which means it was a felony,
- 43:30Speaker 2: which means you heard Bob Price say, all you had
- 43:32Speaker 2: to do was google him. For Pete's sake, you don't
- 43:34Speaker 2: have to go get a wrap sheet and pay twenty
- 43:38Speaker 2: five dollars for it.
- 43:38Speaker 4: You can look it up on Google. For Pete's sake.
- 43:41Speaker 4: They knew he had a record.
- 43:43Speaker 7: He had a possession of a dangerous drug Liberty County
- 43:47Speaker 7: two thousand and three, two thousand and six, another possession
- 43:51Speaker 7: in two thousand and six assault on a public servant,
- 43:56Speaker 7: which is exactly what the Arian brotherhood.
- 44:00Speaker 4: They have to assault a public servant or a correctional.
- 44:04Speaker 5: Officer in order to be part of a game.
- 44:08Speaker 4: He was convicted of that assault on a public service
- 44:11Speaker 4: servant and.
- 44:12Speaker 7: Serve time and then the enticing of a child out
- 44:16Speaker 7: of Brissouria County, in two thousand and eight, twenty and
- 44:20Speaker 7: ten aggravated assault with a deadly weapon to twenty fourteen
- 44:26Speaker 7: reckless driving, and then another aggravated assault in twenty nineteen
- 44:31Speaker 7: and another thumbder the nose to law enforcement in twenty
- 44:34Speaker 7: twenty three when he was convicted of resisting rest. This
- 44:39Speaker 7: man is a man of violence.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Well, how could they now claim it's a system's fault.
- 44:45Speaker 2: You can find all that on a Google search. You
- 44:47Speaker 2: don't have to go into official court records. And what
- 44:50Speaker 2: I'm trying to say, why I keep talking about the
- 44:52Speaker 2: sentence was two years and more because a misdemeanor which
- 44:56Speaker 2: would not show up as a felony conviction is twelve
- 44:59Speaker 2: months or less. When you have two years or more,
- 45:02Speaker 2: that means you've been convicted on a felony which absolutely
- 45:07Speaker 2: would have shown up. So I don't understand why now
- 45:11Speaker 2: they're claiming like the system failed. Just Scott, I want
- 45:15Speaker 2: to circle back to the evidence really quickly.
- 45:19Speaker 4: I want to figure out hold on my price. Do
- 45:23Speaker 4: we know yet what the formal charges are going to be?
- 45:26Speaker 9: Right now?
- 45:27Speaker 8: It's a capital murder charge, Plus he has the outstanding
- 45:30Speaker 8: charge for aggravated assault causing serious moodily injury to David.
- 45:37Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I forgot David's last name. Who he assaulted
- 45:39Speaker 8: in August last year? David, Yes, sorry. You know, so
- 45:46Speaker 8: he committed at least three assaults in the last quarter
- 45:50Speaker 8: or the last six months of.
- 45:51Speaker 4: But we know that right now he's going to be
- 45:53Speaker 4: charged with capital murder.
- 45:55Speaker 2: You know, I'm waiting to find out if there are
- 45:58Speaker 2: going to be sex charges that he performed against this
- 46:03Speaker 2: little girl. Joe Scott Morgan back to you, death investigator,
- 46:08Speaker 2: What is a hold up? How quickly upon a rape
- 46:12Speaker 2: kit exam, which is an examination of the rectum and
- 46:16Speaker 2: the vagina and all surrounding areas, in fact, the whole body,
- 46:20Speaker 2: even though she had been in water.
- 46:23Speaker 4: How long is that going to take?
- 46:25Speaker 2: And if sperm DNA is found, then we got to
- 46:29Speaker 2: make a DNA comparison.
- 46:31Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, we do.
- 46:32Speaker 9: And they listen, they've got him. He's a known so
- 46:36Speaker 9: they'll do the Buckla mc coastal swath on him, scraping,
- 46:39Speaker 9: so they'll they have that in a static position, I.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Mean the mouth, Yeah, and they just reach in your
- 46:45Speaker 2: mouth with something that looks like a que tip and
- 46:48Speaker 2: gets saliva and sells from the inside of your jaw.
- 46:52Speaker 4: Don't like a COVID test, Go ahead.
- 46:55Speaker 9: Yeah, And so he's a known so they can compare
- 46:58Speaker 9: that what they have to what It's going to be
- 47:00Speaker 9: key here though, Nancy, And keep in mind, this little
- 47:04Speaker 9: angel was in a water environment, and it sounds as
- 47:08Speaker 9: though that she's at least partially unclothed. Remember they found
- 47:12Speaker 9: her clothing on the river bank here, which is significant.
- 47:16Speaker 9: So any area her vagina, her rectum, her mouth, it
- 47:21Speaker 9: could be all flushed out. Here's my key what I'm
- 47:24Speaker 9: thinking about. She's very young, Nancy, and I would there
- 47:29Speaker 9: may be a chance that if she was assaulted through
- 47:32Speaker 9: this rape, that there would be evidence of vaginal trauma,
- 47:36Speaker 9: antal trauma, whatever the case might be. And of course
- 47:39Speaker 9: that's going to fall to the forensic pathology. Yeah, yeah,
- 47:42Speaker 9: torn skin. And one more thing I got to point
- 47:45Speaker 9: out here. This guy is so comfortable right now, Nancy.
- 47:48Speaker 9: He's very comfortable the way he's behaving. One of the
- 47:50Speaker 9: things that's really piqued my interest in this. If he
- 47:54Speaker 9: is this comfortable assaulting first off, this other ten year
- 47:57Speaker 9: old and this little darling here, I want to know,
- 48:01Speaker 9: are there any unsolved cases that fit this age range?
- 48:05Speaker 9: That are out there that might be missing that he
- 48:07Speaker 9: had proximity to agree.
- 48:09Speaker 3: I agree he didn't just do this two times in
- 48:12Speaker 3: his life.
- 48:12Speaker 4: You can mark my words on that. And one quick thing.
- 48:14Speaker 3: I know we got to go, and I don't want
- 48:16Speaker 3: to lose you guys, but I just want you to
- 48:17Speaker 3: look at.
- 48:17Speaker 2: This piece of video that has been unearthed. This looks
- 48:21Speaker 2: to me like Audrey actually putting a tattoo on an
- 48:26Speaker 2: adult male is what it looks like to me. Look
- 48:29Speaker 2: at this, This little girl as working a tattoo pen.
- 48:36Speaker 3: Wait for it, there you go.
- 48:39Speaker 4: I can't tell if.
- 48:40Speaker 2: That's a man or a woman's leg. If it's a
- 48:44Speaker 2: man's leg, it could have been shaved to apply a tattoo.
- 48:47Speaker 3: What in the hay is going on in that house?
- 48:51Speaker 3: Why is this little girl? What jump in by a price?
- 48:56Speaker 7: What is this?
- 48:58Speaker 8: It's disgusting. It's clear, you know, I said a minute ago,
- 49:02Speaker 8: Joshua Cunningham, that let his little girl down, and this
- 49:05Speaker 8: grandmother and a lot of people let this little girl down.
- 49:10Speaker 8: But I want to if I could go back just
- 49:13Speaker 8: a minute to the public outpouring of support for Audrey.
- 49:17Speaker 8: This procession that you showed a minute ago that started
- 49:20Speaker 8: in Houston, local police officers went down to bring this
- 49:24Speaker 8: little girl home. It started in Houston, and as it
- 49:27Speaker 8: traveled up through Cleveland and Porter and Shepherd and some
- 49:32Speaker 8: of these other communities along the way, more law enforcement,
- 49:35Speaker 8: more police cars, more fire trucks, more citizens got in
- 49:39Speaker 8: this line. And by the time they got to where
- 49:42Speaker 8: you see it here in Livingston, there were hundreds of
- 49:45Speaker 8: people standing along the streets on Washington Avenue and Church
- 49:48Speaker 8: Street as they moved towards the funeral home. And there
- 49:52Speaker 8: she goes right there. It really was tremendous. And then
- 49:56Speaker 8: you have the little memorial that was built for her
- 49:59Speaker 8: under eath the what I'm now calling the Audrey Cunningham
- 50:02Speaker 8: Bridge on US fifty nine. Sheriff Greg Capers of San
- 50:06Speaker 8: Jacino County, where her body was recovered, told me that
- 50:09Speaker 8: they're talking to tex Dot now to get some kind
- 50:11Speaker 8: of a temporary memorial right there where you see where
- 50:15Speaker 8: the circle is was where she was found, and get
- 50:19Speaker 8: a temporary memorial built there. I say temporary because they're
- 50:21Speaker 8: getting ready to rip all of that out and build
- 50:23Speaker 8: a new highway, Interstate Highway through there. But it's the
- 50:28Speaker 8: love and support for this little girl that they're seeing
- 50:31Speaker 8: from the community. And I don't want to say that
- 50:36Speaker 8: this family didn't love her, but they certainly didn't protect her.
- 50:39Speaker 8: And that's a father's number one job.
- 50:41Speaker 2: You know what, Bob Price, I appreciate you being careful
- 50:46Speaker 2: when you're referring to her family that she lived with,
- 50:50Speaker 2: but I see it in very clear terms. She died
- 50:56Speaker 2: on their watch. They allowed this guy in the back
- 51:00Speaker 2: yard and in their home. So this Friday night, there's
- 51:05Speaker 2: going to be a memorial for Audrey, an eleven year
- 51:11Speaker 2: old girl. Eleven years old, and we want justice, and
- 51:21Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 51:24Speaker 4: Who falls in the search for justice, but we will
- 51:28Speaker 4: get justice for this child. Goodbye, friend,
