In February 2024, 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham of Livingston, Texas, disappeared on her way to school. The community rallied in search efforts, but days later her body was found in the Trinity River.
Audrii was remembered as bright, kind, and full of life. Vigils, murals, and tributes honored her, while the tragedy sparked broader conversations about child safety, from safe walking routes to stronger community watch efforts.
Though her loss deeply shook the town, her legacy lives on as a call for vigilance, unity, and protecting children everywhere.
