The body of an 11-year-old girl missing since Thursday has been found in a Texas river, authorities announced Tuesday.

Dive teams found Audrii Cunningham’s body on Tuesday in the Trinity River under U.S. Highway 59, said Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons at a press conference. An autopsy will determine a cause and manner of death, Lyons said.

“My heart aches with this news,” Lyons said.

Don Steven McDougal, 42, arrested on Saturday, will be charged with capital murder, Polk County District Attorney Shelly Bush-Sitton said. McDougal is in jail on an unrelated aggravated assault charge.
