Police arrested a suspect
The police have named Don Steven McDougal, a 42-year-old close friend of the family, as the suspect. Friday marked the arrest of McDougal on charges of aggravated assault, which are unrelated to the disappearance of Audrii. In a press conference, Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons said he believed he was the last person to see Audrii.
According to Lyons, the family reported that he occasionally dropped her off at school or drove her if she missed the bus. During the time that McDougal was in police detention, he refrained from providing any confessions. As McDougal lived in a camper on the family’s property and was an acquaintance, Audrii probably trusted him.
