Audrii Cunningham's family demands action after a convicted sex offender, living on their property due to a registration loophole, is charged with her murder.

• Audrii Cunningham, an 11-year-old girl, was murdered by Don Steven McDougal, a convicted sex offender who was living on her family's property.
• The family was unaware of McDougal's criminal history due to a loophole in the sex offender registration system, which allowed him to avoid being listed.
• McDougal had a history of child enticement and was previously sentenced to two years in prison for a related offense.
• Audrii's family has called for legislative and law enforcement action to address the loophole that allowed McDougal to evade detection.
