<p id="caption-attachment-439365" class="wp-caption-text">Audrii Cunningham, left, was last seen on Feb. 15, 2024, leaving her home for the bus stop in Livingston, Texas. She never made it to school. Police have identified Don Steven McDougal, right, as a person of interest who was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, center inset. Cops arrested him on an unrelated charge. (Texas Department of Public Safety)</p>
</div>
<p>Several law enforcement agencies and volunteers in <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/texas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a> are fervently searching for 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham, who has been <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/missing-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">missing</a> since Thursday.</p>
<p>Audrii was last seen around 7 a.m. Thursday in the 100 block of Lakeside Drive in Livingston, which is about 80 miles northeast of Houston, when she was supposed to catch the bus to school. Her family called cops after she didn’t get off the bus after school, and the Texas Department of Public Safety issued an <a href="https://twitter.com/TX_Alerts/status/1759056865005093060" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amber Alert which described her as an abducted child</a>. She was wearing a black hoodie with black lettering, camo backpack, black pants and black high-top tennis shoes. She also was carrying a bright red, Hello Kitty-styled backpack at the time of her disappearance. School officials said she never made it to school on Thursday.</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>Since then, cops have recovered a backpack that could be connected to the case and arrested a “person of interest” on an unrelated charge. On Saturday morning Texas DPS <a href="https://twitter.com/TxDPSSoutheast/status/1758841459296346489" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a photo of a 2003 dark blue Chevrolet Suburban</a> which they deemed “vehicle of interest.” Police recovered the vehicle later Saturday and arrested its owner, 42-year-old Don Steven McDougal, calling him the only “person of interest.” He was arrested on an unrelated aggravated assault charge.</p>
<p>“We are hopeful we can bring Audrii home alive and that’s what we are absolutely working for right now,” DPS Lt. Craig Cummings <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRbwVpr__ro">told reporters at a press conference on Saturday afternoon</a>. “Everybody is committed. They realize Audrii was loved by so many folks and that is the driving force for us to get answers and bring her home.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

</blockquote>
<p>Cummings declined to specify how McDougal became a person of interest. Cummings conceded that foul play could be involved and said the incident is being investigated as a criminal matter. Authorities late <a href="https://twitter.com/TxDPSSoutheast/status/1759250001086063019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunday morning</a> said there were no significant updates to share.</p>
<p>Audrii’s mother Casey Matthews said <a href="https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/missing/audrii-cunningham-update-texas-amber-alert-missing-livingston-polk-county/285-085c778d-27a4-4079-9db1-180ce2a739a2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in an interview with local CBS affiliate KHOU</a> that her daughter would not just run off and not tell anyone.</p>
<p>“She has so many opportunities ahead of her and deserves every right to reach those opportunities,” Matthews told the outlet. “She should be at home where we know she’s safe, and she’s warm, and she’s fed, and she should be with her little brother. She should be doing what Audrii does — smiling, laughing, making everybody else smile and laugh.”</p>
<p>Texas Equusearch, a non-profit search and rescue group, also is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TexasEquuSearch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aiding in the effort</a>. Local reporters posted videos of volunteers in 4-wheelers searching several areas.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p>Anyone with information about Audrii’s disappearance is asked to contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 936-327-6810 or Polk County Crime Stoppers, at 936-327-STOP. Callers can remain anonymous. Crime stoppers is offering a $7,000 reward.</p>

</div>
<p>Six people who have been missing for nearly six months, including two 3-year-old children, have prompted police to sound the alarm about a suspected online cult that they allege is operated by a man currently serving 18 years in prison for child molestation.</p>
<p>Rashad Jamal, also known as Rashad Jamal White, is a self-professed online “prophet” who runs a YouTube channel where he describes himself as the leader of the “University of Cosmic Intelligence.” Less advertised on his own website is his conviction on a single count of child molestation and another count of cruelty toward a child last August, Law&amp;Crime <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUCnyls9Zno" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously reported</a>.</p>
<p><iframe title="6 People Vanished After Getting Tangled Up in Alleged Cult of So-Called ‘Prophet’" width="760" height="428" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FUCnyls9Zno?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Despite the fact that Jamal is behind bars, police in Missouri are now spreading the word investigators believe that in the time since Jamal was sentenced, four adults who started following him online have cut ties with their loved ones, quit their jobs and otherwise gone rogue after being lured into Jamal’s bizarre web of conspiracy theories.</p>
<p>In videos reviewed by Law&amp;Crime’s Sierra Gillespie last week, Jamal is seen in one post proclaiming that “winter is not real” and that it is actually “a weapon” with the “true name of sub-zero technology.”</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>“They make fake clouds, they put ice crystals in the clouds, use fake 5G towers to activate those ice crystals in the clouds,” Jamal rambles, before later adding that birds seen on power lines are “government drones [who] report surveillance.”</p>
<p>Jamal also promotes polygamy and encourages followers to go into debt by living off their credit cards, meditate in the nude in public including at their homes in their front yards and backyards, declare sovereign citizenship and more.</p>
<p>Police in Missouri think Naaman Williams, 29, Gerielle German, 26, German’s 3-year-old son Ashton Mitchell, Mikayla Thompson, 23, Ma’Kayla Wickerson, 25, and Wickerson’s 3-year-old daughter, Malaiyah, have been sucked into the cult.</p>
<div id="attachment_433385" style="width: 1210px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-433385" class="size-full wp-image-433385" src="https://am24.mediaite.com/lc/cnt/uploads/2024/01/Thompson-composite.jpg" alt="Mikayla Thompson, left, Gerielle German, back, and Ma’Kayla Wickerson appear on on security footage obtained by Berkeley Police in Missouri and shared with Law&amp;Crime." width="1200" height="627"/></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-433385" class="wp-caption-text">Mikayla Thompson, left, Gerielle German, back, and Ma’Kayla Wickerson appear on security footage obtained by Berkeley Police in Missouri and shared with Law&amp;Crime.</p>
</div>
<p>German’s mother Shelita Gibson told St. Louis NBC affiliate <a href="https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local/search-for-missing-people-st-louis-county-spiritual-cult-connection/63-d2beb055-724b-4b7d-aece-de497244c3be" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KSDK</a> her daughter abruptly vanished last summer from Mississippi after telling her she was going to Missouri without any explanation. Wickerson’s mother Cartisha Morgan said she thinks her daughter was suffering from postpartum depression and that Jamal preyed on her vulnerabilities.</p>
<p>Other friends and family say those who went missing cut off contact, quit jobs, and maxed out credit cards.</p>
<p>Cult expert Rick Alan Ross told Law&amp;Crime that while running an online cult from prison may sound improbable, it isn’t.</p>
<p><a href="https://lawandcrime.com/?s=warren+jeffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warren Jeffs</a> still operates the extremist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS, as he serves out a life sentence in Texas for sexually assaulting two underage girls he made his “spiritual” brides, Ross noted.</p>
<p><iframe title="Inside the Disturbing FLDS Polygamist Cults of Warren Jeffs and Samuel Bateman" width="760" height="428" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A2uyp5JBxHY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Jamal fancies himself a rapper as well a god and vows on his website that he is “geared toward enlightening and illuminating the minds of the carbonated beings,” or Black and Latino people.</p>
<p>The approach isn’t new.</p>
<p>Another cult leader known as Eligio Bishop, or “NatureBoy,” made similar proposals to his followers online for the group “Melanation” in 2016. He ultimately coaxed victims in Georgia to do things like funnel him huge amounts of cash, move to Honduras and toil on land they purchased for him.</p>
<p>One of Bishop’s victims described rampant sexual abuse to Georgia NBC affiliate <a href="https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/eligio-bishop-natureboy-carbon-nation-cult-former-member-speaks-of-abuse/85-3f79accc-2677-4117-aab2-59305a9cf5b9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WXIA</a> in 2022.</p>
<p>Back in Missouri, the Berkeley Police Department say German and her 3-year-old son Ashton were last seen at a Quality Inn just outside of the airport in St. Louis in August.</p>
<p>Police know she, the boy, and the four others missing were last known to be renting an apartment in Berkeley. They were evicted in August and according to <a href="https://www.theroot.com/a-cult-police-say-these-six-people-in-missouri-have-di-1851155706" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Root</a>, the home was rented in Ma’Kayla Wickerson’s name. Police says Wickerson has changed her name and now goes by Intuahma Aquama Auntil.</p>
<p>Jamal told the <a href="https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-courts/guru-denies-being-cult-leader-says-he-doesn-t-know-people-missing-from-st-louis/article_1f116254-b00a-11ee-b256-07e0a4170d16.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">St. Louis Post-Dispatch</a> in an interview from prison this week that he does not know the six missing people reported missing. He also denies being a cult leader, saying he merely expresses his opinions online on everything from molecular biology to Black history.</p>
<p>“I am pretty sure I have never met these people,” he said, adding he doesn’t know who comes in and out of his livestreams online.</p>
<p>Though the six missing people allegedly connected to Jamal were living in Missouri, they are not all from the state. Naaman Williams is from Washington, D.C., and Gerielle German and her son are from Mississippi.</p>
<p class="sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv">Berkley Police Department Major Steve Runge said this week the suspected cult members have been seen running naked in the rain outside of the Berkeley home. They have also been seen digging things up from the dirt.</p>
<p class="sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv">Runge also said the FBI is helping them in their search.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, as of Tuesday, a Change.org petition urging Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to clear Jamal of his child molestation conviction is just shy of 10,000 signatures.</p>
