A Houston grand jury has slapped Don Steven McDougal with two counts of capital murder tied to the death of 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham – a local girl who disappeared over the Livingston community earlier this year.

The indictment, which was made public on Tuesday, April 22, means McDougal could face the grim grip of the Texas justice system at its most unforgiving if convicted. According to KTRK, Audrii failed to show up for her school bus one February morning and was found dead in the Trinity River not long after, her body telling a tale of homicidal violence, including blunt head trauma.

The Houston Chronicle reports that McDougal was no stranger to the law, with a rap sheet blooming with at least 14 arrests since 2001, detailing encounters with the Harris County Sheriff's Office, Conroe Police Department, and others. The 2008 guilty plea in Brazoria County for enticing a child now. At the time of his latest arrest, McDougal was already behind bars facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. No court date for the capital murder charges has been hammered out yet.
