Finding Audrii: A story of tragic loss and lasting legacy He was close with the family and lived in a camper behind their home. Audrii’s grandparents, Philip and Tabitha Munsch, say they were trying to help McDougal start a new chapter in his life.They knew he had a troubled past, but the grandparents say they never knew he committed sexual crimes against children. In 2007, McDougal was accused and convicted of a sexual crime against a minor. However, he accepted a plea deal, which lowered the level of the crime.“I checked the sex offender registry. I checked it. He wasn’t there,” Tabitha told KPRC 2′s Gage Goulding on Monday.The law proposed to state legislators would “close the loophole” and require anybody convicted of a sexual crime to register as a sexual offender, regardless of the plea.“It means a lot. It means that we’re helping to make sure Texas and hopefully the nation, a little bit safer for children.” They received the call late last week that it was finally their chance to speak in front of lawmakers.Audrii’s family, including her father, will speak at the Capitol on Tuesday. HB 2000 is still in a committee, which means it has a long way to go, including through the State Senate, before eventually reaching a final vote. ‘Rot in hell:’ Audrii Cunningham’s family shares incendiary words to killer before accepting plea dealGage Goulding is an award-winning TV news reporter and anchor.
