LIVINGSTON, Texas (AP) Divers have recovered the body of an 11-year-old girl from a Texas river days after she went missing last week and authorities are preparing to file a murder charge against a friend of the father who lived on her familys property, a sheriff said Tuesday afternoon.

Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons said that the the body of Audrii Cunningham was found by divers during a search in the Trinity River, in a rural area north of Houston.

My heart aches for this news, Lyons said.

Cunninghams family had reported the child missing on Thursday after she failed to return after school to her home in Livingston.
