Authorities in Texas are searching for an 11-year-old girl who has been missing since Thursday morning after she didn’t come to school.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Texas provided details about the missing girl, Audrii Cunningham, in a press release early Friday morning.

The release said Audrii was last seen near her residence at about 7 a.m. local time on Thursday in the 100 block of Lakeside Drive in Livingston, Texas.

“Audrii should have caught the school bus at her neighborhood bus stop; however, school officials reported to the Sheriff’s Office that the school bus did not pick Audrii up, nor did she report to school,” the release said. “At this time, Audrii’s whereabouts are unknown.”

The sheriff’s office describes Audrii as “a white female with blonde hair and blue eyes. She weighs 75 pounds and is approximately 4-foot-1-inch tall."

She was last seen wearing black pants, a black hoodie with white lettering, and black high-top tennis shoes, the sheriff’s office said.

Audrii was also carrying a bright red “Hello Kitty” backpack at the time of her disappearance.

“Sheriff Lyons asks that anyone with information in this case to immediately contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, at 936-327-6810,” said the press release, which included a group of photos of the missing child.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said it’s receiving help from authorities at the Texas Ranger Division, the Department of Public Safety, the Livingston Police Department, the Texas State Guard, and a number of local fire departments.
