The man accused of killing Audrii Cunningham, 11, has his first court appearance in the nude. Don Steven McDougal is naked when an officer goes to his cell to take him before the Justice of the Peace. When told to put on clothes McDougal tells the police he doesn't have any.  He's told to cover up with a blanket. As he stands before the judge, McDougal drops the blanket. 

Cassie Matthews, Audrii's mom, joins Nancy Grace today to detail how she learned her daughter was missing, and how she felt learning that the man accused of killing Audrii was charged with sex crimes.
