Callie Brunett, 35, and her daughters were reported missing from Loranger, Louisiana, where Callie was later found murdered. The investigation swiftly led to Jackson, where Erin’s body was discovered in a wooded area behind a residence, highlighting the tragic end to their ordeal.

Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade condemned Callihan, describing him as a “coward” responsible for the murders. He expressed deep sorrow over the loss of young Erin’s life, emphasizing the emotional toll on the community and law enforcement involved in the case.

Authorities indicated that the crime scene suggested possible links to human trafficking, noting disturbing findings such as small animal cages. Chief Wade underscored the seriousness of the investigation, promising meticulous scrutiny of the area to uncover any further evidence.
