The suspect in a Louisiana child abduction case was arrested and the body of the missing 4-year-old was found dead in the woods, police said.
A man accused of killing a Louisiana mother and abducting a 4-year-old and 6-year-old has been booked into a jail in Mississippi, police said. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office announced on social media that officers arrested Daniel Callihan, 36, on Thursday, June 13. Officers said that Callihan 'committed brutal and heinous acts of violence' in the murders of Callie Brunett, 35, and her 4-year-old daughter, Erin. 'Our hearts are with all those affected by this tragic event.
One of the Childs, a 6-year-old, has been taken to the hospital to receive treatment,' he said. 'My understanding is that the 4-year-old is deceased in the woods.' Wade shared that officers were still trying to determine the 4-year-old’s 'manner of death.' Calling the scene 'traumatic,' Wade thanked fellow law enforcement agencies for their assistance in the investigation.
The Jackson Police Department asked during the news conference that anyone with information related to the case come forward and contact the department at 960-1234.
