MISSISSIPPI, USA — A grand jury in Mississippi has indicted Daniel Callihan, the suspect in the kidnapping and murders in Tangipahoa parish.
36-year-old Callihan was indicted on one count of capital murder, two counts of kidnapping, three counts of sexual battery, and one count of receiving stolen property.
The grand jury also indicted Callihan's accomplice, Victoria Cox, 32, for "capital murder, kidnapping, and sexual battery in connection to the case."
Callihan also faces two first-degree murder charges in Louisiana. Last month, he appeared in federal court in New Orleans and was charged with kidnapping and transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
According to federal court documents, Daniel Callihan stabbed Callie Brunett about 30 times on Wednesday, June 12, before he kidnapped her daughters.
Documents obtained reveal that he was spotted at a McDonald's in McComb, Mississippi, June 12th — the same day he allegedly killed Callie Brunett, with what appeared to be two minors in the backseat that day—the day before anyone even knew the girls were missing.
The girls were found the next day (June 13) in a pit behind a vacant house off Boozier Dr. According to the documents, 4-year-old Erin had been killed, and Callihan admitted he wanted to keep her older sister as a sex slave.
Callihan’s charges in all three jurisdictions – Louisiana, Mississippi, and federal, could result in the death penalty.
