The Amite man accused of murdering a mother and kidnapping her two daughters, killing one of them, has been formally charged on federal kidnapping and criminal sexual activity charges.
Daniel Callihan is facing a life sentence in connection with the federal charges stemming from the death of Callie Brunett and her four-year-old daughter Erin.
In an affidavit filed after his arrest, Callihan admitted to investigators that he repeatedly stabbed Brunett at her Tangipahoa Parish home on June 12 before kidnapping her two daughters. Brunett's body was discovered the next day. A few hours after that discovery, authorities in Mississippi found the two girls in a pit behind a house in Jackson. The older daughter, a six-year-old, was alive, but the younger daughter, Erin, was dead.
In that affdavit, Callihan admitted to murdering Erin. He also admitted to intending on keeping the older daughter as a "sex slave."
Callihan is facing the death penalty in both Louisiana and Mississippi state courts in connection with this case.
