A Louisiana man arrested in the killing of a woman and her young daughter is believed to have had an accomplice, the Jackson Police Department said Friday.
The suspect, 36-year-old Daniel Callihan, was arrested Thursday after a 35-year-old mother was found dead and her two abducted daughters were later discovered in Mississippi – one dead and the other alive – in what investigators say may be a human trafficking case.
Callihan is accused of “committing brutal and heinous acts of violence,” including the killings of Callie Brunett and her 4-year-old daughter, said the sheriff’s office in Tangipahoa Parish, just north of New Orleans.
As Callihan was being escorted by officers from the Jackson Police Department headquarters Friday, a reporter asked him why he allegedly killed the little girl.
“I have no reason for what I did,” Callihan told reporters. He added that he’s been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Callihan’s alleged accomplice, Victoria Cox, 32, was arrested on Friday at a motel in south Jackson, Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade said.
Callihan said Friday that he has yet to talk to a lawyer. The Rankin County District Attorney’s Office told CNN they were unaware if Callihan had retained an attorney.
