You Are A DEMON: Daniel Callihan Sentenced To Life in Prison For 2024 Murders, Kidnapping & Rape!!

In this gripping episode of The Clay Edwards Show, we dive into a chilling courtroom drama that unfolded in Hinds County, Mississippi, where even the sunny weather couldn't overshadow the darkness of the crimes revealed. Daniel Callihan, the man behind a nightmarish sequence of events, entered a guilty plea for the brutal murder of Callie Brunett and her young daughter Erin, along with the abduction and assault of her other child, Jalie. Facing Circuit Judge Debra Gibbs, Callihan was handed a life sentence without the possibility of parole—justice served swiftly in a case that shocked communities across state lines.It all started back in June 2024, when Callihan invaded Brunett's home in Loranger, Louisiana, ending her life before snatching her two little girls, 4-year-old Erin and 6-year-old Jalie, and heading to Jackson. Tragically, he silenced Erin's cries by taking her life, then subjected Jalie to unimaginable abuse. His partner, Victoria Cox, was allegedly involved in the horrors, including acts against the surviving child. Authorities later found the children's remains discarded callously in a ditch, a detail highlighted by Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens during the proceedings.A task force of U.S. Marshals tracked the pair down to a rundown pet store in South Jackson, leading to quick indictments for capital murder, kidnapping, sexual battery, and more. Callihan didn't hold back in his confession during a police walk, admitting, "I did it. I have no reason for what I did," while mentioning his sobriety, medication like Lexapro, and a diagnosis of multiple personality disorder.This Mississippi hearing followed Callihan's earlier guilty plea in Louisiana's Tangipahoa Parish, where he received two consecutive life terms for the murders. There, Brunett's sister, Brandi Hosch, delivered a raw victim impact statement, branding him a "demon" and wishing him endless nightmares. She echoed that fire in the Hinds County court, emphasizing that his life was spared only to shield her niece from ever facing him again: "You have no limits, no soul... You must be caged like an animal to keep others safe."The prosecution, led by Assistant DA Jamie McBride, laid out the grim charges in detail, with Callihan ultimately pleading guilty to capital murder, two sexual battery counts, and kidnapping—dropping a couple of lesser ones. Judge Gibbs kept things concise, sentencing him to life without parole for murder, 30 years for kidnapping, and another life term for sexual battery, all to run one after the other.Cox's case remains open, with charges including capital murder and sexual battery. Callihan, meanwhile, heads to Louisiana's Angola prison first, but if he ever sees daylight there, Mississippi's sentences await. He's also set for federal sentencing on November 19 for related interstate crimes.Post-hearing, Callihan's lawyer, Michael Fiser, pointed to mental health failures in the system, though DA Owens noted evaluations showed Callihan understood his actions despite his history. In the end, this monster is locked away for good—a small measure of closure in an otherwise heartbreaking story.Tune in as Clay breaks it down with his no-holds-barred take on justice, mental illness, and protecting the innocent.
