Two young children have vanished in Louisiana after their mother was found brutally murdered in her Loranger home early Thursday morning.
An urgent search has been issued by state police for the two missing sisters, 6-year-old Jalie and 4-year-old Erin, following their disappearance. They are believed to have been abducted before 8 am Thursday.
Callie Brunett, 35, was reported missing for 24 hours and ultimately found dead in her home early Thursday.
Brunett was found brutally murdered in her home at 56044 N. Cooper Road. Her lifeless body was found on the bedroom floor of her bedroom by her father in her mobile home, police said.
Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office Chief Jimmy Travis called the scene an ‘obvious homicide’ with ‘blood everywhere,’ and said there is a reason to believe the children are currently in danger.
Callie’s mom, Debbie Smith Brunett, shared a haunting comment on her daughter’s last Facebook post. ‘CALL ME!!’ she wrote on Callie’s final post at 8:27pm Wednesday evening
She had been missing for over 24 hours before detectives found her body, according to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The chief said at this point the children could be half way across the country but they will be using all resources to get the children home.
‘This morning.. the victim’s father discovered her body in the mobile home behind me. Her four-year-old and six-year-old child along with her car are missing.’
‘This time period is very crucial. We need to find these children,’ the chief said.
‘We can’t do nothing for the victim,’ Chief Travis said. ‘Our priority is to find these children and to get them back to their family.’
There are no current suspects and the whereabouts of the children is unknown.
The manner of Brunett’s murder has not been disclosed.
Authorities are investigating her death as a homicide.
In the amber alert, detectives said they are looking for a white male for questioning regarding a domestic violence incident related to Brunett’s death.
Erin is described as approximately 3 feet tall and weighing 32 pounds, while Jalie is about 4 feet tall and weighs 58 pounds. The clothing they were wearing at the time of the abduction is currently unknown.
He is considered armed and dangerous, and the public is advised not to approach him.
Authorities are urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of the children to contact 911 immediately.
Brunett’s car, a black 2012 Chrysler 200 with Louisiana license plate 859GML, is also missing.
