Two young children have disappeared in Louisiana after their mother was found brutally murdered in her Loranger home early Thursday morning.
Following their disappearance, state police issued an emergency search for the two missing sisters, 6-year-old Jalie and 4-year-old Erin. They were said to have been abducted before 8am on Thursday.
Callie Brunett, 35, was reported missing for 24 hours and was eventually 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 her bedroom floor by her father in her mobile home, police said.
Tangipahoa Sheriff’s Office Chief Jimmy Travis called the scene an “obvious homicide” with “blood everywhere,” and said there is reason to believe the children are currently in danger.
Callie’s mother, Debbie Smith Brunett, shared a poignant comment on her daughter’s latest Facebook post. ‘CALL ME!!’ she wrote in Callie’s last post Wednesday night at 8:27 p.m.
