Two Young Girls Missing After Mother Found Brutally Murdered

Police search a house in the neighbourhood after a gunman shot and wounded three college students of Palestinian descent in Burlington

Authorities in Louisiana are urgently searching for two young girls who have gone missing following the brutal murder of their mother in Loranger. Callie Brunett, 35, was discovered dead in her bedroom, prompting concerns for her daughters, Jalie, 6, and Erin, 3, who are currently unaccounted for.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office revealed that the girls were last seen at their home in Loranger around 8 a.m. on Thursday. A domestic violence incident is suspected to have escalated into Brunett's murder and the abduction of her daughters. Police are actively seeking an unidentified white male in connection to these crimes.

An Amber Alert has been issued by the Louisiana State Police on behalf of the sheriff's office for the missing girls. The suspect is believed to be driving a black 2012 Chrysler 200 with a Louisiana license plate number 859GML. Authorities have cautioned that the driver is considered armed and dangerous.

Erin Brunett is described as a 3-year-old white female with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at approximately 3 feet tall and weighing around 32 pounds. Jalie Brunett, 6, is a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, measuring about 4 feet tall and weighing roughly 58 pounds. Details about the clothing they were wearing at the time of their abduction remain unknown.

Law enforcement officials have not disclosed the specifics of Callie Brunett's death, but Sheriff Daniel Edwards mentioned that the scene was marked by extensive bloodshed. The suspect's vehicle, a black Chrysler 200 with a missing hubcap on the back right tire and potential rear damage, remains a focal point of the investigation.

The community is urged to remain vigilant and report any relevant information to assist in locating the missing girls and apprehending the suspect. The search efforts continue as authorities work tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety of the children.
