JACKSON, Miss. —

The FBI spent the past two days searching a wooded area in Jackson after two Louisiana girls were found with a man accused of killing their mother and one of the children.

The FBI returned to the scene on Boozier Drive, near McCluer Road, Friday morning and was seen collecting evidence. The drone video above shows the investigation underway.

Jackson police were taken to the scene by Daniel Callihan on Thursday after arresting him following a pursuit.

Callihan is charged with the murder of 3-year-old Erin Brunett and her mother, Callie Brunnet, both of Loranger, Louisiana. The other child, Jalie, 6 years old, was found alive and returned to the custody of her grandparents.

Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade said that when the girls were found, he discovered cages at the crime scene, but no animals.

Wade was concerned that the site was being used for human trafficking and reported it to the Jackson FBI office.

Callihan's girlfriend, Victoria Cox, 32, was named as an accomplice and also arrested. She is in custody and being questioned by Jackson police.

Renee Brown lives a few doors down from where she says Callihan lived in Jackson. Brown said she never thought he could do something like that.

“I get teary-eyed every time I think about it. I couldn't sleep knowing what this little girl was going through, and (Jalie) is going to be scarred for life because of Daniel,” Brown said. “He was a nice guy. I mean, he has character, but who doesn't have character? But I never thought he could stoop that low and take someone's life.”

Brown said the neighborhood wasn't the best and after that she wanted to take her 81-year-old mother and move.
