US EditionVictoria Cox Pleads Guilty to Murder, Kidnapping in Death of 4-Year-Old Girl
Victoria Cox received concurrent 40-year and 25-year sentences for murder and kidnapping after abducting two sisters and one died, prosecutors said.
- On Monday, Nov. 24, Victoria Cox pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and kidnapping and was sentenced by Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd to 40 years for murder and 25 years for kidnapping, to be served concurrently.
- Authorities traced the crime from the January killing of Callie Brunett at her Loranger, Louisiana, home to the cross-state abduction of her daughters into Mississippi in 2024.
- Investigators report the victims were ages four and six; 4-year-old Erin Brunett was found dead, the older sister hospitalized, and police found the girls behind a South Jackson house.
- Cox remains legally exposed as Daniel Callihan pleaded guilty to multiple life sentences at Angola State Penitentiary, and Cox faces additional charges in Tangipahoa Parish with a court date on April 14.
- She said she had been out of rehab two days before the kidnapping, told the judge Daniel Callihan forced her to get high, and said `I wanted to get away, but I couldn't`, Cox said.
