Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens issued the following statement.
Hinds County District Attorney Jody E. Owens, II, announced today that Victoria Cox, co-defendant in the Daniel Wayne Callihan case, was sentenced for her role in the June 2024 murder and kidnapping that spanned Louisiana and Mississippi.
Cox aided convicted murderer and kidnapper Daniel Wayne Callihan in the abduction of two young sisters and the murder of one. Callihan picked up Cox while driving to Mississippi after killing the girls’ mother, 35-year-old Callie Brunett, inside her Loranger, Louisiana home. Federal investigators later confirmed that both Callihan and Cox sexually assaulted the six-year-old survivor before the younger child was killed.
Cox pled guilty to one count of Second-Degree Murder and one count of Kidnapping. She was sentenced to 40 years for Second-Degree Murder and 25 years for Kidnapping, with the sentences to run concurrently in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. “While nothing can undo the horror these children endured, today’s plea ensures that Victoria Cox will spend the next four decades behind bars for her role in this unimaginable crime,” said District Attorney Jody E. Owens, II. “Cox’s sentence reflects our commitment to protecting children and ensuring predators and their accomplices never walk free again. We thank the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation for their thorough and dedicated work in bringing this case to justice.”
This sentencing marks the last chapter in the ongoing multi-jurisdictional prosecution involving federal charges in Louisiana, state charges in Louisiana, and state charges in Mississippi. Callihan, the principal defendant, was sentenced in Mississippi to three life sentences plus 60 years, which run consecutively to his two Louisiana life sentences, ensuring he will never walk free again.

She got off easy! I can’t imagine a crime worse than this. Both defendants should have been tortured to death. I can’t imagine what those children went through.
What kinda drugs would cause a person to do these things to another human being & children. When Cox gets to prison, I'm sure she will be in the company of women who have children of their own...I bet she won't last long in that environment...
Sick trash!
