Two weeks from the one-year mark of Erin and Callie Brunett’s murders, WWL Louisiana has obtained a timeline of the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office’s effort to obtain an AMBER alert the day Erin and her sister were discovered missing. It details the delays that stretched the process into a multi-hour ordeal.

*****
WWL Louisiana reached out to former Sheriff Edwards, as well as the Department of Public Safety to ask why the timeline took so long to be released.

*****
Daniel Callihan, the man who confessed to killing the Brunetts, was found competent to stand trial in federal court earlier this month. His trial is scheduled to begin July 28.
