Jackson, Miss. — A Louisiana woman was found dead in her home Thursday and her two young daughters were abducted and found hours later in Mississippi — one dead and the other alive, police said.

A Louisiana resident who'd dated the woman was arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, in connection with the deaths and abductions, investigators said.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana identified the suspect as 36-year-old Daniel Callihan.

1. So sad. We have a lot of mental issues in this country and a healthcare system that mostly ignores them.

2. Was were more news on his mental state? I didn't see anything about him being 'crazy' or such. Perhaps just a

disgruntled former boyfriend...

Thanks...
