Police have arrested a Tracy woman who is a Sunday school teacher for the murder of Sandra Cantu.It is horrific if it is true.And it will make some people doubt the validity of Christianity even more.Because it's obvious that Melissa Huckaby was living a lie every Sunday.What she is accused of doing is absolutely vicious & as far from religious piety as possible!Why would this woman do such a malicious thing to an innocent little girl who was her daughter's good friend? For the love of God,why?!!
Here's more on the arrest of the woman police believe killed Sandra Cantu from KTVU:
"A Tracy woman, who was one of the last people to see eight-year-old Sandra Cantu alive, was arrested early Saturday for the murder of the young girl.
Melissa Huckaby, 28, had been interviewed by police since early Friday evening and was taken into custody at 1 a.m., authorities said.
The arrest ended a wild 16-hour period filled with rumors about Huckaby's possible arrest.
She told the Tracy Press and sources confirmed to KTVU that someone stole her waterproof, charcoal-trimmed Eddie Bauer suitcase from the park two weeks ago. She said she had inadvertently left the suitcase in her driveway and it was taken from there.
She claimed she had filled the suitcase with items to decorate a classroom where she teaches Sunday school at her grandfather’s church, but forgot her keys and cell phone. Huckaby went into the home to retrieve them and then drove off without the bag.
Cantu’s body was found Monday stuffed in a large, dark colored suitcase submerged in a Tracy irrigation pond.
“It’s not my grandfather’s,” Huckaby told the paper of the missing suitcase. “It’s mine and someone took it.”
At an afternnon news conference, Police Sgt. Tony Sheneman said he did not have any information about the kind of suitcase in which the girl's body was found.
She also admitted that Cantu had come over to her mobile home the day the girl disappeared to play with Huckaby’s daughter. Huckaby said she told Cantu that her daughter had to clean her room and the little girl left to go to another unnamed friend’s home.
Huckaby said police had interviewed her at the hospital earlier this week, but at Friday's press conference Sheneman would not confirm that the woman had been interviewed. She spent several days in the intensive care unit being treated for what she said was “internal bleeding.”
Local investigators and FBI technicians had seized Huckaby’s Kia SUV earlier in the week and meticulously searched it. Evidence teams had also searched the grounds of the church where her grandfather, Lane Lawless, is the pastor. Police were back at the church on Friday afternoon."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
