Police Arrest A Sunday School Teacher For The Murder Of Sandra Cantu!!!!




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.

A U.S. Navy Captain Who Is Being Held Hostage By Somali Pirates Made A Failed Attempt To Escape!


The Somali pirates who kidnapped Capt. Richard Phillips from a U.S Navy ship have demanded $2 million dollars in ransom for his safe return.They say they will kill him if the U.S. attacks the four pirates holding Capt. Phillips hostage.And that has already happened to a French hostage.Here's more from The Guardian:

"A French military operation to free a yacht hijacked by Somali pirates backfired yesterday when one of the hostages was killed, highlighting the perils facing US forces trying to free an American seaman being held captive in a parallel pirate standoff.

Despite the rescue of his four fellow hostages, including his three-year-old son, Florent Lemaçon was shot dead on board the Tanit during the raid by elite French forces. Two pirates also died, and three others were taken prisoner, said the French defence minister, Herve Morin."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Capt. Philips tried to make an escape,but his efforts failed.He's lucky that he didn't wind up dead.But,this guy is prepared to put his life on the line.Apparently,he did a very heroic thing.He offered himself as a hostage instead of letting the pirates take one of his crewman!Here's more on that from The AP:

"The head of Somalia's near-powerless transitional government, Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, appealed to leaders in piracy hubs to work for Phillips' release. The government "wants to see this piracy problem come to an end in a peaceful manner," he said in a statement.

President Barack Obama, who is getting regular updates on the standoff, made no public comment about it Friday for a third day.

Phillips, 53, thwarted the takeover of the 17,000-ton Alabama by telling his crew of about 20 to lock themselves in a room, the crew told stateside relatives.The crew later overpowered some of the pirates but Phillips surrendered himself to the bandits to safeguard his men, and the Somalis fled with him to the lifeboat, the relatives said.

Capt. James Staples, a classmate of Phillips at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, said he was not surprised by the escape attempt.

"That just shows me that Richie's still ... strong, he's thinking, he's alert," Staples said. "He's going to take every opportunity he can to, to make the situation a lot better for himself and probably get home as quick as he can."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

I will pray for Capt. Phillips safe return.

When I Look At Cindy & George Anthony,I Can See That Casey Anthony Didn't Fall Too Far From The Tree!


When I looked at Scott Peterson's parents,I couldn't understand how he turned out to be such a sociopath!In Casey Anthony's case,I can totally see where she gets being cold,deceitful,& heartless from.It is so apparent to me that Casey Anthony is just a product of her upbringing.Both Cindy & George Anthony do not appear to be your typical grieving grandparents who have no clue what happened to their murdered granddaughter.

In fact,they seem like two people who have something to hide.Hopefully,the Anthony family's secrets will be revealed.I've never seen a family of sociopaths until now!And GlossLip takes issue with the way the Anthony family has conducted themselves since Caylee Anthony disappeared as well.Here's an excerpt from their post:

"Let’s just say this about the veracity of Cindy Anthony: like her daughter Casey, Cindy has proven herself to be a pathological liar as well as a protector of the evil actions on the part of her daughter Casey.

I have lost any sympathy I had for the Anthony family as of now. They are clearly not interested in finding Caylee, but rather in protecting Casey, the only “person of interest” in the case of their missing granddaughter Caylee."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

The Anthony's made it clear that the defense of their daughter is the number one issue for them.I really don't believe that they want the full truth about what happened to Caylee Anthony to surface!From the looks of it,Casey Anthony may have had her parent's help in covering up this crime.I think that's why they are so defensive & evasive whenever the subject is broached.Here's more on their behavior from MSNBC:

"George's wife, Cindy, 50, was no less contentious, repeatedly refusing to answer questions and at one point threatening to walk out. She acknowledged that her daughter has sometimes not told the truth, but said she was motivated by a desire to protect her family. "Until this day, I still believe that she's protecting Caylee and the family," Cindy Anthony said.

Zenaida Gonzalez, 38, an unmarried mother of four who lives in the Orlando area, claims she lost her job because of Casey Anthony's story about Caylee's disappearance. "She's having a hard time of it," Gonzalez's attorney, Keith Mitnick, tells PEOPLE. "She was made to look like a kidnapper, maybe even a killer. It's just kind of followed her around. So a name change is probably a good idea for her."

Throughout the depositions, the Anthonys made it clear they are standing by their daughter, who maintains she is innocent. "You have to have hope," Cindy Anthony yelled as she left the deposition. "If you don't have hope, you don't have faith!"(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
