Melissa Huckaby

Melissa Huckaby has been arrested in the Sandra Cantu murder case.


Melissa Huckaby, who was one of the last people to see eight-year-old Sandra Cantu alive, was arrested early Saturday.


This is all rather puzzling really as Melissa Huckaby actually drove
herself to hte police station to be interviewed…..not the sort of
thing you'd expect from someone who perceived themselves as being guilty.

An arrest has been made in the murder of eight-year-old Sandra Cantu in Tracy, Calif., CBS News has revealed.

Police arrested 28-year-old Melissa Huckaby, a neighbor whose own daughter was one of Sandra’s playmates.

Huckaby is a Sunday school teacher, and granddaughter of the pastor
of a nearby church that was searched extensively Friday by police
investigators.

Soon after that search, Huckaby drove herself to the police station, where she was questioned until early Saturday morning.

Sources tell CBS News that Huckaby told four different
stories of what happened the day the 8-year-old girl disappeared –
inconsistencies that prompted further inquiries from investigators.

"She gave enough information to us during the course of the
interview that probable cause was there to arrest her," Police Sgt.
Tony Sheneman told the Associated Press.

It is of course a foul case, where an 8 year old is found murdered. But there's amusement even in our darkest hours.

This morning the news broke regarding the murder of 8 year-old
Sandra Cantu. Melissa Huckaby, 28, was arrested and charged on
suspicion of kidnapping and killing the young girl. I read this first
on Fox News and they had the picture of a Melissa Huckaby, but it was
the wrong Huckaby.

The first picture is the correct Huckaby.

Fox has changed the picture, but there is no mention of the mistake. Several other news agencies did the same thing.

Click through there to see the wrong pictures…..and yes, it does
matter if the wrong picture goes out over the wires. Imagine the
embarrassment, if nothing else, of the person wrongly depicted.

  1. Thanks for the link. Amazing how MSM doesn’t fact check. I sent the girl that was wrongly pictured an email on her FaceBook page but have not heard back.

  2. This is really heartless for someone to kill a young innocent girl….i don’t know if the death penalty could be allowed by the court, but i strongly recommend Melisa Huckaby and all the people like her in this world, to get the death penalty right after conviction.
    It’s heartbreaking, and just flat out wrong, there’s no excuse for bullshit like this!!!

    I think “Melissa Huckaby ” should be put to death if she is found guilty for the Murder of Sandra Cantu.
    This is Horrible that a Sunday school teacher could commit such a crime. “What about thou shall not kill”
    Obviously I believe that this church forgot to run a criminal back ground check and a therapy test on this person.
    All Churches should run these tests before allowing any one person Male or Female to represent a church.
    Well she shall not only have to pay for her crimes but if found guilty she should have to appear before national television giving her reason why.
    I am so sorry this had to happen too her parents and I hope that justice is served. My heart goes out to all her family and friends. My Family and I will be praying for all of you.
