Sandra Cantu #2 4/09/09 - 4/15/09

[Dolce]

Tracygirl I think that you may be on to something in regards to this being a part of the child porn ring there in Tracy.

Per Miss Blink

"By Huckaby’s own admission, she volunteered that as recently as a few months ago, she was interviewed by police regarding a 7 year old girl from the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park who she had taken to a nearby park three times during that week with her five year old daughter.  She stated to several reporters in telephone interviews late yesterday afternoon that at approximately 2 am,  hours after she returned the young playmate, police showed up at her trailer and told her the child had narcotics in her system. Blink on Crime has attempted to corroberate this information with Sgt. Tony Sheneman of the Tracy Police Department, but Sheneman was unaware of the incident. He has requested that information from Investigators. Regarding the suitcase she claimed had been stolen, she told reporters that she did not have online access to report it, but her myspace page indicates otherwise."

It seems that Sandra is not the only child she has taken.  I mean is her 5 y/o that much of a menace that she has to kidnap other children just so that her child has a playmate?  Why would you need to drug a child if they were just playing in the park?

[no rose colored glasses]

I totally agree with you Tracygirl, what happened with the questioning of Melissa about drugging of a little girl, that she took to the park on several occasions with her child? Did LE just think this seven year old got a hold of some drugs in her parents home? I am beyond bothered with this, maybe, just maybe if something would have been done, Melissa would not have been running around, and Sandra might still be here. I also want to bring back up the topic of revenge that Edward and I were bringing up. Sandra's grandpa put up surveilance cameras, because his tires were slashed. He was figuring because he was taking stray cats to the pound. Now, I wonder did Melissa have a cat that might have been taken to the pound by grandpa? This woman doesn't look right in the head to me, whether from drugs or whatever, could this be somekind of revenge for the actions of the grandpa. That may sound silly, but I have certainly seen my share of reports on different crimes, were the motive seemed ridiculous to me. Maybe I'm just trying to make some sense to this 

[Tracygirl]

whoaaaa...they dont expect any other arrests in this case!

and that's that! cases concluded according to the news conference.

shocking. Acted alone apparently with no outside help or accomplices.

this ratchets up the motive here. And the police better be right.

what could the motive now be?

female sexual predator? - doesn't seem likely from what I've read - but who knows?

jealousy? - who knows?

just killed to see what it was like? who knows?

she's crazy? who knows?

I'm perplexed why this all happened and she has a child of her own. Seems to me her own child would be her target not a neighborhood child. Children are often killed by their own parent and we all know that the mother is sometimes responsible.

I just think this is an odd explanation -female kills neighborhood girl for no apparent reason. WTH? 

I agree Rob. 

Could LE saying they dont expect any other arrests in this case, be an attempt at soothing the locals into a false sense of 'ok, everythings taken care of now, we can all relax'..... while at the same time LE may have NO CLUE yet where else to turn, just not sure yet who all else may be involved, just not ready yet to make those further arrests, or not sure yet how to tie what they may know together with this case. 

So let's just put a bandaid on this case, and call it closed.  Locals can relax and put their fears and vigilante justice feelings on a back burner.  LE has it all under control.  (and I was born at night, but it wasn't last night, or even the night before).

In essence... *if* this is what LE is doing in this case, it's an insult to the family, the locals, and crime victims everywhere. 

And for what?  cover your a$$.  soothe the ruffled feelings.  lets get things back to 'normal'. IMO.

 

Very well put! yes this is what I am afraid is happening. Meanwhile we have 60 people who are into child porn, we don't know who they are, who to protect our children from.

[Dolce]

Ok.. here's the way I see what happened.

Melissa Huckaby drives herself to the police station last night around 11. Is questioned and at some point there is enough of a statement (including suitcase in police custody) to arrest her for the murder of Sandra Cantu.

At what point did the police go from far -reaching implications to no other arrests anticipated? How did that occur?

What did she say that changed everything? I'm totally confused here.

If she had admitted to the crime would they not have stated that she admitted to the crime? 
All that he said in the presser was that she started talking, had become emotional, and then calmed down a bit, and then was reserved. 

[Rob]

why was the church search twice and a (rollaway??) bed seized if the statement today is correct. And it is believed that Sandra was most likely killed at Melissa's home where she was last seen on video skipping toward?

as of last night Melissa's home was not thought to be the crime scene. Or am I missing something here?

how come 2+2 is equaling 7

anyone else?

Getting 7 too.  My hinky meter is in overload!

[momoftwins]

OMG I JUST AM SO SO SAD. I CAN NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO SANDRA..I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS CASE FROM THE BEGINNING, WHAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF IS THAT, I JUST KEEP ON GETTING SURPRISED BY THE THINGS I SEE AND READ IN THIS WORLD.. I DON’T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE NOR WILL I EVER TRUST NO ONE..I HAVE A REAL HARD TIME WITH TRUSTING PEOPLE..WHEN I HEAR ABOUT STORIES LIKE THIS IT JUST MAKES MATTER’S WORSE…WHO DO PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE BY TAKEING SOMEONE ELSE CHILD..

it is sad...and honestly, nothing surprises me anymore...some people are so sick and twisted and I have given up on trying to *understand* them because I never will

I watch my kids like a HAWK!!!

I think we may be missing a whole lot of little pieces that tie everything together.
It seems that everything that involves MH comes out 2+2=7

Given that per statements this church currently does not hold gatherings, I am wondering if it is not the arena to where they hold these sex ring gatherings and do their "filming".  If you think about it a church would be a good cover and a good place to lure children in.  A church is a place of safety for most, so no one would suspect.

Why the kidnapping charge? She must have taken her outside of the mhp, if she was dead when she left there would be no kidnapping. If Sandra went to her house and went in, that is not kidnapping.

My thoughts exactly. It has been done in the past, a child makes another child feel that they can trust the stranger or semi stranger more.

If Tracygirl were the arrested party then how is she posting?     Must be another stupid Topix or WS rumor....I love being a Monkey!!!

WS rumor.  Someone over yonder needs to be slapped down and timed out for a week.  IMO

Yes, I agree 

Or maybe read a book on how to investigate a crime??? I think I made a comment yesterday about WS, someone had posted something about this woman may have been helping Sandra, I said before we make her out to be a hero, lets find out of she is a murder. Maybe that upset someone. wouldn't be the first time I upset someone and won't be the last. This is over though. I appreciate you all know I had nothing to do with it but I hope to be responsible to help bring down the child porn ring  in this town.
People are applauding and saying thank you to this detective, yes they solved the crime, so did we. Thankfully it was an easy one,kwim?  I will say thank you once the pedophiles in my town are locked  up and my children are truly safe. Lets drop this though, I am sitting here at my home ready to boil eggs so my children can color them. I am not in a jail cell nor do I know anyone involved although I have seen them certain places in town. So lets move on and again thank you. 

I agree with you, Tracygirl. 

Let me just say, before we all move on from this, that I'm the one who suggested in here that perhaps Sandra could have been injured from possibly having defended Melissa from someone else abusing her.  And as I posted to your reply, my saying that wasn't meant to make her out 'a hero', just looking at it from a different angle, that's all.  And as I said in that reply, I never meant to offend you, if that's the case.  Soooooo I said all this to hopefully reassure you that if those posts between you and I upset someone, it wasn't me, ok?  IMO, whoever may been upset, nosy or whatever, was the one/s over at Websleuths, who may have taken what we were saying and ran with it, adding a completely different viewpoint to what was being said.  The accusation type thing was posted over there.  I didn't post it, nor have I even seen what was said. 

Just wanted you to know that it wasn't me.  I admire you for all that you've been able to do to help in this case.  And I hope that you will continue to do so. 

We cannot help what someone 'over yonder' gets in their heads to post, but can be very grateful that the person is over there, not here as a beloved monkey. (consider the source type of thing).

And not only that, the bed was taken on the second search of the church. And I thought Melissa's daughter and grandma were in the mobile home that afternoon, so either Melissa killed Sandra with two other people in the trailer, or that is a lie also. So why isn't the home a crime scene, but crime scene tape went up two times at the church. CSI was even on the roof of the church yesterday.

This is what I'm thinking.  She lured, drugged and led the lamb to slaughter.  In this case, something went wrong.  I think she just either overdosed her or Sandra had some other drug related reaction which killed her.

However, I'm wondering if the bed was moved to the church later - as in, to get it out of her house.  If something had happened on that bed, they might have been dropping it like a hot potato.

I go back and forth between thinking that she was taken out of the MHP and that she wasn't.  The only thing that makes me think she wasn't is that they say she died so quickly after we see her skipping in the video.   Unless she drugged her and then took her out of the MHP.

I'm getting 7 too. It doesn't seem she actually confessed to anything, he said based on statements and inconsistencies. He said he knew where the crime scene was, I think the crime scene is the church, even tho he wouldn't say. I don't think she killed her right away or else she would not have been charged with kidnapping.

My gut is telling me drug OD. I think she went to do something she had probably done at least a few times before and this time something went more wrong then usual.

[Tracygirl]

I think the obvious conclusion is Sandra was killed outside of the mhp given the kidnapping charge. MH had to have taken her outside of the MHP alive, it would  seem the church was involved. I would safely assume she died at the church.

here's some more.

Murder instrument not recovered. They have the suitcase. A note. But what implement coincides with a injury Sandra received?

something is seriously missing here. very very seriously.
