SANDRA CANTU, 8, missing since 3/27/09 Tracy, CA #1 3/28/09-4/09/09

I dont even have words.

I try very hard not to be critical of LE, but if this is going the way we think, that makes all of us right all along, and Sgt. Shenemen should explain his comments from yesterday. They do not get those kinds of warrants and vehicle impounds without physical evidence, they just do not.

God Bless Sandra and her family.

Are we going to find out what I feared, but actually this is worse then what I feared, this sounds like a child porn ring, checking out all these places  And God knows what else LE has discovered.

something so strange about them checking the hotel rooms....

Could just be me, but I'm thinking LE has stumbled onto something big. I sure wish we would hear something about Sandra today.

I for one am not going to be surprised if the guy that kissed her at the pool is not somehow involved in this.  and if it turns out he is, shame on everyone in that park that knew of this incident and did nothing about it!

^^^^^^ right...and her mother as well if she knew about it....but do we know if anyone had a talk with this guy when the incident occurred...?? a talk at the very least...a threat would have been in order....
If it is the guy who kissed her, I am wondering why it took him 2 years to do something else with Sandra?  wonder what ever possessed him to kiss this child of 6 on her mouth? very inappropriate...Is this guy married?

^^^^^^ Sandra was 6 at the time of the kiss...just to clarify..

I won't be either. I know if one of my girls would have had something like that happen, I sure would have went to the police. And I know me, we would have moved also, no doubt about it. Maybe the family didn't think that a middle age man kissing a six year old wasn't that big of deal? I just don't know what they might have been thinking. What scares me is what has this man all been doing?

I didn't get anything other than they are looking at the 2 guys.  I teased that she was a little slow with the info! I already knew that! haha

TRACY - After three full days of searching for 8-year-old Sandra Cantu and few clues, Tracy investigators reported their first major developments in the mysterious case late Monday:

Police reviewed surveillance video from businesses that surround the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park. Detectives scanned a list of hundreds of guests at nearby motels.

The more than 90 mobile homes in the park were searched at least twice, police said. Family members and park residents also were questioned, Sheneman said.

That includes one adult resident who allegedly kissed Sandra on the lips two years ago at the trailer park's pool, Sheneman said. That man, who was about 60 at the time, is being questioned and had not been named a suspect earlier in the day


When Sandra arrived home - around 4 p.m., according to a surveillance camera attached to her house - she talked about going to church and a movie with her two older sisters, her grandfather said.

When the girls realized they didn't have enough money to go to a movie, Sandra left again to play, Chavez said.

The video camera recorded her exit from the house. It was the last time Sandra was seen.

KRON 4 just had a good bit about it on the news.  Mom pleading for her return.  It showed the Microtel across the street and there were semi trucks parked in the lot.  They said they are going over surveillance cameras to see if she got in any trucks.  There was just a press conference, and they said they would be back at 10:30 with more.

Thanks Spring!

According to family, police and neighbors, this is what is known about Sandra's last moments before disappearing:

Jose Chavez, the girl's grandfather, said he picked Sandra up from school about 2:45 p.m. Friday and brought her home. Her mother, grandmother and three siblings were at the house, he said.

When she got home, Sandra left to play with a little girl named Kassandra in a home across the trailer park.

The girls played on a wooden swing tied to a tree in front of the house. They sat on the stoop and scribbled with crayons. They went inside and watched some of the movie "Flubber."

Then Kassandra told her mother, Maria Diaz, that Sandra had to go home to do homework, the 36-year-old mother told The Record.

Quoting myself because the more I read this the more it doesnt make sense....at one point someone saw every little detail of what Sandra was doing then *poof* she was gone and no one saw anything??

I know Leroy, it isn't adding up.

I missed the 10:30 update    Sorry about that!

It looked like the army was showing up last night on the news.. There must have been more then 20 vehicles that entered the trailer park..

You would think they are on to something.. When they took off to raid a house in Tracy and then off to Oakdale which is about 60 miles away I was sure they had something..
But so far LE denies anything .. Just searching and interviewing people of interest.

It feels like they are close to finding out what has happened, at least I hope so.

i hope Sheneman is right and Sandra is found alive and well....and SOON!

Four of the search warrants were served inside the mobile home park, and the others were served in Tracy and Oakdale (Stanislaus County), Sheneman said. All items collected during the searches were taken to an FBI laboratory in Sacramento for analysis, he said.
