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

[cookie]

lots of kids have allergies/asthma and they still play, participate in sports etc...even if this little girl couldn't do a lot of running around, she could still sit outside with the kids and socialize with them I would think...she must have been a lonely child...and bless little Sandra who went to visit her when she could have been outside playing with the other children...sweet child...

[Blink34]

For some reason I still feel that she is covering for someone or someones.  It could be her own child, her grandfather, sig-other, a porn ring of persons.....I just do not buy that this woman is the only responsible person/party for Sandra's demise.

Nor do I Dolce. Add to that they are back at the church and her home today. Not adding up.

ps. hey +2 babies!

[no rose colored glasses]

I heard on one of the HLN programs today that MH's daughter was always kept inside...she did not go outside to play with the other children...Sandra came over to play with the little girl, but it was always inside...She is supposedly skinny and has allergies? <someone on the show said that.....Most children want to be outside when it is bright and sunny out...something is wrong that this little kid was always kept inside imo....especially when other children are outside playing and she is stuck in the house by herself? how sad....

If that is true about the allergies, as a child I had severe allergies, and I could not do a lot of things other kids were able to, put I wasn't kept in the house like a prisoner. But maybe with the allergies she also has asthma, and couldn't run and do like the other kids, which I also had, and it is hard on a child.

That is possible, but my son has allergies and asthma, there are pretty good controller medications for asthma and allergies, I have never kept him inside and not allowed him to play. I think it is weird that the child was not allowed to go outside and play, and I wonder why she wasn't allowed to do so. Maybe the child did not like to go outside and play, but maybe there is something more there.

I'm going to think there is something more there, and you are right now they have better and more effective medications for allergies and asthma. But you would think that the grandparents would have maybe took the child out some, I am at a loss with this.

Why in the world would they need to go back to the church and home, you would think that they had done a thorough job and especially considering their was a service Sunday in that church. Could Melissa have said something more to bring LE back to search?

Per KCRA3

STOCKTON, Calif. -- Two new search warrants were issued Tuesday in relation to the Sandra Cantu case.

The focus of one warrant was the West Clover Road Baptist Church and the other was the residence of 28-year-old Melissa Huckaby, who is accused of killing 8-year-old Cantu.

The search of the church was completed and officers said the search of Huckaby's home is still under way.

Officials have not said what prompted the new search warrants.

Thank-you, interesting...

Could they still be looking for the "murder weapon"?? Or perhaps part the autophsy was released, and they have a more specific item that they are looking to categorize as the weapon.  Just speculation, as we all are doing.

But wasn't it said that she was questioned by authorities when she took her daughter, and another child to the park several times?  The child had to be out at that time.  Is this rumor or truth that she wasn't allowed outside?

My 10 yr old has asthma and allergies also..Shes medicated and keeps her inhaler close by..We go outside ride bikes, swim,basketball soccer you name it...If her asthma starts we take alittle break use the inhaler and we continue on..I have severe allergies so if its windy we stay in other than that we are outside.. I dont understand if the child has allergies that bad why wouldnt she be medicated in order to live life instead of being cooped up in the house...Im not buying that story sorry..I think she wanted to keep her quiet..JMO

Sources: Huckaby Claims Cantu Death 'An Accident'

TRACY, Calif. -- KCRA 3 has learned that investigators close to the case said Melissa Huckaby admitted Tuesday that Sandra Cantu's death was an accident.

Investigators also told KCRA 3 that Huckaby said she wrote the note she said she found the day after Cantu's disappearance.

According to Huckaby, the note said, "Cantu, Suitcase, Water. The word 'suitcase' was misspelled, and there were two street names including the word 'Whitehall.'"

Two new search warrants were issued Tuesday in relation to the case.

The focus of one warrant was the West Clover Road Baptist Church and the other was for the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park home where Huckaby, 28, lived.

Huckaby is accused of killing the 8-year-old.

The search of the church was completed, but officers said the search of Huckaby's home is still under way.

Huckaby, who is Sunday school teacher at the church, was arrested late Friday, four days after Cantu's body was found stuffed in a suitcase in an irrigation pond north of Tracy.

Huckaby told a Tracy Press reporter the suitcase was hers but it had been stolen the day Cantu went missing.

"I wish they could have found her a lot sooner, if they would have followed up on this a lot sooner," Huckaby said earlier Friday before her arrest.

Authorities have not said how or where Cantu was killed. They have not discussed a possible motive. But the official court complaint suggested the child was killed on or about March 27, the day she was reported missing from Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park.

Huckaby did not enter a plea when she faced a judge in a Stockton courtroom Tuesday.

A public defender was assigned to her. She will next appear in court on April 24 for further arraignment.

The special circumstances in a complaint filed Tuesday make Huckaby eligible for the death penalty if prosecutors choose to pursue that option.

Hi, Monkies.  I am a frequent lurker, infrequent poster. 

Here is what I am wondering.  The family admitted that MH had a rough patch and thus moved in with her grandparents to get back on track.  So perhaps the thinner picture of her was taken during this "rough patch" and maybe she was taking drugs at that time.  So getting back on track consisted of getting off the drugs (and maybe going onto antidepressant medicine) which caused the weight gain.

What if her daughter was molested during this period of drug use.  Either by MH for money or drugs, or she allowed her supplier to molest the daughter for drugs, or by a boyfriend while MH was out of it.  Could there be a threat to her daughter so that MH keeps her inside?  If a porn ring is involved, could they be pressuring/blackmailing her and so out of guilt for what has happened to her daughter, she victimized Sandra?  To keep them at bay? 

It is nearly impossible for me to imagine that she did this to satisfy some sick inner need.  I think she drugged Sandra, proceeded to take a video and Sandra died of an overdose.  In this manner, she did indeed act alone.  It's horrific and it's disgusting and my theory above in no way excuses her so I hope it doesn't read that way. 

Just my opinion, of course. 

[theboyzmom]

I just watched the court appearance- thanks for posting that. My opinion of her is someone that is trying to show emotion and knows she should, but is not sure how to do it. Perhaps that is because of meds or perhaps it is because of an underlying mental illness. Either way it is clear to me that she does not have much emotional intelligence or understanding.

Also, I firmly believe that any mental illness or deficit she may have does not excuse her. She obviously knows right from wrong, even if she can not control her impulses to do wrong. She is still responsible for her actions and must pay the price for it.

I am sure they are looking for something specific, not sure what or how they know what they are looking for. Could be something from the autopsy, maybe MH or someone else talked.

[klaasend]

Like I said earlier, premeditated rape/abuse, accidental death...maybe.  I still think someone else is involved.

Perhaps a prescription? Ugh, I think it is most likely more sinister then that though.

[Tams]

the more I hear and the more I think about this crime...I just can not wrap my brain around it...it is so horrific that I can't even begin to comprehend how this woman's mind works....

Me, either, Cooklie.

It doesn't make sense to me, just doesn't add up.  Unless there is a male involved somewhere.  I don't mean males are always the source of all evil and certainly we have seen all those cases of female teachers having sex with underaged males, etc.

But still. . . . . .

Well, maybe we can get more information or there will be a leak or two before the gag orders are put in place for I believe they will be on the 24th.

I hope so as I do need much more information to process this.  Just does not compute in my mind.

I agree with both of you.  I was trying to wrap my brain around this last night and here's what doesn't add up for me:
MH has a known history of romantic/sexual relationships with men.  We haven't heard anything about her having that type of relationship with women.  I understand that pedophile doesn't equal homosexual...but it doesn't make sense that she's wired to want sex with grown men and little girls.  Does that make any sense?

It isn't about MH wanting to have sex with girls... it's more likely about MH performing an act, probably for photo/video reproduction, for sale or distribution to the sickos of the pedophile world. . . most likely via a group/ring that she is a part of. (And it is seeming more and more probable that that may include family/congregation/neighborhood persons.) Wouldn't be surprised at all if she has had the same done to her throughout her childhood, thus essentially being 'brainwashed' into this group/cult/societies' behavior. She did not do this alone, IMHO. But the fact that she botched her role in whatever the plan was for Sandra - which most probably did not include death - means that she is taking the fall. Hopefully she will begin to purge everything she knows.

That could be, I'm sure open to different theories. She has admitted that this was an accident, lets see where this is going, I think she must have given more details to LE today, thus the search warrants going back to the church and home.

Since LE is going back to the church and home, are you thinking the grandparents, which is a possibility, maybe Fred Williams, but if that were the case, wouldn't LE be going to his home?
