Teacher arrested in killing of girl
Posted by kayms99 on April 11, 2009
(CNN) — Police have arrested a Sunday-school teacher in the killing of California 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, authorities said early Saturday.Melissa Huckaby was arrested on charges of kidnapping and murder, according to Tracy, California, police Sgt. Tony Sheneman.
Police would not reveal what led to Huckaby’s arrest, but said it followed questioning. They did not offer a possible motive.
Huckaby lived in the same mobile home park as Sandra’s family, and Sandra was friends with Huckaby’s daughter, Sheneman said.
Sandra’s body was found Monday, stuffed into a suitcase in a dairy-farm pond. The girl, from Tracy, had been missing since March 27. The suitcase that held Sandra’s body belonged to Huckaby, Sheneman said.
Police have had contact with Huckaby before, but she does not have a record of violence, Sheneman said, without offering further details.
An autopsy was conducted on Sandra’s body on Tuesday. Autopsy results are not expected for four to six weeks, CNN affiliate KRON-TV reported earlier in the week, citing the coroner’s office.
Police have conducted hundreds of interviews in the case.
The church’s pastor, Lane Lawless, and his wife, Connie, spoke to KRON as they drove by the church Tuesday. Lawless said police had seized computers, phones and other items from his family’s trailer, located in the same park as Sandra’s family. He said his great-granddaughter regularly played with Sandra.
“We’ve been in the park for 13 years, and we’ve known her and her sister since before they were born,” Connie Lawless told KRON. “So they’re like children to us; they’re like our children.”
The day Sandra was last reported seen, she returned home from school, kissed her mother and left to play with a friend who lives nearby. A short time later, wearing a pink Hello Kitty T-shirt and black leggings, she left to go to another friend’s home, according to a family spokeswoman.

Find out what kind of previous “help” she was getting from her doctors and what kind of prescription drugs they had her on and you will find the answer to what caused her dis-association with humanity, as always.

Gene, that is true. But the powerful drugs being dispensed so easily require far more follow up than is typically being given. And some of these people are left more messed up and disconnected than ever. If you research it you find that events such as this and the mass killings have risen dramatically since the advent of these types of drugs. And they are almost always a component.

I think they have a story about that on this link, http://www.wnd.com/ or the man that runs this link, It’s an internet romour being spread by right wing christian groups. i first heard of this story on Keith Olbermann’s fantastic, informative exposes of what the right wing is really up to to destroy and undermine our great Constitution. I, too, am curious about the moniker of Obama the Antichrist, is that what you believe?

English is not my mothertongue, of course, but I notice that on the purely grammatical point of view, “stupid” is an adjective associated to “french people”
“ugly morality” was not in the same post, and not even on the same subject. Gee, I have to check my english manual, but I’m afraid it was written before the invention of the internet… So, you have new lexical rules now?
