Sunday School Teacher Arrested In Sandra Cantu Murder Case
Melissa Huckaby who is a Sunday school teacher in Tracy, California and the granddaughter of the Pastor of the church which was extensively searched by police, was arrested Friday evening at 11:55 pm. She is the only suspect in the case and is being held without bail at the San Joaquin jail. She told police that her suitcase, the one in which Sandra’s body was found, had disappeared the day of the murder. Her story to police was full of inconsistencies and her demeanor erratic during questioning. Her daughter and Sandra would play together as they were neighbors. Huckaby says Sandra went to their home on the day she disappeared to play with their daughter when Huckaby turned her away. Right now Huckaby is the only suspect.
Sandra’s family is relieved that she has been arrested however they want to know why, as do all of us.
This is the latest news. I will continue to post as events unfold. You can find more on the ABC7News website.
