Tracy, California- A judge in the Sandra Cantu murder case has ordered a seal of the autopsy/toxicology report due to concerns over a public outrage. Like it wasn’t enough the facts already involved in this case. Now we have sealed evidence of the cause and manner of death due to a concern over public outrage? I wonder if they spared Sandra’s poor mother from the contents of the reports. What was so horrendous about the reports that would warrant a public outrage? Are they just doing this to save the community and the nation heartache? Or is it terrible news?
Melissa Huckaby stands charged with murder with special circumstances of rape with a foreign object, lewd and lavicous acts against a minor under fourteen and murder during the course of kidnapping. Investigators have stated that they believe Huckaby worked alone that there is no other suspects. It was reported that Huckaby swallowed three utility knife blades soon after investigators questioned her regarding Sandra. She was reported to of had to go to the hospital for internal bleeding. It has also been reported that Huckaby said that Sandra’s death was an accident. At her arraignment she didnt enter a plea. She sobbed during that court appearance. Her defense wanted to have the body of Sandra exhumed a mere day or so after she was drawn by horse and carraige to her bodies final resting place. Just a day or so after. It was reported that they changed their minds due to the forensic tissue and evidence preserved by investigators. The only people who have come forward to defend Melissa is her family and ex husband. Well all that I have read or seen anyhow. Huckaby is a mother she was a Sunday school teacher.
There is another situation revolving around Huckaby that may cause some trouble for her. There is a family accusing her of taking there daughter to the “park” and returning her four hours later in a drug like state. The parents took there child to the emergency room for immediate care. Doctors uncovered the child had been drugged with a muscle relaxer. Doctors said it could cause black outs. Was this reported? It’s been said that investigators are going to link this to Sandra’s murder. They have asked the public of Tracy if any child has had inappropriate contact with Huckaby. Melissa Huckaby is a child predator. If I am wrong and she is covering for someone I will admit it. I dont think she is. Besides school teachers bedding down with teenagers this is the first female child predator I have heard of in my lifetime. I plan on following Huckaby through her arrest, trial, and conviction. For Sandra, for all the children for everyone to see that what a monster she is and that it is out there. This is the tip of the iceberg. We have been introduced to the new form of child predator. I will not candy coat this or blow merry sunshine for no one. I dont believe that Sandra or this child are just coincidences. Huckaby is where she needs to be behind bars. Away from innocent, naive, care free children. All of our children are safer with her locked behind bars. Alongside Shasta and Dylan Groene’s predator and all those other sick whack jobs who invade the privacy of our children. I for one am elated to see her off the streets. I will also be more then happy to report on her conviction and sentence.
To me it’s the most akward event since my existance or what I can remember of it anyhow. Melissa Huckaby is one of the most monsterous people I have ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on. What she has done to the girl she drugged, and to Sandra and only God knows how many others she has victimized is unacceptable. I want to fully see her punished for her atrocities and vulgerness where our children are concerned. I will keep up to date on her journey through California’s legal system. Its interesting to say the least. How or why a mother could do that to another living being. Especially a child. A young child, one who was so free and full of life. Not just one child, it may not be the same circumstances as death, never the less what she did to the other girl is a pattern of abuse. I saw Huckaby’s mug shot her eyes say it all. You’d have to be blind not to see it. Please stay with me as we journey through the trial of Sandra Cantu’s murderer. After its all said and done and we’re good and dirty, we can wash ourselves clean of her filth and go on about our days free as daffodils. Huckaby, she will be long and forgotten to live a horrible meager existance inside a federal state prison. She may be forgotten But Sandra never will. God bless little Miss Sandra Cantu and her family all that were blessed by her presence God bless you all.
Please read and sign this petition to create tougher laws and sentences for child predators. Thank you for your voice!

God love her sweet Sandra dieing at that hands of an evil Monster,
Heaven knows what she did to her, we dont know what she went through ,

I found it and I have to agree great article girl! It says what we all want to say, i agree so wholeheartedly, that this has to be the most hardest typce of killing to stomach, its not just the murder of this child its another mothers child, stolem, preyed upon, victmized and traumatized, like it was her right to do so… its just unspeakable, the casey anthonys are all over out there, mothers who don’t want their kids and kill even to rid themselves this huckaby freak monster bitch is not even worthy of anything, and if I hear one thing about allergies again i will flip out, the bottom line is she is mentally and physically not able to stand among us other “human” beings… ok my rant is over I could go on, but this is one case I cannot take hearing the details, and in most cases i dont walways agree with the death penalty but in this case, I just dont know what else to do with her..
I hope while in Prison, Melissa Huckaby gets the same thing done to her ,,,I will Pray ..
Thank YOU all of YOU!! ♥
Hi nana, I spoke about it before, I had to just get this case off m mind it bothered me sooo much. cases too but this one , the details, a MOM for gods sake of a 5 year old, i hate eveything about it, the stalking preying, sneakiness, etc and then having the dam guts to say it was an accident? How did she rape and kill by accident? like pickles said a true whack job I’m alos outraged the other childs incident fell through the f ing cracks that noone protected her either and then maybe this would not have happend to sandra just playing and living her last days skipping on that dam video
see i get emotional about this one… so yah if they think that it would risk public outrage i have to agree it WILL!!!!
If she did to Sandra what I think she may have done OMG…I cant say what I want done to her i’d get the boot .
me neither nana lol i seldom write my true words for the cussing first of all…LOL
I mean this case, well, Like i said before I hope GOD has a hold of this womans shoulder sandras mother. I dont know how anyone could go on after something like this. I feel AWFUL for her. just awful
I also feel justice will come quick and swift and it won’t be no anythony reality trial show…

ok movin
HOW can anyone do such a thing ? it has to be done to her in return , if the autopsy is revealed it might send a message to some other nuts ,,
we had a case here In one of the Provinces where a mother strangled her 12 year old daughter a sweet beautiful looking girl the mother monster says her daughter was saying MOM? MOM the Judge Said at her sentencing we will remove your title the name (Mother)
UGH nana
I’m movin over to simons newest article about the show come on over guys lorim you too..
crimanie I’m zoning here…on my way
Pickles, Bravo! Well done. You told the truth, you won’t get any argument from anyone!
This woman has taken a little girl’s life in a horrific way, devastated a family, blighted a community and saddened the whole country, and then some (our friends in Ireland, Australia and Canada, who comment on the outrage).
Get her out of here – good riddance to bad rubbish.
Pickles, reading what you had to say about the Sandra Cantu case and the animal who took her life, I commend you for the restraint you showed. I honestly don’t know how you managed to maintain your composure.
Hulk a hoe is not the first female predator. She is however, the first one I know about with a young, same sex child of her own. I can’t help but wonder, how much abuse her own little girl has endured. I would not be surprised in the least, as the details unfold, to hear of several more children, she is guilty of assaulting.
The details of her actions are sealed because of the fear of outrage. Well Judge have no fear, we are already outraged!!! Sealing the records is not going to stop it. It seems to me, by sealing the records, the only one protected from the outrage, is the monster who already knows what she did. Sandra, her family, and the public have NOT been spared the outrage. To deny us the additional information detailing specific acts does not protect anyone except the predator.
Sandra Cantu was an innocent and beautiful little girl. The female who sits in jail for this crime, had no concern about the outrage while she was hurting and murdering this baby.
It makes me sick in my soul, knowing the judge can protect Hulk a hoe from the outrage, but nobody could protect Sandra from her.
Pickles great article, I just don’t know how you were able to restrain yourself. I couldn’t do it. Which is why you are the writer and I am the reader. Good job.
Morning, AnneA! I feel the same way about the judge seeming to protect sicko Huck a hoe by sealing the details of poor Sandra’s horrific death. but maybe we could try to look at it in a positive light.
Generally speaking I am sick to death of criminals walking on a “technicality.” Often there is good solid evidence the person is guilty but they’ll get off because of some really minor thing – like cops going in to a place to search five minutes before the warrant got in their hands. (just an example)
To me that should not get the criminal off. That is too high a price for society and LE to pay. Some other penalty could be imposed to discourage LE and prosecutors from making mistakes but NEVER let a criminal off.
All that is by way of saying that I believe that is one of the reasons the Judge sealed the details for fear of tainting the jury pool. MEANING that he felt he would be handing the defense perfect excuses that could lead to getting Sicko Huckahoe off! And I’m all for preventing that.
We’re already hearing Bozo’s constant complaints that Maggot won’t get a fair trial. It is within the realm of possibility that somewhere down the road that could become a serious issue and I sure would hate to see her get a second trial or, worse, walk because of Florida’s own sunshine laws.
It’s a fine line but in Huckaho’s case maybe the judge made the right call to help ensure that she will get convicted and not have the benefit of any loopholes.
PS. Because that info may be sealed from the public now but it WILL be presented to the jury and that’s where it counts!
Oh, to clarify. Sometimes the criminal doesn’t exactly get away with it but crucial evidence can be excluded. With the example above, if the cops went into a place five minutes before they had the warrant in their hands, and they found the murder weapon, the murder weapon could be excluded as evidence. To me that’s too high a price to pay for LE goofing. Way too high a price to pay.
i am lost. can’t find anybody. if you stop by and know where we might be, please leave my a clue.
Good Morning All…..AnneA, I don’t believe the judge sealed the autopsy and toxicology reports in any way to protect Huckaby from public outrage. It appears the details are so horrible, he has to be concerned about tainting the jury pool.
My blood runs cold when I hear that the details of her death are so horrible. Considering the fact that her little body was so badly decomposed that she had to be identified by dental records makes me wonder if something was found lodged inside her body. How many others have fallen prey to her abuse? Medicate and abuse appears to be her m.o. I heard (read) of that other poor child, but I’m convinced there are others before Sandra.
Sandra is safe from the evils of this world at the hand of this monster. Let’s pray for the family who is living with this nightmare of losing their child.
This ruling is puzzling. Just who is being protected from “public outrage?” If the facts warrant, the public is ENTITLED to be outraged by the brutal murder of a child. Is the judge protecting the defendant? Oh well, at least the sealing of documents and gag order will have to be lifted at trial and then this disgusting sub-human piece of filth will be exposed for what she is.
Pammie7 thank you very much I absolutly agree with you!! Exposed for what she is….Thats the truth…..
Stone,
Excellent writing as usual. Thank you for saying what so many want to say.
One can only hope that Sandra’s parents were protected from the details of her death. Personally, I think the town ‘should’ be outraged by what Huckaby did. She is afterall a child predator.
Thank YOU Sprite for your kind words! She is a child predator nothing less. I too hope that her family was spared the terror and horror of the reports.
Huckaby actions also fit a psychotic mother who decided (paranoia?) other children where corrupting her own child. If the corruption was of a sexual nature….
Well Lorraine Bobbit was just one example that stressed out women are actually likely to take revenge in a violent and explicit sexual manner.
It is also known that overprotective mothers often see the children of other women as less than human — especially religious fanatic women.
So perception that another child whispered a dirty joke to Huckaby’s child might result in Huckaby using a curling iron to mutilate the responsible child.
Agreed.
When a women cuts off a man’s penis you think sexual desire? I think the same applies here even if the victim is a child. Her actions speak of outraged/insane levels of punishment not desire.
This woman sounds like she hears an insane religious calling to punish corrupt children. Most likely the sexual mutilation points to an obsession with sexual corruption blamed on the child.
I suppose this woman could have felt these children were tempting her…but it is just as likely that she found out that they were submitting to a family molester. Or maybe they told dirty jokes or just expressed a fairly normal child’s crush on another child.
On the other hand the public mob is also getting smarter on manipulating for the punishment desired. Prosecution based on a motive of delusions and insane levels of corporal punishment send her to an asylum. If the mob wants blood the wise prosecutor says sexual molestor motives and laws apply instead. And for all practical purposes the burden of proof as to motive actually falls the defense. In fact sanity is assumed unless the defense meets the explicitly legal burden of proof.
Personally I don’t think insanity should be a defense unless it can also be proven as permanently curable. The law needs to deal with what the accused “IS” not what we wish they were like. Inability to tell right from wrong is evidence toward likelihood of committing a crime – not a defense. Historically the insanity defense originates in the wealthy and influential class.
I do enjoy getting updates on this, being a formerly abused child, we all want the perp. to fall under the blade of justice (yes, bad pun). Being a writer, I take pleasure in helping fellow artists of verbosity.
My only critique here would be to watch your synonyms and comma usage…. esp. there (place), their (possessive), they’re (conjunction).
Keep writing!

Here’s another female child predator:-
Former Washington Teacher Convicted Of Kidnapping & Raping 10-Year-Old Boy
04/21/09
A Pierce County, Washington judge on Monday convicted Jennifer L. Rice of kidnapping and raping a 10-year-old boy she taught at Tacoma’s McKinley Elementary School two years ago.
Superior Court Judge D. Gary Steiner also found Rice, 33, guilty of raping the boy’s older brother and ruled one of her crimes was predatory, qualifying her for an extra-long prison sentence.
The former teacher faces more than 25 years in prison when sentenced June 5. Steiner ordered Rice, who’s been in jail since her arrest in summer 2007, to stay there until sentencing.
Rice, the mother of young children, wiped at tears after Steiner made his rulings.
The convictions followed a brief “stipulated facts” trial. Prosecutors and Rice’s defense team agreed to a set of facts in the case, and Steiner reviewed them before making his decision. Rice agreed to the trial instead of a straight plea in order to preserve some of her appellate rights, said her attorney, Gary Clower.
The arrangement was, in essence, a guilty plea by Rice. She admitted she had sexual intercourse with both boys on separate occasions – the older brother was 15 at the time – and that she kidnapped and molested the younger boy, according to court records.
Steiner convicted Rice of four crimes: first-degree kidnapping, first-degree child molestation and two counts of third-degree rape. Steiner found the child-molestation crime was a predatory offense because the victim was one of Rice’s students.
That designation – required when a teacher is accused of certain sex crimes – invokes stiff sentencing requirements: a minimum term of 25 years or the high end of the standard sentencing range, whichever is longer. In Rice’s case, the high end is 261/2 years, according to previously filed court documents.
Prosecutors contended in court documents that Rice began a sexual relationship with the 10-year-old boy that lasted from December 2006 to August 2007, when she sneaked him out of his home and drove him to Ellensburg where they had sex at a rest stop before she returned him home.
Prosecutors also charged her with twice having sex with the boy’s older brother in July 2007.
Rice previously argued that the law that classifies some crimes as predatory is unconstitutional because it wrongly curtails the powers of the state’s prosecutors by restricting their discretion. Steiner rejected that argument in July 2008.
Clower indicated in court that his client might want to renew that argument at the appellate level.
Prosecutors originally charged Rice with 13 crimes but agreed to drop all but four in exchange for her stipulating to the facts Steiner reviewed Monday.
The deal means the victims won’t have to testify in open court while guaranteeing that Rice will get a long sentence, deputy prosecutor Mark Lindquist said.
The victims’ parents last month sued the Tacoma, Bethel and Yelm school districts, contending the districts negligently hired and supervised Rice and didn’t do enough to protect students from her. Rice also taught in the North Thurston School District.
The state has revoked her licenses to teach and work as a counselor.

We haven’t heard the evidence, the only thing tying Huckaby to Cantu was a suitcase that could easily have been stolen, and you are already calling this woman a monster. It’s a lynch mob mentality.
Wait until the case is heard, let the jury decide if she’s guilty, and then tell everyone how awful she is. She could easily be innocent. You said yourself, women child predators are uncommon. Small town police could easily have the wrong person. Don’t forget innocent until proven guilty. You are getting ahead of yourself.
Are woman child predators are rare as you believe Elizabeth?
Female Sex Killers: The Devious Predators
April 30, 2009
Deborah Schurman-Kauflin, PhD
They are the world’s most elusive hunters. Using their looks, their status, and their personalities, female sex killers can be the most difficult to catch. I have studied serial killers all of my adult life and am the only profiler to interview a large group of female serial killers and create their profiles. I work with police on such cases around the United States, and from first- hand experience, I can attest to the fact that female rape murderers are clever.
Though rare, such predators are more common than the general public knows. Why? In most instances, when a female rapes and kills a victim, the act is done in conjunction with a male partner. As such, when caught, the females play innocent and blame the male. This strategy has proven highly effective over the years because people are hesitant to believe that a woman could rape and murder. But it does happen, and sometimes, the female will act alone.
Out of all the interviews I have done with male and female serial killers, the only offender who ever made me uncomfortable was a female sex killer. She had a long history of violence and killed with no remorse. What made her unique is that she was very open about her love for drawing blood using knives, and she said if she ever got out of prison, she would kill again.
These offenders are a unique breed in that they have a real taste for hurting helpless victims. They enjoy the feeling they get when using objects to rape. In fact, female rape killers will often use jagged instruments when they attack. These women are especially brutal with female victims, and almost always, they will mutilate the genitalia. Such women have told me that they chose to hurt their victims so viciously because it turned them on. Like their male counterparts, it was sexually exciting.
To capture their prey, these women use a rouse to trick their victims who are always smaller in size. They use their gender as a cover for their evil intentions because most people find it hard to believe that the fairer sex could rape and kill a child. However, children are not their only victims. Such offenders have been known to target adults since everyone is less wary of a woman. This allows these super predators access to almost any type of victim.
The killers are drawn to traditionally “feminine” jobs such as nursing, caregiving, teaching, or the sex trade. These fields give them natural cover to get close to victims. Like their male counterparts, female sex killers fantasize about rape and murder. However, unlike men, women tend to be less selective about the type of victims they choose. For instance, male sex killers typically prefer certain types of victim such as 20-year-old blondes. But for the women, victim age and gender are less important than opportunity. Female predators search for that which is easy to get. If she works in a nursing home, she may go after the elderly and rape them in their beds. If the woman works as a prostitute, she will target customers. If she teaches, she often sets her sights on students. These women crave what is familiar to them, and they watch their prey over time to assess how easy it would be to attack.
The killers tend to have spotty work histories as well as a string of failed relationships. They dabble in sexual relationships and will try everything from lesbianism to child molestation. Emotionally they find it hard to be “centered,” and family will cover for the women when they engage in strange behavior. In looking at their backgrounds, their life pattern tends to be as follows:
Loneliness
Child abuse (victim of)
Fantasy
Acting out (violent against animals & other children)
Sexually promiscuous
Psychopathic behavior (stealing, fire setting, lying)
Attaching to steady figure (older male)
Increased time alone
Practicing violence
Kidnap
Kill
The interesting part of this pattern is that when looking back, it is easy to see how the women progressed. And there is almost always someone who knew about the increasingly dangerous behavior but did nothing to stop it. There is a tendency in families to hide problems, and those that produce female rape murderers are no exception. The crimes are so aberrant that even those close to these women find it hard to believe that their child/friend/spouse could do such things. The women are well aware of this and use it to their advantage. At every turn, they will plant doubt into the minds of those who question. They will act strange on purpose to try to confuse people. Then they turn on the water works and cry to appear innocent. The thing that tends to be consistent with these killers is that people around them will say that the women were “strange” or “unusual.” Others will even say that the women made them feel uncomfortable at times, but again, because of their gender, people are reluctant to be suspicious.
Once caught, the women go to emotional extremes and will do everything from attempting to seduce investigators to acting out in an almost psychotic like way. When female rape murderers are cornered, they are more likely to talk than other female killers. However, their ‘confessions’ will be self serving and filled with lies. They will be flamboyant and spin tales of their own horrific abuse in order to garner sympathy. However, make no mistake, such women are devious and know exactly what they are doing. They use the rarity of their crimes to hide the truth of what lies beneath their façades. These types of crimes are actually becoming more common, so parents must become educated about this ‘newer’ predator that is stalking their children. As awareness grows, expect to see the discovery of more of these types of crimes. When society realizes what has been hiding in its midst, an innocence will be lost, but protection will be gained. People will be shocked when they discover what happened in the Sandra Cantu murder case. But the horror will provide the necessary wake-up call and education that parents need in order to be forearmed in the future.

How can a woman rape and murder another child? This is not a human at all. Mellisa is just a demon in human form. And I dont even think devils are likt this – they are far better.
My heart aches to think of the child sufering during her last few moments. Definitely ‘rape’ cannot be an accident as the idiotic stupid demon Huckaby claims. Iam very mad at her. Look at her mug shot, she cant look like so evil.
The place for Huckaby is hell, and I would recommend death penalty for her, for the safety of all the children in this earth. Hopefully the court gives the verdict soon.
Hello!
I will be following this case right along with you. At this point, we can only hope that the wheels of justice will put that sick, sick individual away forever. This had made me realize how important it is to monitor our kids at all times when they are away from home. Going out to play has become a far too risky. I started a blog findourkids.blogspot.com with information on devices available to parents. What happened to litte Sandra Cantu will break my heart for all of my days. My goal is now to protect kids before they fall into a preditors hands.
Hello Kim and CT THANK YOU for reading my articles and following me thru the dirt to the end Its going to be fun her next court appearance is tomorrow May 11th for her plea I think is waht I read..
THANK YOU
♥ Stone =>
So the mother of the child, the child and Huckabee all live in the same Orchard Estates place. And Huckabee tries to poison a guy who is found crashed into a McDonald’s near the Orchard Estates? What are these people doing with this child? Huckabee takes the child to the church and kills her in the church? That seems like a dumb place to commit a crime.
If I were the police I look at the Catholic model for this type of thing and start asking how many other children may have been abused at this church and what men may have been visiting this child.
They do nothing, they protect them. Don’t be fooled into thinking she’s the only one. Schools protect them, don’t tell the parents. I know of a female who is now 14, and from the age of at least 5 to the age of 11 has molested at least 30 children, will never know the total number. She has followed little children into public bathrooms, she has sat with them on the school bus, she has stalked them,threatened them and tried to kill, still, they do nothing, she’s also killed animals, and tortured them, still, they do nothing and yet they ALL know. It’s everyone’s secret. Where do they go when you know they can’t be fixed? NOWHERE? Not one facility in America is equipped with security enough to hold this one. So those who foolishly welcomed this child into a a home, even adopted this child, lives a life of confinement. What can you do? Where can you go? Every child is a target, every animal a chance at revenge.
So we wait, for what? No clue,..but in a position as this that’s all you can do.
..MAY 26TH,2010 – STONE YOU THERE ???????!! I DON’T LIKE THEM PUSHING THINGS UNDER THE CARPET… I DON’T LIKE THEM NOT SEEING THE LITTLE CHILD’S PAIN… I FIND THEM UNFAIR & NOT GIVING THE KID JUSTICE… I PRAY TO GOD… I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY… THAT KID … THAT LITTLE KID…….. GOD .
