Video Sandra Cantu case: Child abuse at Washington church where Huckaby's grandfather was pastor


Lane Lawless, grandfather of Melissa Huckaby accused of the murder of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.

A Clarkston, Wash. church where Melissa Huckaby’s grandfather was once pastor is being looked at by the FBI. 

Lane Lawless is now the pastor of the Clover Lane Baptist church in Tracy, Calif., which was cordoned off as a crime scene in the Sandra Cantu case earlier this month.

Lawless' granddaughter, Huckaby has been charged with the abduction, rape, and murder of the little girl.  Sources say Huckaby may have killed Sandra at the Tracy church. 

In the 1980s, when Lawless was the pastor of the church in Washington, there were allegations of child molestation. 

Authorities say Lawless was never arrested or charged in connection with the abuse allegations.

Huckaby and her 5-year-old daughter lived with Lawless and his wife in the same mobile home park as the Cantu family.

    just look at that pix of huckaby's grandfather, doesn't he look much too perfect that there's not a sin in his olden bones? the use of religion is to control the masses and make them give tithes, which is another way of giving the church tax free money to spend as they wish. maybe there shouldn't be a separation between state and church because they're like invisible corporations. they became men or women of God so they don't have to work for a living, espousing heaven and hell fire scaring the jesus out of people.

    KCRA stpped back from these allegations the same day they made them. There were no records he was the pastor in WA, and the FBI was actually asking about someone else.

    Lane Lawless was never the pastor of an Assembly of God church in Washington, or any church in Washington. This is an incredibly misleading and inaccurate story that needs to be removed.
