Sources confirmed to Fox 40 they believe Melissa Huckaby killed 8-year-old Sandra Cantu at the Clover Baptist Church. Huckaby’s grandfather, Clifford Lane Lawless is the pastor of the church.
Huckaby and her 5-year-old daughter lived with Lawless and his wife in the same mobile home park where Sandra lived with her family.
Sandra disappeared March 27, and her body was discovered Apr. 6 inside a suitcase found in a drained irrigation ditch just north of Tracy, California. The suitcase belonged to Huckaby.
Huckaby was arraigned Tuesday on charges of murder, kidnapping, rape, and lewd and lascivious acts with a child, but did not enter a plea.
The matter has been continued to Apr. 24.
