According to court filings, Johnny Huckaby alleges that his ex-wife, Melissa Huckaby swallowed three razor blades in a suicide attempt just prior to her arrest on Apr. 10.
Just prior to her arrest for the abduction, rape, and murder of Sandra Cantu, Melissa told the Tracy Press she was hospitalized for internal bleeding, but would not elaborate on her condition.
Johnny is currently in a battle with Melissa’s mother, Judy Lawless for the custody of their 5-year-old daughter Madison.
Johnny also indicates that Melissa forged her mother’s signature on legal documents and lied in their divorce papers when she accused Johnny of physically abusing her and using drugs.
His plea to obtain custody of his daughter also says that due to the horrific charges that sent Melissa to jail, he should be entitled to custody of his daughter.
Johnny won custody of Madison last month, however, Orange County Commissioner Walter Posey reversed the decision after Melissa’s mother begged the court to allow her to keep Madison at her home because the child is “sickly.”
Lawless claims Johnny is a deadbeat dad. “There were also issues of drugs, alcohol and possibly domestic violence in this case,” she indicated in a court declaration from April 22.
“From the time Madison was 1-year-old up to now, she has had virtually no contact with her father. I do not believe it is in our granddaughter’s best interests to be placed with somebody she does not know,” said Lawless.
Johnny said he tried to see his daughter several times over the past couple of years, but Lawless told him if he continued to try to see Madison she would take her away to Oregon and “disappear.”
He also said that Lawless told Madison she was conceived through artificial insemination, which indicated to him that she did not want his daughter to know he existed.
A custody hearing is scheduled for July 6.
