Sunday School Teacher Turned Killer | Sandra Cantu Case Analysis

[@LINKINservicedog]

We all watched some of your videos on the large screen. Every time I’m at chemo, they all ask if there’s any new videos. Thank u for helping us get thru chemo days. Much love from Kentucky, Lesley and Service Dog Jake. EDIT…..thank u all so much for the comments. I have to gain 30 pounds to have open heart surgery now that I’ve stopped the chemo. Turns out that we need our hearts to live. Go figure. Lol. Your comments have honestly cheered me so much. And my medical service dog Jake has helped me every step of the way. He lays on my bed with me.

Her reporting the suitcase as stolen, was her setting up a reason as to why her suitcase would have a dead child in it and not be her responsibility. She is a not very bright woman who thinks she is clever , trying to get away with assault and murder. The note is ridiculous. Imagine driving past that child skipping along and deciding to kill her.

I don't really think the motivation is confusing here. She wanted to commit an offense of a sexual nature.

[@pathemeleski]

I was actually wondering if Melissa was having these murderous thought about her own daughter but was holding herself back. Then she decided to do it to the other girl so she could get her gratification without harming her daughter.

[@pembrokelove]

I thought I knew this case pretty well, but I was unaware of the earlier case where she took a child without permission (which is kidnapping) and the child returned drugged with muscle relaxers. A Google search tells me that the drug found in her system was actually a benzodiazepine… like alprazolam. I can’t find a source which documents exactly what the drug was beyond “a benzodiazepine”, but it’s suspicious that Sandra was drugged with the same class of drugs. I don’t understand how there was nothing she could be charged with in that case. That child had been reported missing , so the police were aware and involved from the get go. The child was taken to the hospital so quickly that to suggest it had been anyone but Huckaby would be laughable - if her parents had drugged her it would be too soon to level it in the blood properly. It’s not like you swallow a pill and it’s there. The child herself said the only thing she had ingested (that she could recall) was a cup of water Huckaby got her at McDonalds, and she began to feel sick and fuzzy within minutes - typical in cases where a pill is ground and dissolved - and had no memory of events shortly afterwards. Additionally, were those same things reported while she was in custody of a male who did not have permission to take her, there certainly would have been a SANE exam and interview. Knowing what we know now, I have to question if the motive was truly attention or if she was drugging little girls with a sexual motivation. I believe she is a pedophile in all likelihood, and I would be difficult to sway with the evidence before us. Attention seeking was certainly *a* motive, but I think discrediting the likelihood that sexual gratification was *the* is shortsighted and informed by her gender.

[@jhoughjr1]

female pedos do exist. In this day and age it would be far less unlikely I think.

[@mwilson7842]

My thoughts exactly. She would not have shown up on a local state sex offender registry either. Always check your potential neighbors before renting a place, especially is the lower price ranges. Sex offenders aren't usually terribly well off..the ones that get caught early on.

[@mwilson7842]

@@jhoughjr1 yes, more female offenders than we think.

[@sykonymous]

Coming from a local Tracy resident early on in the case I thought the same exact thing, because early on it was noted that after the perpetrator was revealed it was suggested that she had done this before and had history of drugging little girls. Like how’s it not clicking that this bitch is a pedo!!!??

[@pembrokelove]

@@jhoughjr1 yep. I spent much of my career working in civil commitment and LRA programs, worked with dozens - perhaps hundreds - of offenders over the years, and in all that time with all of those offenders, the only time I ever closed a file, called my supervisor, and told them that they could not assign this person to me because I was so disgusted by them that I could not treat them with grace and professionalism… it was a woman. I did work with other female offenders, so it wasn’t her gender that was so off putting - it was her crimes and her refusal to claim any true responsibility for her actions. I saw no way I could counsel her with the combination of the type and severity of her crimes coupled with her refusal to acknowledge the inherent wrongness of them. I still shudder when I think of that file, and that was 20 years ago.

Excellent work Dr Grande. You make an excellent point about jumping to conclusions or tunnel vision. I watch a show on ID about a very successful detective from Colorado, Joe Kenda. I believe one of the reasons he was so very successful at closing murder investigation is because he did NOT ever assume he knew who was guilty from the beginning of a case. He followed the evidence. Of course he’s intelligent and seems to be able to read people too which also helps a lot. I hope more officers follow that way of investigating, it seems jumping to conclusions often leads to cold cases.

[@dawrong1615]

As a parent myself I think it's easy to to take for granted that when you live in a close-knit community with other parents/families that no one around you would be capable of harming your child. This is why I think it's kind of harsh for people to point the finger at parents for not sufficiently protecting their children, as abusers are often experts at hiding who they are. However, at least we now know it's important to be careful no matter how nice your neighbors seem or no matter how safe you think your child is, as we can't really trust anyone.

[@mikeylorene]

I was living in San Jose, CA when this happened, so it was like home news as it unfolded. There was a cry of WHERE IS SANDRA CANTU? by everyone and in all the newspapers. All of us and everyone kept their eyes open hoping to find her somewhere. The suitcase was NOT found floating in the water (how could it with the weight of the contents?) It was at the bottom of a retention pond and owners decided to drain the pond on that day. Several workers were sent to monitor the draining and as the water got to a low level, one of the workers near the location of the suitcase noticed a black lump in the water- when he realized it was a suitcase, he immediately thought about the missing little girl and notified the other workers. The police were called and the rest is history. There is more that happened in this case that no one ever mentions- which brings another theory that is not mentioned by Dr. Grande, but I believe it is what the true motivation (compulsion, really) was/is. The clue is in the news media shots of people being questioned as they drove into the mobile home park during the beginning search for Sandra Cantu- if only Dr. Grande could watch the GRANDFATHER being questioned as he sat in his car on his way into the park- he then might realize what the new theory could be... women usually don't commit crimes of a sexual nature...unless... oh, you say Melissa's mental problems and depression started when she was in 6th grade? Just a little girl acting out, huh?

Is there an irony to the fact that in an area filled with potential offenders, she succumbed to the last person anyone would have imagined would hurt her?

[@dazeyday5699]

I don’t think this is an example of irony. It’s rather an extreme outlier. How often does the Mom and Sunday school teacher next door off her daughter’s playmate? If the police were to start by targeting these people instead of known offenders, it would set crime investigation on its heels. Fortunately in this case, they were able to find the perp and dispense justice.

Another insightful explanation of unusual behavior! If an individual were to begin displaying behavior of this type would it be better for society to exert the required listening processing and ultimately understanding of how someone comes to this or similar behaviour patterns? Would it be better for society if this person were institutionalized and studied? Would it be better to leave them free to do whatever it is they decide is their purpose? Would it be better to study them? Leave them alone? What do "we" do with people who struggle in this manner in the "modern" way?

[@lisamariebonaparte5161]

When I was young, there was a man called the 'Red Cap' Man allegedly a rapist, it was the wierdest thing because my mom would keep an eye on us while we played outside in our yard. We were not allowed to leave it, even though at the time, we were surrounded by several playmates and friends who were also our neighbours. Even after 'Red Cap' died, we were never given that freedom. I am surprised that this little girl was allowed to roam freely in a mobile home community to play, even after an 'incident', where she was kissed. So, when it was suspected that "someone" in the community was responsible for Sandra's death, I was not surprised. Society now has shown that children must be protected AT ALL TIMES. Gone are the days in the 70's, 60's and 50's where children could explore for miles... This is a sad story, but it could have been preventable.

[@kraceynuemann8533]

This is exactly what I always thought when hearing about profiles. They do fit so often... but they are so well known that anyone can just make it look a certain way to point away from themselves.

Congratulations on 1 million subs!!!!! Awesome videos!!!!

Dr. Grande, can you "speculate" as to why the authorities were so quick to label Bob Saget's death an accident considering the autopsy findings? That combined with the widow seeming surprisingly well composed on the talk show circuit and regarding various (alleged) life insurance policies taken out on him? This is pretty unusual, especially when a celebrity is involved. Thanks!

Wondering if you can analyze the Norman McCaster/ Latasha McCaster case which happened in Springfield, IL.

I once lived in Tracy. I knew one of her family members, an Uncle. It was so devastating.

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

I was living there at the time

[@carolynbreeding8329]

Good job 👏

The video of that little girl happily skipping across the road blissfully unaware of her about to occur murder is simply heart-breaking.

[@lisasmith767]

What a beautiful little girl, this story just rips your heart out.

[@livingpoem2live]

thank you for today's video. Please do the video on Lou Pearlman's ponzi scheme

[@phazebeast7373]

I lived in the same city as the victim and I was also near the same age as the girl. I heard the news when the incident happened everyone in my school was talking about it and it was so sad. I think she attended school nearby at that time. It's insane how stuff like this can happen in your own home town.

[@terrifryday3641]

the criminals history was MASSIVE. even before she was suspected by the detectives she was the last one to see Sandra alive... How was she not number one suspect straight away?!?

[@anayapounds1458]

My family and I are very close with Huckaby's grandparents. Huckaby's family are literally the sweetest people I know. It must have been absolutely heartbreaking to not only realize that a little girl was abused & killed, but that it was taken place in a place where the community felt safe and gathered together, but most importantly....in a place of Worship....and by their granddaughter as well 😳🤧 Here are some updates from a few years ago since the incident.... Her grandfather unfortunately passed away due to complications of dementia in 2016, and her grandmother lives with her Uncle in Bellflower Ca. Huckaby's Aunt is my pastor's wife at the church where I currently attend.

Thank you for pointing out that the FBI agent's casual profiling of an entire community is unacceptable. Some people are far too ready to tar everyone with the same brush. Now back to the video.

[@eadweard.]

Which community do we mean in this case - the "criminal record community"?

[@gaiaiulia]

@eb The whole community of yhe trailer park, not just the criminal element. As Dr Grande says it's a cautionary tale about not jumping to conclusions.

[@Raptorman0909]

I think there were several factors that point to psychosis: first, the unemotional affect; second, setting fires; third, inviting the victims sister over for what must be seen as an attempt to take another life.

[@BucketHeadianHagg]

your hair looks nice, Dr Grande

[@angeep178]

This is so sad and heartbreaking for that precious little girl oh God. It's good that the perpetrator is where she belongs, that will never bring that girl back my heart's broken

[@eadweard.]

Can we please have a moratorium on the word "heartbreaking" and its variants?

[@kellyanni5092]

This is sad . Thank you Dr. G😉
