[AngelOfDarkness]

Sandra Cantu had been missing since March 27, and her body was found Monday, stuffed into a suitcase that was raised from a pond at a dairy farm. An autopsy was being conducted Tuesday, Tracy police Sgt. Tony Sheneman told reporters, but he said he did not know when results would be available.

So tragic, she was a beautiful little girl. What's with the slew of people murdering young girls today?

Why I oppose gun control

One of the reasons I oppose gun control...I hope the lowest of the low enjoys his moment in the prison shower...

Such evil exists in this world.

Police have arrested a Sunday-school teacher in the killing of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, and say the woman owned the suitcase that held the California girl's body.

Let's hope they got the right person.

Update.

CNN reporting that the woman arrested has admitted that she was the owner of the suitcase that the child's body was found in. Also charges of lewd behavior with a child have been filed against the same woman.

 

[steph]

Yep, they're charging her with rape and molestation as well. On the upside, this particular DA is very well known locally here for his death penalty cases. He will ask for special circumstances and a certain change of venue and Huckabee will be exterminated.

She raped that little girl before killing her? That's just...repulsive. Why doesn't anything good ever come from the news anymore?

 

[steph]

Apparently, yes. Those are the charges against her. Along with kidnapping and a bunch of other stuff. That one in particular seems to be having the most effect on people around here. Almost moreso than the murder I think.

Because bad news sells better. As the old newspaper saying goes, if it bleeds, it leads.

But, we do see good news when it's really, really spectacular - like a captain rescued from pirates or a pilot landing a jetliner on the Delaware River.

Just an update for anyone with the time or the stomach to watch (I have neither) the funeral will stream live tomorrow at 1 pacific on our local, kcra.com. Rest in peace little one...

as a parent this makes you truly scared to trust anyone. I always tell my son it is not you I don't trust but this crazy sick world out there..

 

[steph]

I know, right? We used to think those parents that put their kids on a leash were crazy but if I had any these days, I might be tempted to do the same thing.

It's not bad enough that that poor baby died, but it was at the hands of a woman? She raped the child, killed her, dumped her in a suitcase? WTF is wrong with people nowadays??

I wish we didn't have to spend money and much needed resources on her. Why should she even get a trial?? She puts the violent part of my imagination in overdrive. I say, boil her in oil on the town square and stream it on the internet to fulfill morbid curiosity seekers! Why even waste tax dollars on a trial and housing her disgusting despicable ass for the next 40 years?

Yeah, I'm just a little angry.......

might not come to that, they are seeking the death penalty

 

[AngelOfDarkness]

I saw snippets of the film of her funeral- absolutely devastating to see that little casket in the horse-drawn carriage. 🙁

May her killer rot in hell.

The death penalty??

I have a real easy solution for her; give her the trial since the law dictates such but when she's convicted just take her to the courthouse steps and shoot her down like she deserves.

Actually, that's too kind; put her in a cell with Big Mamma with the tattoos and the propensity for women! She could be assaulted with a broomstick for the rest of her miserable life for all I care.

I've lost tolerance for anyone who does crap like this. But when you do it to a child, all sorts of violent urges flare up in me!
