There has been an arrest made in the case of Sandra Cantu, the murdered 8-year-old girl that went missing last month in California. The suspect is a neighbor- the mother of Sandra's friend and a Sunday school teacher at the local church.

The mystery surrounding Sandra Cantu's disappearance and the tragedy of her subsequent discovery has been analyzed and discussed by the media and law-enforcement for weeks. It is a sad reality that cases such as this have a way of creating a sense of infamy among the participants. Hence Sandra Cantu's name and image becoming commonplace across our TV's, newspapers and computer screens. Hence our common disgust and shared outrage.

So it is that 28-year-old Melissa Huckaby will be etched into our collective conscience- a nobody from nowhere that allegedly committed a crime of such gruesome magnitude that the media cannot help but serve her life story up on a silver platter. Her face will be everywhere and it will be too late for Sandra Cantu.

Huckaby is in the San Joaquin County Jail, booked on charges of kidnapping and murder.

Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Sandra.
