(04-06) 21:03 PDT Tracy -- Police in Tracy announced tonight that they found the remains of a child who went missing 10 days ago inside a black suitcase that was discovered earlier today floating in an irrigation pond.

Sandra Cantu vanished March 27 after telling her mother she was going to a friend's home to play.

The suitcase was found by farm workers at about 10 a.m. as they were draining the pond at a dairy farm on Bacchetti Road in Tracy. The location is about two miles from Cantu's home.

Witnesses told investigators the suitcase was not there when they drained the same pond about two weeks ago.

Cantu disappeared from the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park 10 days prior. The last official sighting of her was on a surveillance video taped that afternoon, showing her skipping outside her home.

May her little soul rest in peace and may the Son of a Bitch that did this suffer a long slow death.

Find the sob, stuff him in a suitcase, and throw him in a drainage ditch to drown slowly. Still would be too food for him.

You said — Find the bastard and hang him. No need for a trial

The reason for trials is to make sure that you’ve got the right person...

How sickening. Prayers for the repose of her soul, and comfort and strength for her family.

A prayer for justice for the subhuman who would visit such harm to an innocent.

Sometimes.

Sometimes it's to make sure the guy with money/connections walks.

Yep, 15 minutes in a locked room with me this animal and a baseball bat and I’ll save the taxpayers all but the room cleanup and body disposal bill...

I was afraid that she had been murdered, but had been praying that she would be found alive. So sorry to hear it, and prayers up for the family.
