A Sunday school teacher was booked early today on suspicion of murder and kidnapping in the slaying of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, whose body was found in a suitcase in an irrigation pond.

Wow. Highly unusual. Or maybe the cops took a few isolated facts and drew an connection where none existed.

I am reminded of the McMartin (sp) daycare case where satanic sexual abuse was said to happen but later learned children were "coached" to remember things that never happened.

A whole family was suspected and a few were convicted but later cleared. IIRC.

When I googled this case I got several versions of the story.

Some mentioned that the alleged perp admitted in her interview with cops that the child had visited in her home right before she disappeared.

And in regard to the suitcase (with remains of Sandra) said it was hers but said someone must have taken it.

I have heard on tv that witnesses in the area of the pond have described a suspicious vehicle they saw as a beige Silverado.

I’m sure the cops are being careful to fit the pieces properly.

Also heard on tv that searches have been done where Sandra visited, with a shed being of particular interest.

In addition, one of the stories I read said this woman has been in the hospital for a few days following Sandra’s disappearance, with the cause given as internal injuries or bleeding or some such.

If true, the cops know all about that, too.

Something is weird, yes.

But I’m more inclined to think it rests with the alleged perp than with the police investigation.
