Melissa Huckaby, 28,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Female perps are unusual. I wonder if she was lesbian?

( I will now go to read the rest of the article. I wonder if the newspaper would report lesbianism as being a factor?)

I’m VERY interested in knowing how this woman got the tag “sunday school teacher” that is all over the news, on this holiest of weekends Why not “28-year-old store clerk” or “28-year-old disturbed woman”, etc?

I see your point and your suspicion may be warranted, but the police did focus on searching the church a few days ago so the connection between the crime and the church was already made, and now the suspect is associated with that church.

The original story does not use the word “Sunday” in the headline.

Fox news reported that Huckaby’s parents are the Pastors of that church and have custody of her daughter.

My brother’s roomates daughter lives in the same trailer park as the little girl. They were friends.

According to my brother, those kids were allowed to roam around all hours.

In any case very sad.

The only thing that is relevant to the religion haters in “journalism” is that she is, was or may be a Christian. All the more juicy that she happens to be the grand daughter of a Baptist minister.

No mention of where, what, why or how. If I were to speculate, I would guess that she is an insane person, and probably has a liberal and relativist world view.

What could have been the motivation here? Was this woman some sort of pedophile?

You're right. Regular teachers who make the news are unusually child molesters, seducers or rapist. I guess a college education teachers - at minimum - that killing a child is wrong.
