The CCTV of Sandra outside the trailer, being so carefree and swinging her little arms hurts my heart so much.
Me too, it breaks my heart😓
Me to
I know!! I was thinking the exact same.
Me too 😭🥺
She just wanted to be free & happy. So tired of these predators😡
That CCTV of her strolling along like an innocent lil angel is heartbreaking 😭
It gave me the shudders to think what happened next
Yes poor girl 😔😔🙁😢😢
Dude 😭😭 her little skips and arm swinging 🥺she didn’t deserve everything that happened to her ( not that anyone would deserve such)
It was very heartbreaking. Her actual photos don't resemble my daughter but the CCTV looks and moves exactly like her. It makes me scared for my daughter who's 8
It's so sad, she would have been turning 20 this year, this sick predator took away her chance of living her life, getting a job, going to college, spending time with her family, all the things that my brother (who was born a year after her) is doing now. I really don't understand how someone could do that to a child, and then to go and try to do the same to her sister.
“The trailer park was a very safe place, her mother wasn’t worried her neighbours would do anything" How? Half the neighbours seem to be predators? How does that even happen?
Her mom only knew about the man that kissed her and he thought he wasn't doing any harm, which means he was trying to keep himself in check (as misguided as he was). Basically she probably didn't see him as a threat. I bet she also actually trusted the murderer herself. Someone else suggested maybe the woman was trafficking the children in the park to the other pedophiles, which would explain the weird things she did and how she could tell the police who all of the pedos were. There were red flags everywhere, but my guess is that no individual in the park had enough info to realize they were red flags, while we can see the whole picture and are more paranoid because we watch videos like this.
I'd say I wouldn't do it, but I also can't trust my kids alone in our fenced backyard. I wouldn't let my kids run around the trailer park alone because I don't trust them, can't speak for what I'd do if I did, so I can't judge her.
My thought too.
Thats the thing! there are so many predators that can put on a facade and be very charismatic
Fr her mom was stupid asf
Because none of them were registered. The park was full of children who all played outside together all the time.
The fact that there was a pedophile known to drug children and admitted it to police etc and he was just allowed to carry on is terrifying and that that child was out alone after being assaulted by someone at that park at the age of 6 is insane!!?
I forgot about that it was a man who tried to kiss her or something I think.
..
. M. 8
@Christopher Barrett idk I just remember reading that when that woman murdered her.
Fr bro
“The trailer park was a very safe place, her mother wasn’t worried her neighbors would do anything” Also man kisses her daughter on the lips at 6 years old, another neighbor had suggestive pictures of Sandra with the two men and Melissa kidnapping another child and drugged before Sandra ....
Thank You. I was like the fuck after the first one. Then 2 more popped up and I’m like this is a clown car not a safe place.
Right!?
@@KN-yk9lp holy crap. Just got to at least one mother also knew the murder kidnapped and drugged a child. People need to stop making excuses for red flags and not thinking the worse of people when they do illegal shit.
LITERALLY
I thought this exact thing. What kind of family is this...
when she said that the killer called the family and asked for Sandra sisters to come over… after murdering Sandra herself… gave me CHILLS… so frightening and sickening
To me just proves there was no accident about it or regret because she was trying to do it again. At least trying to drug and abuse someone again. So sickening.
@@katelynnsibert596 im a big mean beast
It was so sickening that the shine of light in this case is that Sandra was most likely sedated in the while attack. It's just pure evil. That poor little girl...and then to attempt to attack her sister too? I hope that monster stays in prison forever.
I shook my head, thinking, 'No! Don't do it!' D:
I remember this case years ago. Really unbelievable. Wanted to play with friends.
I just feel so bad that this little girl had to live around so many predators and that her life ended the way that it did
Right? The fact that Melissa wasn't charged for drugging that first child and then two other neighbors were known to be attracted to children and have pictures of the neighbor kids on their phone?! Insanity. We need to do so much better at protecting children
Fr, so gross how many there were!
Right all those people should have been in jail or be reported on the list for sexual offenders and more i mean that poor little girl she suffered so much
@@randomaccessmemories8912 right! It’s sad how these predators think what they’re doing is ok... no child deserves this
How did anyone allow their kids run around unsupervised when they knew about these child predators nearby? And she had already been approached in the past?
The fact that there were at least 5 people who were so dangerous for the children in such a small vicinity makes me so sad for Sandra and the other kids.
Even crazier is they didn't do anything (as far as we're aware), it was the lady no one would suspect! Honestly terrifying
The number of child predators in that one neighborhood is such a disturbing statistical anomaly
Sadly I don’t think it is an anomaly.
I subscribe to a background checking service and you wouldn't believe the number of sex offenders. There's 22 in my area but that's actually a really low amount compared to some other places. I looked up a friend and she has 58 sex offenders in her area. They're literally everywhere! 99% of them were men who committed r@pe or sex crimes against a child or disabled person but there were several on there for lesser offenses such as exposing themselves. This case was shocking because women don't normally commit violent sexual crimes. Not saying they don't, but it's unusual.
I chose my apartment in Florida based on the sex offender maps. I learned that it is impossible to escape them, so I chose a location where they were really old and I could do some damage and run away if we ever crossed paths.
I was about to say the same thing, makes you really wonder who's around you. I can't remember which case (i think Amys law) but now they require ppl to report their residential address.... I looked it up once and it was so disturbing how prevalent it was
@@leannmiller8358 what is this as i want to see how many are in my area as i feel there’s quite a few!!
the fact that she was a woman, a mom and a teacher gives me chills, it’s like we can’t trust anyone, really.
literally
We can't. Especially with our children.
She was her kid’s friend I mean wtf?
Exactly, Mcmartin preschool the group of children who were abused by the school teachers. Always question your children.
She had already drugged a child , the neighbors was letterly surrounded by pedophiles , it’s not a matter of can’t trust anyone , it’s a matter that it was crazy to allow kids to be on their own out in that place, and it was crazy that that woman was free after having drugged a child , just as it was crazy that notorious child molesters were all on the loose there . You can trust people as most people are not like that , just don’t allow your kids to be in the streets on their own if you live in a place full of nutcases on the loose like it was where this little girl was living
It genuinely hurts when a child is murdered.
No child’s life should end that quickly.

My mind can't comprehend how you could want to kill a child, especially someone's daughter when you have a daughter yourself. My heart aches for this family
Same I’m not even a mum and the thought of ANY harm coming to a child makes me feel so sick
It's possible she would have eventually gotten around to killing her daughter when she was "satisfied" with killing other children. Sometimes serial killers will kill many similar victims before getting around to the actual target they wanted the whole time. Working up to it, in a way. I remember one time it happening with a guy that wanted to kill his mom but before he got around to it, he killed a bunch of women who looked just like her. Sandra might have been the first victim in what she was planning to be many many more.
😩😪
who knows if she even has a daughter
@@chrisgomez1840 did you even watch the video?
She sounded like such a genuinely bubbly girl it seriously hurts me that her life ended quickly.

@@ljmcdonald2703 :(
exactly, on that cctv footage, she was swinging her arms and looked like she was on cloud nine :( her walk reminded me of my little brother, who walks the exact same way, flapping his arms and skipping.
I had only seen her from afar but I have several family friends that knew her because they lived in the mobile home park at the time. She really was a ray of sunshine.....it devastated the whole city of Tracy because it was still a fairly small city at the time and most people had a connection to the case in some way.
Mhm :(
The fact that Sandra’s mother said she trusted everyone in the trailer park even after a man that lived there assaulted her daughter when she was just 6 is so shocking like what the fuck
Really scary☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Some parents seem to go into denial when bad things happen to their children.... Possibly out of guilt for not saving them, possibly out of sheer ignorance/disbelief.
That's probably how her mom was raised. That's usually how it goes.
Maybe she didn’t know about the incident, or maybe she just told her daughter to stay away from the man, and that that would be enough. Idk, the only other option would’ve been to not allow any of her kids to go outside at all, and maybe she didn’t want to hinder their childhood like that. Who knows for sure. Hindsight 20/20 as per usual.
@@Valeria-mq3qn As adults with children it's your job to install safety features in your kid. Seatbelts for example, a kid whose parents consistently enforces a seatbelt rule will have their seatbelt on in every vehicle they sit in regardless of the other children hanging out the windows. If this baby had told this woman that she had to go tell her mom whose house she was at before she went inside. We wouldnt be talking about this. Predators target children of lazy parents.
imagine being Melissas kid, knowing that your own mother murdered your friend and not being able to grow up with a loving mother figure

Where was her daughter? Where were the grandparents? How was she a teacher with all these disorders?
I mean I would never tell my kid to go to a teacher I had to choose I had teachers that hit on me I had teachers that degraded me I had great teachers to that I love to this day and think about of course but I don't trust many people.
yup and she worked at a church. typical.

Your pfp is so nostalgic for me
The fact that a woman, a MOTHER, did this to an innocent little girl just blows my mind. I don’t think i’ve ever heard of a case like this before, it’s so saddening! Rest in paradise, Sandra
it's statistically very rare for a solo woman to kill a child that's not hers. this story is heartbreaking.
@@vvitch That is why a lot of people thought she was procuring young girls for her shady family and bringing them to their church to abuse.
Now I'm wondering about her own kid too
I believe that area was trafficking children with all those predators in that one trailer park. I believe that woman was drugging children and was giving the predators access to the child she drugged. Like another commenter stated they were wondering about her children as well, I believe she was abusing them too but she drugged them and may be possible that don't remember. That poor baby, Rest in Heaven baby girl, you're safe now.

There needs to be more awareness and contempt of female predators. It was obvious to me she did it from the letter.
This! Absolutely true. There is female predators out there.
Psych degree here 🤓 I absolutely agree that society needs to be more aware of the fact it isn’t just men who are predators, however… I don’t believe she was actually a true paedophile 🤔 Women usually abuse children for different reasons than men (of course there are exceptions but psychologically speaking, it’s different).
In Melissa’s case, there’s actually a pretty strong reason to believe she was simply trying to make it look like the killer was a man (because as I say, it’s not common for women to be sexual abusers like this) 🤔 The reason for this viewpoint: she has - unofficially diagnosed - Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome. Her own child has a history of being mysteriously sick and being hospitalised, a bit too often 🤔 It’s widely accepted by professionals that she was making her kid sick and using it for attention. People from her life prior to arrest said the same thing - she made everything about her. She’d cause a scene, start having loud arguments for no reason etc. 🤔
It’s very likely the “usual” forms of getting attention weren’t giving her the high she needed anymore. If the doctors flagged up too many hospitalisations and mentioned this to her she would have changed tack. Being the centre of attention in a child murder, the tv interviews, the local attention - that’s a big draw for her 🤔 As I say, the rolling pin part was to make it appear as though the killer was a man, so she wouldn’t be considered a suspect (in her own dumb af mind 🙄😂).
So yeah: I completely agree people need to be more aware and therefore more cautious, but in this particular case I think the sexual part of the case was a means to an end (and was probably why she drugged her 😔 - to Melissa, it was just part of the process rather than getting any gratification out of it, so she didn’t want Sandra awake for it).
The frightening thing is that if she wasn’t such an attention seeker and didn’t incriminate herself so easily, she wouldn’t have been caught. Because the police did not suspect her at first, being that she did not fit the profile of a child predator. So she would’ve been allowed to roam around free to hurt more children.
The fact no one reported her before despite actually drugging a child before. Also she would have gotten away if she just shut up and its scary. No one suspected her and this could've gone cold if she didn't keep insurting herself.
@@VOMITQUEENexactly was thinking the same without that letter she did I don’t think she would have ever been caught

When I hear these horrible child abuse and killing stories it makes my blood boil. The fact that all this was carried out by a neighbor a woman who she trusted, makes me sick. Sandra trusted her and was probably thinking of
Having fun decorating instead this demon woman does the unthinkable. No motive I don’t know what the heck happened.
Melissa’s paranoia of trying to direct this case elsewhere when nobody even blinked an eye at her.. is exactly how she was caught. I’m shocked she wasn’t even charged with sexual assault BUT regardless she’ll never see daylight again nor be able to be around other children (including her own) thankfully. She gave herself away. That poor little girl had so much life to live. It’s absolutely heart wrenching.
I feel like she definitely could have gotten away with it if she didn't do so many things to draw so much attention to her or at least she wouldn't have been caught for a while. Like they wouldn't have known it was her suitcase, and if she didn't write that letter no one would've known that Melissa knew where Sandra was. There were so many pedophiles in the area they probably would've just blamed one of them.
And the fact that they thought she was an attention seeker as well is pretty ehhh...
She pled guilty to avoid the death penalty and sexual assault charges (so she could continue contact with her own child). That's why she wasn't charged with it.
The end result is the same. She will spend the rest of her life in prison.
@@anonymoose116 fact that she's still allowed to see her own child gives me goosebumps...

Soo heartbreaking thinking about it like that 😪
I can't imagine what the daughter went through having Melissa as a mother, even without this happening.
@mbd It was described in a documentary that Melissa had a very close relationship with her daughter. She had a disorder that made her extremely jealousy of those who spent so much time with her daughter. Seeing Sandra with her daughter angered her, and she snapped.

@@sionnachtine3659 I could definitely be wrong but I'm under the impression that they were draining the muddy/swampy area because of the note, and the suitcase was found because of that. It may have been a different body of water though.

@@owl.feathers I believe it was said that they drained that particular place regularly and the workers found it and reported it because they'd heard about the incident?

The fact that Sandra would be almost 20 years old this year if she hadn't passed makes me so sad... all the things she should've been able to experience... :(

Hi, there’s a case I think you should cover because it’s starting to gain traction again as it’s been cold for 36 years! A few days ago I was in Newport, Oregon for my moms birthday and as we were walking down the bay front shops, we saw these posters every 10-20 feet that had a woman’s face and a title that said “Murdered 36 Years ago Kelly Disney”. This was the first time I’d seen these posters in Newport and I’d never heard of the case before and I just now looked into it and I really really think you should cover it. Kelly Disney was a 17 year old girl who grew up in Siletz, Oregon and was dating a 20 year old named Robert Ellis. The last time she was seen was at 1am on March 9th, 1984 on Highway 20. 10 years later on Monday July 25, 1994, a man walked into the Newport Police Department with a human skull he’d found behind the Big Creek Reservoir while riding through on his ATV. Dental records found that it was Kelly Disney’s skull and it had evidence of head injuries. They’ve talked with her boyfriend but they haven’t been able to really find anything good to say it was him or that he had any involvement. Please please talk about this case. It’s unsolved but important considering she’s not the only girl to have gone missing and turned up dead in Newport.

"The trailer park was a safe place, and I wasn't worried about her."
I believe that no matter how safe you believe where you're located is, you shouldn't let your young child run around the neighborhood unattended.
I just can't get passed the fact there are KNOWN PEDOPHILES in the area who have previously assaulted your daughter, and you STILL leave them unattended.
That pisses me off.
I wouldn't trust my daughter in the garden without a parent....or whoever is looking after her at the time..
Yeah when I was little my mum didn't even let me play out on the street right next to my house with some of the older kids. I wasn't allowed to leave the gate of the front garden
I agree just because she thought the neighborhood was safe it doesn’t mean it is. You can’t trust everyone in the neighborhood also how did that man never get reported for kissing Sandra in the lips that’s disgusting.
Sandra was so close to being home and safe... she almost never had to go through that. She was on her way to safety... this is just sad
How
@@LadyAsia93 Sandra was planning on going straight home until Melissa lured her in it’s so sad🥺
@@LadyAsia93 that video where she was skipping was her heading home, that last split second where something (someone) caught her attention was that last decision she ended up making. and its so sad that someone took advantage of this young girls friendship and trustfulness/kindness.
Melissa would have killed her one day even if she couldn't do it on that special day she had planned
She had been searching how to murder a kid
If it didn’t happen that day it would have happened another day, her daughter was Sandra’s friend, or have been another little girl. Like what?
“I mean, they should definitely be keeping an eye on that guy for the rest of his life because...freak.”

@@ljmcdonald2703 Thanks :)
Sandra’s case was really an eye opener for the community because up until then, no one really thought about the dangers women could also bring onto our children. I’m from Lathrop, about 10 minutes away from Tracy, and I remember how shocked everyone was when they found out the Sunday school teacher did it. It really had people realizing you can’t trust anyone just because they’re a woman or man. We were around the same age when Sandra went missing, and it continues to break my heart knowing this innocent girl had to die for people to start doing something about the way we see child offenders. I was too young to understand everything back then, but now knowing Huckaby had a history of mental illness and had also drugged people in her past while still being allowed to teach children, there could have been so much more done to have this tragedy prevented.
Melissa: *dramatic af, huge attention seeker, crocodile tears having ass, a liar, a **_KILLER_*
Also Melissa: Why, I'm a Sunday school teacher, I can do no wrong 😊 I just needed help _decorating…_
It’s the 😊 for me lmao 😂
Annnnd... I really need to start watching videos BEFORE reading comments lol

It's scary how if Melissa had never tried to get attention on herself, she might not have been even caught.
I’m pretty sure she’ll end up being caught because there was those two witnesses who seen her at the lake and at the pond, plus the people who sank the pond would’ve found the suitcase either way. She just made it more easier and faster for her to get caught. But in the end she would’ve def got caught either way.
It's obviously because she's a woman. They don't expect women to do those things and therefore they dont catch many women who do it and it causes a vicious cycle. Of course, men are more likely to do it but people are just too stupid to consider the possibility a woman would do something like this...for which they would be surprised how many would
@@ratemate458 i,, do not think it's because she's a woman. this case had literally no good leads beforehand, of course no one was getting caught.
@@ratemate458 I think it's more about the fact that there would have been barely any leads that would've pointed to her, also being a teacher/parent gave her a slight benefit, but yeah, her being a woman was probably slightly influential, especially the first 2-3 times she was trying too hard to be a grieving "friend" and police just thought she was an attention seeker instead of being very suspicious.
Tracey cops are dumb. It’s pretty rural there still even tho it’s not too far from the sf bay area
Sandra would be in university by now. She would’ve had so many more memories to make, going to middle and high school, graduating, making friends, growing up and being a normal child, but that woman took it away.
It’s so sad 😔
It’s really devastating to think about, who in the right mind would k!ll a child like Sandra??!!? Literally any child at all?!
@@miphasgrace6569 literally anybody.
this hit close to home for me. she'd be between my age and my little sister's age. i was a little girl just like sandra. breaks my heart to know she never got to grow up like we did.
And im now crying
Your trigger warnings are always so detailed and I really appreciate that about your videos.
Something that I think separates Eleanor's videos from other true crime channels, is the way in which she delivers them. There's no eerie music or dramatic sound effects (or clickbaity photoshopped images for that matter); she has full respect for the victims and their families. I especially like how she will say something about what the victim was like or what they enjoyed (like how Sandra Cantu enjoyed colouring etc.) Instead of just going into gory details. I think so many other channels need to take a leaf out of Eleanor's book, she never fails to keep the videos interesting, engaging but also respectful ♥
Yes! I also like it because it doesn't feel creepy. I've always found stories like this interesting, but they are always presented in a way that brings a weird feeling into your life. She does this for education, to respect the victims, to learn about the killers, to learn about how to stay safe. It's not just entertainment, it's education.
Controversial theories also need to take a page out of this book. Everything is always given that weird spin and music and it's just cringey! Just give me the info, respect me! I want to see different perspectives, not just the ones taught in school. I want an open mind. But presenting it the way it is undermines the credibility of any non main stream theory.
Ĺ
seriously agree !
i think it’s crazy that she probably would’ve gotten away with the murder if she hadn’t purposely attracted so much attention to herself. she was no where near the police’s radar until she wrote that note.
Exactly what I thought! If she wouldn’t have made a big deal about that note she probably would’ve never got caught
My brain can’t understand why someone would do something so horrible and act like nothing literally I can’t.
R.I.P. to a beautiful young soul
ruclips.net/video/PZGT8u0vGds/видео.html
I'm having a really hard time figuring out why too. It's just the most bizarre thing...if it were one of those perverts it would be obvious but it would be satisfying if she just said anything more than "I don't know". It's just the sickest thing. The girl just looked so sweet when she was happily skipping up to her house :'(
Honestly, I’m happy she was sedated. She likely wasnt awake to experience the things she went through before her death. She didn’t feel the pain of the SA or murder. Hopefully with the drugging, she didn’t die in pain. Such a devastating case. I hope Melissa rots in prison
Are you serious with that comment? You're happy she was sedated?!
she definitely wasn’t awake considering the amount of xanax in her system. even a tiny amount of xanax is enough to knock someone out. but also if she had been awake, she would’ve been blacked out and for sure wouldn’t have remembered anything.
@@j.d.contreras392they aren’t happy she’s dead or that this happened to her but it’s comforting to know that at least she wasn’t in pain or aware of what was happening to her.
@@j.d.contreras392they’re not happy this happened to her; they’re saying that they’re glad that she was sedated during all of that rather than fully conscious, because it means that she might not have felt the pain from the assault and murder. They are happy she was sedated because it means that she suffered less than she would have if she had not been sedated.
It's sad after she drugged that one kid after taking her to the park without her parents permission, if the police would of put her in jail then Sandra would still be alive right now
Right! How the hell did police not get involved with that? A doctor is supposed to call the police when they discover stuff like that. The parents just let it go too?
And why wasn't she arrested?! That's mind blowing!
also how did she know so much about those other predators? thats whats kind of fishy
i clicked immediately because my mom is from tracy, ca and sandra's father is a close family friend. my whole family was devastated when we found out she was missing. rip sandra ♥️
SAME! Except me and my family all grew up in Livermore and my mom remembers when she went missing. I think she asked a oujia board about her
@@hailymclaughlin1342 genuinely curious what answer she got
Same! I grew up in Tracy and our first house there was on the other side of Clover Rd. I had many family friends that lived in the mobile home park at the time too. This case was devastating to so many in Tracy because of how many of us had some sort of connection to the case.
@@naynerboppers5254 it’s crazy to even think that something so tragic could happen to you know personally. something similar to this happened in stockton to a cousin of mine. she was murdered by her boyfriend and he lived with the corpse for 6 months before anyone finding her body

seeing cases like this with young children make me so much more protective over my little sisters.

Same... i’m the oldest child, and I have a sister who is 14, almost 6 years younger than me.
She actually may have been targeted by a predator before, one day she was walking home from the bus stop with her friend when a van started following them. Nothing came from it, but it scares me every day to think that I could have lost my sister, and something bad could still happen to her one day. It’s definitely made me a lot more protective of her
@@Caitilizzie so glad she still okay ❤️
Same
I swear I need to not click on the child cases because at this rate when I have kids they won't be allowed out of my sight.
its so sad that almost every child case involves sexual assault/rape…really tells you about the world we live in
My dad is also a pedophile. He sexually assaulted my mom sister when she was 12.
I was actually friends with Sandra, I was 10 years old when she went missing. And the scary thing was is I had spent the night at her house 2 weeks before she went missing. I was friends with one of her older sisters, I was devastated when she went missing. And when I found out she had been killed I broke down and I missed weeks of school because I couldn’t handle it. I even went door to door handing out posters and I even collected $400 for her family so they could help find her.
can u describe what she was like??

15:24 is the timestamp btw
I’ve actually seen a documentary about this case and it was said that she killed Sandra out of jealousy. As you said, her daughter would play with Sandra but Melissa didn’t like this and would be jealous that her daughter was spending time with someone else. The first girl that Melissa drugged was her doing a test to see how much of a dose would be needed. When it came to her daughter playing with someone and spending time with someone other than herself, due to her mental health problems she didn’t see it like we would. It just made her jealous and angry. The reasons she sexually assaulted Sandra was to make it look like it had been done by a man so to put the police on the wrong path.
ruclips.net/video/PZGT8u0vGds/видео.html
I genuinely don't buy that, how would she know about the father and sons weird pics if she wasn't a weirdo? Like if someone showed me that I'd be ubering to the police station so fast but she only brought it up when it was deflecting the attention off her.
I think Melissa was a predator herself, and she was probably shown those photos by the man and his son or they shared it. Sounded like there were a BUNCH of creeps in that trailer park sadly.. but I do also believe there was a huge need for all her daughter’s attention as well
@@uhlahnuhx absolutely grim the lot of them 🤢🤮
It’s a good theory but if that was the case why would she then invite Sandra’s sibling to come play with her daughter when her daughter wasn’t home? I think she was definitely a predator with some sort of infatuation for Sandra
This makes me think about when I was a kid (90’s) and my mom would tell me to go knock on doors around the neighborhood that we just moved into to try to make friends. How incredibly dangerous! I know it was a different time, but crime was even worse then and they just trusted people. I feel like a lot of us are lucky that this didn’t happen when we were children ..
A Bailey Sariah video and an Eleanor video in one day? What a gift
Literally was thinking the same. Not a bad Monday

RIGHT
I know, right!
i can’t help but wonder where was her 5 year old child through all of this? and also building on that, where is the child now? i hope they’re safe and being looked after by someone with far more respect and basic decency than their biological “mother”.
She would be just now turning eighteen now, really hoping her bio mom at least didn't further traumatize her. My heart is with her
Im only a year older than her. I can't imagine the horror and fear she must of gone through.
@@therealopaartist yh
@Calli Sage it’s crazy the strict criteria you go through to adopt, but anyone is allowed to give birth and have a child. Makes sense.
Melissa was sus the second she called from the church at 4pm to report the suitcase stolen. If the suitcase was stolen from the street at 4pm, and Melissa was at the church at 4pm, she wouldnt have known that the suitcase was gone until she was back from the church
Thats the first thing i thought. But then i thought maybe she seen it was missing while she was leaving on her way to church. And just called to report after she got to the church.
I thought the same. Like how would she know?
she made the report about the suitcase days after
This story brought me to tears. I can’t stop crying, I’m so sad for the family and for that poor, poor little girl. I was shocked about the part with the rolling pin, it never even came to mind for me that someone would SA a child, a CHILD with that. I was thinking blunt force trauma, or something alone those lines because it would NEVER come to mind for me that someone would use that in such a way. I’m so so sorry for Sandra.
My heart breaks for this little girl, I cannot imagine what kind of life Sandra would have had. She was 8 years old and was already being molested by multiple creeps in the neighborhood. Not just Sandra but I feel so sad for all the other little kids that happened to.
Yeah so it makes you think if you had all these creeps living in your neighborhood why were these little kids even allowed out by themselves to play outside that's what I don't understand especially if she had already been messed with in other little kids you parents are still letting your little girls go out and play in the neighborhood by themselves like what's wrong with y'all
@@xtincs__1920 I agree. I didn’t want to say it, but how did the parents allow their child outside alone when there was 6 sex offenders in the trailer park, and let their child play at Melissa’s house when she got caught drugging and molesting another child??
Hub
@@diaryofarealmom3264 to be fair, I don't know if the info about Melissa drugging the other child actually got out until after she killed Sandra. But yeah, if there were known sex offenders living in the trailer park, then no way should she have been allowed to walk alone to her friend's house.
not molested, it never went that far. pretty sure it was just the one old man that kissed her
that woman's mugshot literally gave me the chills.
Same..and she was 28? She looks WORKED.
oh my god you’re so pretty
It was the dead, soulless look in her eyes that got me. The eyes of a murderer.
I think it’s insane had Melissa not written that letter and drawn attention to herself she would have likely never been caught. Like she was nowhere on the police’s radar. It’s also insane to me that she was a mom herself, a Sunday school teacher, and a neighbor. You can’t trust anyone these days I swear.
It seems like the people who people never think would do things like this are the ones to be leary of.
Yes. Many psychopaths insert themselves into an investigation and grieve alongside others, in an attempt to gain attention for themselves, while also manipulating others.
I think she was enjoying the attention and getting off by the fact that only she knew what had happened to Sandra, but she took it too far and screwed herself. Then tried the Sarah Boone defense after getting caught.
@@SteveMHN What makes it worse is it seems Sandra was killed for attention, and the only reason she was SA with a foreign object was another way to make it seem like she wasn't the killer, that one of the local pedophiles were instead.
Amazing she even has her own child with her mental illness history.
Why do you say ‘these days’ like when were there ever better times?
I like how her mom just let her daughter play unsupervised because she “trusted everyone in the trailer Parker” and then there’s 4 known paedophiles in the neighborhood...
OMG FOR REAL XD
I really cannot understand how can there be so many pedophiles in such a small place just like, huddled together
I can't speak for Tracy, but I used to live in Redding CA and it was supposedly common knowledge that statewide predators were taken to Redding CA to be released. I don't have proof, it could have been urban myth, but the locals did believe it. And there were a LOT of them there around 1995-1998 when I lived there.

Everyone used to look out for each other and know one another. As boring as it once was, I still have so many good memories growing up there. Now I couldn’t imagine raising my kids there. It’s sad.
@Jessie Jay right!! My sister still lives in Tracy, I make her drive to me. It’s so unrecognizable. When I first moved there, they only had Walmart and a few other stores and that was it. Everything else was a dirt field. I miss that! I’m glad that I at least got to go to Tracy High before they rebuilt it. ( even though I hated that place haha) I’m so glad I got out of that town when I did. I’m in Escalon now and love that it’s a small town. No more big cities for me haha
