Tracy, Calif- The Town of Tracy is trying to come to grips with the arrest of a female Sunday School Teacher in the kidnapping and killing of an eight year old girl.

Just a total shock it's scary who can you trust? says Tracy resident Debra Moore

Tracy Police were just as shocked according to the F.B.I women are involved in just seven percent of murders of any kind and solo killing of children are even more unusual.

Finding out that it was a woman that was responsible for Sandra's kidnapping and murder and then finding out it is a member of the community is another blow. Finding out it was someone Sandra's family knew a bigger blow says Tracy Police Sergeant Tony Sheneman.

Melissa Huckaby's great uncle Arthur Harris who is a pastor at the Alisal Baptist Church in Salinas says there is no greater, more painful loss than the death of a child.

What my family is going through pales in comparison to what this little girl's family is going through. My family has a strong faith and they know that justice must be served even if it one of us.

Today the family of Melissa Huckaby expressed their sympathy for the Cantu family as they try to wrap their mind around how one of their relatives could commit such a crime.

We know that the family and the community have a many questions and so do we. We do know that the information that we've been given regarding the charges against Melissa Huckaby are completely out of character for her.

The Cantu family continues to come to grips with the little girl's death as they make plans for her funeral. Sandras Uncle Joe Chavez says that he is angry.

"We have to live the rest of our lives without Sandra. She's in jail. She can still see her little girl grow up. We don't. We don't get to see that."

A public memorial for Sandra Cantu will be held on Thursday, April 16th at West High School in Tracy at 1:00 p.m.
