A woman Sunday school teacher arrested for the kidnap and murder of an eight-year-old girl may also be charged with the child's rape, it emerged today. Melissa Huckaby, 28, was detained on Friday after the body of Sandra Cantu was found stuffed in a suitcase at the bottom of a pond. The little girl had lived just five doors away from Huckaby and was a playmate of the woman's five-year-old daughter Madison.
