Melissa Huckaby's Tracy Church Vandalized

A Tracy church where Sandra Cantu's suspected killer taught Sunday school was vandalized over the weekend.

Vandals damaged the sign at the Clover Road Baptist church where Melissa Huckaby was a Sunday school teacher.

Sandra disappeared March 27. She was last seen on a surveillance camera skipping outside the mobile home park in Tracy where she lived just five doors down from Melissa Huckaby. Cantu's body was found ten days after her disappearance stuffed in a suitcase. Huckaby was later arrested.

Police have told CBS News they believe 8-year-old Sandra Cantu was murdered in the church where her accused killer served as a Sunday school teacher.

Huckaby's grandfather, Lane Lawless, is the pastor there and is calling for people to back off.

"The church is not the guilty party. We don't know who is. And like everyone else and like the family of the little girl our heart goes out to them. I know they are hurting and they want to know who's responsible," said Pastor Lawless.

The church has also been getting threatening phone calls. No arrests have been made in connection to the vandalism.
