On April 6, 2009, Sandra Cantu's body was found in a suitcase during the routine draining of an irrigation pond in Tracy, California. Police immediately suspected an older white male with a history of sexual abuse, but after collecting various pieces of evidence, it became clear that the actual suspect was Melissa Huckaby, the mother of one of Sandra's friends. Savannah explores what led to Melissa's horrendous crime and the clues that ultimately led to her arrest and prosecution.
