Sandra Cantu: The Case of "The Suitcase Killer"

In the close-knit, seemingly safe community of Tracy, California, a bright, eight-year-old girl named Sandra Cantu was seized in the spring of 2009. Her abduction was not the work of a stranger on a quiet street, but a horrifying betrayal by a neighbor who lived just a few doors down. The brief, four-second surveillance clip that captured her final, carefree moments led investigators into a chilling world of premeditation, revealing a monster who used a stolen suitcase and the sacrilege of a church to conceal her heinous crime. Sandra's fate was sealed by her own innocent trust, leading to an investigation built entirely on forensic facts, irrefutable timelines, and the killer’s shocking acts of self-incrimination.

 

WARNING: This case discusses child abduction, rape, murder, and the chilling crimes of a child killer. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
