Any idea how they are related? Let’s just hope that Sandra’s death is not in vain. Let’s hope that something is cracked open from this that saves a ton of kids from pain, misery and possibly death.
Blink, you are certain they are related? How are they related?
this involves a minor, so I have chosen not to release that part of the info from my source, and just put out what I could verify.
B
Blink. Well done.
this is sick! why wasnt something done about this family years ago? this is apparently nothing new with these people. WTF???
that family… has problems.
Oh my. We were just discussing this on the Sandra Thread & Klaas posted the link to your article. I guess the house of cards will start to fall. I’m just sick. This is going to be so much worse than I can imagine. Thank you Blink for all your hard work.
Having the same last name doesn’t mean they’re related, does it? Or are all these people related to Xena of TV fame, Lucy Lawless? Maybe Lawrence Taylor (the black football player) is related to Elizabeth Taylor (the white actress)… I could go on, but why? It seems like everybody here is so anxious to see sinister conspiracies based on the most ludicrously thin evidence… Whatever…
THis is one of those OMG moments.
What is this guys relationship to MH?
Unbelievable. How far away from MH does this guy live?
I’m sure they are related, blink would not have released this info.
PLUS, come on…..the same charges!!!
It is listed 10 times, does that mean there are 10 counts?
Blink:
Keep it up… there’s more!
I wish that they would bring back the “burning at the stake”!!!! and they could add Casey Anthony and Susan Smith to the pile!
I thought all along that Melissa was drugging these kids and bringing them to someone else, a pedophile, to have their way with them. Melissa had to be getting some form of payment for it. I hope the whole damn family gets sent up the river for this.
I’ve been following this since the beginning, lingering around blinkoncrime. I’ve not commented before now, but holy chit chinchila – this is getting ugly. It’s going to get a lot uglier, I fear.
Based on DOB, I’d say (if he is related, which doesn’t seem discountable) he’s either an uncle or cousin. How old is Sandra again? Who are Lane’s other children?
I think it’s going to be revealed a whole barrel of dirty secrets in teh Lawless family. I’m so sad and sickened by this entire “case”.
If this is indeed a relative of this family and the charges are true then there is definately a real problem going on this this family group. Sick, sick people. When and why don’t LE stop this kind of crime? I am so hoping the Cantu family can deal with this horrible news.
Point of Clarification Everyone: I am NOT saying Timothy Lawless is a POI or connected to Huckaby’s charges in the death of Sandra Cantu. I simply reported the facts as they are known. I attempted to verify any connection but as you know there is a standing gag order in Huckaby case. We are just going to have to let this and whatever else is coming down the pike, and there is more, play out.
Blink
I don’t doubt you for a minute, Blink; it was kind of a knee-jerk response/question. I know you wouldn’t print it if you hadn’t confirmed it. I was so hoping this thing wasn’t going to be as bad as it now appears that it is going to be.
A million dollars is quite a bail amount. This is serious. Can I speculate if this is in any way related to MH’s daughter?
In the Haleigh Cummings case a relative of the woman/girl involved is a registered sex offender too, the guy somewhere in Tennessee.
If MH’s grandfather wasn’t involved in any sex crimes, I imagine his attitude was “move away…sweep it under the rug…hide your head in the sand and don’t discuss the past and it will go away.” That doesn’t normally work unless the thing you are leaving behind is an undesirable climate!!!
Well,Well,Well Job well done Blink!! I would bet that this is somehow connected with Sandra and pornagraphy. This is probably of the same Lawless family. What a coincidence…or maybe??
If I had one wish, it would be to let John Ramsey know about these developments… I think these crimes are connected to the death of JonBenet.
Blink I’m a little confused. A new poster Calimode just posted this info on scaredmonkeys and asked if this man was a relative. I think she put up the information before your article.
Now since it involves a minor, it still wouldn’t keep you from disclosing if he is a cousin or whatever.
I also noticed last night about the pictures of the blinds being removed from the church. Shortly after that and others commenting they were blinds and projection screen based on their speculation, you then put up the article and changed the projection to include blinds.
I’ve noticed you are making your reports based on what people are posting on other sites.
Comment to FairestWitness (14):
I think MH was pressured into finding these girls not because of money, but to SAVE HER OWN DAUGHTER.
I’m just happy all of this comes out. There’s been so many awful cases the past years with people living horrific, secret lives (example Josef Fritzl). When I hear stuff like that I can’t help but think of howmany other cases like that there is in this world – still undiscovered.
It’s a tragedy what happened, but somehow someway Sandra has made and impact and change and THAT is no coincidence.
Yeah, they should look at Homer Simpson, maybe he was in on it w/ OJ…
WHERE CAN I FIND THE SANDRA THREAD?
Can’t shake the gut wrenching spasms…. that Clifford Lane Lawless and wife Connie are the “child sex ring” church Pastor known as Robert Roberson and wife Connie…..there is just too much not to think they aren’t one and the same people. I hope not.
I did find that even though Roberson and his wife were acquitted in criminal court, 28 others affiliated with the church did get convicted via the child sex ring in church case.
The Roberson allegedly had money for a good defense while their pew rapt members didn’t have all that tithed money to buy them freedom.
Good job girl. His home is about 55 miles from the evil trailer park. It is valued at $230k, running about 150k less than the average in that zip. Lucky for him that he already lives in Folsom and will not have far to go to his new permanent home. I am Jonesing for the more part. Can you give a brother a hint? Don’t get yourself hauled to court though.
Blink you erased my post. Why? Do you not allow different opinions on where you are getting this stuff from scaredmonkeys? That Calimode put that information on there and within 10 minutes you put up this post.
Just annoying, I mean, observing, first of all, check your sources. Scared monkeys is a sister site of blinkoncrime.com- which I am also a contributing editor of, so why the flaaznnock would I steal from my own honey pot? If you cared to do any research before coming here to make accusations you would know that not only does it take more than ten minutes to write an article and call sources, run through the prison system and the DA’s office, upload and photoshop pics, blah blah. I posted Calimode congrats, that Klaas, the Global mod and I had been working on that information since this morning when I received it and we had. Perhaps your ignorant as to how the journalist process works on the web, fine, but unless you got a fact in your pocket to prove me wrong perhaps you could find another troll stop.
O, and I dont delete comments, they are M O D E R A T E D… look up. Welcome to the WWW.
Best,
Blink
Who knows, maybe he has been notified and that’s one of the reasons the F.B.I. are so heavily involved. That’s my hope…
Can you explain how you came to believe this creep is RELATED to Huckaby? I can find no connection other than the Lawless name (yet)
Based on the Grandfather’s bio from the Clover Church page :”They have three grown children Brian, Brett, and Joni”
Quite a family tree if it is indeed a relation. There are FBI investigations into the grandfather in connection with churches in 2 states(idaho and Washington) that had molestations occur in the 1980′s.
Are you sure??? According to a reporter with a local news agency I had check on the validity of Timothy Lawless being related to Melissa Huckaby I was told the following:
“The Folsom Police Department tells me this was a rumor that started in a local Folsom newspaper. It has absolutely no merit whatsoever.”
Blink, you answered in part that you “just put out what you could verify…” in response to the poster who asked how MH and Timothy are related. Does that mean you cannot verify that they are related?
Not trying to critic, just would like to know if in fact they are related and how closely.
If this guy is related Sac and Tracy way tooooooooo close in proximity for this too be coincidental. If this is true, this sounds like a disgusting CULT. Hope not! I live about 30 minutes from Tracy.
All the amateur sleuthing but be getting to me..because in my estimation Connie Lawless does not look all that different from the Connie Roberson from the Wenatchee case.
Obviously they are close to each other as Folsom is about an hour or less from Tracy by car.

saccourt.com shows Timothy John Lawless Divorcing Chona Lawless (Related name here) in 2007. He’s now going by the name Timothy Gomes?? Are you sure he’s related to Huckaby???? Seems like a lot of alias’s going on there. This is so sad. I hope they nail this family to the wall if it is related.
Blink do you know who Tim’s parents are? Thank you for all you sleuthing. Tried to look it up my self was unsucessful. Don’t believe their is a statue of limitations on child abuse.
Blink,
The conspiracy angle does not hold water, IMHO. If Grandpa Lawless or anyone else is involved in Cantu’s murder, may they be brought to justice. I am, however, having a hard time believing that this tragic murder was the work of an organized, experienced person(s). Instead this crime was committed by an amateur; a blossoming sociopath, if you will.
If Lawless or others in an organized ring were involved, I believe several things would not have occurred: Dumping the body so close to the crime and with a personal possession (luggage); choosing a victim so closely tied to MH and the Lawless’s; speaking to the press about material evidence; letting Police question you without a Lawyer, etc. Also, the theory that Lawless et al, would allow MH to “harvest” victims on behalf of their alleged “child porn ring” seems highly improbable; MH is clearly a loose cannon.
No, Sandra’s murder was not the work of an intelligent, organized person or persons. This was a crime of opportunity committed by a person barely in control of her own psychosis. The January incident, the thefts, the arson’s, the suicide attempt(s) and possible false rape allegations were all just building blocks which lead up to the Cantu crimes MH committed.
Instead I beleive the Lawless’s turned a blind eye to the warning signs re MH, and there actions in circling the wagons around MH after her arrest are despicable, IMHO.
The surname “Lawless” is a crazy name, for crazy people.
i saw a report on MH’s court thing today on tv and it said she was all smiling and happy in court. Yeah, as soon as the cameras are gone she drops the poor me crying act.
OK, after some checking, Folsom Police are saying that Timothy Lawless and MH ARE NOT related. Folsom PD is saying it is a rumour which was started by a “local Paper” and that it has “no mreit whatsoever” You can call them to verify as calls to there spoksperson are transfered right through….
This Lawless family is so sick! They seem have problems! Why are they all working at Churches? It makes me even sicker.
Please tell us HOW Timothy is related to Melissa. There is a lot of skepticism that the name is a coincidence. Thanks
I have Timothy Lawless’ Facebook page… am I allowed to post it? I know it’s the same guy who was arrested because according to Intelius there is only 1 Timothy J Lawless in Sacramento, CA, and one of his relatives is listed as “Chona Lawless”. This Timothy Lawless has a Chona listed in his friends.
Yes, it has been posted several places.
Also have his Myspace and the website of the company he owns.
Relatives or not, this is quite intriguing: same last name, same crimes, same time, same proximity(50 miles).
Bye the way, in the useless fact department, even if MH and TL are not known relations to each other; spend enough time on the ancestry websites and you will see they are actually related DNA wise.
Could this be the same Timothy Lawless?

This guy is 45 yrs. old, 6’1″, and weighs 250 lbs.! My heart is aching and I suddenly got sick. B – I would hope that new posters on your site take the time to research several victim stories that you have shared with us. Most of us have taken the time to do just that before we decided to join in on conversation. Your integrity on verifying facts is well-documented and you are adament about not releasing anything otherwise. Deepest thanks as always. The lid on this is ready to explode IMO and I pray the investigators don’t let up (related to the Cantu case or not)! What the heck does it matter anyway….this guy is another POS!!
Unreal…… this is like a movie….. I’m usually more vocal but….. I can’t even wrap my pea brain around this.
