BREAKING NEWS

Tracy, CA– In a case that has baffled some of the most prestigious clinical minds and profiling experts in the country, blinkoncrime.com has uncovered the latest bombshell in the background of Melissa Huckaby.

Huckaby’s five year old daughter, currently the subject of a brutal child custody dispute between her Father, Johnny Huckaby, and her maternal grandmother, Judy Lawless, is NOT an only child.

Huckaby2-1

 A source within the Lawless Church Community who has known the Lawless’s for over 40 years has confirmed Melissa Huckaby has a toddler son; also in the custodial care of Judy Purks Lawless. As he is a minor, and given the nature of the crimes his mother is currently charged with, we will not be releasing his identity or exact age. He is not the child of Johnny Huckaby, the tot Mom’s former husband.

 

Researchers at blinkoncrime.com became alarmed upon hearing this information as their has not been a single statement by Tracy PD, the Lawless family, or any friend or associate about the child, or who his father might be.

Judy Lawless had been in Oregon since the day after Sandra Cantu’s disappearance on March 28, until recently, following a judges temporary decision to award custody of her granddaughter to John Huckaby. After pleading with a judge, Lawless won a reversal to that order and is due back in court July 6th. It is not known if her grandson is with her presently, or if he remained at the family ranch in Grant’s Pass Oregon.

This latest development comes on the heals of the release of evidence involving the new charges against Huckaby, which are not covered in the gag order.

Tracy PD found a very interesting search on Huckaby’s computer. Huckaby had a particular interest in a murder case of a 4 year old girl, Rose Pizam, a child of French descent living in Jerusalem. There were multiple searches on the hard drive of this case, although Tracy PD has not released the dates of the searches.

Rose Pizm, was allegedly murdered by her grandfather and her Mother, who were lovers and the parents to two other young daughters. She was missing several months when divers found her remains following Ron Ronalds’ confession to her murder, in a red suitcase in the Yardok river.’

    whoa………

    are you implying what i think you are implying as a possibility…

    Not implying anything. I want to know where he is, and if the dad even knows he exists, and that he is safe.
    Judy Lawless is working within in the family court regarding the 5 year old daughter, so I have to trust that oversight to take it’s course. Why has nobody so much as mentioned him or even Huckaby’s pregnancy with a second child.

    what? wth? wtf? WHAT? where has this kid been? how did he show up now?

  3. mamacrazy30 says:

    do you know if the son is even still alive? where has this kid been???

  4. Anja says:

    The girls name is Rose Pizam. That makes it easier to search for info about that case. I know people will search their googly fingers off now!

    To the rest of the information; Wow. That’s all I can say!
    Your right, thanks for catching, fixed.
    B

  5. Anja says:

    One more note: Rose was the daughter of Marie-Charlotte Renault and Benjamin Pizem. The grandfathers name is Ronald Ron. (Ronnie/Ronny) Ronald Ron is the father of Benjamin Pizem. In other words, Marie-Charlotte fell in love with her husbands dad (father-in-law) and had two children with him.

    Again, Marie-Charlotte did not have a relationship with her own grandfather, but with Rose’ paternal grandfather.

    Important distinction her. Just though it was a little unclear in the article.
    Yes, he was her father in law. I have seen about 10 different spellings of all 3 names unfortunately

  6. Liz says:

    I’ve been thinking that she had another child no one knew about, because of the hospital bills she’s accrued. But those bills were accrued BEFORE her daughter was born, right? I thought we would find out she had an older child, not a toddler. Wow.

  7. Sister says:

    Just when I think my jaw can’t drop anymore. Oh dear Lord — help me control my anger and rage so I can do something productive (onward research!)!

  8. Brenda in Virginia says:

    I remember reading the case of the 4 yr old in Daily Mail UK and thinking what on earth will we hear of next.

    Since it appears unavoidable to realize MH must have endured sexual molestation as a child, her interest in a case from overseas IS quite strange (red flag?).

    As for the hospital bill, if MH was on medicare at the time…she’d not have received any bills…we the tax payers get to pay that one off. Seems this family has alot more to hide than any of us imagined.

  9. Brenda in Virginia says:

    ….hit send before proofing last post…but my reasoning for equating her probable molestation with her interest in this little girl’s murder would be the unorthodox relationship between the woman and her father-in-law. Maybe MH was relating to something similar that happened to her which caused this case to be of such interest? So bizzare.

    Blink, this may be a bombshell, but something tells me you have a few nukes to set off in the future!!!

    lol, I really gotta do something about the regulars around here, they are starting to “just know”

    WoW!!!

  11. Greg the Mongoose says:

    Melissa needs a DNA and brain scan done. She may be a product of some type of incest or has a brain that is chemically damaged. She is a twisted, evil, person who only feels pain for herself.

  12. hk says:

    Blink-

    Earlier when you posted the MH “relative” scoop and refused to disclose the link due to a minor child…

    Do you have any reason to believe MH son is somehow linked to TL?

    No, I was referring to the victim of Timothy Lawless. To my knowledge, there is no connection of this child to him.
    B

  13. Marie Scroggs says:

    I am personal friends with this family and the media is driving me insane with their untrue speculations and claims. Melissa Huckaby does NOT, nor has she EVER had a toddler son. She has ONE five-year old daughter. Her mother does NOT have custody of any toddler. PLEASE, cease and desist when you don’t have the facts.

    Respectfully, so is the source Marie. As far as the cease and desist language, I would be careful how you throw that around. Where you surprised Melissa did this allegedly? That answer will tell me how close to the family you are.

  14. munkeymunk says:

    Blink, we live in the area of grants pass, do u know where in town the family farm is or the name of it?? There has been nothing in the local news about it?!?! TIA :)

    Yes, I know exactly, working on that now.

  15. rebel says:

    It seems that Blink would have mentioned the fact that MH had another kid if she knew about it at the time of the TL arrest, don’t you think? I still have issues w/ the “relative” report, I think it’s been proven false by the very people trying to verify it, that have posted 120+ pages of genealogy showing no connection.

    But give Blink a little credit, if there was some connection, I doubt that 3 weeks would pass before she mentioned it…

    Rebel, that is not true, although admittedly I have not laid it out in a usable format yet, but I will. I was just wondering if you saw this recent arrest?

    WOW!!
    Been lurking for awhile – just HAD to comment on this…I am STUNNED! Why the hell did we no know about this before?? I can only IMAGINE what other bomb-shells we will find out about! I personally would NOT be surprised if the little boy is her “grandfathers” – I have had a baaad feeling about him since I saw him on tv – something stinks in that family.

    When you put her, her crime and the murder of Rose Pizam together; you have a desperate cry for help. Too bad she didn’t use her real voice…

  18. rebel says:

    Closed the bold tag for you… It just bothers me that having the same last name makes people think they’re related, I gave many sarcastic examples of where that obviously isn’t true. Jumping to conclusions bothers me I guess.

    I’m sorry for posting this here, but Blink, is there any chance you can help with the Amber Dubois case in Escondido, California? It seems as if there is a link between the suspect in two child molestation cases at Walmart stores in San Diego, which is near Escondido. (See links below for more information about these links).

    Amber’s family desperately needs national exposure to help bring her home. Also, the more people who view coverage of the suspect, the more likely someone will come forward with information about him.

    Please, please, please help!

    Thank you Blink, for all that you do!

    Here are links to recent media regarding Amber and the child molestation cases:

    http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/may/25/1m25amber235228-police-investigate-possible-link-b

    bluebird- I have been in contact with Amber’s Family and we are due to connect with some additional assets tomorrow. There is a possibility NG will do a tracker update on her case tomorrow, cant promise anything but I spoke with them today on Amber’s case.
    B

  21. blue_bird says:

    I meant to say that there is a potential link between the two molestation cases and Amber Dubois’ case. They have the potential suspect’s vehicle on camera as well as the suspect himself inside the Walmart store. The more people who see this the more likely someone will recognize him and come forward. Thank you.

  22. rebel says:

    Still bold!

    I’m not from Missouri, but I guess I have some of the “Show Me State” mentality… I’ll watch w/ interest & see how it unfolds. I appreciate you not calling me a troll any more!! :)

    Fair enough, lol.
    Well you have not been troll-ing :)
    B

  23. Tams says:

    IMO, the fact that Huckaby has another child – never seen or mentioned – points to the probability that that child is either:
    – A ‘disgrace’ to the family (ie: never speak of it!) – perhaps creepy lurking Pastor Grampa’s child (we have been suspecting his involvement in some way all along)
    – Something unspeakable has happened to that child, that the family is hiding. (Perpetrated by Huckaby? Thus the medical bills?)

    I still have to wonder if her bills due accrued to the hospital & ambulance company weren’t dealing with a number of attempted suicides/self mutilation, based on her swallowing razor blades (WTF?!) & reports from friends of wrist cutting. Clearly, for whatever reason, she feels a need to torture/punish herself & others. Her abuse as a child is screaming for all to hear.

    Just some thoughts.

  24. Jill from Texas says:

    Blink,

    Anthony Christopher Gomes? Related to Timothy John Lawless, a.k.a. Tim Gomes??? What’s the significance of the spousal abuse charge?

    Not that far Jill, Im just throwing it out there as AC Gomes, same last name as both Tim Gomes and other brothers Jeff Gomes and Gary Gomes, but same birthdate as Gary Gomes/Lawless. Who has been off any radar since he was incarcerated most recently in Alameda Cty for voluntary manslaughter.
    B

  25. Brenda in Virginia says:

    Dear Marie Scroggs,

    I hope you understand that just because you know Melissa and/or her family doesn’t mean they let you in on everything in their respective closets. It is not uncommon for families to hide facts that would disrupt their outward appearence.

    As every regular in here has heard over and over from me, I’m a preacher’s kid. My dad was also a family counselor for 10 yrs. He never divulged anything to even my mother re: what the families talked about…but trust me the kids I went to church and school with had NO problem letting out the dirty laundry and yes…things MUCH worse than an unplanned pregnancy were “hidden” for the sake of the families “good names”.

    Please do not be so surprised if indeed you have been fooled. It’s been common place for ages and all of us have been at one point or another.

  27. patsy given says:

    Blink,

    It seems like there was an earlier article on yours or one of the other websites in which a man who lived in the trailer park said something about Melissa not allowing her CHILDREN to play outdoors. I remember wondering at the time if there was another child. Could it be that I misread this? I believe he said he had mowed the lawn at the location where Melissa lives.

    Mandy

    That was the maintenance man of the MHP, and it may have been a source link, I dont recall writing about that specifically.

  28. Red Ranger says:

    Hey Blink, Is it possible that MH is not the biological or adoptive mother of her toddler “son”? I would not put it past her to have possesion of him and claim he was her boy. If he had become a nuisance she could have suitcased him up and sent him to camp, or wherever. Apparently, no one in the family would have reported her. This toddler could be on milk cartons now with his real parents wondering every day what became of him.

    I am ssuming LE is searching for him and will run some DNA ASAP.

    I am hearing she is the bio mom, but honestly, all angles should be checked out.

  29. rebel says:

    It seems to me that the Gary Lawless from Oakland is probably African-American, based on the neighborhood of East Oakland where it happened. It sounds like battling crack dealers, one of the guys he shot is named Sirreginald… I don’t like to stereotype, but that is a predominantly black neighborhood, & a white guy slinging dope in that area would be unusual…

    Sorry, I should have been more clear, this Gary Lawless, is not believed to be the brother of Timothy. He is the wrong age. The arrest I posted, possibly.
    B

  30. Mandy says:

    Please check to see if there was an earlier article on your website in which a man living in the trailer park
    had commented something about Melissa’s children not being allowed to play outdoors. At the time, when I read that I wondered if she had other children.

  31. Red Ranger says:

    http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_12119398

    Carlos Martinez, a handyman for the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park where both Sandra Cantu and Melissa Huckaby lived, remembered seeing Sandra going into Huckaby’s home about two weeks ago to play with Huckaby’s daughter.

    According to Martinez, Huckaby’s young child never played outside with the other children in the neighborhood.

    “Kids here are raised to play by themselves, go to the park, kick a ball around,” Martinez said. “Her kid never played outside. Sandra was the only girl I’ve ever seen go inside.”

  32. Greg the mongoose says:

    Amber Dubois case in Escondido, California looks like a runaway case to the media. My opinion is it is a pedophile in the San Diego area. The red truck seems to be turning up at attacks on young girls around San Diego Walmarts.

    I think at the beginning it definately did, and LE helped that along. By then it had cooled off too much to emphasize that IT IS NOT. This is a problem when you have an inexperienced department working on a non-family abduction.

  33. Greg the mongoose says:

    Volunteer firemen like to drive around in red trucks. Pretending to be law enforcement. Tip for Escondido police they should look into past convicted fake law enforcement.

  34. EyesWIDEOpen says:

    Blink,

    What can we, as typical citizens, do to help protect these children? My heart rips apart a little each time I read these stories; and all I want to do is walk away and reaffirm my love for my children to them.

    It doesn’t seem like there are a lot of alternatives for parents wishing to terminate parental rights without getting DCFS and/or family involved. What if someone just wants to be rid of their children, with no legal bindings, repurcussions (sp?) or family involvement? DCFS just wants to maintain a family unit, and that is too often to the detriment (and/or demise) of the child(ren) involved.

    There are outreach programs for SO MANY problems in life, but I don’t see any for people wishing to give up their children voluntarily beyond infancy. I don’t see anything that screams to parents “don’t kill your pre-schooler, we can help”. Horrible way to put it, but it is what it is.

    Just babble with a bit of wishful thinking, I guess.

  35. vidda says:

    Hello, everybody ! Just watched JVM ..she mentioned information from Melissa H computer. Supposedly, she was researching a case in Egypt, where the kid was found/discarted in suitcase..Mimiking , you would think

    Vidda- its in the article.

  36. erinps5 says:

    In regards to the Amber Dubois case, I also believe it is an abduction by a sexual predator, although I am not convinced it is the Walmart guy or that they are related due to the age difference between Amber and the other two victims. Amber is 14, the others are 5 and 6. But, either way, I think the more publicity the better. I live nearby, and I can tell you, her pic is plastered everywhere in the San Diego area. Blink, I hope you can help with this case. Thanks for all you are doing for little Sandra’s case. I have been following it closely through your site and my gut tells me you are totally on the right track.

    I just posted a very similar thought on SM. I do not believe there is any correlation between the Walmart Burgundy truck guy and the subject responsible for Amber’s disappearance. These offenders are not even in the same zip code, figuratively.
    That said, burgundy truck guy needs to be caught, and I promise you somebody who saw that video knows who it is

    Hey Blink,

    I have to say, your work is amazing . I look forward to it every day. This isn’t the best place to post this, but I just had to offer some constructive criticism and I didn’t know where else to post as I check this from my phone and don’t see all the links sometimes.

    Please double check your spelling and word usage. You often spell things incorrectly for the words usage. For example: ”you’re” vs ”your” or ”there”, ”their” or ”they’re”. It is just very distracting and has been irking me for a while, and I’m not trying to be rude at all, I absolutely love your site and work. I think you’re incredibly intelligent and professional, just something that may slip by in the moment.

    Thanks! <3

    lol, it definately does, I agree. I am the first to admit my fervor gets in the way of my grammar. In fairness, there are 2 proffs that will see your comment and haunt my house for days.. Also, I am incredibly gorgeous and I dont have to care about any of that.

  40. hoping says:

    Have they said or are they able to determine the first time MH (or whoever had access to her computer) researched the Pizam case? It really puts a stronger premeditation case together versus the “accident” cover up theory that I’ve heard people talk about.

    DISGUSTING!! Maybe I didn’t pay as much attention before, or it wasn’t so much in the news, or both, but these stories are showing up more and more!

    Susan Levy of nearby Modesto, mother of slain Washington intern Chandra Levy, appeared arm-in-arm with Angie and Joe Chavez, Sandra Cantu’s aunt and uncle, as they spoke with reporters.

    Levy said she was there to support the family as they, too, dealt with the tragic loss of a child. Authorities recently issued an arrest warrant in the 2001 Levy killing.

    2:55 p.m.: Melissa Huckaby is on suicide watch, officials say

    San Joaquin County sheriff’s Deputy Les Garcia said Melissa Huckaby is on suicide watch in an observation cell away from other inmates for her own safety, though there have been no incidents. Huckaby is refusing visits, he said.

    2:45 p.m.: Former employer talks about Huckaby

    According to the Associated Press: Huckaby worked as a checker at a Food for Less grocery store in a strip mall just east of the mobile park for nearly four years, until she was fired sometime in 2004, said Matt Duncan, an assistant manager at the store now known as FoodMaxx.

    “I wouldn’t have anything bad to say about her, until now,” said Duncan, who has worked at the store off-and-on for about 10 years. “I would’ve never suspected her to do something like this.”

    10:40 a.m.: Police: Sunday school teacher only suspect in Sandra Cantu slaying

    Tracy police spokesman Sgt. Tony Sheneman has wrapped up the 30-minute news conference on the arrest of Melissa Huckaby in the slaying of Sandra Cantu.

    Huckaby was emotional at various times during her interview with police, including when she was handcuffed. He would not say whether Huckaby’s statement amounted to a confession.

    He said he was told Huckaby was not at the first vigil for Sandra, but there was an indication from people at the second that she attended that one.

    Sheneman said: “Professionally, while we’re confident and pleased an arrest has been made, it will not reverse what happened. There’s no joy in this.”

    Asked what people should learn from the fact that a woman is suspected in the slaying, he said, “You have to be 100 percent aware of who your children are talking to.”

    The farm workers who found the suitcase have refused to accept any reward money, he said.

    10:29 a.m.: Police: DA will say whether they believe slaying of Sandra was premeditated

    Asked about a motive, Sheneman said, “I can’t discuss that.”

    Whether the slaying was premeditated will be up to the District Attorney to decide in filing the charges, Sheneman said. He said police do have an indication whether it was premeditated, but he would not elaborate.

    Asked whether Huckaby’s child was taken into protective custody, he said, “You can make that presumption but I can’t confirm anything.”

    The arraignment is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Manteca courthouse, but may change.

    10:22 a.m.: Police believe they know where slaying occurred

    More from Tracy police spokesman Sgt. Tony Sheneman:

    Melissa Huckaby did not have a lawyer with her when she talked to police last night.

    Sandra’s family was in disbelief when they learned the suspect was someone they knew.

    Will not speculate on whether she was molested. The autopsy results and search warrants are still sealed.

    Police questioned her twice before Thursday.

    “It’s usual for a woman statistically, according to the FBI, for a woman to be involved in anything like this.”

    Police believe they know where the slaying occurred but won’t say where.

    10:14 a.m.: No other suspects in Sandra Cantu slaying

    Comments from Tracy police spokesman Sgt. Tony Sheneman:

    Booked on suspicion of kidnapping and murder. Melissa drove herself to the police department to participate in an interview at 11 p.m. Spoke to us til 1:30 a.m. After, she was transported to San Joaquin County Jail.

    Many agencies worked “to bring this case to closure.”

    “There are no other suspects in this case. We do not anticipate any other arrests.”

    10:04 a.m.: Awaiting start of news conference on arrest of Melissa Huckaby in Sandra Cantu slaying

    We’re minutes away from the start of the news conference. No one at the podium yet.

    News conference on arrest of Melissa Huckaby in Sandra Cantu slaying

    Authorities have scheduled a 10 a.m. news conference Saturday following the arrest overnight of Sunday school teacher Melissa Huckaby in the slaying of 8-year-old Tracy girl Sandra Cantu.

    Live updates from the news conference will be reported here.

    I only point this out because these are time-lined updates. The one from Mercurynews.com was updated 2 days after the statement was made/posted, but no additional time-lined information was added after this statement, which could only lead one to believe it was edited on 4/13 adjust a previous statement (# of children MH had).

    Blink-
    In my last blog I asked if you knew if MH’s family in Grants Pass, Oregon had any affiliation with Roy Master’s Foundation of Human Understanding (Original name: Institute of Hypnosis)?

    Roy has a very large following and that connection would be very scary.
    I do not.

    Here is a copy of the original text w/link to the mercurynews.com articles, dated 4/12, quoting “two young children?. I am convinced it was edited, now.

    I’m sorry, here’s another article from 4/11… how has this slipped by so many (or maybe just us? LOL) for 6 wks?

    Melissa Huckaby, 28, is on suicide watch at the San Joaquin County Jail said Deputy Les Garcia on Saturday.

    Huckaby, a Sunday school teacher was arrested late Friday for the murder of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.

    Neighbors and former co-workers of Huckaby were shocked by the arrest and describe her as a quiet woman who kept to herself.

    Carlos Martinez, a handyman at the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park where Huckaby lived with her two daughters and grandparents said, “They were a weird family. They didn’t speak with anyone.”
