Episode #88 // The Murder of Sandra Cantu

In 2009, 8-year-old Sandra Cantu would go missing between play dates with friends. The FBI profiled a male kidnapper, and police focused on this profile. Police were so focused on this profile, that they didn’t think much of the strange behavior of a female neighbor who kept inserting herself into the investigation. But when Sandras body would be found, a connection would be made between Sandra and the female neighbor. Was this woman involved, and if so, what was her motive to kidnap and murder a child?
