The Tracy woman charged with the kidnapping, rape and murder of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu was back in court Friday, while the case against her takes another twist.
Melissa Huckaby was scheduled to appear in San Joaquin County Superior Court Friday for further arraignment on charges that she kidnapped, raped and murdered Sandra Cantu. The hearing was delayed.
Her appearance comes after prosecutors filed additional charges against Huckaby alleging that she tried to poison two people.
In a new complaint filed Thursday, prosecutors say Huckaby gave what they termed a "a harmful substance" to a 7-year-old girl in January and an adult man in March. The type of substance was not revealed in the complaint.
The girl has since recovered. The man has not been located.
