California woman mistaken for suspect in girl's killing

[seabeyond]

Yes, she is 28. Yes, she is a Sunday school teacher, and yes, her name is Melissa Huckaby.

But the woman from Manteca, California, said she wants people to know that she is not that Melissa Huckaby.

This Melissa Huckaby lives about 14 miles from Tracy, California, where the other one was arrested and accused of raping and killing 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.

That hasn't stopped national talk shows from calling her and people from threatening her, forcing her friends to bring guns to church in an effort to protect her.

Her MySpace page has been mistaken so many times for the one of the murder suspect that she has had to shut it down, Huckaby said.

1. That sucks. I'm sure she's going to be hearing this for quite some time. n/t

2. I have someone with my name follow me around the country

It's purely by coincidence, maybe Kevin Bacon could make a movie about it. This guy has my exact same name, and in three major moves he has lived within a short distance of me. Twice now, a few blocks away. I keep his phone number handy to refer calls.
