This morning the news broke regarding the murder of 8 year-old Sandra Cantu. Melissa Huckaby, 28, was arrested and charged on suspicion of kidnapping and killing the young girl. I read this first on Fox News and they had the picture of a Melissa Huckaby, but it was the wrong Huckaby.
The first picture is the correct Huckaby.
Fox has changed the picture, but there is no mention of the mistake. Several other news agencies did the same thing.
Below is a screen shot of the Post Chronicle’s web site regarding the story. They are using both the correct picture and an incorrect one of another Melissa Huckaby.

The picture of the wrong Melissa Huckaby was obviously lifted from her MySpace page. Below is a screen shot of that page. Note the message on the right side. “Miss Awissa just so you are all aware…I am NOT the Melissa huckaby associated with the Sandra Cantu case.”

How would you like to wakeup to your face being plaster all over the Internet as a child murderer?
