Body of missing California girl Sandra Cantu found in suitcase

TRACY, Calif. - Authorities roped off a mobile home park where an 8-year-old girl was last seen, searching for clues to her death after her body was found a few miles away in a suitcase dumped in an irrigation pond.
Police would not comment on the investigation into the death of Sandra Cantu, who was found Monday after a 10-day search, but they had previously searched several homes and towed several cars from the northern California mobile home park where she lived.Investigators had refused to say what prompted the searches at the park or what they had found. No suspects had been identified."Our heartfelt sympathies go to Sandra's family and friends," said Tracy Police Chief Janet Thiessen. "We will determine the person or persons responsible for this reprehensible act, and we will bring them to justice."


Authorities planned an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Thiessen said Sandra was found wearing the same clothes she had on when she was last seen on March 27: a pink "Hello Kitty" T-shirt and black leggings.
Sandra's disappearance sparked a widespread search that included hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officials, including the FBI, and drew more than 1,000 tips.Pictures of the girl with dark brown eyes and light brown hair were posted all over town, on business fronts, car windows and fire hydrants in this city of 78,000 about 60 miles east of San Francisco.Investigators said they spoke last week to the girl's father, Daniel Cantu, who lives in Mexico and works in southern California. Authorities would not give any details of the discussion, but the father told the Tracy Press newspaper he had not seen his daughter for a year.

Police said the suitcase was found by farmworkers who were draining the irrigation pond to water fields.Investigators cordoned off the area for hours while they searched the area for clues. The suitcase was eventually opened at the coroner's office, where Sandra's body was positively identified.More than 100 mourners — some holding candles, others wiping away tears — gathered outside the mobile home park Monday night while police blocked the entrance.
"I am still in shock," said Brandy Robles, 27, who held her 2-year-old son. "You see this in the movies. I never thought it would be real life — real to me."

GUITAR BOAT

Singer-songwriter Josh Pyke might have considered playing an upbeat version of Handel’s Water Music as he sailed across Sydney Harbour - but he was too busy keeping his floating guitar under control.


Tourists stared in amazement as Josh steered the large guitar, complete with outboard motor, around the harbour, creating one of the strangest sights since the arrival of the First Fleet from England back in 1788.


Josh’s voyage on board the SS Maton - named after Australian guitar manufacturer Maton, who designed the curious vessel - was caught on film for the video that will be coming out with his new single Make You Happy.



It is a giant-sized replica of the acoustic instrument Josh uses in the video.
Dressed in ancient mariner’s clothes, Josh, a maritime history fan, did not even get his feet wet as he cruised among the yachts and the ferries crossing the harbour.
‘I remember thinking that whenever I would see videos that had huge props, I’d never get a chance to copy anything like that,’ he said.



Then someone asked if I wanted to drive around Sydney Harbour for a couple of days in a boat shaped as a huge guitar.
‘I jumped at the chance, even though it sounded quite absurd at first.’


To be fair, it wasn’t the first time a sailor had taken to sea in a guitar-shaped boat. US singer Lenny Kravitz did the same thing in 1990 - but he wasn’t on Sydney Harbour. ‘I also saw a picture on the internet from the 1960s of a man in a boat fashioned in the shape of a guitar but I suspect the one that I was provided with was a bit more sophisticated.’
