The Sunday school teacher charged with killing 8-year-old Sandra Cantu of Tracy, Calif., and stuffing her body in a suitcase was a good mom to her 5-year-old daughter – and didn't seem capable of hurting anyone, Melissa Huckaby's ex-husband told Good Morning America on Friday.

Sandra Cantu was remembered Thursday as "Tracy's precious angel," but she may well have been everybody's little girl.

Police are searching for any other alleged victims of a Sunday school teacher accused of raping and killing an 8-year-old girl from Tracy, California. While conceding "there has been no indication this has happened," Tracy Police Sgt. Tony Sheneman said the concern is that the suspect, Melissa Huckaby, is a Sunday school teacher and did have contact with children.

Six people were killed — including four children — after a shooting at a home in an upscale California neighborhood, police said on Monday.

Children were among the victims of a plane crash that killed as many as 17 people Sunday in Butte, Montana, according to authorities in Oroville, California, where the aircraft stopped for fuel.
