In a new complaint filed Thursday, prosecutors say Melissa Huckaby gave the girl noted in the second incident above what they termed "a harmful substance" in January. Further, there is another report of Huckaby similarly poisoning an adult man in March.
The young girl has been confirmed to have recovered from the incident, but the man's whereabouts are unknown.
Melissa Huckaby was scheduled to appear in San Joaquin County Superior Court on Friday for further arraignment on the previous charges that she kidnapped, raped and murdered 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.
La Palma police Capt. Jim Enright has also previously said that Melissa Huckaby, 28, was considered a "person of interest" in two fires set at a home where she rented a room in 2007.
