Authorities say the suspect in the kidnapping and killing of a central California family was a former employee who had a longstanding dispute with them
California Family Kidnapped
Salgado allegedly kidnapped an 8-month-old baby, her parents and uncle at gunpoint in Merced on Monday and killed them and left their bodies in an almond orchard shortly after, authorities said. The bodies were discovered by a farm worker late Wednesday in the remote area near the town of Dos Palos, about 30 miles south of Merced.
Authorities said the abductor was a convicted robber who tried to kill himself a day after the kidnappings. Salgado was in critical condition when taken into custody but has been talking to police, Warnke said. The released surveillance video showed the suspect first walking by the property before talking to one of the men. Later, it shows him leading the men, who had their hands zip-tied behind their backs, into the back seat of Amandeep Singh's pickup truck. The suspect then went back to the trailer that served as the business office and led Jasleen Kaur, who was carrying her baby in her arms, out and into the truck before the suspect drove them away.
The victims were Punjabi Sikhs, a community in central California that has a significant presence in the trucking business with many of them driving trucks, owning trucking companies or other businesses associated with trucking. Relatives of Salgado contacted authorities and told them he had admitted to them his involvement in the kidnapping, Warnke told KFSN-TV on Tuesday. Salgado tried to take his own life before police arrived at a home in nearby Atwater. He has since been hospitalized.Salgado was previously convicted of first-degree robbery with the use of a firearm in Merced County, attempted false imprisonment and an attempt to prevent or dissuade a victim or witness.
