SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A baby girl, her parents and uncle who were
kidnapped at gunpoint from their central California business two
days ago were found dead Wednesday, the sheriff of Merced County
said.
“Our worst fears have been confirmed,” Sheriff Vern Warnke told
reporters Wednesday night.
About 5:30 p.m., a farmworker found the bodies close together in
a Merced County orchard in an “extremely” rural and remote area,
he said.
The announcement came after authorities released surveillance
video of a man kidnapping 8-month-old Aroohi Dheri; her mother
Jasleen Kaur, 27; father Jasdeep Singh, 36; and uncle Amandeep
Singh, 39, on Monday.
Authorities said they were taken by a convicted robber who tried
to kill himself a day after the kidnappings.
“There’s no words right now to describe the anger I feel and the
senselessness of this incident,” Warnke said. “I said it
earlier: There’s a special place in hell for this guy.”
Investigators, including crime lab technicians from the
California Department of Justice, would be processing the crime
scene through the night, Warnke said. He didn’t immediately
supply other details.
Investigators were trying to discover a motive for the slayings,
the sheriff said.
“We have a whole family wiped out and for what? We don’t know
yet,” he said.
Relatives had been notified of the deaths, the sheriff said.
“We’re hoping that they can now at least have some kind of
closure,” Warnke said, adding: “It’s not the closure we were
hoping for; it’s not the closure they were hoping for.”
The family members were taken from their business in Merced, a
city of 86,000 people about 125 miles (200 kilometers) southeast
of San Francisco in the San Joaquin Valley, California’s
agricultural heartland.
Relatives of Jesus Salgado, 48, contacted authorities reporting
that he had admitted to them he was involved with the
kidnapping, Warnke told KFSN-TV on Tuesday. Salgado tried to
take his own life before police arrived at a home in nearby
Atwater, and he has since been hospitalized.
Warnke said Salgado has talked to investigators but he didn’t
provide details.
Efforts to reach Salgado’s family were unsuccessful Wednesday.
The video released earlier Wednesday 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 Kaur, who was carrying her
baby in her arms, out and into the truck before the suspect then
drove away.
Family members said nothing was stolen from the trucking company
but that their relatives were all wearing jewelry. Warnke had
said that after the kidnappings, an ATM card belonging to one of
the victims was used in Atwater, about 9 miles (14 kilometers)
north of Merced.
Warnke said the kidnapper made no ransom demands.
Relatives of the victims had earlier asked anyone who owns a
convenience store or gas station in the area to check their
surveillance cameras for images of the suspect or the family.
They said they were worried the baby wasn’t being fed because
the family didn’t have any baby food with them at the time of
the kidnapping.
“Please help us out, come forward, so my family comes home
safe,” Sukhdeep Singh, a brother of the victims, said, his voice
breaking.
Salgado was previously convicted of first-degree robbery with
the use of a firearm in Merced County, as well as attempted
false imprisonment and an attempt to prevent or dissuade a
victim or witness. He was sentenced to 11 years in state prison
in that case, according to the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation.
He was released from prison in 2015 and discharged from parole
three years later. He also has a conviction for possession of a
controlled substance, the corrections agency said.
Investigators have not found a link between Salgado and the
family to show they knew each other before the kidnapping.
“As of right now, we believe it was random,” Deputy Alexandra
Britton said. “We don’t have evidence to prove otherwise.”
Family members told KXTV-TV that the office for Unison Trucking
Inc., the family’s business, had only opened about a week
earlier.
“My husband is very peaceful and calm person. We don’t have any
clue why they kidnapped them,” said Jaspreet Caur, wife of the
kidnapped uncle.
The sheriff said detectives believe the kidnapper destroyed
unspecified evidence in an attempt to cover his tracks.
The sheriff’s office said that firefighters on Monday found
Amandeep Singh’s truck on fire. Merced Police Department
officers went to Amandeep Singh’s home, where a family member
tried to reach him and the couple. When they were not able to
reach their family members, they called the Merced County
Sheriff’s office to report them missing, the office said.
Merced County Undersheriff Corey Gibson said a farmer found a
phone belonging to one of the victims on a street in Dos Palos,
a town 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Merced, and
answered it when the family called it.
