California Kidnapping: Abducted Indian-origin Family Of 4 in the US Found Dead

California Kidnapping: The infant girl, her parents, and her uncle were found dead on Wednesday, according to the sheriff of Merced County. They had been taken at gunpoint from their central California company two days prior.
Vern Warnke, the sheriff, told reporters Wednesday night that "our worst concerns have been validated."
The remains were discovered together by a farmworker in an orchard in Merced County, he claimed.
Authorities published surveillance video showing a man abducting 8-month-old Aroohi Dheri, her mother Jasleen Kaur, her father Jasdeep Singh, and her uncle Amandeep Singh, 39, on Monday. This led to the announcement.
Authorities said that a convicted robber who attempted suicide one day after the kidnappings was responsible for their disappearance.

There are now no words that can adequately express my rage and the absurdity of this occurrence, according to Warnke. I've said it before: This guy has a particular spot in hell.

According to Warnke, investigators, including technicians from the California Department of Justice's crime lab, would process the crime scene all night. Other information wasn't immediately given by him.

How was the family abducted?

The family members were abducted from their place of work in Merced, California, an agricultural hub of California with a population of 86,000 located 125 miles (200 kilometres) southeast of San Francisco.

Jesus Salgado, 48, confirmed to his relatives that he was engaged in the kidnapping, according to Warnke, who spoke to KFSN-TV on Tuesday. Salgado attempted suicide before police arrived at a neighbouring Atwater home, and he has subsequently been admitted to the hospital.

On Wednesday, attempts to contact Salgado's relatives were futile.

In the earlier Wednesday footage that was made public, the suspect initially passes by the property before approaching one of the males. It then depicts him guiding the men, whose wrists were tied with zip ties behind their backs, into the pickup truck's back seat.

The suspect then drove away after leading Jasdeep Singh, who was holding her infant in her arms, out of the trailer that served as the business office and into the vehicle.
Nothing was taken from the trucking company, according to the family, although all of their relatives were wearing jewellery. An ATM card belonging to one of the victims was used after the kidnappings in Atwater, which is located approximately 9 miles (14 kilometres) north of Merced, according to Warnke.

In what is thought to be a financially motivated crime, Warnke claimed that the kidnapper made no demands for a ransom.

Victims' family members had already requested that everyone in the neighbourhood who runs a convenience shop or petrol station check their security cameras for footage of the suspect or the family. Because the family didn't have any baby food with them at the time of the kidnapping, they claimed they were concerned the infant wasn't being fed.
Brother of the victims Sukhdeep Singh pleaded for people to come out and assist them, saying, "Please help us out, come forward, so my family comes home safe."

In a previous news conference, Warnke stated that police had attempted to speak with Salgado, who had been sedated while in the hospital, but had been unsuccessful. They hoped to do so on Wednesday with the assistance of medical professionals.

I can assure you that he has been violent every time he has even been close to consciousness, Warnke stated.

Who is the Kidnapper?

Salgado had previously been found guilty in Merced County of attempted false imprisonment, first-degree robbery with the use of a pistol, and an attempt to deter or discourage a victim or witness. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, he was given a term of 11 years in state prison in that case.
In 2015, he was let out of prison, and three years later, he was released from parole. He was also found guilty of possessing a controlled substance, according to the prisons department.

There is no connection between Salgado and the family that would indicate that they were acquainted prior to the kidnapping.

Right now, according to deputy Alexandra Britton, "we think it was random." "We don't have any proof to the contrary,"

According to family relatives, the family's company, Unison Trucking Inc., had only recently opened its office.

"My hubby is a very tranquil and composed individual. Jaspreet Kaur, the wife of the uncle who was abducted, claimed, "We have no idea why they kidnapped them.

Detectives, according to the sheriff, think the kidnapper destroyed unnamed evidence in an effort to hide his tracks.
According to the sheriff's office, Amandeep Singh's truck caught fire on Monday.

Officers from the Merced Police Department proceeded to Amandeep Singh's house, where a relative was attempting to contact him and the couple. They called the Merced County Sheriff's office to report their family members missing when they were unable to reach them, according to the office.

According to Merced County Undersheriff Corey Gibson, a farmer in Dos Palos, a town located 48 kilometres (30 miles) southwest of Merced, discovered a victim's phone on a street and answered it when the family called.
According to Warnke, the suspect was motivated by money and conspired with someone else, even though authorities have not uncovered a motivation or identified whether Salgado had any helpers.
