The case of the four family members who were kidnapped from a business in Merced County, California this week has taken a tragic turn.
As readers will recall, on Wednesday, we covered the awful disappearance of 36-year-old Jasdeep Singh, his 39-year-old brother Amandeep Singh, his 27-year-old partner Jasleen Kaur, and the couple’s 8-month-old baby Aroohi Dheri. Now, police in Merced have confirmed that all four of them were discovered dead in a remote farm area of the Central Valley county — and police have apprehended a person of interest in the case.

In a news briefing on Wednesday evening, Merced County Sheriff Vernon Warnke confirmed the bodies of all four family members were discovered at about 5:30 p.m. local time by a farm worker in Merced County. The victims, Warnke said, were discovered “relatively close together” by that worker “in an extremely rural farm area.” The sheriff did not disclose a possible cause of death for any of the victims.
Also yesterday, police announced that they had apprehended a person of interest in the kidnappings. A 48-year-old man identified as Jesus Manuel Salgado (pictured above, right) was taken into custody after cops approached him at some point on Tuesday. He had used an ATM card of one of the victims at a bank machine in the nearby city of Atwater. According to the Associated Press, Salgado allegedly attempted suicide prior to being detained by cops. He survived, though, and he is currently in a local hospital in critical condition. Police have not been able to question him yet.
