The story of the missing California family does not have a happy ending.
Eight-month-old Aroohi Dheri, her parents – Jasleen Kaur, 27, and Jasdeep Singh, 36 – and her uncle, Amandeep Singh, 39, have all been found.
Sadly, they are all dead.
Horrific Crime
The family is believed to have been kidnapped by Jesus Manuel Salgado, 48.
Salgado was taken into custody after having attempted to take his own life.
Video surveillance showed him taking the family, including the baby.
Exactly why he conducted the kidnapping is not yet known, although authorities believe it was financially motivated.
Merced County Sheriff (MCSO) Vern Warnke broke the news, stating, “Tonight our worst fears have been confirmed.
“We found the four people from the kidnapping and they are, in fact, deceased.
“There are no words right now to describe the anger I feel and the senselessness of this incident.
“There’s a special place in hell for this guy.”
On the apprehension of Saldago, the MSCO stated, “On October 4, 2022, in the morning hours, Merced County Sheriff Detectives received information that one of the victim’s ATM cards was used at an ATM located at a bank in the City of Atwater.
“Investigators obtained the surveillance photo of a subject making a bank transaction where the person is similar in appearance to the surveillance photo from the original kidnapping scene.”
The kidnapping itself is still under investigation.
