The suspect in the kidnapping and deaths of four California family members, including a baby, may have worked for one of the family businesses in the past, the Merced County sheriff said in interviews Thursday.
Jesus Manuel Salgado was booked Thursday evening on murder and kidnapping counts in the deaths of the 8-month-old child, and her two parents and uncle, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
It was not clear if Salgado, 48, has been formally charged.
A motive in the abductions has not been released, but Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke told NBC affiliate KSEE of Fresno on Thursday that Salgado worked for a family business in the past.
“One of the family members had talked to me previously and stated that he had worked for one of the family companies,” Warnke told the station, but he did not know which company or what part of the family.
