CA - 4 Family Members Kidnapped From Business, Merced County, Oct 2022 *arrest*

[SpicyFruit]

I can see that happening... Can I get some water, use your bathroom, etc.

They had just opened the location on Monday, maybe he was even there for a "interview".

 

[MassGuy]

How was she not able to call for help? He may have threatened to kill her husband and BIL if she did. This poor family, I am so sad for them. I hope they are all alive. I wonder if Jesus' family knows any more info, what did he confess to them?

It's also possible she was initially restrained, but he cut the zip ties so she could walk with the baby.

One of the men greeted him and they walked back together.

In an interview the cousin said the suspect was outside the store collecting garbage, and when they went inside they were going to give him more recyclables to take with him. They offered him juice to make him whole and shortly after that, were abducted.

bolding mine.
Hmmm.....
It sounded like the perp's family were cooperating ?

Still hoping for good news.

Agreed. ^^^
It makes me furious to think they'd initially trusted what he said ?

Some people are more trusting than others, and there's nothing wrong with that !

In an interview the cousin said the suspect was outside the store collecting garbage, and when they went inside they were going to give home more recyclables to take with him. They offered him juice to make him whole and shortly after that, were abducted.

Not doubting the cousin, but how does he know that?

He could have taken their phones?

How sad.
Ugh !


Respectfully -- I wonder how the family knew that ?
Had this suspect been there before and nothing happened at the previous time ?
Were the victims in contact that day with family ?

Some people text a lot, it's just in their nature to keep fairly close contact .
M00.

 

[stargazer17]

Do we know how long he was gone? Just a few minutes? Where could he have put them or did he come back for the mom and baby and the men were still in the truck?

Maybe there's audio on the videos that we aren't hearing.

Agreed.
You both beat me to it !
Had this suspect been hanging around before and seemed harmless, until he wasn't ?
What exactly did he think to gain --if he did this ?
And I'm curious about other perp(s) being involved.
What could the motive be ?
My first guess would be robbery, but how much did this young family have ?
It takes time to build profit when in business for oneself.
M00.

The Merced County Sheriff’s Office has just released surveillance video of the kidnapping. The men were taken out with their hands zip tied behind their back. Jasleen & Aroohi were not restrained. Here are a few still shots until I can edit it together.

I get that not all would fit in the truck so two trips, but why not take the van?

 

[MassGuy]

Yeah. It appears to have been a matter of minutes. I'm guessing a car trunk or there's someone else involved.

 

[Erutan]

Yes, the video stills were silent-- to the public.
LE might have the audio and are keeping it under wraps per. the investigation ?

The first man to speak before the sheriff, said there wasn't video inside the business.

Is that guard dog chained up? Or not really a guard dog?

 

[Hope32]

Yeah. It appears to have been a matter of minutes. I'm guessing a car trunk or there's someone else involved.

From the time stamp in teh video the men were taken out at 9:12 AM and then at 9:19 AM the truck returned.
