That's my problem. Why leave with the men then return for the mom and baby? It makes no sense unless something went terribly wrong.

I don't think Jasleen endured anything but fear. He shot her before her child. I am 90% convinced we will learn soon that it was to the back of the head. SAK kit will be negative. His beef was with the guys.
Since the sheriff has far more information than we do, I'm tempted to believe him and wait for more of the story. But if this is just about a disgruntled employee, that seems hard to believe. Who asks a friend to help them kill the boss who fired them? [No answers please!]Sheriff still thinks Salgado had an accomplice…. And hoping that forensics will identify any further suspect…
“I believe that he had someone else with him and at least helping him do some of the things. As far as the homicide itself, we are going to let the evidence take us where it needs to take us,” Warnke said.
Jesus Salgado, suspect in Merced kidnapping, killing booked into jail
The suspect in the kidnapping and killing of a Merced family was booked into jail.
I have found that police agencies usually do not like to have people undergoing medical treatment in custody since that makes them legally responsible for the costs. I suspect it is a touchy issue because "in custody" depends much on facts not just orders. For example, if he is handcuffed to his hospital bed that is different than simply being in a coma in the same bed.
I don't see the hate crime here. I see the obvious potential. But this seems to be a dispute with a former employer. Just because they had different races, ethnicities, or religions does not mean it is about hate nor should we assume so automatically.
Not necessarily, could be the farmworker who found them.
The child was not shot.

Ya, I agree. Its a long time. Two years later. Why? IDK his motive seems more than just being angry at the family. Maybe he was jealous of thier success and he was a criminal element. And he knew it. IMO unfortunately the thing is their business is so close to the highway and its isolated by the fencing. If they had a more secure setup perhaps this may not have occurred. Likte perhaps a card reader swipe at the gate and the gate monitored by CCTV so they don't let the person in. Although in the video it shows the victim answering his phone so I wonder if the perp called him and said something trustworthy to let the perp into the pemisis. IDK I guess they were trusting people and even though they had a dispute and angry text messages he sent the victims they couldn't imagine this. So sad. If only they had not let him onto the property in the fierst place. I wish it had a different outcome.
