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

[SuziQ]

Hopefully the video is released soon. It is a must watch. Geeze the ATM transaction wasn't that much?

 

[MassGuy]

He's sedated because everytime he wakes up he's been violent. Lovely.

 

[Erutan]

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

Oh, I must have missed that.
Wonder if the perp showed up and asked if they were hiring, or some other use ?
The victim's family -- from a video link upthread -- seems to think the perp was unknown to them.

 

[legalmomma]

In 2005 he acted by himself and he knew the victims

 

[SuziQ]

Every time he is brought out of sedation he is violent.

 

[legalmomma]

No evidence found in the burned truck

 

[SuziQ]

Oh this is sad. Family spokesman speaking

 

[charminglane]

I appreciate the Sheriff calling the missing "our family."

 

[Teche]

Looks like the sheriff could put the hurt to him.

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

This is crazy. Why the two trips taking first the men then the unrestrained mom and baby. Did mom call 911 in the time she was left alone with baby?

 

[LaborDayRN]

I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like this before.

Initially I had thought perhaps this was something similar to Todd Kohlhepp but I doubt it now. I still hope against all reason that it's a similar situation and LE can find them being held captive somewhere.

 

[Erutan]

I appreciate the Sheriff calling the missing "our family."

Agreed !
Made me tear up, that was so kind.

 

[Megnut]

How far from the business was the burned out truck?

Who gave him the keys to the vehicle? How'd he know there would ne a vehicle to take or that any of the family would be there?

How did he know the mom would still be there, no cops called, during the time he drove off with the male victims before returning?

Creepy how he pauses on his way in, almost as if he is looking right at the camera.

I’m guessing that the mother was somehow restrained during the time he took the two men away in the truck.

pure speculation working through my thoughts, first that video was VERY disturbing.
What if he had come by before and asked if he could pick up trash for a few dollars, and that was his in, he had texted that he was almost done, they came out to look, then texted he was done, they came out and greeted him, when in there he did what he did?

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?

 

[Erutan]

From the video clips shown in the presser, it looked like the perp took the man and came back for the woman and baby, and she was not zip tied ?
So then I thought, he must have disabled the land lines (if they had that, some places do not due to cell phone coverage), or took their phones so she couldn't call for help ?

What about her running out of the building and flagging down a passing car ?
It was infuriating to see the passing (oblivious) traffic.
But then-- what if the perp said : "I'll hurt your husband and brother-in-law if you do anything."
In which case I suspect many of us would do nothing that would risk our loved ones being hurt !
Horrid.

I'd assume they're pinging their phones and have been from the time of the abductions.
M00.

 

[SuziQ]

Fwiw, I think LE said she was restrained. I will have to listen again.

wondering if maybe they only had cell phones and he took them? I think he had to lock her somewhere for those few minutes he left with the men.
