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

[Charlot123]

What do you think his motive could possibly have been?

Did he murder everyone he's ever worked for?

Should employers just not hire ex-cons?

I don’t know if we can understand the motive, because leaving a baby die from exposure means, no motive. Just accept it.

Are you talking about possible financial squabbles?

Well, had JS not attacked another family, much earlier, one could discuss it, but it seems that the problem was on JS’s side, within his head. Would you disagree? He was a recidivist criminal.

We have hired Sikhs to do some yard work. My impression: you have to negotiate, but once it is over, they 100% stick to the deal. So if they promised something to JS, they ought to have done it. This is something I want people to understand.

As people, as a group, Sikhs are very quiet, friendly and not revengeful, it has been well-shown in certain criminal cases in GB. (They seem to be victimized, although the case I remember was of a different nature. And, culturally, they are not the people to take revenge on the families, or such).

Ita.
An injustice collector.

I have said this before, Jesus Manuel Salgado is an injustice collector. The way he killed Aroohi Dheri, Jasleen Kaur, Jasdeep Singh, and Amandeep Singh tells me this is a work of an injustice collector. Salgado had deep seated resentment issues. Injustice collectors are prone to having feuds with other people. They are prone to conflicts.

The forensic behavior of collectors is exhausting!! Personally, I've long used and preferred the term "insult collector" since most are later shown to be imagined or otherwise perceived injustices by the collector versus true injustice.

Nonetheless, if the motive of this crime turns out to be history repeating itself where the prime suspect was once again the former truck-driving employee who like in 2005 was terminated, this is some serious one-track-mind revenge!

I'd also be interested in his 8-year prison history and who he was locked up with and any associations he had with prison gangs where this suspect might be taking orders from behind the wall. MOO

I agree with the term insult collector. They take everything as an insult. They are perpetually aggrieved. When I think of the term insult collector, that would fit the likes of Gertrude Baniszewski, Lori Drew, Jennifer Petkov, Betty Broderick, Jodi Arias, Melissa Huckaby, Andrew Cunanan, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Panya Kamrab, Campo Elias Delgado, Patrick Sherrill, Elliot Rodger, Eric Harris, Adam Lanza, Salvador Ramos, Bobby Crimo, Thomas Hamilton, Martin Bryant, David Burke, Andrew Kehoe, Julio González, Timothy McVeigh, and Osama bin Laden.

He clearly is narrowly focused, which involves trucking.

Question - did or might the police have used heat seeking technologies to find the family?
I keep wondering if they might have rescued the baby this way. But maybe too much land to cover?

I think it would have been too much possible land to cover. Unfortunately.

Agree. I'll bet all the agencies who searched for this family were devastated about Aroohi. The adults as well, but her death would have been particularly hard.

They were using air assets in the search, likely helicopters and drones. Both would likely have infrared instruments (i.e. heat seeking) on board. But I am unaware of any reporting about this. It's common technology these days though.

 

[KonaHonu]

Agree. I'll bet all the agencies who searched for this family were devastated about Aroohi. The adults as well, but her death would have been particularly hard.

It is hard on everyone. I am impressed by the turnout and response at the vigils. Once a label is placed on victims it becomes easy for people to adopt a "glad it didn't happen to us" mentality. I don't just mean race. I could be as simple as labeling a victim a farmworker, which coule be any race. Merced did not do that. They showed up to express love and support!

I am really impressed with the sheriff. He is exactly how I envision a county sheriff in a rural area should be. I grew up in a rural area and our county sheriff was friends with my parents so I knew him pretty well. He was no match for this guy!

Relatives of CA family killed find 8-month-old victim's shoe on floor where kidnapping happened​

[...]

Relatives of this Merced County family were back where the kidnapping originally took place on Sunday -- back at the trucking company that their family owns.

Bhela and Amarinder Singh went inside of the trucking company's trailer and unexpectedly found 8-month-old victim Aroohi's shoe.

"We just walked in for the first time and saw her little shoe on the floor. This was our little baby. Babies are off-limits. Baby Aroohi was off-limits and coming here, I have so much anger, so much anger for what I saw inside this trailer," said Bhela and Singh.

[...]

"My cousin JB, who was here with his family, will always be remembered as our quirky little cousin. He came from India and he was off to the races. He loved hanging out with us, his family, he loved barbecues, and he loved the rumble of the American V8," said Bhela referring to Aroohi's dad Jasdeep.

"He loved being with family and community, his favorite holiday was Thanksgiving, and I was just visiting about two weeks before. About a week before he was kidnapped and murdered, and we were planning on our next Thanksgiving," said Singh, referring to Aroohi's uncle Amandeep.

Sadly that won't happen.

It's more than heartbreaking what this family has endured, and is enduring. They will need incredible support and strength to get through this.

Suspect In Merced Murder of Four Family Members Is Formally Charged, Arraigned

One of two suspects in a quadruple homicide last week in Merced was arraigned Monday morning in Merced County court, four days after he was arrested for their kidnapping.

[...]

Speaking to KTVU, Warnke said the kidnapping and murder were committed "out of money or anger — and it could be the both of those apply here."

Rene Calvazos, 64, who lives near the parking lot where the Singhs ran their business, told the Chronicle that he would see Salgado in the area. "He would walk up and down the street for quite a ways in front of that business and beyond, yelling at people," Calvazos says. Calvazos was one of the first to contact authorities when images of a masked man kidnapping the Singh-Kaur family at gunpoint were played on television.

He’s got a “suicide vest” on, which is what we used to call it. We put those on inmates who were actively trying to end their life or were at high risk of doing it.

That could explain why he hasn’t been officially booked into jail. JMO!

Are we looking at a potential insanity defense? He asked for a couple months to obtain private counsel, can he even afford to do so?

Also asking this question based on the nearby resident who said, JS walks up and down the road yelling at people. Has he been homeless recently?

I expected him to be medically frail because of the suicide attempt, but he looks and acts just fine on camera.
