Search Continues For California Baby, Parents and Uncle Kidnapped at Gunpoint
The Merced County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that investigators identified Jesus Salgado, 48, after he used a victims' ATM card. The family was kidnapped Monday at gunpoint from a business in Merced, the office said, without providing further details.
Detectives obtained a surveillance photo from the ATM in Atwater, a city about 9 miles north of Merced, and “the person is similar in appearance to the surveillance photo from the original kidnapping scene,” the office said in a statement. The sheriff’s office had released two still images of a possible suspect seen in surveillance footage, and asked for the public’s help in identifying him.
Detectives received information that identified Salgado as a person of interest and that he attempted to take his own life before police arrived, the statement said, without specifying where he was taken into custody. The sheriff's office will hold a news conference Wednesday to give more details.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
