The Merced sheriff's office said that a local farmer found the bodies of 36-year-old Jasdeep Singh, 27-year-old Jasleen Kaur, their eight-month-old child Aroohi Dheri, and the baby's uncle and Jasdeep's brother, 39-year-old Amandeep Singh, in an orchard in "an extremely rural area".
The family was in the trucking business and is originally from Hoshiarpur district in Punjab.
"Tonight, our worst fears have been confirmed. We found the four people from the kidnapping and they are, in fact, deceased," Sheriff Vern Warnke of Merced County said on Wednesday night Pacific time, adding that investigators were attempting to determine a motive.
The police have a suspect, 48-year-old Jesus Manuel Salgado, in custody. Salgado attempted to kill himself and is in a critical condition receiving medical attention in a hospital. He was picked up after he used an ATM card of one of the victims on October 4. Salgado's family, too, confirmed to the authorities that he had admitted to being involved in the kidnapping.
"There are no words to describe the anger I feel and the senselessness of this incident. I have said this earlier. There is a special place in hell for this guy and I mean it," the sheriff said.
Salgado was convicted of armed robbery in 2005 and spent 11 years in a state prison.
