‘Special Place in Hell for This Guy ’
Authorities said the abductor was a condemned purloiner who tried to kill himself a day after the hijackings .

The four family members were taken from their business in Merced, a megacity of,000 people about 125 long hauls( 200 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco in the San Joaquin Valley, California’s agrarian heartland.
The released surveillance videotape showed the suspect first walking by the property before talking to one of the men. latterly, it shows him leading the men, who had their hands zip- tied behind their tails, into the aft seat of Amandeep Singh’s volley truck. The suspect also went back to the caravan that served as the business office and led Jasleen Kaur, who was carrying her baby in her arms, out and into the truck before the suspect drove them down.
Family members said nothing was stolen from the trucking company but that their cousins were all wearing jewelry. Warnke had said that after the hijackings , an ATM card belonging to one of the victims was used in Atwater, about 9 long hauls( 14 kilometers) north of Merced.Public records show the family owns Unison TruckingInc. and family members said they had opened an office in the last many weeks in a parking lot the Singh sisters also operated. Authorities said they were taken from their office.
The victims were Punjabi Sikhs, a community in central California that has a significant presence in the trucking business with numerous of them driving exchanges, retaining trucking companies or other businesses associated with trucking.Family members on Wednesday asked possessors of stores or gas station in the area to check their surveillance cameras for images of the suspect or those missing.
Please help us out, come forward, so my family comes home safe, ” Sukhdeep Singh, a family of the victims, said, his voice breaking.Cousins of Salgado communicated authorities and told them he’d admitted to them his involvement in the hijacking , Warnke told KFSN- TV on Tuesday. Salgado tried to take his own life before police arrived at a home in near Atwater. He has ago been rehabilitated.
