#BREAKING #MERCED #KIDNAPPING

Four bodies have been found in a very remote farmland area and the sheriff's office has confirmed they belong to the family who was kidnapped in Merced.

Deputies received a call from a farm worker around 5:30 p.m. who stumbled across the bodies in an orchard near Indiana and Hutchinson Roads.

When detectives arrived, the bodies were found near each other and confirmed to be Amandeep Dheri, 39, Jasdeep Dheri, 36, Jasleen Kaur, 27, and 8-month-old baby Aroohi Dheri.

Multiple law enforcement agencies are set to arrive and they expect to be out there all night to process the scene.

Sheriff Warnke says all the details will be released soon but does believe the family was killed on the day of the kidnapping which was on Monday. He says the victims were dead even before deputies knew of the crime.

Officials have confirmed the suspect 48-year-old Jesus Salgado is awake and talking but remains at the hospital.

According to Sheriff Warnke, they have a lot of evidence on hand against Salgado but also believe there may be more suspects.

The land owners are fully cooperating with the investigation and the family is on scene with their spiritual leader for guidance.
