The sheriff of Mercer County, in Central California, called the abduction and murders an act of "pure evil."
The suspect in the kidnapping and killing of an 8-month-old baby, as well as her parents and uncle, had once worked for the family's trucking business and had a longstanding feud with them that culminated in an act of “pure evil,” a sheriff said Thursday.
Surveillance video taken at a vehicle storage business in Merced shows a man in a hoodie and a medical mask walking two brothers out of a portable and then going back inside to get the mother and the baby. The family was found dead two days later.
Relatives of the slain family told investigators that Jesus Salgado, 48, had sent angry text messages, emails about year ago after working with them.
