The discovery of the bodies comes the day after California authorities arrested a convicted robber believed to be responsible for the kidnapping and two days after authorities located the stolen truck on fire outside Merced.

At a press conference, Merced County Undersheriff Corey Gibson walked through surveillance footage from a camera on the outside of the office, showing a masked man walking by the property before talking to Jasdeep. Later, it shows him leading Jasdeep and Amandeep, with their hands zip-tied behind their backs, into the back seat of Amandeep’s pickup truck. The suspect drove off and later returned, parking at the office and returning to the back of a trailer that served as the business office and led Jasleen, who was carrying her baby in her arms, out and into the truck before the suspect then drove away.
