Whereas they weren’t capable of save the household, legislation enforcement have nonetheless been fast to behave within the case — they got here up with a suspect on Tuesday shortly after the household vanished. The 48-year-old man, Jesus Manuel Salgado (above, proper), was taken into custody after cops approached him. He had used an ATM card of one of many victims at a financial institution machine within the close by metropolis of Atwater, which is how police had been capable of monitor him down and identify him as an individual of curiosity.
