Four bodies of a missing California family were found dead late Wednesday after a masked suspect kidnapped them at gunpoint earlier this week, authorities said. Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke confirmed the discovery during a news conference Wednesday night, adding: “Our worst fears have been confirmed.” The family had been missing since Monday and authorities said they were "taken against their will" from a business in California's Central Valley. A person of interest was in custody Tuesday afternoon, the Merced County Sheriff's Office announced. The incident launched a massive search and pleas to the public for help. "There is no words to describe the anger I feel, the senseless of this incident," Warnke told reporters. "I said it earlier, there’s a special place in hell for this guy, and I mean it.” Visit the link in our bio to learn more.
