The State - News from Sept. 13, 1989

Accused mass murderer Ramon Salcido was linked to the deaths of his wife and a co-worker by bullets identified by a state ballistics expert. Richard Arlo Waller said at a preliminary hearing in Santa Rosa that bullets taken from the victims matched a .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol owned by Salcido. The 28-year-old winery worker is accused of killing his wife, two of his daughters, a fellow winery employee, his mother-in-law and two of her daughters in a bloody rampage on April 14. He was arrested in Mexico five days later. Three of Salcido’s daughters were found in a remote garbage dump, with their throats slashed. One of the girls survived and lives with her maternal grandmother.
