Toddler Missing After Parents Die In Murder-Suicide In Montana

Authorities in Oregon, assisted by the FBI, are searching for a toddler whose parents died in a murder-suicide in Montana following a police pursuit.

The two-year-old's parents, Daniel Salcido and Hannah Janiak, were reported missing to police in Medford, Oregon on June 11. The pair, who are not married, were convicted in connection with a burglary in 2018 and Janiak was scheduled to begin her sentence on the same day that the two were reported missing.

Authorities discovered that in early June, all three were shown in surveillance video at a Medford Walmart where they had bought camping gear.

Family members were concerned for their welfare and they described Janiak as a good mother. The family members also told police that the three were homeless and would often camp along the greenway in Medford. Janiak was described as suffering from mental health issues.

Police said that on July 25, authorities in Kalispell, Montana stopped a car with Oregon license plates. Police believed that the man and woman in the car gave false information about their identities and the couple fled during the traffic stop.

Cops spiked the car's tires and found the man and woman dead inside the car. According to police, the woman was shot in the head and the man appeared to have a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The couple were identified to be Daniel Salcido and Hannah Janiak, police said. However, the child, 2-year-old Aiden Salcido was not in the car.

Authorities say they are "greatly concerned" for Aiden and are asking for the public's help in finding him. They believe Aiden could be anywhere between Oregon and Montana.

Anyone with information is being asked to call 541-774-2250. Instead of pressing 1, police say people should stay on the line and a records specialist will record the tip.
