Man found dead inside rural cabin in Jawbone Canyon - Kern Golden Empire
BAKERSFIELD, Ca. Sheriff's officials were investigating a man's death inside a rural cabin in Jawbone Canyon Friday and said it may be possibly related to a kidnapping case in Twin Oaks earlier this week. On Tuesday night, deputies were dispatched to the Twin Oaks General Store in Twin Oaks, east of Bakersfield, for a report of a kidnapping which had occurred at a remote rural cabin about fifteen miles southeast of Twin Oaks. There were three victims, two 20 year old males and a 19 year old male from Bakersfield, who deputies say had been kidnapped and held at gunpoint. Deputies say the victims had arrived at a cabin owned by one of the victims at about 7:00 pm. They drove to the cabin in a Polaris Ranger. When they arrived they approached the cabin and were confronted by a male suspect who had been inside the cabin. A pickup stolen Wednesday afternoon may have been taken by the suspect wanted in connection with holding three men captive at gunpoint in a remote cabin southeast of Twin Oaks. Sheriff's deputies, a SWAT team and homicide detectives were called to the scene and found the man shot inside the cabin around 9 a. m. Friday. Source: www.kerngoldenempire.com
