Suspect charged in gruesome NoDa murder released on bond: Tuesday, June 6
A man who was charged in connection with the brutal murder of a Charlotte woman who was stabbed over 130 times and found stuffed in a mattress was released from jail over the weekend on bond, jail records show. James Robert Salerno was given a $250,000 bond in January in connection with the 2020 killing of Mary Collins. Mecklenburg County jail records show that Salerno was released on June 3 on bond. His charges include murder, kidnapping and DWI. According to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office inmate docket, Salerno does not have electronic monitoring. The victim's mother, Kasei Canfora, spoke to WCNC Charlotte about the gut-wrenching news she learned after attending a community violence rally with other inflected mothers who have suffered from gun violence. "It's creating a lot of conflicting feelings within me," Canfora said. "It's very painful and I have no control over the entire process which is the hardest part. All of it feels like what they've done to my daughter, it just doesn't matter to them."
