Mexican public prosecutor’s office has confirmed that the bodies of three surfers, two Australians and one American, who had been missing for a week, were discovered in Mexico with gunshot wounds to the head. The surfers, Australian brothers Jake (30) and Callum (33) Robinson, and American Jack Carter (30), were last seen at a popular surf spot in the north of Baja California, a Mexican region along the U.S. border.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to unravel the circumstances surrounding the surfers’ tragic deaths. One lead being investigated is a failed attempt to steal the surfers’ pickup truck, as the vehicle was found burned not far from where the bodies were found in a 15-meter deep well. When the Australians failed to show up at their Airbnb and the American didn’t report to work, a search was initiated.
Local authorities arrested three individuals believed to be connected to the case, with one being found in possession of a missing person’s phone. The families of the three surfers are present to identify the bodies.
