In Mexico, the bodies of three surfers who went missing for a week were discovered with gunshot wounds to the head. The Mexican public prosecutor’s office confirmed this on Sunday. 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.
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. When they failed to show up at their Airbnb and didn’t report to work, a search was initiated. The families of the three surfers are present to identify the bodies.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to unravel the circumstances surrounding the surfers’ tragic deaths. After their disappearance, local authorities arrested three individuals believed to be connected to the case, with one being found in possession of a missing person’s phone.
