On Sunday, the Mexican public prosecutor’s office confirmed the discovery of the bodies of three surfers who had been missing for a week. The surfers, two Australians and one American, were found with gunshot wounds to the head in a 15-meter deep well.
The surfers, brothers Jake (30) and Callum (33) Robinson, and American Jack Carter (30), had last been 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 Carter didn’t report to work, a search was initiated. The families of the three surfers are present to identify the bodies.
One lead being investigated is a failed attempt to steal their pickup truck, as the vehicle was found burned not far from where their bodies were discovered. 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 investigation is ongoing as authorities work to unravel the circumstances surrounding the surfers’ tragic deaths.
