On Sunday, the bodies of three surfers, two Australians and one American, were discovered in Mexico with gunshot wounds to the head. The Mexican public prosecutor’s office confirmed this news. 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), had gone missing a week ago at a popular surf spot in the north of Baja California, a Mexican region along the U.S. border. When the Australians failed to show up at their Airbnb and the American didn’t report to work, a search was initiated. The families of the three surfers are present to identify the bodies.
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. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to unravel the circumstances surrounding the surfers’ tragic deaths.
