Three bodies found in Baja California are probably the same ones of the two Australians and one American who were lost during a camping and surfing trip. The state prosecutor’s office announced this on Saturday.
Local TV network Milenio reported that although forensic examination has not yet confirmed it, the physical characteristics such as their hair and clothing strongly suggest that the bodies found are likely those of the three tourists. This information was provided by chief state prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade Ramirez.
An employee from the state prosecutors’ office, who cannot be named, told The Associated Press that it’s believed the bodies are being looked into.
The dead bodies were found in a well. The investigators also found another body in the same well. The authorities said they would investigate the situation.
“A fourth person was found. ” It has nothing to do with the three foreigners. The fourth body had been there for a long time, said the official.
The place where the bodies were found was close to the town of Santo Tomas. It was also near the isolated seaside area where the men’s tents and truck were found on Thursday.
The men, who are brothers from Australia and an American man, went missing on Saturday. They didn’t go to where they were supposed to stay over the weekend.

The US government knows about the reports of bodies and is keeping a close watch on the situation. Right now, we don’t have anything else to say.
The police in Baja California were talking to three people about the case, they said on Thursday. On Friday, the authorities said three people were arrested and charged with a crime similar to kidnapping. It was not clear if they might get more charges.
Andrade Ramirez, the top lawyer for the state, said that the evidence found with the empty tents is related to the three people who are being asked about the foreigners who disappeared.
Milenio stated that she said the people who might do the crime, took the surfers’ truck and some of its parts were found in another truck that belongs to one of the suspects.
On Wednesday, Debra Robinson asked people on Facebook to help find her missing sons. Robinson said no one has heard from Callum and Jake since April 27th. They had arranged a place to stay in the town of Rosarito nearby.
Robinson said her son Callum has diabetes. She said the American with them was named Jack Carter Rhoad, but the US Embassy in Mexico City didn’t confirm it right away. The US government knows that a person from the US is missing in Baja, but they didn’t share any more information.
In 2015, two surfers from Australia, Adam Coleman and Dean Lucas, were killed in western Sinaloa state, which is across from the Baja peninsula. Officials said that they were attacked by robbers on the road. Three people were taken into police custody for that situation.
