Three missing surfers were found deceased in Baja California, Mexico, with investigations ongoing into their deaths linked to a suspected robbery. Authorities have made arrests and vows for justice as the international community grieves.
The bodies of three missing surfers, American Carter Rhoad and Australians Callum and Jake Robinson, were found at the bottom of a well in Baja California, Mexico, displaying signs of gunshot wounds. The trio, who went missing while vacationing near Ensenada, were last seen on April 27. Following extensive investigations involving the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, Mexican authorities arrested three individuals and found a burnt-out vehicle linked to the surfers. The State Attorney General of Mexico, Elena Andrade, has vowed to pursue justice for the deaths, which are currently under investigation for connections to a suspected robbery incident.
Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers has extended condolences, addressing the families of the victims amid this tragic event. The US State Department maintains a travel advisory for Baja California, citing high crime rates, though Ensenada is typically considered safer. A memorial was held by surfers in San Miguel, reflecting on the loss and risks associated with international travel for surfers. Further details remain under investigation as authorities piece together the events leading to the surfers’ demise.
