SAN DIEGO — The remains of three people found near the Mexican fishing port of Ensenada are those of missing surfers from Australia and the U.S. who were killed in an apparent carjacking, authorities said Sunday. Family members made the identification in-person at the behest of Baja California state prosecutors, the state attorney general's office said in a statement Sunday obtained by NBC San Diego. The bodies had been recovered from a remote well about 50 feet deep, authorities said.
Prosecutors said they found the trio’s encampment, including tents, spent gun shells, blood stains, and marks indicating bodies were dragged. Three people were being questioned in connection with the case, authorities said. Two of the three, a man and woman, were held on suspicion of methamphetamine-related allegations, they said, and the fourth was the subject of a kidnapping warrant.
