The trio were believed to have been surfing and camping along the Baja coast but did not show up at their planned accommodations over the weekendMexican authorities said Friday that four bodies were recovered in an area of Baja California near where two Australians and a San Diego man went missing last weekend during an apparent camping and surfing trip.
“This was done as part of the search for two Australians and one American reported missing,” the office said.The bodies were discovered in Santo Tomas, Baja California, FBI San Diego confirmed on Friday. The site was near the remote seaside area where the missing men’s tents and white pick-up truck were found Thursday on a remote stretch of coast.
The men — identified by family members as brothers Jake and Callum Robinson from Australia and American Jack Carter Rhoad, who multiple people have reported lives in San Diego — went missing Saturday. They did not show up at their planned accommodations over the weekend. Baja California prosecutors had said Thursday that they were questioning three people in the case. On Friday, the office said the three had been arrested and charged with a crime equivalent to kidnapping. It was unclear if they might face more charges.
While drug cartels are active in the area, she said, “all lines of investigation are open at this time. We cannot rule anything out until we find them.” "I'm concerned about their safety now that we haven't heard from them in this many days," Annie Wang, Jake Robinson's friend, said."Callum is type 1 diabetic, so their families are really worried right now."
