Ensenada, Mexico – Mexican authorities have made a grim discovery in their search for three missing surfers from the United States and Australia. Three bodies, believed to be those of American Jack Carter Rhoad and Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, were found in the state of Baja California. State Attorney General Maria Elena Andrade confirmed that the bodies had been murdered, suffering gunshot wounds to the head.
The three friends had vanished while on a surfing and camping trip near the town of Ensenada, located approximately 60 miles south of Tijuana on April 29.

Family members of the surfers arrived in Tijuana to identify the bodies, a process expected to be completed shortly.
