Authorities used a pulley system to hoist what appeared to be lifeless bodies covered in mud from a shaft on a cliff high above the Pacific, AFP journalists observed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe confirm there were three individuals found deceased in Santo Tomas, Baja California,\u201d a statement from the FBI\u2019s office in San Diego, California said without providing identities of the victims.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter have not been seen since April 27.<\/p>\n
They were on vacation near the coastal city of Ensenada in the northwestern state of Baja California.<\/p>\n
But the brothers\u2019 mother, Debra Robinson, said in a Facebook post that they never arrived at their planned accommodation.<\/p>\n
Santo Tomas, where the FBI reported the discovery of the three bodies, is about 30 miles (45 kilometers) southeast of Ensenada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
More than a dozen responders, including federal agents, state police, forensic experts and military personnel were at work Friday on the difficult-to-access cliff area.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Spiral of violence \u2013<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, navy personnel and officials from the state prosecutor\u2019s office searched a cliff area in Ensenada, according to city hall.<\/p>\n
Baja California state authorities said Thursday that three Mexican nationals were being questioned in connection with the disappearances.<\/p>\n
\u201cA white pickup vehicle was located, as well as other evidence,\u201d the state prosecutor\u2019s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The investigation was being coordinated with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Australian and US consulates, it added.<\/p>\n
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has described the disappearances as \u201creally concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe certainly hope that these brothers are found safely, but there is real concern about the fact that they\u2019ve gone missing,\u201d he told Australian television.<\/p>\n
Baja California, known for its inviting beaches, is also one of Mexico\u2019s most violent states thanks to organized crime groups.<\/p>\n
Two other Australian surfers, Dean Lucas and Adam Coleman, were murdered and their bodies burned while traveling in the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa in November 2015.<\/p>\n
In March 2023, alleged members of the Gulf Cartel kidnapped four Americans in the northeastern city of Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas. Two of them were killed.<\/p>\n
The spiral of criminal violence engulfing Mexico has left more than 450,000 dead and more than 100,000 missing since the federal government launched a controversial anti-drug operation in 2006.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
