SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Baja California Attorney General Maria Elena Andrade Ramírez has confirmed the bodies recovered in a 50-foot-deep well Friday are that of brothers Jake and Callum Robinson of Australia and Jack Carter Rhoad of San Diego
Andrade Ramírez’s office issued a news release Sunday evening stating “families of the victims had positively identified” their loved ones.
On Sunday morning she had said the bodies recovered from the well were in an “advanced state of decomposition” and DNA testing would be required, something that is now moot according to Baja’s attorney general.
It appears the three men were victims of a robbery, and when they resisted giving up their truck, they were shot and killed, and then dumped into the well.
Andrade Ramírez says investigators believe the suspects came across the surfers who were camping near La Bocana, a well-known surfing spot south of Ensenada near the community of Santo Tomas, and saw an opportunity to rob them.
She says the assailants likely felt it was an isolated area with no cell service and “no witnesses.”
Two men and a woman are in custody and two others are “under investigation,” according to Baja’s attorney general.
