Three individuals have been apprehended by Mexican authorities regarding the disappearance of two Australians and an American in Baja California, a region fraught with violence. Brothers Jake and Callum Robinson from Perth, along with American Jack Carter Rhoad, vanished during a surfing expedition, leaving their families distraught. The missing trio was last seen near Punta San Jose, sparking a search effort along Mexico’s north-west coast. Concerns escalate, particularly for Callum, who is diabetic. Debra Robinson, their mother, took to social media to plead for any information.
The chief prosecutor of Baja California, María Elena Andrade Ramírez, confirmed the detainment of two men and a woman for questioning, indicating ongoing investigations. Evidence, including abandoned tents and a phone, has been discovered at the site of their last sighting. However, authorities lament the delay in reporting the disappearance formally, losing crucial time in the probe. Details emerge suggesting the involvement of a woman arrested with possession of a phone belonging to one of the missing brothers, allegedly linked romantically to one of the detained men and found with drugs. Ensenada, known for its surfing allure but plagued by cartel conflicts, remains a focal point, as fears for the safety of tourists persist.
