The bodies of three missing surfers, including a man reportedly from San Diego, have been found, according to Mexican authorities.

The Baja California Attorney General’s Office confirmed Friday morning that the bodies were located in La Bocana, about 130 miles south of San Diego.

The three surfers were reported missing through social media posts earlier this week, with Baja California authorities officially announcing their disappearance in a press release Thursday.

The surfers were a San Diego man, Jack Carter Rhoad, and Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, according to a report in The San Diego Union-Tribune. The newspaper reported the three men didn’t check into their Airbnb in Rosarito following a surfing trip south of Ensenada.

The attorney general’s office has not confirmed the men’s identities to KSWB.

Mexican officials said Thursday they had found evidence related to the case, including a white pickup truck, and that three Mexican nationals were under investigation.

No further details about the circumstances leading up to the men’s disappearance have been released.

The attorney general’s office, the FBI and U.S. and Australian consulate officials were all working in coordination with the case, according to Mexican officials.
