Mexican authorities in Mexico said on Thursday that they had searched the area and interrogated three people in relation to the disappearance of two Australian and an American over the weekend in Baja California, a position on the Pacific coast.
The government’s chief prosecutor, Maria Elena Andrade Ramirez, would never specify whether the three people being questioned might be potential witnesses or suspects. She said only that some were tied immediately to the event, and some directly.
But Andrade Ramirez claimed there was some connection between the three, as well as the information discovered in the abandoned houses. The three immigrants did not show up at their prepared lodging over the weekend, despite being reported to have been surfing and camping along the Baja shoreline near Ensenada.
” A working team ( of investigators ) is at the site where they were last seen, where tents and other evidence was found that could be linked to these three people we have under investigation”, Andrade Ramirez said. There are many crucial details that we ca n’t share with the public.
” We do not know what state they are in”, she added. She stated that” all lines of research are available at this time” despite the fact that drug cartel are active in the area. We ca n’t rule out anything until we discover them.
On Wednesday, the missing Australians ‘ family, Debra Robinson, posted on a local area Facebook page an appeal for helping in finding her children, Jake and Callum. Robinson claimed that her son has n’t heard from him since April 27. They had booked apartments in the nearby town of Rosarito, Baja California.
Robinson said one of her children, Callum, is retinopathy. She even mentioned Jack Carter Rhoad, a name that the U.S. ambassador in Mexico City did not immediately recognize. The U. S. State Department said it was aware of reports a U. S. member missing in Baja, but gave no further details.
Andrade Ramirez said her company was in contact with Asian and U. S. leaders. However, she suggested that the passage of time may make it more difficult to locate them.
” Unfortunately, it was n’t until the last few days that they were reported missing. But, that meant that important time or day was lost”, she said.
In 2015, two American surfing, Adam Coleman and Dean Lucas, were killed in northern Sinaloa position, across the Gulf of California- also known as the Sea of Cortez- from the Baja peninsula. Specialists claim that they were victims of bandits on the highway. In that case, three defendants were detained.
