Mexican authorities have disclosed that they discovered tents and have questioned three individuals in the case of two missing Australians and an American who disappeared over the weekend in Baja California. María Elena Andrade Ramírez, the state's chief prosecutor, refrained from labeling the three individuals as suspects or witnesses, stating that some were directly connected to the case while others were indirectly linked.

The abandoned tents, along with additional evidence found, were somehow connected to the three individuals, according to Andrade Ramírez. It is believed that the foreigners were surfing and camping along the Baja coast near the city of Ensenada, but failed to arrive at their planned accommodations. An investigative team has been deployed to the last known sighting of the group to examine the evidence and gather critical information, which cannot be disclosed to the public at this time.

Andrade Ramírez emphasized that the condition of the missing individuals remains unknown and all investigative leads are being explored. Although drug cartels operate in the area, she affirmed that no possibilities can be ruled out until the individuals are located. The missing Australians' mother, Debra Robinson, made an appeal on a local community Facebook page seeking assistance in finding her sons, Jake and Callum. She mentioned that one of her sons, Callum, has diabetes. The identity of the American, Jack Carter Rhoad, has not been officially confirmed by the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.

The chief prosecutor assured that her office is in communication with Australian and U.S. officials, but acknowledged that the passage of time may complicate the search efforts. She expressed regret that the individuals were not reported missing until recently, resulting in crucial hours or time being lost in the investigation.

In 2015, two Australian surfers were killed in Sinaloa state, across the Gulf of California from the Baja peninsula. Authorities attributed their deaths to highway bandits and arrested three suspects in connection with the case.

The search and rescue operation for the missing Australians and American continues as authorities remain committed to finding them and ensuring their safety.
