The alleged killers "approached with the intention of stealing their vehicle and taking the tires to put them on the older-model pickup they were driving."
It ain’t no secret that life is cheap as hell in Mexico and for all the dancing chihuahuas, lavish resorts in Tulum, the sexy Don Julio soaked nights in Cabo and the authenticity of the tacos prepared on outdoor hot plates on a warm night where dancing and fireworks suggest you’ve landed in a tropical paradise, you’re never too far from a grisly end.
Eight years ago, two Australian surfers, Dean Lucas and Adam Coleman, were killed in mainland Mex, their burnt-out corpses found in their surf van.
And last week the bodies of Western Australian surfer brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, and their San Diego buddy, Jack Carter Rhoad, were found dumped in a fifty-foot well in Baja, California, four miles from where they were shot dead and their tents burned.
The Baja California Prosecutor’s Office has now revealed the reason why the trio were killed with chief state prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez telling press the thieves and alleged killers “approached with the intention of stealing their vehicle and taking the tires and other parts to put them on the older-model pickup they were driving.
“When they (the foreigners) came up and caught them, surely, they resisted. And these people, the assailants, took out a gun and first they killed the one who was putting up resistance against the vehicle theft, and then others came along and joined the fight to defend their property and their companion who had been attacked, and they killed them too.”
Randy Dible, a photographer from San Diego and friend of Callum Robinson, has told the Australian press he’d directed Callum to a wave in Baja called La Bocana, drawing a map on a napkin, after a last-minute job meant he couldn’t join the trio.
“I told him about this place because I’d been travelling down there all over that country for 30 years so I know it like the back of my hand and I knew just where to go. I wish I’d never met up with him that day, I feel really bad. I feel guilty. It’s just starting to hit home.”
Here is a proper breakdown of the whole situation. https://www.borderlandbeat….
While you are there take a look around the site to see what the reality is for modern day Mexico.
Life is pretty cheap in some places. Even here in USA people think they will live forever or nothing bad can happen. The truth is people don’t understand how fragile life is and how lucky we are to have this opportunity to have a life and be somebody/exist. Even here everyone is just getting desensitized to life lost. Only “this many” people die a year from this or that…. all it takes is one(yours)….then it’s done forever, no second chances. God Bless
Bless. Every Life is Precious
Horrific
If you wanted the parts and the tires, why not just take the whole truck. Why burn it. And why are the rims and tires still on the burned out truck.
bandits were trying to steal the truck. one of the victims caught them trying to steal the truck.
most Mexican’s are not large people. the victims, from what has been reported were all pretty big, strong and fit.
small bandit gets caught stealing truck by a guy that can kick the crap out of him, small cowardly bandit pulls a gun and fires. end of story.
bandits burn the truck and leave it abandoned in the middle of nowhere to try to get rid of evidence.
Gotta have a hobby,
the bandits down there are cunts.
I spent a good amount of time in mex, and a fair bit in Baja, especially in this area. a lot of fun waves south of Ensenada, but you need to have your wits about ya’ and be armed.
when camping or surfing, best to bury your gun close to your vehicle or tent, so you can get to it if you need but not let the feds find it if they raid you….which is very common.
This website might honestly be the worst source of advice on the entire internet.
I think the first paragraph explained that.
Randy Dible is known around here for blowing up spots. This time he may have finally learned his lesson.
Head to la Bocana this coming weekend you have it all to yourself. Hope you score! That’s all those three friends were trying to do after all. The parents of those boys are suffering right now. Most likely great people read one was a Doctor.. Don’t be a shit stain!
“Don’t be a shit stain!”
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
People were murdered and you’re going on about exposing spots. Bit of a fuckwit aren’t you?
Wow, you seem really cool and not the least bit like a total piece of shit!
QRBR is most definitely a piece of shit.
Internet tough guy cheap shot on a SD legend when he was trying to help and stoked out his fellow surf hounds l. I notice none of you losers actually confront the guy in person
You must be talking about that one wave that’s been surfed for over 50 years…i do believe surfline has a wave forecast for that spot too.
I have a feeling “Baja White Surfer Murders” will become the new “white shark attack” theme on BG. Meanwhile there were probably another 10-20 murders of Mexican citizens in northern Baja since this story broke. And there will another 10-20 each week after. Reminds me of when Nancy Grace would spend weeks on the disappearance of an adorable white girl as if no black or brown girls were ever abducted. Of course Nancy Grace is a triflin’ cunt. That’s just science. Tacos de adobada con salsa aguacate, frijoles con mucho manteca y tortillas harina con poquita manteca. Fuck the langosta frito.
Lots of mexicans are getting killed. 3 of top 5 deadliest cities in the world are in Mex, 2 in Baja. Tijuana and Los Cabos. Acapulco the third. In the news, usually cartels CNJG in particular. The shot up a Baja truck race recently. Sketchy as fuck there.
Do you see a sign this sight that says Dead Mexicans Storage?
how many Mexicans went to Australia and got murdered?
wive’s thought they were in Vegas…respect. word. clueless/
goats, etc. https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx….
I’m sure this is relevant to the discussion, right?
Savages. Hoping hell is waiting for the assailants
Assuming this is really what happened and not just some tall tale cobbled together by local law enforcement to get the gringos to fuck back off from whence they came, my first thought is “fuck man, should’ve just gave em what they wanted & not tried to resist”. Of course it’s easy to say that when you’re not the one getting shaken down at gunpoint in Mexico. Who knows how it all went down. Just a tragic end to 3 lives.
I got bashed in broad daylight in Rio de Janeiro. When I went back to the hostel with a black eye, the girl at front desk looked at me and goes “you are so lucky”. Not “you are so unlucky”.
Never thought I could be scared of little shoeless kids. Then I went to Rio.
Debated going down there until a buddy told me about bar hoping to avoid gun fire
