Is it possible police went with a murder charge, knowing it could get downgraded? I thought it was a common practice, to go for the most severe charge. When does the trial start?

Yes, I think that's the case. I'm currently in the US and I was initially searching for updates about the three missing men, but all I could find was the Australian news sites. About 3 days after the Aussie news reported it, there was a tiny article in the San Diego news.

SBM. That's a very good question! It makes me wonder if they were hiding out there for some reason. I wonder if there were any abandoned buildings out there, or caves? When I was in Sinaloa last year, I received a text message from the police or news station (couldn't figure out which it was -...

Can you believe the Daily Mail published a photo of the brothers' parents who were either on their way to the morgue or leaving? Absolute ghouls! I'm not going to post it here. I felt bad even seeing it.

Maybe he got special treatment because of his football connections. There was an uproar when his name was suppressed re Samantha's disappearance, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I wonder how far away the car was parked from the tents? That's bold to steal a car while the victims are right there in the tents. They would've been able to hear the other car approaching, they would've heard everything. Surely the perps had to expect a confrontation, and I'm surprised they...

A bit more info about what LE believed happened. The family have confirmed the identities too :( “The attackers drove by in their vehicle,” Ms Andrade Ramirez said. “They approached, with the intention of stealing their vehicle and taking the tyres and other parts to put them on the...

I just read they now believe more people were involved (more than just the 2.)

I wish he wouldn't feel bad. It's the fault of the perps, and also the police for not investigating the case of missing rancher properly. Imagine if they had found the rancher and arrested the suspects (assuming it was the same group). More deaths could have been prevented.

I've wondered if she was actually trying to get away from the one she was in a relationship with. I read she had been cooperating with the police, and she was the one who turned on the phone leading to their arrests. One of the perps has domestic violence charges. She may have been trying to...

I'm interested in this too. Why did nobody search the well when the poor guy went missing? Do the authorities only act when it's an international victim? It's just horrendous that a 4th body was found by accident. I mean, WTF?

Unbelievable. All for a car :( I'm wondering if the perps were badly injured. I hope so. The blood and tooth found could have been theirs. And the poor ranch owner. No one thought to search his property?

<modsnip: quoted post was removed> Is this sort of thing usually reported in the media? Terrifying, if not. The American media was silent about the 3 surfers, and only started reporting on it about 3 days after the Australian media caught on. I know because I'm in the US at the moment and was...

I keep wondering if drugs were involved. I can't imagine the brothers getting involved with drugs. One was a doctor and one was an athlete, but maybe they befriended someone shady who was involved with drugs. There is a photo of the 3 of them on the beach and a 4th person has taken the photo.

This article seems to confirm that the bodies have been found :( https://fox5sandiego.com/news/border-report/bodies-of-three-missing-surfers-found-baja-california-authorities-say/

Oh no... if this is the case, my heart is broken. <modsnip: referenced post was removed> I can't bear to think about it. I can't understand why a robbery escalated to murder. It seems a whole lot more complicated for the perps. And the car? Usually cars get stolen and set on fire when they've...

I hate it too. I visited Mexico for the first time last year, and I strangely felt safer than anywhere I have ever been to before. And I was a female travelling solo. I mean, tourists have been murdered in Australia too, but we don't all get tarred with the same brush. Anyways, I'm really...

Just putting this out there, in case it was a deliberate attack with a car, and in case the accused had a dash cam. The footage could have been accidentally saved to the cloud and could give police evidence for a murder charge: https://www.getnexar.com/blog/how-do-dash-cams-work/

It was reported he was on a bender the night before the attack. There was footage of another bender, but it was months prior...
