Ian Hirschsohn, 78, and Kathy Harvey, 73, both of San Diego, had been staying at his second home near El Socorrito in the western Mexican state of Baja California when they were last heard from Aug. 28.
Harvey’s son, Robert Harvey, said that day, his mom texted him to say the pair was planning to visit a gold mine or the beach.
Their dark blue Toyota Land Cruiser was found abandoned in a remote area of Ensenada, about 3 hours north of El Socorrito, earlier this week. Human remains were soon discovered in a nearby well Thursday.

Suspect pursued in Baja murder of San Diego couple | cbs8.com
Authorities said it appears the retired, San Diego couple – Ian Hirschsohn, 78, and Kathy Harvey, 73 – were stabbed to death as part of a burglary and robbery in the community of Playa Del Socorro, south of San Quintin, about 200 miles south of the border.
Hirschsohn had leased a vacation home in the community since the 1980s.
Baja prosecutors said the suspect in the couple’s murder is a known drug addict, who entered the couple’s home with the intent of robbing them and then used the couple’s Toyota Land Cruiser to transport their bodies to a nearby location where the remains were found.
The location of the remains was described as a shallow well or water hole.
“They were able to find two bodies in the well, and they were covered with bushes from that area. And they only were able to see the hand from one of the bodies,” said Calderon.
Authorities are securing an arrest warrant and would not release the suspect’s name.
The couple’s vehicle was found abandoned in Ensenada.
Baja officials said they have a witness to the crime who has helped them with the investigation.
Ian Hirschsohn lived in Solana Beach. His girlfriend, Kathy Harvey, lived in the Tierrasanta community of San Diego.
