Are they unidentified, or identities withheld? (I realise that article doesn't say either way. Just pondering)

I think withheld for now, there seems to be difficulty in contacting relatives.

Police are investigating how a man and woman, whose bodies were found washed up on an island beach north of Brisbane, knew each other.
The man is understood to be a local Caloundra resident while the woman is an international tourist, however police have found it difficult to contact their families.
The pair had taken a jetski from the Bells Creek boat ramp, up Pumicestone Passage to the calm side of Bribie Island yesterday.
