Published in News & Features
A trio of tourists on a surfing trip in Mexico were living an idyllic life. They were posting photos of themselves on the beach, on rooftops, drinking beer, listening to music as they explored the country’s scenic coastline.
Then, they disappeared.
Here’s what we know about what happened:
Who were they?
The men who were killed were Australian brothers Callum Robinson, 33, his brother Jake, 30, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, 30.
Callum was a high-level lacrosse player. He played Division III college lacrosse at Stevenson University in Maryland.
“He lived an extraordinary life, but what is most impressive about Callum is what a loyal friend he was. Once you were his friend, you were friends for life,” said Stevenson University lacrosse team coach Paul Cantabene.
“My heart is shattered into a million pieces,” wrote Caallum Robinson’s girlfriend, Emily Horwath, in an Instagram post.
His brother Jake was a doctor, and Jack Carter Rhoad founded an online apparel company in San Diego called Loma Apparel. He also worked for a consulting company called ITCO Solutions.
Rhoad had recently proposed to his girlfriend, and his final Facebook post, from July 2023, showed pictures of the proposal.
