But those tests are taking some time and Baja California's state Attorney General Maria Elena Andrade said the parents are currently filling out paperwork to see if the bodies can be "physically identified, that is to say, in plain sight." The three foreigners went missing while on a vacation surfing near the popular tourist town of Ensenada, about 90 minutes south of the US-Mexico border on the Pacific coast.
Andrade said that while the bodies were found in an advanced state of decomposition at the bottom of a well more than 15 metres deep, "some physical descriptions give us that high probability".
