Two Australian surfers, Adam Coleman and Dean Lucas, have been missing for a week after looking for adventure in Mexico. Unfortunately, many feared that they were already dead, as a van similar to that of their own was found, heavily burned and carrying two charred bodies.

According to SMH, a pair of men, who looked like the missing tourists, were seen buying a map at Los Mochis on Nov. 20. On the next day, Nov. 21, a Chevrolet, like the two were driving, was found burnt at Navolato, a place known to belong to drug cartel.

Additional proof that the automobile belonged to the men occurred when authorities noticed a bicycle at the back of the van, which the two usually brought along on their road trips. Daily Mail reported that the Sinaloa Attorney General, Marco Antonio Higuera, confirmed that the serial number of the van was registered in Alberta, Canada under the name of one of the travelers, Adam Coleman.

The two men, who were traveling from Edmonton, didn't arrive at their destination in Guadalajara after their barge landed at the Baja California peninsula in Topolobampo, Sinaloa. Along with the burnt vehicle were two charred bodies, suspected to be Coleman and Lucas.

The spokesman for Higuera's office, Guadalupe Martinez, said that the found carcasses were so badly burnt that only possible way to recognize the victims were DNA or dental records. Inquisitr added that the families of Coleman and Lucas were now on their way to Mexico to help the investigation.

The girlfriends of the two males, Andrea Gomez, and Josie Cox, will bring everything that will be needed to distinguish if the dead bodies belong to their boyfriends. Additionally, Sinaloa has said to be a dangerous place, dominated Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, a powerful drug dealer who also has been hiding for months.

SMH noted that the State has the second highest criminal rate compared to the entire city of Mexico. In fact, the United States warns everyone, especially the tourists, to avoid this place.

Meanwhile, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, told CNN that they were afraid for the safety of their own citizens, too. They are now working with the commanders of Mexico to help the lost tourists' families who will fly to the country.

"The families and partners are aware the van in which they were traveling has been located by Mexican authorities and that a tragic event has occurred," a statement from the division said. "The families hold deep fears for the safety of their sons but stress that they are still waiting for details to be confirmed."
