First, all the dumbasses (not here) who worry about Cancun or Isla when something happens in Baja. Ask them if they're cancelling their trip to Disneyland 'cause you heard about that grisly murder in St. Louis?
Take it all with a grain of salt 'cause reddit but some interesting comments...
From what I’ve read it’s likely it happened at Punta San Jose on Saturday night. NOT K38, where there’s service and tons of people around. Bad info doesn’t help anyone. PSJ is somewhat remote, no service 45mins down a dirt road an hour south of Ensenada/ That spot isn’t safe to camp at and is known for tweakers robbing & carjacking campers. Their last known location was San Miguel Saturday morning. Phone was found in Maneadero, which is south Ensenada and not the nicest area. The Mexican news post I saw said the woman arrested with one of their phones was caught with half a pound of meth.

Have camped at PSJ several times. Pretty remote area at the end of a long dirt road. Live in Mexico part-time and have heard multiple first hand accounts of people getting robbed out there at gun point. Lots of tweaker & sketchy activity, nails in tires, etc. Definitely not a safe place to camp anymore and so tragic that these guys didn’t have that information.

Never ever open camp in Mexico over night, maybe at a designated gated campground like K-58 but generally it is a big no-no. You always want to stay in well travelled areas at night in Baja.
Especially south of Ensenada, it's exrememly rural south of La Bufadora (Coast is 10 miles away from Highway 1 that goes to Cabo), no services only small villages. Especially at night....
I've always wanted to check the area out but it's known to be sketch any you are truly on your own if you get in trouble.
Anyway, more here. Seems like quite a few people knew Calllum.
