MATAMOROS, Mexico (AP) — The Tamaulipas state governor and prosecutor have confirmed that three Americans missing in northern Mexico for more than two weeks have been found dead near Matamoros.

State Attorney General Ismael Quintanilla Acosta says the father of the three identified them from photographs of the bodies showing tattoos. Clothing found with the bodies near the border city also match that of the three siblings from Progreso, Texas, who disappeared with a fourth person.

He spoke Thursday with Radio Formula.

Parents of the missing youths say witnesses reported they were seized on Oct. 13 by men dressed in police gear.
