An Ohio architect, his fiancé, and her two cousins have been confirmed dead in Mexico after going missing on Christmas Day.

Mexican authorities found four 'charred' bodies on Thursday last week in an SUV covered with bullet holes near El Cuidado, Zacatecas, local reports said.

Officials identified three of the bodies as Daniela Márquez, 31, her sister, Viviana Márquez, 26, and the women's cousin, Irma Vargas, 27.

The fourth body was later confirmed as belonging to José Gutiérrez, 36, the fiancé of Daniela Márquez. Investigators waited for DNA confirmation before confirming the identity of the remains after the body was found in a state of 'skeletal reduction'.
