CRESTON, Iowa - An Iowa family of four who were reported missing in Mexico have been found, deceased.

Earlier today an updated Facebook post by a family member confirmed the deaths of the Sharp family, from Creston, Iowa. The post says police do not suspect foul play.

Ashli Peterson made the first Facebook post Thursday night asking for help to locate family members Kevin, Amy, Sterling, and Andrianna Sharp. 

She said the family left the U.S. on March 15, headed for Tulum, Mexico. They were last heard from that night, after reporting they made it safely to their condo.

Peterson says the family was supposed to return on a flight to St. Louis on March 21st and then attend the Southwest Community College basketball game in Danville, Illinois on Thursday – but they hadn’t been heard from in more than a week.

Peterson says the family’s social media accounts have been inactive since they arrived, and there hasn’t been any activity on their cellphones.
