The Mysterious and Tragic Case of the #HartTribe Family

What was originally reported as a fatal accident involving an SUV that plummeted into the ocean from a narrow and winding California cliff-side highway, has developed into a tragic and heartbreaking murder-suicide. The bodies of Jennifer and Sarah Hart were found in the SUV, while the bodies of three of their six adopted children were found near the wreckage. The toxicology report has indicated that Jennifer Hart, who was found in the driver’s seat, was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash. Sarah and two of the three children were reportedly intoxicated with an ingredient often found in Benadryl and OTC sleep medication. This mysterious murder-suicide is preceded in death by 10 years of child abuse claims that span across three states.

On March 26, the two women were found dead in their SUV at the base of the cliff-side with three of their adopted children, Markis, age 19, Abigail, age 14, and Jeremiah, age 14. Originally, California Highway patrol believed all the children were in the vehicle at the time of the wreck. A fourth body was recovered weeks after the crash and the DNA report has confirmed the body to be of Sierra Hart.The other two children who are missing are Devonte, age 15, and Hannah, age 16. After several weeks, the FBI has officially released missing person alerts for Devonte and Hannah.
