PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Mystery surrounds the plunge off a California coast into the Pacific Ocean that killed 5 members of the Hart family from Woodland, Washington. Three other children remain missing, March 31, 2018.
Sarah and Jennifer Hart and 3 of their adopted children — 19-year-old Markis, 14-year-old Jeremiah and 14-year-old Abigail — were confirmed dead on Wednesday by Mendocino County (California) authorities. Three other children — 15-year-old Devonte, 16-year-old Hannah and 12-year-old Sierra — are missing. But Sheriff Tom Allman said there is “every indication” all 6 children were inside the SUV at the time.
Jennifer and Sarah Hart, both 38, recently moved to Woodland, Washington from West Linn, where they had lived since 2014. Jennifer was driving at the time of the crash.
