A jury has decided that Jennifer and Sarah HART, who was in a relationship, drugged themselves and their six foster children and then deliberately killed the entire family when we went off the cliff in California.
According to Sheriff and coroner Tom Allman, a fatal catastrophe — the largest mass murder in Mendocino County history — occurred just a few days after authorities in Washington state have begun an investigation into the family after there were allegations that children were abused.
When police found the SUV, Sara’s body was found between the seat and the roof of the car. Later managed to identify her at the driver’s license found near wreckage.

Dr. Greg Pizarro, a forensic pathologist said that, in his opinion, the family members died almost immediately from injuries of the spine. The bodies of three children — 19-year-old Marquis, as well as 14-year-old Jeremiah and Abigail, was found near the SUV.
The remains of 12-year-old Siera were found several weeks later in the Pacific ocean, but her body was too decomposed to determine cause of death. The part of a foot found on a beach in Northern California, most likely belongs to 16-year-old Hannah. The remains of the sixth child of the family, 15-year-old Devonte, still not found.
According to search history on the mobile phone of Sarah Hatton, she was trying to figure out what dosage will Benadryl kill 54-pound woman, whether painful drowning and what drugs can cause overdose.

The investigator Jake Slats said that the level of this substance found in the blood of Sarah HART, showed that before the accident she had taken 42 doses, while the Marquis was in the blood more than 19 doses.
«Children were most likely unconscious, said Slats. — Sarah was extremely drunk at the time».
According to Slats all familiar with the couple admitted that they could take this step for fear that they will lose their children.
