A family that gained attention for an emotional photograph of an African-American boy hugging a white police officer at a 2014 protest was killed when their SUV plunged off a scenic California highway, authorities said Wednesday as they asked for help figuring out what happened.
"We have every indication to believe that all six children were in there," Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman said, appealing for tips to retrace where the siblings and two parents had been before the vehicle was found Monday in rocky ocean. "We know that an entire family vanished and perished during this tragedy."
Some friends described married couple Jennifer and Sarah Hart as loving parents who took their adopted kids to Bernie Sanders rallies, while some neighbors said they called child welfare officials in their rural Washington state community over concerns about possible abuse or had noticed red flags.
The California Highway Patrol has not determined why the vehicle went off an ocean overlook on a rugged part of coastline. A specialized team of accident investigators was trying to figure that out, Allman said.
"There were no skid marks, there were no brake marks" at the turnout on the Pacific Coast Highway where the vehicle went over, the sheriff said. Investigators have no reason to believe the crash was intentional, he said.
The 100-foot (31-meter) drop killed the women, both 39, and their children Markis Hart, 19; Jeremiah Hart, 14; and Abigail Hart, 14. Hannah Hart, 16; Devonte Hart, 15; and Sierra Hart, 12, have not been found.
The Harts lived in Woodland, Washington, a small city outside Portland, Oregon, and had a recent visit from Child Protective Services, Clark County sheriff's Sgt. Brent Waddell told The Associated Press.

Looks like two lesbians committed a horrid murder-suicide.
And six children were sacrificed to Moloch in the name of ‘diversity’ and ‘tolerance’.
Sounds ‘suspicious’ to me....................
Hitlary strikes again.
Bernie Supporters, should have been considered child abuse
You folks misunderstand.
Its the SUV that committed suicide!
No skid marks.
No brake marks.
Yet no indication it was intentional.
Yeah... sure. People often unintentionally drive off of cliffs.
SUV Goes Over Cliff.
There is never a human driver in SUV accident stories. The SUV always has a mind of its own.
Like Christine. SUVs run berserk.
It should have called AAA for help.
Poor kids.
Typical Lesbian Leftist driver. Holy cow they are the absolute worst!
Probably messing with the on-board nav system or phone.
NO reason except for the fact there were no skid or brake marks. It's hard to believe you could fall asleep in a car full of kids.
Rush!
Is that you?
“...took their adopted kids to Bernie Sanders rallies.”
There’s your evidence of child abuse, right there.
You mean the SUV decided to plunge over the cliff?
Funny how that happens with all those eevil SUVs running around.
Hmmm...
Rush used to make fun of stories that said SUVs were at fault for accidents like no one was behind the wheel. Go figure.
“family” - Whatever; more like two deviants who bought some kids and “played family” - then played “Manson family”...
