Family Killed In Cliff Plunge: Free Spirits Or Troubled?

WOODLAND, Wash. (AP) – A family that gained attention for an emotional photograph of an African-American boy hugging a white police officer at a 2014 protest died when their SUV plummeted off a scenic California highway. Authorities said Wednesday that they believe six children were in the vehicle with their parents, though three siblings haven’t been found. The Hart Tribe, as they were known, took spontaneous road trips, and friends believe they may have been on one of those adventures when their SUV veered off Pacific Coast Highway onto rocks in the ocean. Friends described the married couple Jennifer and Sarah Hart as loving parents who promoted social justice. But neighbors say they saw signs that caused them to worry about how the homeschooled children were being cared for.
