A truck drives by the pullout where the SUV of Jennifer and Sarah Hart was recovered off the Pacific Coast Highway near Westport Calif. Wednesday
While investigators still have not officially announced whether the crash was a bad accident or a deliberate act, neighbors had recently developed concerns about the health and well-being of the Hart kids and reported them to authorities.
Accident-reconstruction experts said investigators would look at road conditions along with such possibilities as brake failure or a blown tire.
But as the investigation continues, it seems there may have been abuse within the household.
Jennifer and Sarah Hart were found dead Monday (Mar. 26) in Northern California when their vehicle veered off a cliff and onto the Pacific Ocean shoreline.
An ocean search effort is underway for the couple's other three children, 12-year-old Sierra Hart, 16-year-old Hannah Hart and 15-year-old Devonte Hart. And the coroner is investigating the cause of death of the five recovered family members. The Clark County Sheriff's Office confirmed the visit happened because of reports that the children weren't being fed.
Max Ribner, who has known the family since 2012, said allegations from neighbors don't square with what he knows about the Harts.
Then, last week, Bruce and Dana DeKalb, next-door neighbours of the Harts in Woodland, Washington, called state child protective services saying Devonte had been coming over to their house nearly every day for a week, asking for food.
"Very private - they kept to themselves", Groner said.
The six adopted kids were all homeschooled. Kirsty added: "Amy and Connor did not just get on with their life, they went out of their way to thank the Neonatal Units and to show their support by setting up a non-profit organisation to raise money for Neonatal Units and to support families and friends, called Campbellinas".

Tesla recalls 123000 Model S sedans
Tesla will need to raise more money in the near future to meet its cash needs, the credit rating agency claimed . Tesla says no accidents have been caused by the fault, but says the issue makes the vehicle harder to drive.
"All of us were like, 'Of course, it's Devonte, '" said Lomax, who hadn't seen the family since a 2016 rally in Portland for Bernie Sanders.
"Because they never go anywhere".
"We know that an entire family vanished and perished during this tragedy", said Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman on Wednesday as he appealed for help retracing where the family had been before the vehicle was found Monday.
Prosecutors say Goodman wrote a detailed confession letter that said the best way to gain access to kids was by befriending single mothers, whom he described as "easy targets". The agency had no prior history with the family, said Norah West, a spokesperson with the Department of Social and Health Services.
In regards to the Velasquez investigation, DCS says it could only make decisions based on the available evidence, and it acted on good faith. In West Lynn, neighbor Bill Groner said he often felt bad for the children because they were nearly always kept indoors. The deputy who attempted to do the welfare check reported that nobody was home.
"Jen and Sarah really were the kind of parents that I think the world desperately needs", friend Zippy Lomax told KOIN. They told California authorities it appeared the family left on a temporary trip. His life and funeral will be celebrated on Tuesday April 3 at 9:00 AM from Duksa Family Funeral Homes at Newington Memorial with a 10:00 AM Liturgy of Christian Burial at Church of the Holy Spirit.
Brittany Velasquez, 20, called the police and removed her 2-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter from their vehicle seats and attempted to perform CPR before officers arrived.
The 31-metre drop killed the women, both 39, and their children Markis Hart, 19; Jeremiah Hart, 14; and Abigail Hart, 14. Sarah reportedly admitted that she had lost control of her anger and spanked the girl while bending her over a bathtub. Her plea led to the dismissal of a charge of malicious punishment of a child, online court records show.
In a photo shared over 150,000 times on Facebook, 12-year-old Devonte Hart, who was previously holding a sign stating "Free Hugs", is seen embracing Portland, Oregon, police Sgt. Bret Barnum on November 25, 2014.
