On Friday, searchers found the body of Soumya Thottapilly, the 38-year-old wife of Sandeep and mother of Saachi, and made a positive identification of the remains on Sunday.

Searchers on Monday found the body of a 12-year-old boy in a Northern California river - the last of four family members who perished when their sport utility vehicle plunged into the rain-swollen torrent. "Visibility was extremely poor and divers noted the vehicle was encased in a large amount of sediment from the river current", the statement said.

Recovery efforts continued for several hours and at approximately 6:30pm the vehicle was partially removed from the Eel River by use of a tow truck. A body was pulled from the surf April 7 but has not been identified. Sandeep Thottapilly (41), Soumya Thottapilly (38), Siddhant Thottapilly (12) and Saachi Thottapilly (9) went missing after the auto in which the family was travelling fell into the river on April 6.

"Searchers subsequently recovered the bodies of Sandeep Thottapilly and Saachi Thottapilly from inside the vehicle", the Sheriff Office said adding that the autopsies are expected to be performed this week as part of the coroner's investigation into the incident. Authorities say they believe the crash was intentional. Mr. Thottapilly and his daughter were found inside a vehicle in about four to six feet of water.

Before the family was known to be missing, authorities in Mendocino County received reports that a vehicle southbound on US 101 went off the highway and tumbled into the Eel River. The search continues this week for the final family member, Siddhant Thottapilly, 12. They, however, failed to show up at the friend's place on April 6 and were officially declared as missing on April 8. Five bodies were found March 26 near Mendocino, a few days after Washington state authorities began investigating the Harts for possible child neglect, but three of their children were not immediately recovered from the scene along the shoreline.
