Jennifer Hart Was Drunk When She Drove Family Off Cliff: Police

MENDOCINO COUNTY, CA - Jennifer Hart was drunk when she drove her car off a cliff along the Pacific Coast Highway last month, killing her wife and their six children. Hart's blood alcohol content was 0.102, according published reports. The legal limit in California is 0.08.

Data pulled from Jennifer and Sarah Hart's SUV show the car was stopped before it suddenly accelerated, plunging more than 100 feet down a cliff and into the Pacific Ocean in late March. The family had last lived in Woodland, which is north of Vancouver, Wash.

Jennifer and her wife, Sarah, both 38, and their three adopted children, Markis, 19, and 14-year-olds Jeremiah and Abigail were found dead at the scene. Three other adopted children - Devonte, 15, Hannah, 16, and Sierra, 12 - were still unaccounted for as of Friday.

Since the crash, multiple reports have revealed that the family was not as happy as it seemed. Devonte Hart reportedly went door-to-door in their Woodland neighborhood asking for food. There was an active Child Protective Services investigation into the matter at the time of the crash. In 2011, Sarah Hart was fined $300 for domestic abuse.

Devonte Hart drew national media attention in 2014 after a photograph of him hugging a Portland police officer during a Ferguson-related demonstration in Portland, Ore., was published.
