A jury of eight women and six men all found Thursday that Sarah and Jennifer Hart, both 38, committed suicide. Their children, however, died at “the hands of another, other than the accident” the San Fransisco Chronicle reported.  

The two women drugged themselves along with their six adopted kids before deliberately driving off a 100-foot cliff last year along Highway 1 near Westport. 

The verdict came after eight investigators and a single pathologist testified that both women took steps in advance to kill their family.  

Jake Slates, California Highway Patrol investigator, said that the women “both decided that this was going to be the end. . . That if they can’t have their kids, that nobody was going to have those kids.”  

The crash happened days after authorities in Washington opened an investigation into the family after allegations that the children were being neglected had surfaced.  

The bodies of three of the children, Jerimiah and Abigail, both 14, and Markis, 19, were found outside of the 2003 GMC Yukon. A medical examiner pronounced Wednesday that the three children and the Sarah and Jennifer Hart had all died of broken necks.  

Ciera, 12, was found a couple of weeks later, however, her body was too decomposed to determine the cause of death.  

A foot had also been found on a Northern Carolina beach, belonging to one 16-year-old Hannah. The remains of 15-year-old Devonte still have not been found.  

Jennifer Hart, who rarely drank, was found to have had a blood-alcohol level of 0.104 at the time of the crash.  

A search of Sarah Hart’s cellphone revealed Google searches for the amount of dosage needed to kill a 120-pound woman, if drowning would be painful, and what medications could be taken to cause an overdose, the Chronicle reported.  

Toxicology reports also found that large doses of diphenhydramine had been found in all of the victims. Slates said the level found in Markis’ blood indicated he had more than 19 doses in his blood while Sarah Hart’s blood indicated 42 doses.  

“The children were more than likely unconscious,” Slates said. “Sarah would have been extremely intoxicated at that point.”
