*My heart has been aching ever since hearing this tragic news about the young man who seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve, and his family. By now you have most likely read about the family whose SUV went off of a cliff in northern California while they were on a road trip. Now, recent updates say the plunge may have been “intentional.”
We all came to know of Devonte Hart when that photo of him embracing a police officer went viral. The look on the face of the then 12-year-old (now 15), with tears streaming down his face, is one etched in our minds forever.
That photo is why I said he wears his heart on his sleeve.
Correction: …Wore his heart on his sleeve.
Reportedly there were eight people in the car. The adoptive parents, Jennifer and Sarah Hart, and six siblings. While the bodies of the parents and three children were found, no one knows where Devonte and two other siblings are.
Since the children were reportedly not wearing seat belts (their parents were), they could have been thrown from the van and out into the ocean. Authorities say they are searching “feverishly” for them.
But an Affidavit obtained by NBC News has brought about a question of whether they were in the car at all.
That’s hopeful.
Authorities have searched the Woodland Washington home of the family; especially following reports of abuse, and the numerous neighbors who have come forward saying at one time or another Devonte or his siblings showed up at their door asking for food or protection.
NBC News, the Affidavit is dated Friday, but it is unclear when the search occurred.
