How The New Documentary About “The Hart Family” Dishonors The Murdered Children

There are no words to fully describe the utter disgust stemming from the revolting experience of sitting through nearly an hour of the new documentary, A Thread of Deceit: The Hart Family Tragedy, that was produced by Rachel Morgan and Chris Kobin of 1091 Media, and helmed by director Jan Sonnenmair.

The finished product is currently available for renting on Amazon Prime, and Lord knows that I wish I could get that $3.99 back!

But there was no way to resist the temptation of guaranteed wasted time with added headache of all-consuming rage.

It’s been two years since that fateful day back in March 2018, when the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office was called to the devastating crime scene that was initially classified as a horrific accident. It was quickly revealed that the two dead white women had made a secret pact to drive their jeep off a scenic cliff on the Pacific Coast Highway with six Black and Brown kids in the back seat.

The two adoptive parents had taken extra steps to cruelly drug the ill-fated passengers aged 12 to 16, prior to the plotted trip, in order to be sure that they would be unconscious during the terrifying plunge to the bottom.
