S02E15: THE HART FAMILY MURDERS

In 2014, a touching photo of 12-year-old Devonte Hart went viral- a young black boy hugging a white police officer among protests for racial justice. It was dubbed "the hug felt around the world" and painted a picture of a socially conscious and loving family.  However, what has happening behind closed doors was far from loving and it all begins when Jennifer and Sarah Hart adopt six children and begin displaying snapshots of their so-called "perfect" life on social media. The real story is one of abuse and depravity which eventually leads to a devastating crash off a coastal cliff in sunny California on March 26, 2018- ultimately bringing to light the horror that truly existed behind the cameras.
