More decomposed body parts found on Isla Vista beach


The coroner has ruled out missing 17 year old Montecito resident Jack Cantin, but says it will take time to identify the body due to decomposition.

if there is no other missing, maybe it was someone unreported from the mudslide in January?

Is there any way this could be one of the missing Hart children? I don't know if 500 miles from the crash site is out of the realm of possiblity or not...

Not much info here but I think it goes with this thread.

Decomposed human remains discovered along the shore off Isla Vista late last month have yet to be identified, according to the Sheriff’s Office. DNAsamples have been sent to the California Department of Justice, said Lt. Kevin Huddle. “If the DNA exists in the database, we may get a hit.”

Human Remains Remain Unidentified

Thanks for the link. I was just thinking about this yesterday and wondering if there'd been any updates.

So sad. While the family may not have been ready to accept the reality of having John’s DNA, dental records, or any other possible means of identifying him listed on Namus at the time he disappeared, hopefully they are ready to now.

They had so many catastrophes going on in their life at the time of his disappearance. Could it be they were left so angry and disillusioned they just didn’t care?

Many of us know what a family goes through when a husband walks out leaving a wife with children. However, this was a much more serious case as John was up to loose almost everything to the government while his wife had nothing left from their years together.

Does anyone know how this case was closed?

Have these unidentified remains been identified? Who are you referring to?

I believe this could be Brian Fernandez, he was my sisters boyfriend. They both flew off a cliff (Ragged Point on December 23,2016) off of PCH and my sisters body was located January 3rd, 2017. Brian was never found and Isla Vista is not that far from where these remains were found. Due to the state of decomposition I believe this could be him. I’ve contacted DOJ coroners office and they are backlogged and no identification has been made as of yet.

Just wanted to say I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. You did the right thing to reach out the DOJ and coroner with your information. If you don't get a reply, it is ok to be persistent and a little pushy to make sure that your information gets to the right person to make the connections.

Do you have a link to a profile for John or his last name at least?
