Investigators had pulled five bodies from the wreckage, but could not locate three of the adopted siblings. None of the searchers was sure they would ever find them. For 12 agonizing days, search crews have combed the murky waters off Northern California in search of three missing children who were believed to be in an SUV that was driven off a cliff by one of their mothers.
