Insep arable Friends Die By Own Action At Sunset Cliff
Amber Hernandez 14 and Alicia Hayes 15 were found dead at a 150 foot San Pedro cliff on May 23, each with a wrist bound by twine. Friends and families say they faced problems with drugs but seemed to be making progress while a prior teen suicide and rumor of a local cult circulated. Police found no evidence the deaths were linked to the earlier personal crisis reports, and school officials noted San Pedro High’s rate is similar to other schools. A memorial at Sunken City featured roses, candles, and a handwritten note musing on peace and memory.
