The remains of a 17-year-old who vanished when a mudslide engulfed Montecito in 2018 have been found, according to the boy’s mother.
The remains were recovered in May within 1,000 feet of where the family’s home once stood, his mother,The boy’s father, Dave Cantin, was killed and their family home destroyed when a debris flow devastated Montecito in 2018. Twenty-three people were killed when heavy rain swept mud, rocks and burned debris from an earlier wildfire downhill into the coastal community east of Santa Barbara.
The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that it had received a one-page report from a UC Santa Barbara anthropologist, Dr. Danielle Kurin, in which Kurin said she was “over 90% certain” that the recovered remains were Jack Cantin’s. The Sheriff’s Office said it is waiting to receive and review Kurin’s full report.
Nine months after the mudslides tore through Montecito, a Times reporter shadowed Kim Cantin as she searched for her son’s body. She had pushed authorities to bring in cadaver dogs, asked homeowners if she could search their properties and volunteered her DNA when a human torso washed ashore on a beach.
