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, Kim Cantin, told KYET-TV. A lab analysis confirmed the remains as Jack Cantin’s, she said.
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.
