Father confesses to attempting to murder his 2-year-old twins by driving off a cliff.

Robert Duane Brians, a 51-year-old man, has admitted to a shocking and frightening crime. In June 2020, he attempted to kill his own two-year-old twin daughters by driving off a cliff into the sea. Brians deliberately swerved his car off Sunset Cliffs in San Diego, with his children Hailey and Aubrey on his lap behind the wheel. This was after he had abducted them from his parents' house where they were staying for a visit.

Brians had sent a series of messages and made calls to his wife Jenna, expressing his intention to harm their children and himself. He even wrote on Facebook earlier that day that he was sending his babies to heaven. This behavior was alarming and prompted Jenna to contact the police. She feared that Brians might drive off the Coronado Bridge, but he was later spotted by police near Sunset Cliffs.

As officers watched helplessly, Brians suddenly veered off the road and his truck plummeted down the cliff and into the ocean. It was a terrifying sight, but fortunately, all three family members were saved by the heroic actions of K9 officer Jonathan Wiese. He used a 100ft dog lead as a makeshift rope to rappel down the cliff and rescue Brians and the twins from the sinking car.

Wiese described how Aubrey was crying and holding onto her father's neck, but Hailey was limp and unresponsive. Brians was angry and talking about his wife, saying that he was going to die and the girls were coming with him. Wiese managed to pull them to safety and they were taken to an ambulance. Hailey had suffered serious injuries, including a brain bleed and vertebral fractures, while Aubrey had minor scrapes. Thankfully, both girls made a full recovery after being kept in intensive care.

This shocking incident came as a surprise to those who knew the family, as they had appeared to be living a happy life. Brians' wife Jenna had posted a photo on Instagram just three months prior, expressing her love for her "little family". However, Brians had a history of domestic violence and child abuse, which he also pleaded guilty to in addition to attempted murder. As part of a plea bargain, he will be sentenced to 31 years in prison next month.
