University of California Santa Barbara graduate Jacob Parker became the 14th person to fall to his death from cliffs along Del Playa Drive in Isla Vista while he was at a party April 20.
"He had so much potential. I was just looking forward to seeing what he would accomplish in life. This was just the beginning," Jake's mother, Deborah Parker, told Fox News Digital. "It's just tragic that it was taken away from him." "I want people in jail." "I don't think parents realize how dangerous these homes are along the cliff, because if they were, they would not let their kids live there." "Life is cheap in Isla Vista."
