BIZOGRAPH CRIME

True crime. Real cases

@jeanxbtt Half the room wanting to do it says more about the sentence than it does about him.

She said her children were alive and that she would take police to them. A judge said no. That was 12 years ago, and nobody has seen Sarah and Jacob since.

On September 7, 2014, Catherine Hoggle was the last person seen with her two kids in Montgomery County, Maryland. Sarah was 3 and Jacob was 2. Their father, Troy Turner, reported all three missing. Days later, police found Hoggle wandering alone in Germantown. The children weren’t with her, and she wouldn’t say where they were.

Two months later, prosecutors told a judge she had told her mother and Turner that the kids were alive, and that she was willing to lead police to them. They asked for an order letting police take her to search. The judge refused. Hoggle had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and he didn’t believe she was competent to go. The search never happened.

What followed was a decade of hospitals and court dates. She was ruled incompetent to stand trial and committed to a state psychiatric hospital, and she stayed there for years. In July 2025 she was released. Weeks later, prosecutors said they had new evidence and arrested her on two counts of first-degree murder. In October 2025, a judge ruled her competent to stand trial.

Her lawyers now say she isn’t criminally responsible, which is Maryland’s version of an insanity defense. They argue she was severely mentally ill when the children vanished. The trial was supposed to start last month. In September it was pushed back to October 2027.

The children’s bodies have never been found. She is charged with their murders, but she hasn’t been convicted.

She offered to take police to her kids, and a judge stopped it. Was that the one chance to find Sarah and Jacob, or was she never going to lead them anywhere?

@Tomdotdev Planning it from behind the scenes doesn't get you out of it. Good to see the verdict reflect that.

@Tomdotdev Shanann and the girls deserved better than his TV act.

@creepydotorg The scariest part isn't the bullet. It's that nobody in the next room thought to check on the noise they'd just made.

@omoyebraids Same tired house, very different reviews.

[BIZOGRAPH CRIME @Bizograph]

@Tomdotdev Eleven to one. Whatever the next jury decides, nobody comes out of this unhurt.

[BIZOGRAPH CRIME @Bizograph]

@Tomdotdev Yes, they should have been charged. Rage is understandable, but courtrooms can't run any other way.

@oneclickmind Air in his lungs and a 2 a.m. bathroom trip. The facts are heavy enough without adding a guess

@trailorxbt The 11 months say more to me than the two days. The violence was the end of a plan that had been running the whole time.

@creepydotorg Six months for three felonies says a lot about whose future the system was willing to protect.

@Tomdotdev A kid with a threat on record and a rifle at home isn't a 'wait and see' case. Departments need a rule that says so, not a deputy's gut feeling

@MorningBrew Nvidia, Microsoft and Google already have their seats. The rest of us get the ticker and the vibes.

@TheStreet @HVP_Research If you can't say why it's cheap, it's a trap. Most people buy the headline, not the thesis.
