On September 8th, 2014, Troy Turner walked into a police station in Maryland to report that his girlfriend, Catherine Hoggle, and their two youngest children were missing. He claimed that he had awoken in their apartment that morning to find them gone - only their eldest son remained at their home. It was alarming, but Troy was relieved when a few hours later Catherine returned to explain that she had dropped three-year-old Sara and two-year-old Jacob off at a new daycare centre. Panic once again set in when it was time to head out in their minivan to pick up the children and Catherine seemed to be giving him the wrong directions. Catherine, who had a history of mental illness, directed Troy to several different locations but the children were not there. Finally, she asked if they could stop at a Chik-fil-A for a drink, which they did - but when Catherine walked inside the restaurant she slipped out the back door and disappeared for four days.

During that time, Troy had no idea where his two smallest children and girlfriend could be - however, Catherine was picked up by the police after those four days and arrested on charges of neglect and hindering an investigation. She was not cooperative in providing any details of Sarah and Jacob’s whereabouts. She would later have her charges upgraded to murder, though those charges would be dropped when she was committed to a state psychiatric hospital.

It has been 10 years since Sarah and Jacob Hoggle went missing and the key to their whereabouts lies with their mother, Catherine, who continues to refuse to provide any information that could lead to finding them.
