| Detectives questioned Hoggle for much of Saturday, trying to get her to tell them what happened to the children or where she had taken them. The detectives also allowed Hoggle’s father to speak with her, and allowed her boyfriend — who is the father of the missing children — to speak with her, according to court records. But neither could get her to provide meaningful information, police said in court records. | Detectives questioned Hoggle for much of Saturday, trying to get her to tell them what happened to the children or where she had taken them.

| In support of charges of child neglect, detectives submitted an affidavit stating that there had been “no confirmed contact” with Jacob since 4 p.m., Sept. 7, and “no confirmed contact” with Sarah since 9:30 p.m. that same day. At the time, according to police, family members didn’t know they were missing, because Hoggle had told them that Jacob was at a friend’s house and then said that she’d taken both kids to day care. | |
| In an affidavit to support the charges of child neglect, detectives said that she had “engaged in conduct that created a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to” the children, according to court records. | In an affidavit to support the charges of child neglect, detectives said that she had “engaged in conduct that created a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to” the children, according to court records. |
| Based on a tip to 911 late Friday, a police officer picked up Hoggle along a street in Germantown. She was alone, had a missing persons flier with her — with photographs of her, Jacob and Sarah — and tried to flee, according to police. She was wearing the same clothes that she had been wearing when she was reported missing five days earlier. | |
