| Police building homicide case against mother of missing kids; police continue searching | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Police are building a homicide case against Catherine Hoggle, the 27-year-old Montgomery County woman who went missing for five days and hasn’t told police what happened to her two young children. | |
| “We keep a ray hope, but from what she said and what we know about what information that should be provided about them, and that she hasn’t contacted them, this is the natural progression for us,” said Capt. Darren Francke, head of Montgomery County police’s major crimes division. | |
| Francke, who said Hoggle was found Friday holding two fliers of her missing children, told authorities that the disappearance of her toddlers had been planned. Her children — 2-year-old Jacob and 3-year-old Sarah — were last seen with her late Sunday. | |
| Police also ask Clarksburg and Darnestown homeowners to search properties for anything suspicious in the case. | |
| Hoggle is due in court at 1 p.m Monday for a bond review hearing. | |
| She has been held at the Montgomery County jail since Saturday, when police booked her on two counts of child neglect and one count of obstructing and hindering, according to court records. Hoggle, who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, was being held on an initial, total bond of $1,020,000, according to online court records. | She has been held at the Montgomery County jail since Saturday, when police booked her on two counts of child neglect and one count of obstructing and hindering, according to court records.

| The search for her two children was scheduled to continue on Monday. | |
| Hoggle is being represented by two Rockville attorneys, David Felsen and Jon Sargent. Felsen said he spoke with his client on Saturday at the police station and Sunday at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. | Hoggle is being represented by two Rockville attorneys, David Felsen and Jon Sargent.

| 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 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.

| 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. | Based on a tip to 911 late Friday, a police officer picked up Hoggle along a street in Germantown.
