Katharine Hoggle, thirty eight from Clarksburg, Maryland, was indicted on
two counts of first degree murdered by a grand jury
on Thursday in relation to the presumed deaths of her children,
Sarah and Jacob Hoggle. This announcement was made by the
Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office in a press release on Monday.

(00:23):
Authorities have indicated that Hogle was the last person known
to have seen her children, three year old Sarah and
two year old Jacob, before they vanished in September twenty fourteen.
They have not been located since. At the time of
their disappearance, Hogle informed her boyfriend Troy Turner, who is
also the father of her children, that she had placed

(00:46):
them in a new daycare. However, she did not reveal
their location when Turner attempted to pick them up, as
he recounted in twenty seventeen. Since then, he has led
numerous search efforts and created a Facebook page titled Find Sarah,
Find Jacob. Hoggle, who has faced challenges with mental health issues,

(01:07):
was initially charged with murder, but those charges were dismissed
after a court deemed her unfit to stand trial. Her
attorney told NBC four that his client was incompetent to
stand trial then, and she's incompetent to do so now.
If she never becomes competent, I can say this, she
won't be tried. Who cannot try someone unless they're competent.

(01:30):
Hoggle spent several years in a psychiatric facility, but was
released last month, according to the Associated Press. To date,
she has not provided authorities with any information regarding her
children's whereabouts. The Montgomery County State's Attorney's office announced that
Hoggle was taken into custody on Friday after authorities learned

(01:50):
of her discharge from the facility. A bond review hearing
is set for Monday. More crime and justice news after this.

approximately twelve hundred miles to his grandparents residence in Florida,

(02:13):

Jeremiah Campbell, twenty two, was found by police in a
distressed state, crying and claiming that God told him to
bring his grandparents to him. He faces two charges of
second degree murder for the deaths of eighty three year
old George White and eighty one year old Mary White,

(02:36):
his wife. On the evening of July twenty three, deputies
from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office were called to a
shooting incident at a home on Washington Street in Melbourne
around eight forty five pm. According to the arrest Affidavid
George White managed to escape to a neighbor's house, pleading
for help and asking them to call nine one one.

(02:57):
As the neighbors initiated the call, she reported here daring
gunfire coming from the direction of her door. George White
was shot in the chest and later died from his
injuries at a nearby hospital. The neighbor's granddaughter, who was
also struck by gunfire, sustained non life threatening injuries. Upon
entering the White home, deputies discovered Mary White dead in

nearby in a state of distress and shouting nonsense. Police
said he expressed a desire to retrieve his Porsche before
being taken into custody. While in the police car, he

to God and identified George White as his grandfather. During questioning,
he allegedly stated, now Satan sees I am a valuable
man of the Kingdom, and also mentioned that his grandfather
