Clarksburg woman to appear in court for disappearance of her two children
Catherine Hoggle, a Clarksburg woman whose two children disappeared nearly three years ago, is appearing in court today, and her lawyers are expected to ask the judge to drop the misdemeanor charges against her. She was the last known person to see Sarah, 3, and Jacob Hoggle, 2, on Sept. 7, 2014. She currently faces counts of child neglect, but prosecutors believe she may have murdered the children and is feigning mental illness to avoid trial. She has been undergoing treatment at a psychiatric hospital since January 2015. [WTOP]
