Tips Slowing in Case of Missing Hoggle Children (VIDEO)
Tips from people who believe they may have seen the missing Hoggle toddlers are “slowing,” according to Montgomery County Police Capt. Darren Francke.
Francke, director of the department’s Major Crimes Division, said his officers run out every tip and most recently have gone to investigate sightings in Frederick County’s Costco and Olive Garden restaurant. None of the tips have lead to finding Jacob and Sarah Hoggle who have been missing since September. The two were last seen with their mother Catherine Hoggle who is charged in their disappearance. She is being treated for mental illness at the Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center.
One recent alleged sighting by a woman at a rest stop in New Jersey on Dec. 28 failed to show images of the children on camera. The woman reported seeing them in an area of the rest stop that turned out not to have cameras. Francke said it took several days to obtain a copy of the video because the rest stop management company that owned the rights to the video initially sent the wrong video to police. Francke said detectives traveled to New Jersey to finally ensure the proper video was given to police.
Francke talks about one of the tips his officers ran down in Germantown.
