On September 8, 2014, Troy Turner's world was shattered when he reported his girlfriend, Catherine Hoggle, and their two youngest children, Sarah and Jacob, missing. Catherine initially returned, claiming she had dropped the children off at a new daycare, but her erratic behavior soon raised alarms. As the day unfolded, she led Troy on a wild goose chase, directing him to multiple locations where the children were not found. In a chilling move, she slipped away from a Chik-fil-A, disappearing for four days.
Catherine was eventually arrested and charged with neglect and hindering an investigation. Despite her later indictment for murder, she was deemed incompetent to stand trial due to her history of paranoid schizophrenia. The murder charges were dropped, but Catherine remains committed to a psychiatric hospital, refusing to reveal any information about the children's whereabouts.
Ten years on, the mystery of Sarah and Jacob's disappearance continues to haunt their family and community. Their father, Troy Turner, has never given up hope, dedicating his life to finding his children. Join me as I delve into the complex and heartbreaking case of the Hoggle children, exploring the twists and turns of the investigation and the ongoing quest for justice. Will the truth behind their disappearance ever be revealed, or will it remain a haunting enigma forever?
