Father Tearfully Pleads for Missing Daughter to Come Home

The father of a Montgomery County woman who is reportedly not on medication for schizophrenia and has disappeared with two of her young children pleaded with his daughter to return home.

Montgomery County Police have a warrant to arrest Catherine Hoggle, 27, of the 12200 block of Elm Forest Court in Clarksburg, on charges of child neglect.

Hoggle, a paranoid schizophrenic, and her two children, Jacob Hoggle, 2, and Sarah Hoggle, 3, have all been missing since at least Monday.

On Sunday, Catherine Hoggle had borrowed her father’s gray 2012 Nissan Rogue SUV to reportedly pick up pizza for Jacob, according to Patch. Catherine Hoggle returned without pizza or the boy, saying she had left him at a friend’s house.

Monday morning, Catherine Hoggle allegedly told the children’s father, Troy Turner, she was dropping off Sarah at an unknown daycare. She refused to give him the children’s whereabouts.

Catherine Hoggle was reported as missing on Monday when she left the restaurant she and Turner had stopped out on the way to the police station. A K9 bloodhound tracked her to the Germantown Transit Center, and she has not been seen since.

In a press conference on Thursday, Catherine Hoggle’s father, Randy Hoggle, asked her to return home.

“We know, Catherine, this is not you,” Randy Hoggle said. “This is not what you’re about and what you do.”

Randy Hoggle said his daughter had been off medication for at least two weeks.

“Please come home,” Randy Hoggle said, addressing his daughter directly at the press conference. “We miss you, and we miss the kids.”

Anyone who has seen Catherine Hoggle or her two children is asked to call 9-1-1.
