Sarah, 3, and Jacob Hoggle, 2, vanished while in the custody of their mother, Catherine Hoggle. Hoggle told police she gave her kids away, but prosecutors accuse the Maryland mom of murdering them. Hoggle, who has been in a mental health facility since her arrest soon after they disappeared, indicted for their murders and moved to a jail. Now nine years after the children went missing, murder charges against Hoggle have been dropped and the mom will not stand trial in their deaths. Hoggle has consistently been ruled incompetent.

The search for Ricky Griffis began two days after his last contact with his mother.
When Alice Mabe texted her 46-year-old son, asking if he was coming home that night, he said "no." He didn’t come home the next night either. And then he didn’t show up for work.
Griffis was seen leaving an acquaintance’s place of business on July 5th. Several texts were exchanged with the acquaintance. The next day his car was found near the Coopersville strip mines.
That morning, Griffis sent his family a strange text around 9 a.m. It said he was stuck in the woods, but Griffis’ cell phone was found in the vehicle, along with his wallet.

The socialite charged with shoving an elderly woman to her death may be getting a plea deal.
Lauren Pazienza's attorney says the woman couldn’t possess the intent to commit the crime. Defense attorney Arthur Aidala says his client was using prescription drugs, and had imbibed up to two bottles of wine, and marijuana at the time.
The victim, 87-year-old Broadway singing coach Barbara Maier Gustern, fell and hit her head, after being hit by Pazienza. She was conscious directly after the incident, but fell into unconsciousness and died from her injuries five days later.
Pazienza has already turned down two plea deals from prosecutors. If convicted, Pazienza faces up to 25 years behind bars. Her next court date is July 20.

Murders suspect Bryan Kohberger's defense team is asking a judge to stay proceedings in the case.
Attorney Anne Taylor is calling for prosecutors to disclose more materials, including the full record of the grand jury proceedings. Taylor says the information is necessary to Kohberger's defense, intended to quote, "preserve his right to contest the indictment."
While Kohberger's legal team is entitled to the transcript of the grand jury, there is a question of what other information could be handed over, such as people who were subpoenaed, or anything said off the record. This is as details are released on the probability of the DNA match from the knife sheath found at the murder scene. Court documents state that DNA collected from suspect Bryan Kohberger is a ‘statistical match’ for DNA on the sheath of the knife.
Kohberger’s attorney is asking a judge for more time to decide whether to offer a formal alibi for Kohberger in this case. Taylor said in a motion that the defense team had not had sufficient time to fully review the evidence provided by the prosecution. Thousands of pages of discovery, thousands of photographs, and hundreds of hours of recordings," have been provided to the defense.
Idaho law lays out 10 days for a criminal defendant to reveal whether an alibi will be offered. A judge can extend that deadline.
