WASHINGTON 鈥 Two Montgomery County children have been missing for more than a year, but their family hasn鈥檛 given up hope.
After launching their own investigation into the children鈥檚 disappearance, the family led a new 聽search of聽the 253-acre Goshen Recreational Park in Montgomery County on Saturday聽and will be there again on Sunday.
鈥淲e just feel like there鈥檚 an area that鈥檚 been missed that would actually have a high possibility of being a place that she would take them to, if she did something to them,鈥 said Troy Turner, the children鈥檚 father.
Jacob and Sarah聽were last with their mother, Catherine Hoggle, in September 2014 and haven鈥檛 been seen since. Their mother suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and is at a psychiatric facility. She has only said the children are with a friend.
Since their disappearance, the children鈥檚 father has continued to search, and with the help of a private investigator, he has tried to retrace the steps of Catherine Hoggle on the day the kids disappeared.
鈥淲e feel like the information is there, it鈥檚 either been interpreted wrong or God forbid, it鈥檚 actually been missed due to missteps in the beginning,鈥 Turner said.
Turner said he still holds on to hope that his children are alive, but he says the search of the park is not for living children.
鈥淲e look as hard as we can and pray we find nothing,鈥 he聽said.
Turner said he won鈥檛 stop searching for his children and is planning similar events later this year.
鈥淭hat doesn鈥檛 even cross my mind to give up on my children in way shape or form,鈥 he聽said.
Turner is asking for volunteers to help them with the search.
Registration will take place at Goshen Recreational Park at 8:30 a.m. The park is located at 22330 Wildcat Road in Germantown, directly across from Butlers Orchard.
