ROCKVILLE, Md. — A judge will wait until December to hold a competency hearing before making a legal determination on Catherine Hoggle's competency to stand trial for the murder of her two children.
Sarah and Jacob Hoggle went missing in September of 2014, aged just 2 and 3.

Catherine Hoggle has previously been charged with their murders but was found incompetent to stand trial. Due to state law, after continuous findings of incompetency for five years, the charges had to be dropped.
She was charged again this summer, after having been released from Clifton Perkins Hospital, a psychiatric facility.
Hoggle's attorney confirmed that an evaluation from a Perkins doctor has found her to be incompetent, yet again, but the state is challenging it.
However, the judge would still need to find her incompetent for her not to go to trial.
"I'm disappointed," he told WMAR-2 News following the postponement of Monday's hearing.
She is currently being held without bond, though a bail review hearing has been scheduled.
