ROCKVILLE, Md. — Catherine Hoggle, the mother of Sarah and Jacob Hoggle, was found competent to stand trial for their murder, a judge ruled today, according to our ABC-affiliate in Washington, D.C., WJLA.

This comes after a competency hearing that lasted two days.

"I don't agree with his decision, but I certainly respect it," says David Felsen, Catherine Hoggle's attorney, following the announcement.

Hoggle is charged with Sarah and Jacob's murder. She was most recently charged in July, after having been discharged from Clifton Perkins Psychiatric Hospital.

She had previously been charged, but had been found incompetent for long enough that the state was required to drop the charges.

The children haven't been seen since September 2014, but no bodies have ever been found.
