Wusa9s jim osman tells us a massive search for the hoggle children is planned for this weekend and it will rely heavily on volunteers. Reporter this area of germantown in a Shopping Center has been a central post for the hoggle childrens family, in part because of what we now learned are the numerous spottings by bus drivers and the like of katherine cog l in the time before she bolted. Catherine hoggle in the time before she bolted. Theres hope the children could be nearby. The only reason i could think of why she kept coming around this area would be because her kids must be around. Reporter her children went missing and hoggle disappeared after being pressed by the childrens father about the kids exact whereabouts.

The apparent chilling final tweet of a Georgetown University student who passed away from what School Officials say was meningitis.

We dont know how she contracted bacterial meningitis, but the school said proper precautions have been taken and no one on campus needs to worry. However, meningitis can be contagious.
