Thanks for posting this. I thought she might be released since it's been three years and the judge has never deemed her competent to be questioned.
I hope there will be justice for the children.
No that's not how this works. A friend of mine went through something similar when her schizophrenic BIL murdered his parents. He wasn't declared fit for trial for 6 years but he wasn't released in the meantime. He literally sat in jail unmediated until he was declared fit for trial at which he was found guilty.

Still think about these kids.
I wonder too sometimes. I mean - by now they are of course dead. But, just - how could she do this? To her own children ????
I just don’t understand it at all.

Last update was right before spring. Judge said not ripe for dismissal until 2022. [b]New psychiatric evaluation says she has reached maximum part of recovery; suggest it is because she has a psychological barrier preventing “restoration” to sanity because what she did was so horrific.
I feel sick thinking about this. I had not been familiar with the story until now. Those poor babies.

Maryland law says a person should be released if they are not tried five years after being charged.
If they don't find her competent, she will be released. She has an older child (full sibling to the missing kids), who is living with the father Troy Turner. I hope Catherine never gets access to the third child.

How would they not have found the children by now?
