He purportedly and recently spent time in custody based on a mental health warrant. The local police department said they have no records of this occurring.

Another woman, who has recently been arrested and accused of murder, also allegedly took a family member's life via stabbing. In this case, it was Penny Short Hartle's five-year-old daughter.

It was also claimed that Hartle suffered from mental health issues, but no connection has been made to the murder. The shocking incident occurred shortly after her daughter Caroline Rose Cagle's 5th birthday.
