Florida Woman Charged with Witness Tampering, False Statements and Obstruction of Justice in Relation to Her Husband’s Disappearance

WASHINGTON – A Gainesville, Fla., woman was charged in a seven-count indictment filed yesterday in the Northern District of Florida for her alleged role in the obstruction of a multinational investigation into the disappearance of her husband, James Hogan, then an employee in the U.S. Consulate in Curacao, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Pamela Cothran Marsh for the Northern District of Florida, Ambassador Eric J. Boswell of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and John V. Gillies, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Miami Field Office.
 
Abby Beard Hogan, 50, was charged with two counts of making false statements to federal law enforcement officials, one count of witness tampering and four counts of obstruction of justice.   According to the indictment, on the night of Sept. 24, 2009, James Hogan, an employee at the U.S. Consulate in Curacao, a Caribbean island that was part of the Netherlands Antilles, left his home on foot and subsequently disappeared.   The next day, a diver located his blood-stained clothing on a local beach.   American officials and the government of Curacao and the Kingdom of the Netherlands opened an investigation into the disappearance of James Hogan. 
 
The indictment alleges that, during the course of the investigation, Abby Hogan repeatedly provided false information to U.S. law enforcement about the time period before James Hogan’s disappearance and withheld relevant information.   Abby Hogan allegedly denied, among other things, that she was having an extramarital affair and that she and her husband had argued about the affair on the night of Sept. 24, 2009.   Additionally, the indictment alleges that Abby Hogan deleted multiple emails discussing the events leading up to and surrounding her husband’s disappearance.   The indictment also alleges that Abby Hogan instructed at least one person to conceal information from investigators.
 
The indictment is merely an allegation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
 
Abby Hogan faces a maximum of five years in prison for each false statement count and 20 years in prison for each count of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
 
The case is being prosecuted by Senior Trial Attorney Teresa Wallbaum of the Criminal Division’s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Williams for the Northern District of Florida.  The Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs provided assistance.  The case is being investigated by the U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service and the FBI’s Miami Field Office and Legal Attache Office in Bridgetown, Barbados.   Assistance was also provided by Curacao law enforcement authorities. 

11-1079 Criminal Division

This is the first indictment in the disappearance case that will mark a two year milestone next month. I'm afraid this case may take a tawdry turn before it is over.

 ::snipping2::

We do not know if a report of presumptive death was officially issued in this case. And this one we still do not understand -- how can an American official simply disappears from his host country of assignment and there is barely a ripple in the American press?

I'm confused too. 

As far as I can tell, they aren't accusing her of killing him or having him killed.

What do they think happened to him, and how did her statements prevent them from finding him?

Finding him, or what happened to him and why he hasn't been found is the most important thing...right?

Is this case going to be deemed another one of those unfreakinbelievable suicides?

They're content with charging her with Witness Tampering, False Statements and Obstruction of Justice for now.  The case is still open in Curacao.   I doubt that they will work very hard to find him.  jmo

Could this be helpful (regarding death issue)? --

My thoughts and prayers are with James Hogan's family today, especially his children.

Two years ago today, their lives were forever changed.

I can only imagine what they're going through.  I hope they have a strong support system around them and can lean on each other as well in the coming days.

You're welcome Buckeye.  Yes, it is so sad.

I'm curious what your thoughts are after reading the indictment...

I have so many questions. 

1.  Who is "W".
