A former employee at a child day care center in Nicholasville has admitted defrauding the company out of thousands of dollars.

On Tuesday, Pamela Sandlin, 55, pleaded guilty to a fraud charge in front of U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell.

Sandlin admitted that, over the course of several years, she fraudulently took thousands of dollars while working as the Assistant Director at the Kids Connection Learning Center (KCLC), a company that annually receives more than $10,000 in federal program funding.

According to her plea agreement, Sandlin was responsible for collecting money from parents, making bank deposits, and documenting financial transactions for KCLC. Court documents also established that Sandlin altered company records to conceal the fraud.

Judge Caldwell has scheduled an evidentiary hearing on December 11 to determine how much money Sandlin took from KCLC. Sandlin will be sentenced during this hearing as well.

Sandlin faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.

Robert Hoagland’s Labor Day tradition was cooking a special-recipe clam chowder for family and friends.

On Monday, Lori Hoagland compiled the ingredients in her husband’s place.

“It wasn’t as good as his … but I made it in his honor,” said Lori Hoagland, a culinary teacher at Newtown High School for the last three years.

Robert “Hoagy” Hoagland vanished from the family’s Glen Road home 38 days ago. He was last seen mowing the lawn.

His wife and three children, and a large network of family friends and supporters, are anxious and mystified by the disappearance of the 50-year-old.

Despite some family difficulties, he was not the kind of man to simply walk away, according to family and friends.

“He’s a kind man, a thoughtful man, a loving man,” said Lori Hoagland. “It just makes no sense.”

At the Labor Day parade Monday, friends circulated fliers. A Facebook page, “HelpUs Find Hoagy,” was started.

The National Park Service was notified because the Hoaglands had talked of hiking some of the Appalachian Trail this summer with their eldest son, Max, 23.

Max was the last person to see his father at the family home.

Lori Hoagland is all but certain her husband would not willingly walk away from his family and job responsibilities.

“In my mind, I don’t believe he just left … Wouldn’t he have surfaced by now?”

On Tuesday, Newtown Police Chief Michael Kehoe said the investigation into Hoagland’s case remains “open and active,” but there is nothing new to report.

“We’re doing all the things we should be doing. It’s time consuming and labor intensive, but we’re doing yeoman’s work in trying to find him,” Kehoe said.

Kehoe said investigators have found no indication that Hoagland has used a credit card or cellphone since he was last seen on July 28.

That morning, he went to the Bagel Delight shop, then stopped at the Mobil gas station at 6:45 a.m. to buy a half-tank of gas.

Station surveillance camera footage shows him in a white T-shirt, khaki shorts and his standard loafers. At the counter, he paid with a credit card.

At the time, Lori Hoagland was traveling home from a 17-day vacation in Turkey. She discovered her husband missing after he failed to pick her up at LaGuardia Airport the morning of July 29.

Hoagland ate breakfast with Max the previous day, answered some text messages, played three games of online Scrabble and mowed the lawn.

A neighbor saw him in the yard between 10 and 11 a.m. and heard Max tell his father he was leaving for a few hours, Lori Hoagland said.

The mower was stowed in its usual spot in the basement, and his dirty clothes were found in the laundry. His loafers were in the living room.

Hoagland’s cellphone, passport and blood pressure medication were found in his office.

A couple of weeks later, Hoagland’s wallet and the key to the family’s Mini Cooper were found hidden in the bedroom.

A cash withdrawal of $600 was made from the south Newtown branch of Union Savings Bank the Thursday before his disappearance. That money has not been found, Lori Hoagland said.

Asked if her husband might have had a motive to disappear, Lori Hoagland said she cannot comprehend such a possibility.

The couple were struggling with some issues related to their son, who had been in trouble with the law.

Max Hoagland was arrested on a trespass charge in Bridgeport the evening after his father disappeared. Max told police he was looking to buy drugs.

“It was definitely a challenging situation, but not one so desperate that he’d just leave,” Lori Hoagland said, adding she and her husband were “completely in tandem” about how to help their son.

As time stretches, Lori Hoagland said, she becomes more “frantic.” She is comforted by the police’s vigilance and support from her community, including students, who stand with her as she awaits word.

“We just need to know,” she said. “We’re hoping for the best, but we want some resolution and closure.”

Detectives are asking the public for help in identifying two suspects accused of using stolen credit cards to make fraudulent purchases at area stores.

The suspects allegedly stole a wallet from a patron at the Washboard Laundry, located on Hazelwood Drive in Smyrna, on July 29 and used the credit cards that were in it to go on a shopping spree.

“These individuals went to the Wal-Mart and the Home Depot fuel station in Smyrna and made several purchases,” said Kevin Arnold, chief of the Smyrna Police Department.

While at the fuel station, Arnold said, the suspects used one of the credit cards to buy gasoline for two vehicles, of which one was silver and the other was a dark-colored, four-door sedan.

They were last seen leaving the area in those two vehicles, he said.

The suspects are described as a heavyset black male who was wearing a white shirt and black female, possibly in her early 20s. At the time of the incident, the woman was wearing a floral blouse and pink skirt.

Anyone who has information about the suspects is asked to call Allan Nabours, a detective with Police Department, at 615-459-6644.
