On 11/12/2010, it was reported to the Knox County Sheriff's Office that an employee failed to show up at work at a local business in Mt. Vernon. A check of the residence revealed evidence that the occupants were possibly a victim of a crime. Their vehicle was found abandoned near Kenyon College in Mt. Vernon. It is unknown when they went missing, but the children were last seen at school on 11/10/2010.
The children's father said blood was discovered in the mother's home.
Her live-in boyfriend said Friday 11/12/10 he last heard from the mother on Wednesday morning, 11/10/10.
Also missing was 41-year-old Stephanie Sprang, a friend with whom Herrmann was planning to get an apartment, said Greg Borders, who said he and Herrmann had recently ended a six-year relationship.
Greg Borders (ex live in bf) said
Herrmann texted him on his way to work at a distribution center about 80 miles away in West Jefferson about 4:40 a.m. Wednesday 11/10/10, to let him know that she'd fed the dog. He said the dog, a miniature pinscher named Tanner, was also missing.
The couple were still living together in the split-level house that sits along a rural road despite splitting up several weeks ago.
"We were fairly civil, as civil as you can be living in the same house when you're split up," he told reporters outside the home. He said they argued, but said their fights were never physical.
Greg Borders says he finished his shift 4 p.m. Wednesday and spent the night with a friend. He was playing golf on Thursday 11/11/10, when his mother called and said something was wrong with Herrmann.
He didn't think much of it, until
he returned to the house in Howard after 5:30 p.m. Thursday 11/11/10, and found authorities there.
He (Greg Borders) gave officers permission to search the house and didn't go inside himself.
"I think something bad happened, something happened inside the house," Greg Borders said. "It's not like Tina or me to leave the house unsecured."
It wasn't clear if the house was unlocked when authorities arrived Thursday.
Barber told WBNS-TV that when Herrmann's co-worker came to the home, she went in and "saw some things out of place." The children's father, Larry Maynard, told the station he talked to the co-worker.
"She went into the home, and when she went into the home, from my understanding, that she seen some blood in the home. And at that point she turned around and left," Maynard said.
Authorities didn't immediately return phone calls seeking comment and Borders said he hadn't heard anything about blood being found.
The friend's vehicle was found parked at the home, authorities said.
