“Penny Short Hartle, 50 of Hendersonville has been arrested and charged with 2nd Degree Murder. Hartle received no bond and she will have a first appearance on Monday April 26th.”
It’s not clear why Penny was charged with second murder instead of first, and at this point in time authorities aren’t sharing more information on what happened.
A woman commented on one of the press releases stating that Penny had broken into her home, and she called the police. The responding officer then ended up going to Penny’s home and found Caroline there.

Another woman commented on the statement from the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office saying, “OMG. This is absolutely unbelievable. I worked with this lady 15 years ago for a few years. Sweet, kind, and loving.”
“This has to be a mental illness. She seemed a little unstable back then but not capable of stabbing a child. Horrifying.”
