appeared in Montgomery County District Court on Monday, two days after he was arrested for the murder of 49-year-old Jaclyn McGuigan, according to the Montgomery County Police Department. A

judge ordered Kevin to be held for a mental health evaluation and scheduled a Jan. 7 bail review, according to several local news outlets. On Friday, Jaclyn’s body was found at the entrance

of Saint Raphael Catholic Church and School in Potomac. Authorities said Jaclyn, who died at the scene, had wounds that appeared to be from a cutting type of instrument. Witnesses told

it, according to court documents obtained by the _Washington Post_. Kevin was arrested on Saturday at a gas station in Rockville on an arrest warrant charging him with first-degree murder.

Though the investigation is currently ongoing, authorities determined that Jaclyn was last seen leaving her residence in her Honda sedan with her son Kevin on Friday. According to court

documents, Kevin called his mother from his cell phone, allegedly asking her to meet him. His sister Kaitlin McGuigan saw him and their mother drive off in the Honda sedan. The public

against Kevin in February 2016. In Montgomery County, protective orders remain in effect for up to one year and can be extended for up to six months. Court records, obtained by NBC
