Case Story |

A Cry For Help |
|
| |
On Monday, July 19, 2004 police in Salt Lake City picked up the phone and heard a sobbing man on the other end of the phone. It was Mark Hacking. He told them that his wife, Lori, had gone out for a morning jog, and had never returned.
"She just vanished," says Detective Dwayne Baird of the Salt Lake City Police Department.
A massive search was quickly organized for the 27 year-old woman. But there was no sign of her. Hacking says that Lori went jogging in Memory Grove Park in Salt Lake City at about 5:30 in the morning, while he was still asleep. She went jogging in the morning instead of her normal time in the afternoon, he says, because the two were planning to go to the movies when Lori was done with work. Mark was taking the day off. According to Mark, the plan was for Lori to wake him up when she was done with her jog, then he was to drive her to work. She was supposed to be at work by 7:00 am.
There was no sign of Lori, but police would soon find signs of foul play.

But everything changed less than a month after Lori Disappeared. On Monday August 9, 2004 police in Salt Lake City arrested Mark, calling him responsible for her death. Though there was no sign of Lori's body at the time, police cited evidence found in the Hacking home and car.
Cops say hours after Mark Hacking reported his wife missing, they received a call about a disturbance at a hotel near the Hacking home. When they arrived, they found Mark Hacking, running around -- naked. Mark was released to his family, who checked him into a psychiatric facility.
Then came another shock. Everyone believed that Mark and Lori were about to move to North Carolina, where Mark would attend medical school. But Mark's family announced that he admitted to them that he'd never applied to medical school. In fact, his family learned, he'd never even graduated from college. |

Police also learned that shortly before Mark Hacking called them on July 19th, he purchased a new mattress. They wonder why he'd need to replace a mattress on that particular day. Cops haven't said anything about what may have happened to the old mattress, but they were seen removing box spring's from Mark and Lori's apartment.
That's not all they found there.
Police in Salt Lake City are confirming that they discovered a knife in the Hacking home which was stained with blood and had hairs on it.
