Bad (but not unexpected) news for the Hackings
It appears that the husband of missing Utah woman Lori Hacking is now a person of extreme interest, upgraded from just "person of interest":
Not surprising. My speculation is that somehow she found out about his deception over his education (or lack thereof), perhaps he even told her, and the ensuing fight escalated as he decompensated from the strain of lying for so long. To have lived a lie like that for many years would require a lot of work, not to mention the deep-seated insecurities and jealousy of his older, very successful brothers that must have given rise to his lies. I only wish that the cataclysm such revelations always cause had not washed away Lori's life.
SALT LAKE CITY — Bloodstains have been found all over the apartment of Mark and Lori Hacking (search), family and investigative sources told Fox News...
investigators detected a substantial amount of blood and blood drippings using the forensic chemical luminol (search), which can make traces of blood glow blue-green in the dark even if it has been cleaned up, sources say...
“We think he’s lying and we hope to prove it soon,” an investigative official told Fox News [referring to Mark Hacking].
