(KSL News) -- The family of Mark Hacking has hired a prominent criminal defense lawyer to represent him.
Gil Athay confirmed to KSL Newsradio that he is Hacking's lawyer, but declined to comment further.
Athay has represented some of Utah's most notorious murderers, including the Hi-Fi shop killers and John Albert Taylor.
Meanwhile, the police say Mark Hacking is the only "person of interest" they've named in Lori's disappearance.
When asked if police have caught Hacking in any more lies, Salt Lake City Police Detective Dwayne Baird told KSL Newsradio that it's easier to focus on the things Hacking has been truthful about, although he cannot think of any.
Hacking has admitted to lying about his college education. He and Lori were moving to North Carolina, presumably so he could attend medical school, when she vanished.
This type of representation answers the question of whether Lori is no longer with us...and who did it, IMO.
I find it no coincidence that the volunteer search was called off ad the same time the news of Mark hiring a lawyer came out....
I was just watching Fox news and I don't know if I misunderstood or what but they stated something to the affect that they had to have a body to proscute????? Did anyone else hear this?? Surely that is wrong. Many cases have never recovered a body. If this should be Utah law maybe that is why he hacked her in little pieces...His clothes had to be extremely bloodied are they in a dumpster too?????
I also had another thought as far as motive....Maybe he really hated the success of all of his family so much he thought by doing this he would ruin all of their lives and his father and brothers carreers would suffer badly from it
He is a skunk
