Police are more certain missing pregnant woman Lori Hacking was killed after recovering a mattress belonging to her and her husband, FOX News has learned.
The mattress had marks on it, sources close to the investigation said, but no blood was found. Investigators believe a tarp or some other type of liquid-proof covering may have been placed on the mattress, indicating premeditation.
"Something was done to the mattress which indicates to authorities she was killed there," a source told FOX News.
Police have begun to suspect the body of Lori Hacking, 27, was placed in some kind of tarp and disposed of.

Sources also told FOX News that police believe Lori Hacking's husband Mark used a knife to kill her in their apartment. There was evidence of a struggle, which police purposely have not released.
Testing on a bloody knife taken from the apartment could take several weeks. The delay is due to a backlog at the medical examiner's apartment as well as the fact that Lori Hacking was adopted, a crime lab official has said.
Police believe Lori Hacking confronted her husband after discovering he had lied about graduating from college and being accepted to medical school. The Hackings had located an apartment in Chapel Hill near the University of North Carolina (search), where Mark Hacking said he was enrolled, and were set to move there the week after Lori disappeared.
That scenario may fit with an earlier theory that Lori Hacking died in a "rage killing." Mark Hacking, 28, had actively deceived his wife and family for years, going as far as leaving textbooks lying around the apartment to keep them convinced of his scholarly ambitions.
