I have insomnia, so decided to get an early start. This article is quite interesting with some new info. I remember the guy from the taping place now, they interviewed him a couple of days after Lori disappeared/was murdered.

And why does this article make Randee Alston Reid sound so scared? Puzzling.

what the heck is a U-?

[Utah Girl]

I read that article and didn't even catch that. The U. is the University of Utah, commonly known as the U of U around here or the U. for short.

Thanks.

This guy isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he?

You should have heard Glenn Beck talking about him today...

"And why does this article make Randee Alston Reid sound so scared? Puzzling."

I focused more on the "distraught" -- I imagine knowing that she happened to be the one who gave Lori the info that precipitated Lori confronting her husband and being murdered may be weighing heavily on the poor woman.

[Utah Girl]

Good explanation. Thanks.

I wonder if they'll ever find her body. As for Randee Reid, who knows. Maybe she's upset over this. She could have been the person that Lori spoke to on the phone that friday, and LE have told her not to speak to anyone.

What did Glenn Beck have to say?

The police say that the crime scene was 'disorganized'. I think Hacking was the suspect from the get go, lady lawyer says that police were probably onto him when they looked at Lori's car parked where she usually went jogging. The seat was pushed way back and there was blood in the car.

[Utah Girl]

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

It seems to be open season on pregnant wives. There will be no justice done, I fear.

U- means University of Utah - it is the Nuerological? unit where Mark worked.

[Rabbit29]

Sorry if I would have read further down I would have seen that you got your response. :)

Pingggggggggg...that is a really good article. I am having doubts that they will ever find her body. She is probably on the opposite end of the landfill. What a shame. Poor family of hers.

You had to be there. He talked about what a loser the guy was, hanging out at the convenience store, smoking cigarettes and slurping slushies, like a teenager playing hookie, playing video games etc.

Then he walked thru the crime from Hacking's short attention span view point. Get home, get confronted by wife, ugly scene, big fight - then they take a break and go back to the convenience store! - she kicks him out, he goes into next room to pack his stuff (spacey in the head music) pack or video games? Plays video games. She falls asleep. he starts packing again. Finds gun. (spacey in the head music) pack, video games, shoot wife? Shoots wife. (spacey in the head music) pack, video games, get a slushie. (spacey in the head music) Oh! get rid of blood soaked pillow!

On and on while he goes thru the details of getting rid of the body, with a total absence of planning, only noticing that each step created a new problem after it was taken...

*shrug* It's just an extended abortion...

[Rabbit29]

Yes it was. Sad isn't it?

Thanks for the ping--your insomnia has sure turned up an interesting article! As for Reid--the sense I got was that she might be feeling a sense of guilt--illogical, but sometimes we humans go through something like this. She is the one who told Lori he wasn't registered there, so it could be that in her mind, she set off the chain of events resulting in her death. Like I say, illogical, but some of us experience that.

This article, though, might explain the cryptic mention of an "unidentified informant" in one of the articles I posted yesterday--maybe it was the Future Tech person. Or maybe there's still another witness?

As this case ambled on, I kept wondering if a security camera somewhere might turn up some evidence--and sure enough, here's one! Maybe there are more.
