You're homing in on it, Spunky. Good memory!
That's the one. Excellent!
Looking over the news items, I've started to put together a timeline and the following is the first such "timeline" problem I encountered. Any insights and commentary you can offer are appreciated.
It's been established that, after failing to obtain a mattress right away at the first store, Hacking arrived at the second one at ~9:45 AM on Monday, July 19. He settled on a mattress to buy and gave them his credit card, then went outside to make some cel calls while his card was cleared and the mattress was prepared for transport. This was at ~10:00 AM.
One of the places he called was Lori's place of work, the Wells Fargo office. At that time he spoke to two people in her office. The first was Brandon Hodge, an employee Lori had been training. During that conversation, he asked him, "By the way, how is Lori doing?" Hodge replied that she had not come to work that day. Then Lori's boss, a guy named Church, got on the line. During that conversation, Hacking said, "Oh, my God, her [work] clothes are still here," at which point Church told him to get off the phone and call the police immediately.
Hold that thought.
While Hacking was outside the store waiting for the transaction to go through, he also called some friends, telling them he didn't know where she was and had jogged her route in Memory Grove going both ways, a total of 6 miles, in an effort to find her.
Question #1: If Hacking had been so concerned about Lori's whereabouts that he went on an exploratory jog that morning, then why didn't he call her office on his cel right after he failed to find her? Why did he wait under 10 AM to do so? He wouldn't have bothered looking for her if she had returned home at her usual time. And after completing the search jog, it would have been well past the 7 AM time she always got to her office (co-workers and boss said she was "never late"). If he was so concerned about her whereabouts, why would he go shopping for a mattress instead making a simple cel call first? Are we to believe the man would be worried enough to drive downtown to a park and run for miles in search of his wife but not be worried enough to spend 30 seconds calling her office to see if she was there?
Question #2: Why did he not call the police right after his phone conversation with Church? Why did he wait for 30 or 40 minutes to do that, electing instead to keep fooling with the mattress people, then drive home with the mattress, then meet his friends at Memory Grove to continue looking for Lori? When he got there, his friends told him that they had already reported her missing to the police. Only then did he call them himself. That call was logged at 10:49 AM.
Question #3: Why would he have said to Church, "Oh, my God, her [work] clothes are still here," if he was not at home, but sitting outside a mattress store -- a store he was about to calmly walk back into and spend another ~20 minutes fooling with a mattress purchase? Lisa Downs, co-owner of Bradley's Sleep Etc, said he was still there at 10:35 AM. Church later stated he was put off to discover from news accounts that Hacking had apparently misrepresented his whereabouts during their conversation.
Your thoughts, please?
(And there are other timeline problems here, involving such things as how long it would have taken Hacking to do all the things he said he did and still get to the first mattress store at the time he did. I still need to estimate the times and distances involved there and any assistance would be most appreciated.)
Forgot to ping you with the rest to post 143.

Latest...I am just really giving you links to things if you need them to post an article..Runningbear posts a bunch of articles at once on the Laci Posts and it keeps us from getting howls(almost) from the purists....;)
I kind of like the howls of the "purists." Inspires me to post a lot more articles and really get into the case.
Oops! Make that "forthwith."
It probably has already been posted but what I find suspicious is that he didn't use the mattress store's delivery service, maybe things are different in that state.
Last summer I ordered a new mattress same day delivery if I wanted and they not only deliver free of charge but take away the old mattress. Same goes on appliances deliver and take old away.
Why would someone want to hassle moving a mattress when the store would do all the work for you? Unless that store had a no delivery policy.
He seemed to want that mattress mighty bad...and fast.
Did Lori have a life insurance policy. Its possible he killed her because of that.
I know Savage likes to say this is all a coverup to keep us from focusing on the crooked pols. I don't agree.
Americans have always dug mysteries. Ellery Queen, Nero Wolfe, Perry Mason, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, heck, Encyclopedia Brown! It goes on and on. And for pure entertainment sake, these disappearance cases are better than fiction, because they are still unfolding.
Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean people in general aren't interested in finding out more. It's market-driven, not pushed on the viewing, listening, and reading public.
His big lie was blowing up in his face. They were moving for him to attend med school and they find he had not graduated from college, much less been accepted to med schol..Stress and resentment got to him, I think.He had lied to all the families and Lori..very elaborate and sick.
Yeah well this is as Fishy as the Peterson murder IMO.
Hey here is a partial listing of Mattress stores. I live in a little town and can get a mattress same day delivery. It just shows me that he was hiding something by not allowing it to be delivered and as others pointed out who buys a mattress before moving.
Even the worst mattress most of us would wait and if the mattress was that bad/lumpy sleep on the couch.
Hackings mattress sounds like it may have been saturated in blood and the smell from that would start reeking oh and it is evidence.

Good thinking, Lori. I haven't seen anybody bring that up yet. Surprising since it's such a classic motive. In this case, though, I would tend to doubt that was Hacking's game. The police have called this a rage killing and my impression so far is that Hacking saw his wife as a threat to his continuing pretense of accomplishment. However, if Lori does turn out to be life-insured and Hacking's convicted of killing her, he won't get a penny of it.
Hey I agree my son has had the Dem Con daily gavel to gavel and I still have had time to look at local and national news.
If anyone wants to see the Dem Con CSAPN has it uninterupted. That is the channel he has chosen I asked him why not the other channels with commentary such as Fox with Shep and he said he wants it straight and plain he is into it and when our WC vender who is a lib showed up he even commented to my son that he IS a die hard political junky and that the vender being a lib political suave guy would not watch the boring Dem Con.
Heh Heh my son retains everything he's taking notes to see how flip floppy this all gets by Nov.
Hey, a man's crib is too important to put on a back burner. Missing wives? They can wait.
BINGO!!!
No one but Fox has reported the rage killing but they could have found castoff from wielding the knife over and over...She was probably asleep....The police press conference had no real info except to quit the mattress hunt, call ins as they already "have all they need"..
