That's not what I said. The media has the power to promote and bury stories. The Sandy Berger affair embarasses Democrats and the left in general. Not something Kerry needs and the newsrooms know it. So, if folks believe that the television networks and newspaper publishers tilt left and have a bias for them, it doesn't hurt news outlets to promote a sensational murder case that's developing and ease scrutiny on a man who is affiliated with the Kerry campaign as we close in on the election.
All I can say is that I hope this horrid story helps someone that may be in the same type of relationship, to see the signs and get out!
Right. If not the murder then something. ANYTHING. They might even have bored us with Nicholas Cage's third marriage stories, etc and more Michael Jackson garbage. Anything but report something that might damage Kerry.
If you mean Utah, I was in the Security field for many years and attended a seminar in Salt Lake regarding fraud. One speaker, from the Salt Lake P.D., said that Utah has an extremely high number of fraud crimes. He also went into the theory that some Mormon young men have a hard time keeping up with their successful dads, brothers, friends, etc, so they get caught up in living a secret life. I didn't think too much of it then, but the investigator's talk sure makes some sense now..

I'm not saying that she left the company poor. But I do know that the "millions" she was expecting never happened. That is a fact.
Thanks so much for the heads up! It's going to be a long night for some SLC cops and parents.
Thankyou so much for the update/confirmation, Palladin! Hopefully, Hacking is now ready to deal. Utah Girl and others pinged me on these threads tonight. To wit: All searching has been called off by police due to Hacking's parents bringing them information about something Mark has told them. Hope it's not another one of his lies.
Really? Isn't it free registration?
Oops! You're right, Vanderbilt has now made it a subscription service. I'll look around for another source that's still free. Pity.
The thought of having to watch this guy's trial night-in and night-out on Greta's show is sickening. I'm already drained by this case and wish that they could find the body and help the family move on. America will be no wiser or better by having to watch the judiciary process work itself out in this murder.
America will be no better or wiser by playing golf either. Should everybody stop playing it?
No, that's okay. I'll look for the info myself. That's what we should all do when in doubt. I was wondering if anyone knew off-hand.
It's none of your business. Smoking IS a legal commodity, don't you know! And 55 million of us smoke, and that doesn't make us all killers. Let's stay on topic, shall we?
GrandMoM, if your talking about the smoking issue........well.....55 million of us smoke, and that sure doesn't make us killers!
Ever since the media brought that out that he "smokes," it seems to make him an even dirtier person then he is. The real issue here is: he's a killer. At least from all reports that "I" am hearing.
If he drank and got drunk, that alone would be the culprit to turn him into a rage fit..............not smoking.
I'm just really tired of all smokers being demonized by the anti-smoking bunch. ALCOHOL set him off NOT smoking, for crying out loud!
If all he did was smoke, Lori would probably still be alive today.
I am keeping an eye on this thread. Anything yet? Did the Hackings go to the Police Station? Did Mark make a statement? Please let us know what you find out, out there!
Let me know what you find if convenient.
He was making $8.42 an hour. That's $16,000 a year if he worked full time. That's not even remotely middle class let alone upper class.
I think the story has gained interest because of it's similarity to the Laci Peterson story (they didn't have money either). But a pretty, pregnant wife disappears. An outwardly "perfect marriage" ... and the husband kills the wife.
I'd like to be on the Hacking case ping list if you or someone is doing one. TIA

Great idea in highsight. I think most of these women don't realize the level of danger they are in. Who in their right mind would murder someone over a lie? Almost nobody. Almost.
