Lori Soares Hacking,
27
UT, Salt Lake City,
Salt Lake Co.
On July 19, 2004, Lori was reported to police as missing by her
husband Mark Hacking, age 28. Hacking
participated in the search for his wife. Hacking was subsequently arrested and
charged with one count of first-degree felony murder and three counts of
obstructing justice, a second degree felony.
Prosecutors allege
that Hacking shot Lori in the head with a .22 caliber rifle while she slept and
then discarded her body and the rifle in different dumpsters in the Salt Lake
City area. Many weeks later Lori’s badly decomposed body was found in the landfill.
Hacking had lied to
Lori and their families about graduating from college at the University of
Utah, being accepted to medical school and other personal accomplishments.
In the spring of
2005, Hacking pleaded guilty to First Degree Felony Murder. He was sentenced to
the statutorily prescribed term of five year to life in the Utah State Prison.
The Utah Board of Pardons will determine the exact time he serves in prison. Based
on that board’s treatment of other murderers, Hacking is likely to spend at
least 25-30 years behind bars.
