Lori Soares Hacking, a 27-year-old Caucasian woman believed to be about five weeks pregnant, was reported missing from Salt Lake City on the morning of July 19, 2004 after her husband, Mark Hacking, told police she had gone for a customary jog and never returned. A large search followed, but investigators soon focused on inconsistencies in the husband’s account. Reporting shows Lori had discovered long-term lies about his education and career, and that confrontation is presented as a precipitating factor.

Authorities say Lori was killed in her sleep on July 19, 2004; she was shot in the head with a .22-caliber rifle and her body was disposed of in a dumpster. Mark Hacking’s behavior after her disappearance, including being found running naked and later undergoing psychiatric evaluation, culminated in a confession to his brothers, who informed police. He was arrested on August 2, 2004, and Lori’s remains were recovered after an extended landfill search. Mark Hacking pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received a sentence of six years to life.

If anyone knew Lori, her routines, or saw activity around her neighborhood in July 2004, please share what might help fill remaining gaps in the timeline.
