rd I thought that Mark Hacking had implied that his wife was suppose to wake him up when he got home,however, it doesn't fit even if he was working, I don't get why anyone who would go to work on night shift come home and go to bed while there wife was out jogging and then get up again, this does not fit.

If Mark was not suppose to be working, then he would have been at home when she left so why would he be calling her work and saying how is Lori anyway???? This makes no sense to me. No one gets off nights, goes to bed and gets someone to wake them an hour later. The earliest he could have gotten off of nights is 0700. If his wife went jogging at 0530, then she would have to get out running for two hours and this gets her home by 0730, so what you wake someone who has been to sleep for what 15 minutes. Something is fishy with this scenario, so say he got off at 0600, and it is 6:30 when he would get home, and what to be awaken in less than an hour!!!

Well I have to go to bed as I have been working night shift, and if anyone was to wake me up to say good morning to me, I think I'd PUKE.

I don't buy his silly story about always getting up, this story makes no sense to me whatsoever, not on the day Lori died or any other day. I'm too tired to think about this it is ludicrious, perhaps someone else can help me here, but frankly no matter which way you cut it, it's BALARNEY.

Well Mark must have been lying about other things, as he has been lying for four years, wonder what that is all about,unless he registered for University and only took pscyhology 100 or something. Seems as though this may have been his jig. Will be interesting to find out what lies the meant he was living 4 out of the fie years he was married.

Lori was adopted, this puts a big wrench in the DNA identification, as in order to use mitocondrial DNA, one has to have a comparison point, without knowing relatives, this makes it very difficult if not impossible. Identification from hair will be able to be made, but this significantly reduces possibilities and lowers odds.

So we know the garbage can was plastic, therefore it could likely fit in his car. Upright in the back seat or on the floor of the back seat standing up.

Interesting they call Mark a Health Assistant, well,at $8.42 cents he was no orderly, not in the true sense of the word. There are sitters in the hospital, to prevent patients from injuring themselves, but I believe we pay them $10.00. Orderlies do things, like bath a patient, transport patients to and from proceedures, provide persoanal care on men patients, cateterize patients male and their duties vary from one hospital to the next. A sitter, assists with the activities of daily care, , helps them dress, make sure they do not harm themselves. A Nursing Assistant gets paid about $17.00 an hour. A Nurse about $23.00 at the bottom scale. I believe the porters in the hospital get about $12.00 and hour. Our minimum wage scale is $6.00 an hour in Nova Scotia. So I don't really know what Mark was doing, will look up some jobs on line at the hospital he works at in Utah.

Well I'm frazzled thinking about Marks lies, imagine trying to live with this, it wouldn't be any wonder if the killing was the other way around. This guy is so infantile, and annoying, I get agitated just thinking about him, what a royal pain in the butt this guy must have been to live with for 5 years!!!!!
Mark is enough to turn a person's stomach and to think that he was born to privledge, this is the true meaning of the word LOOSER.

I'm telling you, it's getting to be where people want a videotape of a murder, as if they're watching tv or something. Otherwise, it's we don't know who did it. Is there any proof???

Sheesh.

[Paperdoll]

Wondering whether Mark, knowing he was facing more telephone calls to Chapel Hill with Lori in the room on Monday morning. Decided to go to Plan B. Which was he finally told her some version of the truth that included I'm not in medical school.....but please help me save face. Lori would go jogging and "disappear" i.e. be kidnapped and stashed somewhere. Mark would stay in Utah as the frantic husband.....ultimately she could show up a la Elizabeth Smart with some story. Lori, being devsated and sensible, didn't go along and that's when the alleged killing happened. This guy was capable to major deception apparently so it doesn't make sense if it was premeditated that he would slip up on the charge card thing unless he didn't do it and was following the list of things to do as one poster suggested....but given the alleged information coming out that doesn't seem likely.

[rd]

I doubt seriously he ever said one word of truth to Lori, paperdoll. I'm sure he assurered her it was a mistake, he would straighten it out on Monday and then figured out that with her being pregnant and finding out he was not in medical school, she had to disappear.

The story below makes you cry. He had lying about going to school down to an art form, using tuition money to while away the days smoking and eating hot dogs while she put her MBA on hold for him to become a doctor.

And he killed her for it instead.

Lies Catch Up to Missing Woman's Husband
Associated Press
July 31, 2004

SALT LAKE CITY July 31, 2004 — By all accounts, Mark Hacking was fun to be around a loving husband who wanted to be respected and, like his father, become a doctor. But in the hours that he was supposedly studying for medical exams, Hacking often was hanging out at a neighborhood store refilling sodas, eating hot-dogs and smoking Camel menthols.

He told store clerks he was a therapist, and asked them never to reveal his cigarette habit to his wife both are Mormons and aren't supposed to smoke

He got his wife to pack up and move to North Carolina so he could attend medical school where, it turns out, he wasn't enrolled.

He kept textbooks spread open around his apartment, but in fact, he had dropped out of college.

Years of deceptions are catching up to the former nightshift hospital orderly and he has become the focus of the investigation into the disappearance of his wife.

As the search for Lori Hacking enters a third week without a trace of the 27-year-old woman, her friends and co-workers are recalling moments when they believe she discovered her husband's propensity for lying.

Detective Phil Eslinger said police are trying to build a "rock-solid" case, but they lack one important piece of evidence.

"We need a body," Assistant District Attorney Bob Stott said Friday. Dogs trained to locate cadavers were used this past week to search a municipal landfill.

Hacking's history of deceptions took relatives by surprise when his stories started unraveling in the past weeks, says his father, Douglas Hacking, a pediatrician.

"We didn't see it coming," he said. "We got completely blind-sided by it."

Mark Hacking reported his wife missing on July 19. The next day, he was taken to a psychiatric ward after he was seen running around at night naked in sandals outside a motel where he'd taken a room.

Doctors are trying to "sort out what is going on in his mind," his father said.

The family hired a noted Utah defense lawyer, D. Gilbert Athay, who was seen at the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute on Thursday. Athay will confirm only that he has spoken several times with Hacking.

Mark Hacking, 28, never was on track to become a doctor, nor is he a therapist. State records show he is a licensed health care assistant, a job he resigned July 23. The University of Utah says health care assistants start at $8.42 an hour.

Records show Lori Hacking, a stock broker's assistant at Wells Fargo, graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Utah in 1999.

She put her plans to pursue an MBA on hold until her husband could graduate from medical school.

But a friend of Lori's recalls her confiding in 2000 that Mark Hacking "just lied to me" about having enrolled one semester at college, both Salt Lake City daily newspapers reported Friday.

A bigger lie apparently left Lori Hacking stunned and sobbing on Friday, July 16.

Her colleagues say she had been trying to make some arrangements at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where she believed her husband had been accepted into medical school, but they believe a school administrator returned a call that day to say her husband wasn't enrolled there.

Lori Hacking, a private woman, didn't share her grief with co-workers but took up their suggestion to leave work early.

That night, she showed up with her husband at a going-away party at her boss' mountain cabin, betraying no sign of distress. She was last seen by friends Sunday night, July 18, and failed to show for work the next morning at 7 a.m.

Mark Hacking has told police his wife didn't return from a sunrise jog July 19, but his timeline is falling apart.

Police don't believe Lori Hacking ever went jogging at a city park, as he said.

And they doubt his claim that he jogged the route before reporting her missing. They say he was across town at a store buying a new mattress at 10:23 a.m, before alerting police at 10:49 a.m. Police have recovered the old mattress from a trash bin in their neighborhood, but have not commented on its condition.

Looks like this case breaks today. As in Chandra's case, the family gets information from reporters asking them questions. This is a sick, sick police mentality, but so is hiring a lawyer for a creep instead of answering questions.

Hacking is uncooperative. The missing woman legacy of Gary Condit and Scott Peterson continues.

I notice Rita Cosby contributed this breaking news. Every Saturday she goes into Salt Lake City and gets the story. By Saturday night it breaks.

More Evidence Points to Mark Hacking; Families Issue Statement
Fox news
Sunday, August 01, 2004

SALT LAKE CITY — The families of Mark and Lori Hacking (search) issued a statement late Saturday saying Mark Hacking (search) had provided information that makes a volunteer search for his missing wife unnecessary.

The statement asked volunteers to stop looking, but did not indicate what Hacking said.

Investigators said they had not yet heard from the relatives.

"If they've got information that's breaking, that's something we need to hear about." Detective Phil Eslinger told The Associated Press late Saturday.

Eslinger said detectives were trying to arrange a meeting with the family members, but he could not confirm a report that relatives were headed to the Salt Lake police department.

Lori Hacking's father, Eraldo Soares, said late Saturday that he was unaware of any new information about his daughter.

"I think it's crazy that they raise my hopes and chop me down," Soareas said, speaking from his home in California.

Soares has complained bitterly about not getting information from police. He said his updates on the case have come from reporters.

Police said they are planning a news conference Sunday.

Police are more certain missing pregnant woman Lori Hacking was killed after recovering a mattress belonging to her and her husband, FOX News has learned.

The mattress had marks on it, sources close to the investigation said, but no blood was found. Investigators believe a tarp or some other type of liquid-proof covering may have been placed on the mattress, indicating premeditation.

"Something was done to the mattress which indicates to authorities she was killed there," a source told FOX News.

Police have begun to suspect the body of Lori Hacking, 27, was placed in some kind of tarp and disposed of. They have spent the week digging through a municipal landfill and using cadaver dogs, a task complicated by the volume of garbage at the site and searing heat, Deseret Morning News reported.

Police also told the paper that a Dumpster had been confiscated as evidence in the case.

Sources also told FOX News that police believe Lori Hacking's husband Mark used a knife to kill her in their apartment. There was evidence of a struggle, which police purposely have not released.

Testing on a bloody knife taken from the apartment could take several weeks. The delay is due to a backlog at the medical examiner's apartment as well as the fact that Lori Hacking was adopted, a crime lab official has said.

Police believe Lori Hacking confronted her husband after discovering he had lied about graduating from college and being accepted to medical school. The Hackings had located an apartment in Chapel Hill near the University of North Carolina (search), where Mark Hacking said he was enrolled, and were set to move there the week after Lori disappeared.

That scenario may fit with an earlier theory that Lori Hacking died in a "rage killing." Mark Hacking, 28, had actively deceived his wife and family for years, going as far as leaving textbooks lying around the apartment to keep them convinced of his scholarly ambitions.

And in the hours that he was supposedly studying for medical exams, Hacking often was hanging out at a neighborhood store — refilling sodas, eating hot-dogs and smoking Camel menthols.

Hacking never was on track to become a doctor, nor is he a therapist as had been widely reported. State records show he is a licensed health care assistant, a job he resigned July 23. The University of Utah says health care assistants start at $8.42 an hour.

Just days before Mark Hacking reported his wife missing, Lori received a phone call at the office that prompted her to leave work early, sobbing and visibly upset, co-workers told police.

Mark Hacking reported his wife missing July 19, telling police that she'd gone for an early morning jog and hadn't returned. It was later discovered that while he was supposedly sleeping, he had actually gone out to purchase a new mattress.

The following day he was hospitalized in the psychiatric unit where he worked as an orderly after he was found naked outside a motel. He later retained high-profile attorney Gil Athay.

Police are still calling Mark Hacking a "person of interest," but legal analysts told FOX News that hospitalization may be the only thing keeping him from police custody at the moment. Police believe they have a strong case for murder, even without the body.

Sources close to the investigation also told FOX News that Mark Hacking is sticking to his story that his wife went jogging the morning she disappeared. Police believe Lori Hacking never made it to the park that day, and sources said Mark has not been cooperative since hiring an attorney.

FOX News' Rita Cosby and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

rd, you are so right about the videotape. It's like if people can't be in the same room while the event is occuring, then how could it happen? In this morning's news, the search for Lori has been called off due to "information" Mark has now provided to his parents. What can that mean but there is no more body? My God, did he run her through a wood chipper? Something I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with (also in the Peterson case) is the parents of the accused protecting their murderous offspring as-all-get-out. I don't care if Scott and Mark are their sons -they are also monsters. Don't these people, the parents, have any morals? I can understand why both Scott and Mark went terribly, terribly wrong - their parents probably never made them take responsibility for ANYTHING. Well, the police are gonna wanna know ASAP what "information" Mark gave them, and they have to provide it, right? Sheesh. Sheesh. Sheesh.

[jane]

The issue of Lori being adopted is another wrinkle in the case, when it comes to DNA testing. I have long thought that secrecy surrounding adoption is not a good thing, and here is one more reason adoption should be open. I would be ticked if my origins were hidden from me, I think.

[laskipper]

What is ironic about the DNA problem as relates to Lori is the fact that she is a member of the LDS church. The Mormons own the largest Genealogy database in the world. When I was tinkering with my family tree, I went to the local LDS church for records.

Here, a member, with no genealogy? How odd.

[peripeteia]

The police likely told, Mark or his Head Doctor, that the dogs had found a limb or something from Lori's body and they had sent it for DNA analysis, and that Lori's Mother had been located. That they would continue digging.

It behooves me to understand what bloody purpose did Mark have to kill his wife, it is just too Freud for me to understand. Nothing seems to fit, except in his own twisted view of things, this is not to say that he is totally crazy. Until other evidence is found to suggest motive, one just can't help but feel that he must be crazy, in that, his life wouldn't mean a hell of beans no matter what he had, cause he had it all, and he sat hanging out at the local shoppe sneaking cigarettes thinking up lies to tell when he got home.

Mark had the opportunity to do anything and everything but he chose to control those around him with his lies, this is the totality of his life, this is what he thought about, what he got his kick from, and the hatred inside of him, ate at his soul. He thought about and did nothing else but acted on his hatred and resentment of the success of others. He played childish games. My guess is that he a complusive talker, and thithered away his life in total bull.

Lori's killing was not a result of a psychotic episode. Mark when to such extrodinary lengths to get rid of Lori's body requiring indepth deliberation.

His behavior sounds as if he took drugs, as how does anyone sit around in a public place telling lies, when you could be doing anything you wanted to, now that is weird, I just cannot begin to go there, this is SLOTH.

It would be very interesting to hear the tales of the local patrons of the shoppe, these takes Mark told are likely priceless. If he sat around there all day, they had to have known he was full of it!. Or are we to guess he carried around books and papers, what the hell kind of loon is that. We call that kind of person crazy, but there is another side to Mark, I suspect it is drugs of sometype an this is why he has the low paying jobs, but I'd hardly think that he would be able to steal the drugs in the position he was in.

I'm afraid Mark is ill, and deluded

I think also, a body is not necessary for this case. And although Mark has sometype of personality type disorder and likely crimpling neurosis, he however is not insane. He knew what he was doing was wrong but he continued to do this, this was deliberate, and possibly premeditated.

The absolute best case scenario for Mark would be for him to plead for his life an accepts manslaughter; one way or the other his life as miserable as it is now, in the future, no matter which way it goes it all gets more miserable. Things only get worse. The point of no denial is here.

Opps...

I meant to post a different article- will post later when I get home.

[peripeteia]

We see that there has been likely a life time of denial, that things about Mark were put under the table. The medical data on his file should be analysized from his fall, whether it is likely that he suffered chronic pain, and if he had a brain concussion. My guess he is taking medication. My guess is that he has poor coping mechanisms. He has never stood on his own.

This guy likely has been up to God knows what, the Newspaper in Canada reported another side of the Mark's life, he had been given the boot from a mission in the late nineties for dating young women, and he and 4 others were asked to leave the mission. This story in the Winnepeg newpaper sites a friend of Lori's confirming the story,

Likely at head office in Utah, they church did not want this information leaked. This is the problem with secrecy. We cannot and should not protect our neighbours who do wrong, and even our family even if this casts a bad light upon ourselves.

Landfill searchers rest

Police say Hacking hunt still on, evidence sought
By Jennifer Dobner, Pat Reavy and Laura Hancock
Deseret Morning News

Investigators took a rest from searching a city landfill Thursday night, but they said no one should assume that means the search for missing jogger Lori Hacking is being scaled back or that police have located the evidence they're seeking.

Lori and Mark Hacking are subject of enormous speculation. Talk has surfaced about Mark Hacking being sent home early from his mission.

Associated Press
"It's the dogs," Salt Lake Police Department spokesman and detective Phil Eslinger said. "They need a break."
For much of the 11 days since Lori Hacking disappeared, the search has focused on the Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Facility, 6030 W. California Ave. (1400 South). Investigators with cadaver dogs have dug through a one- to two-acre area of the landfill at least four times, including three consecutive nights through Wednesday.
Overnight Wednesday, the search continued for more than seven hours, with large portable flood lights illuminating the trash-laden acreage. Several dogs and their handlers picked carefully through the waste pile with homicide detectives as hazardous materials experts and firefighters from the Salt Lake City Fire Department watched.
Police plan to resume searching the 450-acre refuse facility at a later date, although Eslinger did not know when.
As of Thursday, however, "nothing of consequence" had been discovered, police detective Kevin Joiner said.
Asked by the Deseret Morning News if police were looking for Lori Hacking's body at the Solid Waste Facility, Joiner said, "The whole focus of the investigation is to find Lori, wherever she may be."
Hacking, 27, was reported missing July 19 by her husband, Mark. He told police that his wife had gone for a sunrise jog in Memory Grove but had never returned. She has not been seen since.
Mark Hacking has been at a University of Utah psychiatric unit since early July 20 when he was found wearing nothing but sandals and creating a disturbance at a downtown Salt Lake City motel near his apartment.







Lori's parents, Thelma and Herald Soares, along with Mark's parents, Douglas and Janet Hacking, have asked the community to join their families to observe today as a day of fasting and prayer in hopes of aiding the search that will find Lori.
Mark Hacking became a "person of interest" in the investigation after police filed a search warrant to collect evidence from the couple's apartment and after police learned that Mark Hacking had lied about his present and future life.
Police have been tight-lipped about the types of evidence they've collected, but credible sources told the Deseret Morning News that a knife with blood and hair attached was removed from the Hackings' apartment, near 100 South and 900 East.
Police were also seen hauling out crates and paper bags, allegedly filled with evidence, and a box spring from the apartment.
All of the evidence collected in the investigation is being sent to the Utah State Crime Lab for analysis.
A State Crime Lab officials Thursday said it typically takes four to six weeks to process the test results. He said that is actually faster than the mid-1990s when the turnaround time on forensic testing took was six to eight months.
While every case is important, deputy director Jay Henry said, "rush cases," which must meet certain criteria, receive priority and are moved to the front of the waiting list.
He refused to talk about specific cases, but lab forensic services director Stu Smith said priority is given to cases where the public's safety is jeopardized, such as serial rapes or homicides, or in missing persons cases.
Typically, one to 400 pieces of evidence are collected in any case, Henry said. The State Crime Lab averages 30,000 to 50,000 pieces of evidence a year from 140 law enforcement agencies statewide.
In every case, scientists at the crime lab constantly communicate with police investigators. Detectives are updated frequently on their evidence's status and they also are told if a certain type of evidence needs to be collected.
"It's the only way to do an effective investigation," Henry said.
Police believe Mark Hacking has told numerous lies to his family and friends for years. That web of lies might well explain why Salt Lake County prosecutors asked a judge to agree to an "application for secrecy," which would effectively seal any subpoenas of witnesses, records or other evidentiary items.
Such orders are not used often but are generally sought so that police can obtain information without tipping their hand, said Steve Major, an assistant Davis County district attorney.
"We use it, for example, when we are issuing subpoena for records or search warrants. If I need bank records, I might seek a secrecy order so that the bank isn't telling the (account holder) that we are looking at the records," Major said. "In a case like this, you might use it to determine what's true and what's not true."
Such an order would also protect the identity of a witness or the information that witness might provide. That can be helpful in cases where police believe the investigative process will be lengthy, a court date for prosecution might be a long way off and they want to protect a witness from harassment, or a location would be better kept secret.
"When you've got got a lot of people out there and you've got a lot of speculation, you'd like to keep (your case) under wraps," Major said. He added that as a prosecutor if a Hacking-type investigation crossed his desk, "I'd probably do the same thing."
Both Major and University of Utah law professor Erik Luna suggest the request for secrecy could be a reflection of fallout from the investigation of the Elizabeth Smart case, which was plagued with information leaks and, in the end, heavily focused attention on Richard Ricci, a "person of interest" who it turned out was never involved with the teen's disappearance.
"I'm not sure that the order of secrecy is directly related to the lesson learned with the Elizabeth Smart case," Luna said. "But I think that the care that is being taken with law enforcement in the (Hacking) investigation is directly related to that case."
Each day that the Hacking story continues to make the headlines, more stories and questions seem to surface. On Tuesday, a Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada newspaper reported Hacking had been sent home early from a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for disciplinary reasons.
Two women, both of whom asked for anonymity but were in the same mission as Hacking, said he and three other men were released from their duties. Two of the men, including Hacking, were secretly dating young women, something that is forbidden during a stint as a missionary. The other elders were released because they failed to report the misconduct to the mission president.
Then-mission president Lorin Mendenhall denied the reports to the Winnipeg Sun on Tuesday. But word traveled quickly through the mission district when Hacking and the others were dismissed, said one of the women who spoke with the Deseret Morning News on Wednesday.
"Word travels fast, and to be in the same district with him, you just knew, " she said. "We were friends. My companions and his companion would play practical jokes on one another all the time. But I did think there was another side to him."
Scott Simpson was Hacking's missionary companion for two months in 1996. Hacking served his mission in Winnipeg from 1995 to 1997.
"He was a funny, enjoyable guy to be around. Out of all my companions I clicked the quickest with him. We had a great time together," he told the Deseret Morning News in a phone call from Sacramento.
Simpson said, however, that he thought Hacking had left the mission field early, although he did not know the reason.
Simpson said Hacking talked fondly about his high school sweetheart, Lori, and her family while on his mission.
"That's why I'm still in shock," he said. "The guy I know wouldn't do anything like that. My opinion is that she was abducted."
Simpson said he last saw Mark and Lori Hacking three years ago when he traveled through Utah. Even then, he said, Lori would often jog to the gym by herself.
After Mark Hacking returned from his mission he was injured after falling off a roof while working construction, Simpson said. He injured his back and bed-rested for awhile, he said.
A telephone call seeking comment from the Hacking family about Mark's early release from his mission was not returned.
Heidi Gregory, a former roommate of Lori Hacking, told KSL-TV that Mark did come home early from his mission.
"From what he had told her, it didn't seem like he had done anything wrong," she told KSL-TV. "It was someone else that had made a mistake that he was sent home."
Lori Hacking's former roommates also told KSL-TV that she may have known something about Mark dropping out of school before last week.
"While we were running one day, she told me that she had found out that he wasn't enrolled that semester, or that he had withdrawn from his classes," Gina Spackman said. "She just said, 'He just lied to me. I don't know what that means, and if he has lied to me about other things. But I don't know.' "

Evening Peri! It will be interesting to see what MH comes up with as a defense. Personally, I thought that you were right and that he put Loris' body into the hospital incinerator.

I read that he had a bad fall years ago. He had worked construction and fell off a roof on his head, so I imagine that will come into play.

An attorney was on TV the other night and was giving possible scenarios. The attorney said that maybe Lori blew up and came at Mark. Mark killed her in self defense.

That was a crock. The attorney is giving Mark ideas before he is charged. Maybe you'll read more about him. I read about that on another board.

[peripeteia]

Skipper he may have dumped her in the hospital garbage that then was dumped in the landfill. The hospital where he worked may not have had an incinerator, and it is only fired on certain days, in Canada they can only burn certain things, OR waste usually for enviromental reasons.

But if he had dumped her body himself in the landfill he might have been seen, but to put it in the hospital garbage then he would not been seen as out of place. Put Lori in the garbage can, and while he was emptying the garbage from the unit he worked on, then he could just go out on break drive his car to near the waste receptical and place her in the dumpster.

Skip soon as I heard the fall from the roof, we can just imagine the defense scrambling to make a case. However given that he was kicked out of the mission before the fall, this sort of puts a crimp in the tale that he had a personailty changed after the fall.

I thought too about Lori attacking him, however, given this scenario, he would have to have defensive wounds, and there should only be one wound on Lori, and that should not be straight through the heart. There should be marks on her arms from the struggle. My guess is that they won't find the body, and if they do, forensic evidence might not be in such optimal conditions. The difference in size make this scenario somewhat shaky a defense.

You're right, the hospital dumpster would be a better place.

The neighbor with the garbage can is going to come into play in all this. The one that found a brown substance in his garbage can and reported it to police. The man washed the container but there were a few maggots that LE retrieved and saved for the DNA. Evidently you can get the DNA out of the maggot somehow of the tissue/blood that the maggots were feeding on.

So far, the neighbors garbage can seems to be in the running for one place that Mark distributed parts of Loris' body.

The hospital would be, as you say, another likely spot. From the sounds of things, he was busy dumping stuff half the night. Didn't they find the mattress (part of it) in a dumpster at the church?

The report yesterday, that Mark told a 3rd party that he wrapped Lori's body in sheets and dumped her body along with the mattress doesn't add up in light of all the other news. The good news is that he admitted that he did kill Lori. The bad news is that he added details that don't add up in light of everything else that's been coming out (such as the neighbor with blood/tissue in his garbage can). But it's a start.
