SALT LAKE CITY — The night after 27-year-old Lori Hacking (search) disappeared, her husband was causing a disturbance at a local hotel, FOX News has learned.
Police late Monday night responded to a complaint at the Chase Suites Hotel, where Mark Hacking (search) was running around naked, only wearing a pair of sandals.
When the officers realized who he was, they took him to the nearby University Neuropsychiatric Institute (search), where he was admitted as a patient.
FOX News has also learned that less than a half hour before Mark Hacking called police to report that his pregnant wife never returned from her morning jog, he was at Bradley's Sleep Etc. buying a new mattress.
The owners of the furniture store told The Salt Lake Tribune that Hacking came in about 9:45 a.m. Lisa Downs, the wife of store owner Chad Downs, said the credit-card purchase went through at 10:23 a.m..
Police have said Hacking called them and reported his wife missing at 10:49 a.m.
Friends told the Tribune that he had called them about 10 a.m. about his wife's disappearance and said he had twice run his wife's usual jogging route, three miles each way.
Hacking, 28, has not appeared publicly since Monday, the day he said his wife vanished. Family members say he has since been hospitalized for stress.
Detective Dwayne Baird said police considered Hacking a person of interest in the case but not a suspect, and that he had been interviewed as recently as Wednesday.
Lori Hacking was five weeks pregnant when she disappeared just days before the couple was to move to North Carolina, where Mark Hacking said he was going to attend medical school. But he had lied to his wife and family — he never graduated from college, nor was he accepted to any medical school, authorities said Thursday.
Police removed a number of items from the couple's apartment Monday. They would not say what they have taken from the apartment, but television news footage showed paper bags, boxes and a box spring being removed. Police impounded a large trash bin from behind the apartment complex.
Mark Hacking's family and in-laws said they were stunned to learn Wednesday that he had not graduated from college or been accepted at a medical school, as he had claimed.
Thelma Soares, Lori Hacking's mother, said that she was certain her daughter had not known about the discrepancies. "Up to the time when I spoke with her last, she was deceived also," she told KUTV-TV.
Douglas Hacking said even though his son is incapacitated by grief, they spoke of the deception Wednesday night at the hospital.
"He has two older brothers who are high achievers, a physician and the other is an electrical engineer," he said. "He felt under some pressure to excel as well.

Not everyone I know went to their undergrad ceremony. Many wait until the big ending -- Master's or M.D. to attend the party. So, maybe he "claimed" the same reasoning, even though now we know there wouldn't have been a diploma anyway. As for the diploma, he could have made some excuse like "It's in the mail" or "It's held up because of a student loan matter/library book/whatever."
Who knows what he was really thinking? It will be interesting to hear more about what they found in the bedroom. Don't people watch CSI and Forensic Files? Don't they know that you can't just toss an old mattress and get a new one and expect that no one will be suspicious? Don't they know that you can never REALLY get rid of blood stains or every single fiber?
I'm still not clear on whether she really went jogging that morning or not. If someone else saw here (beyond a reasonable doubt), then I'd feel safer in assuming she *might* still be alive and truly missing. But if no one else saw her or talked to her since the night before her disappearance, that gave Mark plenty of time (all night) to do whatever he did, attempt to clean up, remove the mattress, and whatever else he did.
I can't wait to hear more, but I hope we're all wrong and she comes back home alive.
Remember -- a lot of us thought Elizabeth Smart was dead and we were pleasantly surprised when she made it back home to her parents.

I hope she is alive but my gut feeling tells me he killed her. I certainly hope I am wrong.
He is definitely a nut case.
Just read this at Foxnews.com:
SALT LAKE CITY — The father of Mark Hacking (search), whose pregnant wife vanished this week, said in an emotional news conference Friday that his hospitalized son told him he had nothing to do with her disappearance.
"I confronted my son yesterday in the morning," said Douglas Hacking. "I looked him in the eye and said, 'I need to know whether you had anything to do with Lori’s disappearance.' He looked me in the eye and he said 'No.'"
The press conference came on the heels of new details of bizarre behavior exhibited by Mark Hacking only hours after he reported his wife, 27-year-old Lori Hacking (search), missing Monday morning.
_____________________________________________________________
Well he lied about college and being accepted to med school so what makes them think he is telling the truth now. He is a "LIAR."

I can only think of one possiblity about the med school/college lie, and that is maybe he was planning to attend some type of medical tech school that doesn't require an undergraduate degree?
Had he applied to transfer any credits anywhere? Or applied for a student loan, student aid of any kind? Bank and school records will tell this, IF they can convince a court there's enough evidence to look into him as a suspect.
Too they'll need a writ of habeas corpus to hold this guy?
Lots of people don't go to graduation ceremonies. I didn't go to mine after I found out they wanted MORE MONEY after the thousands I'd already paid. Phooey to that... I told them to mail it, I already had a job lined up. Those things are torture anyway, droning on for hours and hours... :p

Considering that his own father has suspicions of him being involved, it makes me even more uneasy. I pray for her safe return.
