Missing Woman’s Kin Appoint Spokesman

Relatives of a missing Salt Lake City woman said they were clinging to diminishing hopes of finding her alive, and appointed a spokesman, Scott Dunaway, after a week of nearly constant media coverage.

“We are all exhausted and we feel we need to concentrate our efforts and our energies on finding Lori,” said Thelma Soares, the mother of Lori Hacking, 27.

Mark Hacking, 28, the husband of the missing pregnant woman who has been under psychiatric care since Tuesday, is still a “person of interest” in the case, said Police Det. Dwayne Baird.
