Lori's outraged father lashes out


''Monstrous act'': In a statement, Hareld Soares decries the tragic death of his daughter, his son-in-law's lies and cowardice, says he seeks justice, not vengeance

Four days after his wife vanished, Mark Hacking wrapped his large arms around his father-in-law's small frame and promised he wasn't responsible.

    Now, believing his daughter's body is among thousands of tons of waste paper, plastics and rotting food, Hareld Soares is lashing out at his son-in-law.

   "As the facts about my little girl's death emerge, I am outraged," Soares said in a statement Friday. "The innumerable lies she was told by her husband for years on end were selfish and shameful. The cowardly way in which she and her baby were brutally murdered in cold blood while she slept is despicable."

   Police allege Mark Hacking, 28, killed his wife, Lori, in the early morning hours of July 19 and threw her body into a Dumpster, the contents of which were discarded at the Salt Lake County landfill that afternoon.

   For the seventh night in two weeks, detectives on Friday scoured a two-acre plot of the landfill, searching with cadaver dogs for any sign of her body.

   "The gutless attempt at covering up this monstrous act is appalling. It is difficult to imagine a more disrespectful way of disposing of her remains. No family should have to lose a daughter and sister this way," said Soares, a teacher from Fullerton, Calif.

stone cold steve austin wannabe's-can't trust them



Seriously I think people like Hacking who keep wanting to mimmick many other fictional and nonfictional personas have major mental identity crisis issues. He's a classic case.

Gut feeling.

I've known a few men that had that kind of bald and shaped head and every one of them were weirdo's.

That's not to say there aren't good men that look like that, I've just never met them.

How do you elaborate on a gut feeling?

I guess I was hoping for a more scientifically based answer. I am in the visual effects biz and there are tons of bald guys with goatees. Most of them are sweet as pie. They look tough but have a tender heart...Don't know if your "profiling" is accurate across the board. Sometimes I put a towel on my head after I take a shower but that doesn't mean I'm a terrorist.

Most of the time I expect that of me also, but I'm such a disappointment.

You have an important profession ... God Bless you and your work.

Ping to over here, DeeJay!

Earlier videos show Mark with a full head of hair. Contrast that with his shaved head and he looks very different. Odd.

What a trip down the Peterson memory lane this case is becoming.

No kidding--Deejay keeps saying there must be a genetic match between Mark and Scott!

I know. I wish the news channels would stop showing the wedding dance video. It's hard to view.

I mentioned last week, when will Mark grow hair and shave his face, in case of a trial.

No matter what the pundints on tv are saying, I think Scott will be found guilty. It's the lies Scott told. And his actions that will sink him.

Most defendants are found guilty because of the lies. Martha Stewart for example. When she lied to LE. Had she told the fessed up and been honest, she wouldn't be where she is at this point in time.

The media (aka pundits) like to think of themselves as judge and jury--and if they thought they could get away with it, executioner too in some cases.

My 97 year old Grandfather has a bald head like that. Should I be worried?

Yeah...I understand gut feelings too but one of my best friends for the last 10 years is shaved bald with a goatee and he's the most honest person I've ever met. He always calls 'em like he sees 'em and doesn't care what people think of him. He would do anything for a friend but he hates dishonesty and bad character. He looks like he could kill someone but he's a really sensitive, caring guy...so judging a book only by it's cover can be misleading.
In LA every other person has that "look"...it's part of the movie biz style I guess.

Mr. Soares has indeed been incredible throughout this horror. But he is discovering what countless scores of victims and their families already know: The justice system is geared toward the one in the dock. Every effort is made to ensure he has the fairest of trials and that's just the beginning. Victims are a footnote. It's insane, but that's essentially what goes on.

Yes, Miz. Media is not consistant. What they find incriminating in ONE case, they excuse in another, if ya know what I mean...LOL.

I'm on and off the forum for awhile, so IF you all hear that Mark has been formally charged, PLEASE PING.

PS, I think he looks better with the shaved head, tho he's still creepy looking.

Gee, Mark Hacking might have felt pressured to achieve so he murdered his wife and unborn child, lied, and then when it fell apart, hid out in the loony bin to help create an insanity defense. Are we supposed to feel sympathy for this poor fellow, the dumb one in an overachieving family? Dumb like a fox. Lori would have demanded alimony, and then there's that pesky matter of 18 years of child support. Pregnant women are dying like flies.

Interesting in 48 Hours article that his parents were footing the bill for his tuition 3 years ago, or his mom thought so, until contacting college. Perhaps not so unusual, but I know my folks would have never done it, after getting married...

Sure do appreciate all the research and work you're doing Miz!

Seems I read or heard somewhere that a friend of Mark's said Mark was not too keen on having a kid.

Egads, all that has happened makes ya wonder what his plan was if they had actually made the move? Could he have gotten away with it easier, further away from the families??

Think of all the money that would save both interms of court personnel and that evidence testing stuff. /so

Mark killed his wife. I can see he flipped out AFTER he realized the gravity of what he'd done and ran around nekkid. I don't really think it was premeditate like many, but he did it. Even if his confession gets tossed there is still all that pesky evidence from inside their apartment....

>stone cold steve austin wannabe's-can't trust them

I'm one of those guys
that's hairy as a sasquatch.
Every now and then

the hair gets to me
and I shave my face and head
and look like Austin.

It's not that I want
to look like Stone Cold, I just
get tired of ape-man . . .

I admire the Hacking family's integrity and decency in wanting to do the right thing and in obtaining the confession from their son. Anyone comparing this case with the Peterson case can only feel contempt for the Peterson family for not doing the same. If the Peterson family do know that their evil son/brother is guilty, then in my opinion, they are just as guilty as he is, and deserve the world's scorn for putting their in-laws through the terrible ordeal they have gone through with all the months of anguished searching and the horribly long trial.
