In a letter written to her husband, Lori Hacking expressed frustration that caused her to consider ending her five-year marriage to Mark Hacking, according to new court documents released Wednesday.

“I can’t imagine life with you if things don’t change,” she wrote. “I got someone I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with unless changes are made.”

“I want to grow old with you, but I can’t do it under these conditions,” she wrote in the undated letter, found by police in the Hackings spare bedroom as part of four search warrants served during the investigation of Lori’s disappearance.

Detectives returned those search warrants to 3rd District Court on Wednesday, providing a glimpse into the evidence sought and seized from the Hacking’s apartment, their cars and the University Neuropsychiatric Institute, where Mark Hacking worked.

Police took bedding, computer equipment, personal papers and biological evidence including blood and hair. Investigators also took samples of Mark Hacking’s blood and palm prints, and they found instructions for managing panic attacks in his locker at work.  

Prosecutors say Mark Hacking shot his wife once in the head with a .22-caliber rifle while she slept during the early morning hours of July 19 because Lori had learned he never graduated from college and that he didn’t apply to medical school.

Charging documents say Hacking confessed to his brothers. He allegedly threw Lori’s body into a Dumpster outside of the neuropsychiatric institute, the gun into another Dumpster, and the mattress into a third Dumpster behind a church.

Investigators have not yet recovered the gun or Lori’s body, both of which are believed to be in the Salt Lake County landfill. Salt Lake City police plan to start a 10th night of searching the landfill on Thursday.
