SALT LAKE CITY -- Authorities in Salt Lake City said they would comment on Sunday on what is said to be new information in the Lori Hacking case.
Hacking is the young woman who disappeared three weeks ago allegedly while jogging in a park.
The families of Hacking and her husband, Mark, faxed statements to news agencies late Saturday saying that Hacking has provided information that makes a volunteer search for his missing wife unnecessary.
The statement did not say what Hacking revealed and, as of late Saturday night, police said there was nothing new in the search for the woman.
Family members reportedly took the information to police.
Mark Hacking has become the sole focus of the investigation.
Soon after he reported his wife missing, the lies he had been telling family and friends about his life began to surface. It turns out he was not a medical student and never finished college. Police said his timeline also crumbled.
Not long after her death, he was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation after he was found running naked in the street. (While I guess it's safe to assume that after 3 weeks, she's dead, I don't believe the media has ever publicly stated this. I'll bet the families called it off because he told them he killed her. We'll see.)
His father said doctors are trying to "sort out what is going on in his mind."
Salt Lake City television stations are now showing a tape of Mark Hacking joking with friends and lying about his education. He said, for example, that he earned a degree in psychology.
When Hacking was supposedly studying for medical exams -- the story he told his family -- he was often hanging out at a neighborhood store.
