Eerie 'Goodbye' Photo in Missing Woman Case

S A L T   L A K E   C I T Y, July 28, 2004 -- In an eerie photo taken the Friday before she disappeared, Lori Hacking holds up a farewell cake on which was written "We'll miss you, Lori." And the supervisor standing with her in the photo, taken at an office goodbye party, says he received a phone call from her distraught husband Mark the day she vanished.

"He kind of broke down," Randy Church, Hacking's supervisor, told ABC News. "And I said, 'Mark, you got to call the police. Get off the phone right now and call the police.' "

Hacking, 27 and early in a pregnancy, has been missing since July 19, when Mark Hacking reported to police that she had not returned from an early morning jog nor shown up for work at Wells Fargo bank.

Mark Hacking — named by Salt Lake police as a "person of interest" in the disappearance — has been hospitalized in a psychiatric ward since having an emotional breakdown following his wife's disappearance, his relatives and police say.

He has come under heavy scrutiny since investigators — and surprised family members — learned that he had lied about being accepted into medical school at the University of North Carolina.

Some of Lori Hacking's other co-workers at Wells Fargo also remembered seeing her in tears after getting a phone call that Friday. While Lori Hacking apparently did not describe the phone call to anyone, her co-workers recalled she had been inquiring about on-campus housing at the University of North Carolina.

Police denied reports, however, that authorities suspect a "rage killing" took place inside the Hackings' apartment hours before Lori Hacking was reported missing. A police source told ABC News the reports were plain "conjecture."

But authorities are also awaiting test results on a hair and a knife that were reportedly recovered last weekend from the Hacking apartment. An arrest warrant could follow the test results.

In addition, a convenience store clerk who may have been one of the last people to see Lori Hacking reportedly said today Mark Hacking appeared happy, but she did not.

According to the Deseret Morning News and from KSLNewsRadio, the unidentified clerk, who works at a store near Mark and LoriHacking's apartment, said the couple came in the night before she was reported missing.
