From Utah State University to Utah State Prison: The Rise and Fall of Mark Hofmann, Forger and Bomber
The Friends of the Merrill-Cazier Library present "From Utah State University to Utah State Prison: The Rise and Fall of Mark Hofmann, Forger and Bomber with Richard E. Turley Jr." In 1980, Mark Hofmann was an obscure student at USU. One morning that year, he walked into the University Library with a discovery that helped catapult him to fame as a document dealer. Over the next five years, his document discoveries expanded from those related to Latter-day Saint and Utah history to stunning pieces of Americana. Then in October 1985, three bombs went off in the Salt Lake Valley, the first fatally injuring a businessman who was a Hofmann client, the second killing the wife of the businessman's associate, and the third nearly killing Hofmann himself. The ensuing investigation proved that Hofmann was the serial bomber and that virtually all of his key discoveries were forgeries. This lecture, presented by Richard E. Turley Jr., will discuss the story that inspired Netflix's Murder Among the Mormons documentary.
