Think he's going for an insanity plea?

Father: Hacking 'Snapped' and Killed Wife

SALT LAKE CITY - Mark Hacking \"just snapped\" and killed his pregnant wife after she learned he had been lying for years about his education and career plans, his father declared Thursday.

\"I think it's clear that this whole house of cards he had built, all this deception, had come to an end. He had been found out. His wife discovered his deception and confronted him with it, and I just think he just saw his whole world collapsing and broke down,\" the father, Douglas Hacking, told The Associated Press.


\"He just snapped, and did something there's no explanation for. That's the only way I can envision it,\" he said.


Hacking said he based his belief in part on reports that Lori Hacking, 27, left work stunned and sobbing on July 16, three days before her husband, a 28-year-old hospital orderly, reported her missing. Colleagues at the brokerage firm where she worked told the AP they believe an administrator at a North Carolina medical school had called her back to say Mark Hacking wasn't enrolled there.

I was wrong about the reliable citizen witness though.
