Volunteers are wanted in the search for a pregnant jogger from Salt Lake City who went missing Monday morning.
Lori Kay Hacking went jogging in Salt Lake''s Memory Grove Park and City Creek Canyon at 5:30 a.m. When she didn''t show up for work at Wells Fargo Bank, her husband Mark Hacking called police at 10:49 a.m. to report her disappearance, Detective Dwayne Baird said.
Police started to search for Hacking at 11 a.m. because of suspicious circumstances. Her car was found at the front gates of the park, but Hacking was nowhere to be found.
According to the Salt Lake City Police Department Web site, Hacking is 27 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. She has hazel eyes and curly brown hair, and she was last seen at approximately 6:00 a.m. Monday morning wearing a gray sports bra.
The Hackings found out Thursday that Lori is five weeks pregnant.
Families, friends, co-workers and authorities explored the park and canyon Monday along with police dogs, helicopters and searchers on horseback. Families and friends passed fliers out around their neighborhood.
About 700 volunteers showed up early Tuesday morning to search for Hacking.
'It really blows me out of the water to see how many people care and are willing to give so much of themselves,' Mark Hacking told The Associated Press.
The park and canyon have been closed off to everyone but searchers, Baird said.
The disappearance has prompted police authorities to speak on safety while exercising. Detective Kevin Joiner of the Salt Lake City Police Department said people should always tell others where they will be and exercise with a partner.
Lori Hacking started running with her husband; they have completed a 10k together.
Mark Hacking works the night shift at inpatient psychiatry. He is usually asleep when his wife goes running.
Douglass Hacking, Lori Hacking''s father-in-law, said the couple planned to move to Chapel Hill, N.C., where Mark Hacking will begin medical school next week. Mark Hacking is graduating from the University of Utah with a degree in psychology. He has been an orderly at a hospital for several years.
Mark Hacking said he was grateful to everyone that turned out for the search.
Douglass Hacking asked people going on camping trips this weekend to be on the look out and report anything suspicious.
