The Nation : Killer Suspect Out on Bail
A Mormon documents dealer charged with murder in the bombing deaths of two persons was released from the Salt Lake City Jail after his family helped raise a $120,000 bond, authorities said. Mark W. Hofmann, 31, a dealer in rare documents often relating to the Mormon church, was charged last week with two counts of first-degree murder and 26 other counts, including fraud. Hofmann still uses crutches after being injured by a bomb that detonated in his car Oct. 16, a day after the blasts that killed stockbroker and documents collector Steven F. Christensen, 31, and Kathleen W. Sheets, 50, wife of Christensen’s former business associate, J. Gary Sheets.
