Forty years ago, two people were killed in two separate pipe bomb explosions in Salt Lake City. The next day, Mark Hofmann was injured by a similar bomb inside his car. Police discovered the bombings were related to Hofmann and the most notorious forgery case in Utah’s history.

Crazy rollover crash involving a semi that caught fire--exclusive @KSL5TV video. This is just outside of Park City. Police say the driver is OK. They took a turn too quick and rolled. Some type of peroxide made it difficult, and messy to clean up.

Tonight, after an extensive neighborhood search, officers located an aggressive turkey holed up on an utility line. We called in our resident ornithologist to effectively communicate with gobbles. Boris agreed to stop chasing cars & people for the night. #SLC #SaltLakeCity #SLCPD

Can you help me identify these two retail theft suspects? Call 801-298-6000, reference case 22-504. It seems to be a common theme to comment on the appearance of suspects, or to label them with less than flattering terms. Neither of which help us solve the case… 👮🏽♂️🐻
