In 1985, Salt Lake City, Utah was rocked by back-to-back violent explosions that left two people dead. And when a third explosion left an unassuming member of the Latter-Day Saints fighting for his life, the police discovered the evidence they needed to piece together the mystery that brought the LDS community into the national spotlight in a way it had never been before – or since.

Netflix offers up a new series that is sure to satisfy viewers insatiable appetite for true crime mysteries. Murder Among The Mormons is a three-part docuseries that tracks circumstances leading up to the murder of two people and the investigation that eventually led to the arrest of the criminal mind behind the plot.

Producers, Tyler Measom and Jared Hess, spent years interviewing the extensive and interesting cast of characters that were key players in this unlikely mystery involving the extensive world of rare documents and the leadership of the Church of the Latter-Day Saints. In the end, they present us with an intriguing and nearly unbelievable tale of a forger that was skilled enough to dupe the world’s leading investigators.

Mark Hofman developed an interest in treasure hunting and rare books and documents at a young age. One lucky find led to another and he soon became a reputable dealer in historic documents. His knack for locating authentic ‘missing’ documents and rare journals, specifically ones that pertain to the history of the Mormon church, the religious tradition in which he was raised, helped him rise in wealth and influence. But his pride is what eventually led to a tangled web of business deals that threatened to bring down his whole house of cards.

The series presents interviews with more than a dozen people connected to The Church, Hofman’s business dealing and investigators. They spin a vivid tale of a religious tradition threatened by hidden truths and a community of dedicated followers ready to go to great lengths to protect their beloved faith and one manipulative yet gifted man who crafted the faith’s demise to perfection.

This series is fascinating, both because of the crime and because of the revealed world of rare documents and in depth look at a religious sect that generally keeps their inner workings very private. The research for this docu-series is thorough and well done. The interviews with Shannon Flynn, in particular, are interesting and compelling.

Tune in to Murder Among The Mormons to dive deep into an unusual true crime tale that you aren’t soon to forget.
