Dangerous History: Mark Hofmann and Murder among the Mormons

Since its release in February 2021, Murder among the Mormons has been one of the most popular titles on Netflix. The true crime documentary recounts the story of Mark Hofmann, one of the most infamous forgers in modern history, whose web of lies eventually led to the murders of two innocent people. On this episode of “The Foyer,” host Patrick Mason will be joined by filmmaker Jared Hess, co-director of Murder among the Mormons, and historian Rick Turley, author of Victims: The LDS Church and the Mark Hofmann Case, to talk about the Hofmann forgeries, the documentary, and what it all means for Mormonism then and now.
