Shortly after 8 a.m. on October 15, 1985, a package sent to rare Mormon document collector and stockbroker Steve Christensen exploded at his workplace in Salt Lake City. Christensen, 31, was killed instantly, and as the news spread, Utah’s Latter-day Saints community was shocked and fearful about the unprecedented and inexplicable act of violence. Only three hours later a second bomb exploded and killed 50-year-old Kathy Sheets, the wife of Christensen’s former employer, at her home. The sense of panic in the community deepened. The
third bomb went off the following day in the car of Mark Hofmann’s car, a 31-year-old rare Mormon document dealer. Before Steve Christensen’s death the previous day, Hofmann had been scheduled to meet with him about the sale of a new rare collection to the Mormon church. Netflix’s
