The bombings killed two people and severely injured Mark Hofmann, “a renowned collector of rare documents, including the infamous White Salamander Letter an artifact whose contents threatened to shake the very foundations of Mormonism.”

The Utah Department of Corrections officials confirmed last week the first coronavirus outbreak to occur in female housing at the state prison since the beginning of the pandemic.
The outbreak at the Timpanogos facility in Draper has affected “several” women, who started experiencing symptoms early last week. They then received rapid tests for COVID-19, which came back positive, officials say.
Corrections officials didn’t release the exact number of women who have tested positive, nor does the state prison’s COVID-19 dashboard separate cases by gender.
The positive tests meant that two sectors of housing at the facility, Timpanogos 1 and Timpanogos 2, were put into quarantine; though only Timpanogos 2 was considered by the state to have a confirmed outbreak. Large-scale testing of residents also began in the Timpanogos sites, the results of which have yet to be reported by corrections officials.
