Mormon Will Probed Over Possible Forgery Links
Nevada Attorney General Office investigates whether the so called Mormon will was forged with help from documents. Melvin Dummar reportedly accessed a book about Hughes at a Utah college library and provided deposition material while Nevada authorities examine fingerprints on the book and a 1971 Life Magazine issue from Weber State College.
