Bombing victims linked to old Mormon letter ruckus
SALT LAKE CITY AP A 155 year old letter known as the Salamander Letter ties to the bombing deaths of two people in Utah investigators say. Steven F. Christensen 31 and Kathy Sheets 50 were killed Tuesday. Police suspect a second bomb aimed at Sheets husband Gary F. Sheets. Both men were Mormon bishops involved in evaluating the authenticity of Harris 1830 letter. Investigators focus on business ties to CFS Financial Services while the letter fuels criticism of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon origin.
