In 1985, a trio of bombings in Salt Lake City killed two people. The bombings sent shockwaves being sent through the Mormon community when a trove of early Mormon letters and diaries were found in the vehicle of the third victim, who was a renowned collector of rare documents.

One of those documents was the infamous “White Salamander” letter, which threatened to shake the very foundation of Mormonism forever.
