A couple think a convicted felon working at a Utah fertility clinic knowingly used his own ***** to father their daughter — and possibly other Utahns.
According to genealogist CeCe Moore, a 21-year-old woman recently learned that her biological father was not the man who raised her — as both she and he had thought *— but an employee at Midvale’s Reproductive Medical Technology Inc.
The RMTI employee was also a part-time employee of the University of Utah from 1988 to 1993 and has been dead since 1999, according to a statement from the U., which contracted with RMTI and has been investigating the claim since April. Located at 1121 E. 3900 South, RMTI closed in February 1998 and was part-owned by three U. staff and faculty members.
Through DNA testing, the family concluded that the biological father of the 21-year-old woman is Thomas R. Lippert — whose widow confirmed that he worked for RMTI for nine years until its closure and spent two years in prison after pleading to reduced charges in the kidnapping of a female college student in 1974 (see box).
The family wishes to remain anonymous at this time. The 21-year-old’s mother told Tribune news-gathering partner KUTV that she recalls baby pictures — supposed artificial insemination success stories — prominently displayed at Lippert’s desk.
"He was very proud of all those pictures," she said. At the time, that made her feel confident. Now she fears that he switched his own sperm sample with her husband’s, and that the photos she saw were of Lippert’s other unwitting biological children.
