Cheryl Maher, woman in Utah hot tub scandal, killed in N.H. murder-suicide

(CBS/WBZ/AP) SALT LAKE CITY - The woman found dead in New Hampshire in an apparent murder-suicide, was reportedly Cheryl Maher, who was previously at the center of a Utah political scandal. 

Maher's claim that she hot-tubbed naked as a teenager with a state lawmaker later led to the House member's resignation.

According to CBS station WBZ, New Hampshire authorities say police found the bodies of a man and woman in a Weare, N.H. home. They say it appeared the man killed the woman.

Authorities have not released the names of the victims, but Maher's father, Richard, confirms his daughter was killed.

Last year, Kevin Garn resigned as Utah's House majority leader after admitting he paid Maher $150,000 to keep quiet about the hot-tubbing incident that took place a quarter century earlier when she was just a teenager.
