Investigation reveals shocking details in Gene Hackman and Betsy Hackman's deaths

In Santa Fe, New Mexico, the investigation into the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa Hackman, has raised numerous questions and concerns. Betsy was initially believed to have died on February 11, but new evidence suggests she was active on her cellphone as late as February 12, which has prompted investigators to reassess the timeline of her death. The Santa Fe Sheriff's Department has confirmed that Betsy called Cloudberry Health medical center on the morning of February 12, stating that she wanted to take care of her ill husband. This revelation has led to discussions regarding the accuracy of the initial determination of her cause of death. Experts, including former FBI investigator Bill Daly, noted that difficulties in extracting data from Betsy's phone might have contributed to misjudgments about the timeline. The phone's analytics could have provided crucial information about her movements and activities leading up to her death. Reports indicate that she had been diagnosed with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a serious respiratory disease, which suggests an aggressive progression of her illness that she may not have recognized until it was too late. Additionally, bodycam footage from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department has surfaced, shedding light on the circumstances of their deaths. In one video, a deputy converses with Gene's daughter, Elizabeth, about the remains of the couple's dog, Zinna, who was also discovered deceased in their home. This footage is part of a larger collection that has faced legal scrutiny due to a lawsuit from the Hackman estate aimed at preventing the release of additional investigation details, including the autopsy results. As the investigation continues, it has become clear that both Gene, who likely died about a week after Betsy, and Betsy faced serious health challenges. Medical professionals involved in the case have expressed concern about the lack of understanding of Betsy's health condition, particularly how she did not realize she was suffering from severe symptoms related to the hantavirus infection. The interplay between these medical factors, the investigation timeline, and the family's privacy rights creates an intricate web of issues that could influence public and legal perceptions of the case moving forward.
