Addiction, mental illness and the other things in that radius do not discriminate. Kids can grow up in the same household and have the same experiences and turn out completely different. Nature vs. nurture? I say its mostly nature. MOO.

I never thought of that angle, but that could definitely be the case. According to the article, he appeared to be on something but did not show any indication of a struggle much less a murder. "..The troubled drug addict seemed “tweaked out” when he checked in, eyewitnesses told the outlet —...

I feel like it shows how erratic he was. Drug use - particularly meth - can cause paranoia which would explain the bed sheet over the windows. But, honestly, after murdering his parents and leaving the scene he had a right to be paranoid. He may not have had a plan, per se, but maybe panicked...

Not only that but asks his family to pray for his victims. Just bizarre. I wish, if these people are determined to leave this world that they would just do it without targeting innocent people.

I am wondering what information made them name the suspect. Did a family member name him? Were there threats made that made them suspect? According to this article from NBC News, the sister-in-law of the grandmother didn't suspect anything. "Yes, he was close to our family,” the post says...

I noticed in the obituary that it lists Austin as Cortney's sister's husband. I know that you can write whatever you want in an obituary but just found that interesting as they aren't married that I am aware of.

Oh I LOVE that! That's a great benefit. Thank you. I was confused on the order of events.

I agree with this. Lesson learned on this - make provisions for pets and pet care in your will.

I was under the impression that that appointment was for Gene and then she called on the 12th for her own appointment. MOO. In other news, Bear and Akita - the surviving dogs, have found new homes - one out of state and one local. Signed off by the estate lawyer...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/hackman-and-betsy-arakawa-s-dog-likely-died-of-dehydration-and-starvation-report-says/ar-AA1AWkZs <modsnip>...this links to an AP article. What we all kind of suspected with poor Zina.

Yup. Hence why I put: I’m also not sure how much stock we can put into the ‘facts’ put into this article - it’s more of assuming some things but presenting them as facts.

From the USA Today article and BBM : “..Security cameras captured Arakawa’s image during her visit to the pharmacy on Feb. 11, the last day she is believed to have been alive. The longtime wife and main caregiver of actor Gene Hackman, Arakawa had busied herself with errands that day: sending...

Some people write into their wills that if order of death can not be established that it is assumed that such and such predeceased the other.

Agree with this. Gene and Betsy both led private lives for many, many years and it seems that Betsy was trying her hardest to keep it that way during Gene’s health decline. MOO. They’ve already lost so much of that privacy due to the nature of their sad deaths - I see no reason to degrade...

I agree. I think they worked together well to make sure all the i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed as best they could be. Even if they were not a wealthy and famous couple the original, presenting circumstances of the deaths were odd. I think the officials took every effort to be thorough -...
