According to the 911 call, which you can listen to for yourself below, the caretaker that made the 911 call specifically said:
Yes. Burns at points of contact, entrance and exit burns.
Yes, this scenario of Hackman having a medical problem and Betsy running to get some meds for him now seems the most likely one IMO. And it caused her to have a medical episode as well, or an accident, so she herself died as well. I think the results of the autopsy will be pushed to come out early, being as already the carbon monoxide results were released. For right or wrong, because of public interest and Gene Hackman's high profile. It is kind of ironic really, sounds like he and his wife wanted to lead a quiet and private life, and now that they are gone, they are in public media everywhere for not only their accomplishments, but due to their unusual last moments.
My first thought - and I hope I'm wrong - possibly his biological kids getting an inheritance. Since Gene's 2nd wife is 31 years younger than Gene, it's possible Gene's biological kids (who are from his first marriage) are all older than his 2nd wife. When both Gene and Betsy (2nd wife) are deceased at the same time, most likely the inheritance will go straight to his 3 kids. Gene made a lot of movies, his home in NM was worth 3.8 million, and he even owned a small island off the coast of Washington (per the Daily Mail)! Those are some nice assets! I'm reminded of this case in NJ Woman accused of killing dad in NJ home was cut from will, documents show where the daughter was cut out of the will: the only way she could receive inheritance was if the stepmom was out of the picture.
Lots of possible motives. We don't know anything about his business arrangements and who might benefit from his death. You need to watch some more movies like Michael Clayton etc.
. I'm liking the pesticide/fumigation possibility as well so I guess we'll have to see what comes from the autopsy.Well, I would think there were a few doors at and near the front of the house, so this caretaker maybe went to one that was locked, one he usually used. Plus it looks like there are many windows, and due to the angle of one, he could see the bodies.
He lived in a gated compound which had cctv everywhere and was patrolled by security, he also had German Shepherds, I cant see how anyone with bad intentions could have evaded the dogs, the cctv, the security etc to get into his house and make a double murder look like something else, just dont see it
In 2001 he was interviewed on Inside the Actors Studio, he was 65 -ish. He becomes emotional recalling his dad leaving and watching him drive away, out of his life, as a young boy. He says something about it still hurting after 65 years. I didn’t realize he did his last movie in ‘04 then retired from acting. imo
The 2 surviving dogs are the elephant in the room for me re any possible foul play, if they were killed by anyone it will have to have been by someone well known to Gene who the dogs trust, plus someone who knows the layout of the cctv cameras and the hours of the security guardLots of possible motives. We don't know anything about his business arrangements and who might benefit from his death. You need to watch some more movies like Michael Clayton etc.
A house that size must have more than one outside entrance door, though.
Here is the inconsistencies.....The Deputies stated that the door was not locked. Based on the size of the house how does one find the correct window to see inside and find someone lying on the floor?
A double murder without leaving any signs of injury to either body, I might add.
To play devil's advocate: we don't know what evidence the police have though. It's possible they have CCTV footage, and are not sharing it with the public.
Agreed and that affidavit that’s been released is not everything they have, it usually never is. imo
Yes. There seem to be a lot of verandas too, or porches I think they call them. Every one of those would have a door to the interior.
The 911 call is not as reliably factual as a statement by LE.
