Footage shows inside Gene Hackman, Betsy Arakawa’s home
Footage released in April showed the inside of Hackman and Arakawa’s home when they were found. Arakawa was found in the bathroom, while Hackman was found in the kitchen. Medical investigators believe they died about one week apart.
In the footage, you can hear deputies wondering if there is a potential gas leak. “It smells like gas. You smell gas?” one deputy said. New Mexico Gas later found that there was only a small gas leak, which wouldn’t have been enough to be a factor.
This footage came after the first round was released at the end of March. However, that first footage only showed the outside of the home.
