Have you been following this Gene Hackman case?
Let me see if I can sum it up.
It stinks.
There's something really fishy about this thing.
Something about this official narrative.
You know, surrounding the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy?
I don't know!
Doesn't add up!
It's rotten in Denmark, as the expression goes.
The timeline is shaky.
The details are inconsistent.
Are you following this?
And now a new revelation from a Santa Fe doctor, listen to this, who's raised even more disturbing questions about what really happened in the days Leading up to their deaths.
And by the way, you keep an eye on those two daughters.
Okay?
Not sure about the son, but the daughters?
But back to this.
If Betsy Hackman was supposed to have died from hantavirus on February the 11th, then why did she call a doctor's office the next day?
24 hours.
After she was supposedly dead!
Huh?
And that's not just an oversight.
It's a glaring contradiction that should make you say, huh?
Now, that also demands serious investigation.
Anybody talking about that?
Of course not.
Dr. Josiah Child, doesn't that sound like something from Josie Wales, from Dr. Josiah Child, who's a respected physician in Santa Fe, has confirmed That Mrs. Hackman personally contacted his clinic on February the 12th.
I don't even know how they figured out exactly when she died anyway, but on February the 12th, to inquire about an appointment.
And this wasn't some vague, you know, clerical error, nor was it a miscommunication.
The clinic had direct contact with her.
And she spoke to one of the doctors about scheduling a visit.
And yet, according to the official story, she was already dead at the time?
Come on!
How does that happen?
How does a dead woman make a phone call?
You want to look into this?
Somebody?
Anybody?
And even stranger, Dr. Child states that her appointment had nothing to do with any respiratory illness.
Hantavirus.
This rare and...
This uber-deadly disease that she was said to have succumbed to, that she had, causes severe, severe respiratory distress in its late stages.
It's a painful, protracted, hideous, agonizing decline.
Not an illness that kills people suddenly while they're out shopping or making phone calls.
If she truly had this virus...
Where were the warning signs?
Why didn't she exhibit any breathing difficulties during her last interaction with the doctors?
Why?
Why did she seem completely normal just days before her alleged death?
This case stinks!
And the story gets even murkier and murkier and weirder.
When you look at the way both Jean and Betsy Hackman were found, she was reportedly discovered on the bathroom floor surrounded by pills, an image that suggests something much darker than a simple viral infection.
Meanwhile, Jean was found just 20 feet away in another room, apparently having starved to death over the course of a week.
Think about that.
Jean Hackman, a man who had lived with his wife for decades, Supposedly just didn't notice she had died?
Didn't eat?
Didn't call for help?
His pacemaker records confirmed that he died on February the 18th, meaning he survived for at least a full week after Betsy's alleged death, but no one saw him?
No one heard from him?
Not a single phone call to check in on them?
Maybe, and nothing from the daughters?
And also...
Find out, listen to what the handyman or the caretaker says.
Nobody during the entire time?
That seems a little suspicious to me.
Seems almost impossible.
And let me also tell you something.
The first thing that you know that any law enforcement agency wants to do is to get rid of this case and shut it down and say...
It's closed.
We did everything we had to.
Nothing wrong here.
Nothing strange.
And then there's the matter of the third casualty in the house.
One of the dogs.
A family pet.
Left in a crate after surgery.
Also starved to death.
If Gene had simply been too disoriented to take care of himself, wouldn't he have still noticed the dog?
Wouldn't someone?
A friend?
A neighbor?
A delivery driver?
A daughter?
Somebody had realized something was wrong before an entire week had passed when he's, what, 95 years old with health problems?
How does an elderly man, and not just any elderly man, go completely unnoticed in his own home while his wife's death remains a mystery?
And the explanation offered by the officials is both unsatisfying, improbable, and I think the word is, Hantavirus is an extremely rare disease in the United States, with only a handful of confirmed cases in New Mexico each year.
Most patients who contract it require hospitalization due to the severe breathing difficulties that it causes.
For a supposedly healthy 65-year-old woman to simply drop dead?
From the virus in her own home?
Without even seeking medical help?
Leading up to that?
It's almost unheard of.
And yet, this is the official story.
And nobody's looking further.
Nobody's asking any questions.
Do I have to do all the work?
This sounds like 9-11 again.
Don't get me started with that.
Now look.
Even medical professionals who know what they're talking about are raising red flags.
One Los Angeles-based doctor has gone on record saying that the idea of an otherwise healthy woman dying suddenly from Hantavirus without prior symptoms It just doesn't happen that way.
Typically, respiratory failure from such a disease worsens over time, requiring emergency intervention.
But Betsy Hackman, a fitness-conscious woman, Who was seen out and about on the very day she supposedly died from this horrible disease showed none of the expected symptoms?
She wasn't struggling to breathe.
She wasn't bedridden.
She was out running errands, acting completely normal.
So what changed between her last public appearance and the moment she was found dead?
You tell me.
And let's not forget the other.
Potentially explosive detail, money.
Gene Hackman's estate is worth reportedly about $80 million, and the distribution of that fortune is now shrouded in secrecy.
While he had three children, his estate was tied up in a private trust, meaning that the details of who will inherit this vast wealth remain undisclosed.
Now, Could financial motives have played a role in this bizarre and deeply unsettling case?
Was someone trying to ensure that their claim to the Hackman estate remained uncontested?
Huh?
We also have the simultaneous death clause too, and then there was that 90-day provision which overrode that, the statutory version of it.
We also have the question of why law enforcement has been so quick to close the case!
Aren't they the same people with Alec Baldwin?
Weren't they the same ones?
Santa Fe, right?
Isn't it?
Same ones?
Oh, they're terrific.
Inspector Clouseau, paging Inspector Clouseau.
And despite glaring inconsistencies in the timeline, the Santa Fe medical examiner has doubled down on the hantavirus explanation.
Now, look, I'm no Quincy, but her body was mummified in a pool of...
You can tell this?
There's enough body tissue left to do a post-mortem evaluation and verify hantavirus?
The story is riddled with contradictions.
And the sheriff's office, too, seems content to let these unexplained discrepancies slide.
They're fine.
That in itself is troubling.
Why isn't anyone in law enforcement demanding answers?
Why does anybody care?
Why isn't there a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding their deaths?
Is it, what, incompetence?
Or is something being deliberately concealed?
I know, I know.
Conspiracy theory, right?
Is that what you're saying?
Say what you want.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
I'm a conspiracy analyst.
As the great Gore Vidal would say.
And let's go a step further.
Why aren't the media treating this story with the level of scrutiny it deserves?
This is an A-list Hollywood legend, one of the most respected actors of his generation.
And yet the inconsistencies in his and his wife's deaths are barely making waves, barely making a ripple outside of, you know, niche news outlets.
If this were any other celebrity, if this were a politician, a billionaire, or, well, maybe not.
I don't want to bring up Epstein, but that was a different story.
There would be round-the-clock speculation, calls for investigations, an intense public debate.
But for some reason, for some reason, Gene Hackman's death is being brushed under the rug.
Why?
What's going on here?
And then there's the sheer eeriness of it all.
A devoted couple, married for 34 years, both found dead under bizarre circumstances, with a dog left to die alongside them, a wife who was supposedly deceased, making a phone call from beyond the grave, a husband who lasted a week in total isolation before finally succumbing.
A fortune left in legal limbo.
A cause of death that defies medical logic.
And put all of this together.
And what you have isn't just a tragedy.
It's a mystery that reeks of something sinister.
It stinks!
Could this have been a case of foul play?
If so, who would benefit?
Qui bono?
Qui pro des?
Was someone trying to silence one or both of them?
Was this a cover-up?
Could Gene Hackman's declining health have made him an easy target for manipulation?
And why, why of all causes, would authorities land on something as rare and improbable as antivirus?
Was it some, I don't know, convenient way to explain an otherwise inexplicable situation?
Look.
Maybe it was a distraction from something darker.
We've got to answer these questions.
Right now, there are far more questions than answers.
And unless someone starts demanding the truth, this case may be quietly buried along with Gene Hackman and Betsy Hackman.
But the facts don't lie.
And neither does the timeline.
A dead woman shouldn't be making phone calls.
A Hollywood legend shouldn't be dying in complete isolation without anyone noticing him for a week.
And a rare rodent-born hideous virus causing an excruciating death shouldn't be used to explain away these very deeply suspicious circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Look, something is off.
Way off.
And until the real story comes to light, We shouldn't stop asking the hard questions.
So what do you think?
You know I'm right.
You know I'm 100% right.
What do you think about this?
What do you think?
What's your take?
Do me a favor.
First, like the video.
You know how that is.
