Gene Hackman’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, made phone calls to a medical center on the morning after the day officials first identified she was believed to have died -- throwing a wrench into the timeline of both their deaths.

00:00Well, the investigation into Jean Hackman's death

00:02was not complete, even though the Sheriff's Department

00:05in Santa Fe said that they believed

00:07she died on February 11th and that he died a week later.

00:10That was based upon evidence.

00:12Where she had been, surveillance cameras.

00:14And the autopsy.

00:14But they said that we're still looking at her cell phone

00:19records to see if she placed any calls,

00:22but they said she probably did die on February 11th.

00:24Right.

00:25Turns out, not true.

00:26No, because they got the phone records back

00:29and found out that Betsy made three phone calls on February

00:3412th to a local medical center.

00:37Although, they say she was not calling in distress.

00:42And it was not apparently about the Hantavirus.

00:45No, it was not about Hantavirus, which she contracted.

00:47People at the medical center said

00:49that she was calling about an appointment,

00:51a future appointment.

00:53Which is kind of weird, because if she died from Hantavirus

00:56and was that ill, why wouldn't she have mentioned it?

00:59Why wouldn't she have mentioned it to the medical office

01:02with three phone calls?

01:03So that's part of this mystery.

01:05Yeah.

01:06It's very strange, right?

01:07The three outgoing calls, she might not

01:09have known the extent of how the sickness was progressing.

01:13Maybe she wanted to remain calm.

01:14What's most telling to me, however,

01:16is that there was one missed call in the other direction,

01:19from the medical operation.

01:20Incoming call to her phone.

01:21Incoming call to her.

01:22And that might indicate that maybe she

01:24was OK during the three calls out,

01:26but then may have passed out on that day.

01:29So it's possible that she died on the 12th.

01:31Stevie Derrick, Indianapolis, Indiana.

01:34I think this entire situation is really strange.

01:36And I really hope that the investigators

01:38dig a little deeper into what that phone call and phone

01:41calls from her would have been.

01:42And what really happened behind this.

01:44Because it's so strange to hear that she made a phone call,

01:47but didn't really tell what happened

01:50or what was going on with her.

01:51It's really, really strange.

01:53The other thing that's odd is, at whatever

01:55the medical center is, that his death was so high profile.

01:59And when they held that news conference,

02:01and they were talking about February 11th,

02:03you would think they would have called and said, hey,

02:05we got calls on the 12th.

02:07Yeah, that they would call the sheriff.

02:08Right.

02:09Right.

02:10Right, it's just odd.
