According to a search warrant, obtained by TMZ, a Santa Fe detective who sought a search warrant wrote in his affidavit, he believes "the death of the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation because the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened, deputies observed a healthy dog running loose on the property, another healthy dog near the deceased female, a deceased dog laying 10-15 feet from the deceased female in a closet of the bathroom, the heater being moved, the pill bottle being opened and pills scattered next to the female, the male decedent being located in a separate room of the residence, and no obvious signs of a gas leak."

Gene's wife, Betsy, was found in the bathroom on the ground near the countertop, laying on her right side. The deputy saw a black space heater near her head. The deputy believed the heater could have fallen in the event Betsy abruptly fell to the ground.

The deputy also noticed an orange prescription bottle on the countertop, which was open with pills scattered on the countertop. It appears the she had been dead for some time, because the body was in a state of decomposition with bloating in her face and mummification in her hands and

Gene was found in a separate room off the kitchen. He was fully clothed and suspected he may have suddenly fallen, because his sunglasses were found next to his body.

The fire department came and advised they did not see any signs of carbon monoxide leak or poisoning.

Sad but interesting.

On the face of it, natural, suicide or homicide are still much in play.

If a caregiver dies suddenly, as from a heart attack, the person in their care may be too infirm (or medicated) to assist them or even discover them. But that doesn’t explain one dead dog, one not.
Intruders can’t be ruled out, but this just doesn’t sound like a home invasion.
A lot depends on the pill contents.

Looks like the 95-year-old may have committed suicide with his wife.

Sad if true.

If the pills were found by the female, that could be suicide with Hackman’s death being natural.

Why is the dog dead, however?

“But that doesn’t explain one dead dog”

Dog ate spilled pills?

I’ll ask the obvious question: did he have anything on the Clintons?

If either is true, that’d be horrible.

A dead dog locked in a bathroom closet with another living dog in the room does not fit too well with suicide.

Autopsies of the people and the dog need to be performed.

Of the dog died of natural causes due to being locked up without food or water, while the people were decomposing, then it suggests murder. This would be where the dog could have been aggressive to the murderer and had to be locked up.

If the cops sort this out to be a murder, then we know darned well the lying media will claim a deranged MAGA white male did it. The narrative is already written, all the media maggots need are some details from authorities so they can be edited to fit the narrative.

His daughter is suspecting gas. It hasn’t been ruled out (even by most journalists).
