Hello everyone and welcome to police off the cuff real crime stories.

I'm your host, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD.

You know, this is the fourth day after the bodies of screen actor Gene Hackman

and his wife, Betsy, were discovered inside their Santa Fe, New Mexico home.

And not a lot of answers for everyone.

Of course, in this world we live,

and everyone wants immediate gratification,

wants no immediate to who, what, where, how, and why.

And unfortunately, in this case,

it's a little more complicated than that and we talk about

the manner of death and that's always what it comes down to homicide suicide accidental natural

or undetermined and right now this is undetermined. And right now, this is undetermined, pending toxicology, and pending

all of the information that the scientists that investigate these cases after they're taken

out of the hands of detectives

and handed to the professionals in a different field,

the field of toxicology and the field of pathology.

And hopefully those fields, those scientists,

can give us the answers to this case but until then we have to just

use our heads and listen and wait patiently hopefully wait patiently because no one these days

wants to be patient everyone wants to know the answers and what we do know is and just last night

i went and re-watched this movie from 1971, the French connection with Gene Hackman. And that's how I will always remember

Gene Hackman. And just the, even watching that movie from 1971, I was amazed to see that it wasn't dated.
