I looked at how far his house is from Santa Fe, and it is not far at all.

New Mexico is a poor state.

Can you imagine what it would have meant to to a poor Hispanic family for them to have been paid $100K to drive to his house every day, check on them, and help for a couple of hours with housework and the pets.
100k...A year?

Nothing special having your star there anymore. Was there last year and left disappointed, all i saw were junkies and shit stains all over the street. What they portray on tv is not what it is.
Speaking of shit stains... does Trump have a star there too? Out in front of the Hyatt Muffler Shop? Or did someone try to dig it up or something? Or was it the organization tat dug it up when Trump refused to pay his bill?

Why not.

Plenty of analysis put his net worth at $80 million.


His kids apparently didn’t give a shit about him. They didn‘t seem to check in on him..

Why not try to help out your wife who is 30 years younger with her some duties and make sure someone finds the crated dog before it dies in case he and his wife die simultaneousl.

A common person can’t do that, but someone worth 80 million, or even 10 million sure can.

What would 100k be to him? It would be life-changing to the Hispanic personal assistant, too.

The media depicts these stars as the world’s finest people who should be mourned for weeks, but most seem to be assholes.

Taylor Swift deserves credit for widely sharing her tour earnings among her workers.

Decades from now, I will mourn her for weeks. Hackman and his wife, not so much.

Now what do you think the odds are of you and your wife dying as you said simultaneously?...You're going to plan for that?

We still don't know what happened here.

Yes, if you are worth 10 million or more you plan for everything.

Every will ever drafted for married couples has simultaneous death provisions.

Car wrecks involving couples happen all the time. And plane crashes.

For common people, maybe the dog tragically starves to death afterwards.

The ultra rich should consider these things, and should spread some of that damn money around to avoid tragedies from small possibilities.

If you got $80 million and your kids take little interest in your life, get a personal assistant or two in your daily life.

Hollywood has membership in the Democratic Party as a requirement and even highlights the McCarthy Investigations into Communist sympathizers.

But you look at the real lifestyles of most of them, and they don’t spread a dime of that money around. Hackman spent the last several decades of his life doing nothing but hoarding the money, and now his kids will inherit more than they can ever spend. Are they the world’s greatest people themselves? They don’t appear to be, given their lack of interest in their parent.

But when you turn the TV on, there are all these heartfelt eulogies about what a great guy he was.

So a 95 year old man wearing a pacemaker and his
65 year old wife living in a 10,000 square ft house on
retirement saving that could amount to as much as nearly 80
million valued their privacy so much that no one was
in contact with them 10 days after they died. They obviously
didn't need help with house cleaning, caring for 3 German Shepherd
dogs, groceries and other chores.

Many years ago I was living in a house where I would play with
the 1 year old GSD next door once in a while. The puppy was so
powerful I could get bruises when the wrestling got too rough.

From a recent photo taken of Hackman he was barely recognizable.
The 95 year old looked so fragile
it seem implausible he could look after himself let alone the house
and the dogs. His wife had to be a superwoman. But then how could
a women in excellent health and shape drop dead running
to fetch medication for her man?

I can only surmise that there could be a reason other than
privacy that led the couple to live in isolation.

Gene's wife Betsy Arakawa, a classical pianist, was very hot, back in the day:

per wikipedia, his first marriage was from 1956-86, to the mother of his son and two daughters. Gene dated Betsy for seven years before marrying her in 1991. That would include the last two years of his first marriage.

He wouldn't have been around much while his kids were growing up. Combine all of those factors, and it's perfectly understandable why the kids wouldn't have been very close to him when he was old.

Could be they never will arrest anyone.
I watched Billionaire Murders on Crave, and it seemed to me that Kevin Donovan implied that Jonathon Sherman (the son) was involved in some way. One of the daughters also had been quoted as saying she felt that her brother had some role in it. What the motive would be is unclear.

It's either the Toronto Police know who did it and really want to ensure they have their ducks in a row so they get a conviction at trial; or they are completely clueless and this is a cold case.

This trophy wife did alright. The night John was shot, she got her boyfriend of a couple of years to move into the apartment she shared with John. And got all the money. And lived to not tell the tale.
