Gene Hackman’s Daughter Elizabeth Jean Hackman Speaks Out After Death of Actor, Wife and Dog
The investigation into Gene Hackman’s death is facing some hurdles.

“We’re trying to put things together, put together a timeline—when the decedents were last seen and were spoken to,” he told Savannah Guthrie on Today Feb. 28. “We understand that is a challenge because they were very private individuals and a private family. We’re trying to put all that information together right now.”
