Gene Hackman’s kids to be interrogated by cops as mystery thickens on actor and wife’s death

The late Hollywood actor Gene Hackman’s children are about to enter the dingy settings of the interrogation room. Cops are set to quiz Gene Hackman’s three children as they try to discover the actor and his wife’s last movements. The star is survived by the three children he had with his ex-wife, Faye Maltese, Christopher, 65, Elizabeth, 63, and Leslie, 58.

Elizabeth and Leslie were photographed looking sombre a day after the couple’s bodies were discovered, as Leslie revealed she hadn’t spoken to her dad in months.  Police have confirmed they are speaking to “family members” as they try to piece together Gene and his wife Betsy’s final days.  The pair were found dead in separate rooms of their New Mexico home earlier this week. 

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza, who gave a press  conference on Friday, said that it had been a “challenge” so far to determine the last people the couple spoke to. It was previously suggested that the maintenance workers may have spoken to the couple last. But it’s now not clear if this was the case or not. Daughter Leslie, 58, has previously said that she hadn’t been in contact with her dad for a while.
