Cops investigating Gene Hackman and his wife’s mysterious deaths have admitted to misidentifying the dog that was found deceased with them.
Hackman, 95, and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 63, were both found dead in the $3.8 million home in separate rooms by a caretaker around 1.45pm in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Wednesday.
Police initially said the couple’s German Shepherd Bear was found deceased in its kennel inside the home, but the pup was actually alive and healthy at a pet day care center in Santa Fe along with their other dog Nikita, a seven-year-old Akita-shepherd mix, according to USA Today.
The dog that was actually found dead in the home with the couple was Zinna, their 12-year-old reddish Australian Kelpie mixed breed.
This is a breaking news story. Updates to come.
