Vector S01 - Ep. 3: The Hackman Coincidence

from Vector

Vector reports from Santa Fe, where Betsy Arakawa died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome around February 12, 2025, and her husband Gene Hackman died eight days later of cardiovascular disease, with advanced Alzheimer's as a significant contributory factor. We walk through Arakawa's last days using her computer's search history and email records, the property's post-discovery environmental assessment, the clinical structure of HPS, and the question her death raised: how often does this disease go undiagnosed in the United States.
