SANTA FE, N.M. — Hollywood icon Randy Quaid is sounding the alarm, claiming Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were murdered—lending explosive support to our exclusive reporting that the couple was silenced to protect the Epstein client list.
The 74-year-old actor’s accusations come days after the 95-year-old Oscar winner and his 63-year-old wife were found dead in their $3.8 million Santa Fe home on Wednesday.

A caretaker discovered the bodies in separate rooms around 1:45 p.m., authorities said. No official cause of death has been released, and police insist there’s no sign of foul play. But Quaid isn’t convinced.
On Saturday, he took to X, declaring, “Gene Hackman and his wife are murder victims, some scum bags did it and staged it.” He slammed media focus on Hackman’s film legacy, adding,

Quaid’s claims echo our investigation exposing a potential link between the deaths and the Epstein list, a roster of powerful figures shrouded in secrecy. “Fake News starts generating film clips,” he wrote, before dropping a bombshell: “How is it possible I know at least 6 people who have died like Carradine, Hackman, Ledger?”
He’s referencing Heath Ledger, dead at 28 in 2008 supposedly from a prescription drug overdose, and David Carradine, found hanged in Bangkok in 2009—a death ruled accidental.
The National Lampoon’s Vacation star didn’t stop there. “I should become a special FBI agent to these investigations of Hollywood Murders!” he tweeted, teasing, “I already have some good leads on who killed Gene Hackman.” He offered no specifics, but his words align with our sources pointing to a cover-up tied to Epstein’s elite circle.
Quaid’s theory isn’t new. In a 2011 Vanity Fair profile, he and wife Evi dubbed the culprits the “Hollywood Star Whackers,” alleging they targeted Ledger, Carradine, and others like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, while framing Robert Blake for his wife’s murder. Living in a Toyota Prius at the time, Evi told journalist Nancy Jo Sales they only stayed in the car “on nights when we’re too terrified to leave our stuff.”
With Hackman and Arakawa’s deaths, Quaid’s once-fringe rants are gaining traction—bolstering our reporting that Hollywood’s darkest secrets may have claimed two more lives.
