The wife of Gene Hackman had expressed concern that a mysterious man followed her in the months before their tragic death.
In newly released Bodycam images, Betsy Arakawa's hairdresser Christopher said she was 'Frazzled' when she revealed two separate incidents that took place in December.
The bodies of Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 65, were found tragically in their house in Santa Fe on 26 February.
It later appeared that the star had died of heart disease and Alzheimer's a week after Arakawa, who was his caregiver, succumbed to Hantavirus.
But Christopher told law enforcement that the couple were worried about following only two months before their death.
“She told me that there was a man who had parked outside their gate and followed them,” he said, in images obtained by Fox.
'On two different occasions. An opportunity is when they went to White Rock. They went there lunch and the man followed them parked [outside of their gated community]Follow them all the way to White Rock. '
Arakawa told Christopher that she was surprised that security did not know how he got there. '

Mrs. Hackman, a Pilates-loving 'Fitness fanatic', was ruled to have died of Hantavirus, which is contracted by inhaling rat or mouse facts (shown: Hackman and Arakawa in New Mexico in March 2024)
“When we left, I noticed that this car had followed us from the house to White Rock,” she revealed.
Christopher said that Arakawa revealed that the man had a folder full of photos of Hackman and wanted him to sign them.
“She approached him and said,” “I told him he should have more respect,” Christopher recalled.
But the same man later returned on another day and followed the couple to a separate location.
In that incident he tried to offer them a bottle of wine, but they refused.
Christopher said that the test of Arakawa was 'crazy'.
“I said:” Oh my God, Betsy, that's crazy. You should not have approached this person. This makes me nervous. “He knew what [they] Reed. That is the scary part. '
The police believe that the deceased actor died of serious heart conditions around 18 February, with the advanced Alzheimer's disease as a 'significant' contributing factor.
The Hollywood legend, 95, was at Betsy Arakawa (depicted in 2003), more than 30 years his junior, since 1991
Officials of the New Mexico Medical Investigator Office said that Arakawa died for a week for Hackman of the Hantavirus Long syndrome, a serious respiratory disease caused by contact with infected rodents.
The couple was discovered that they are dead in separate rooms of their house.
Hackman was found at the entrance of the house and Arakawa was found in a bathroom.
Researchers initially ruled the dead as suspicious, but noted that there were no signs of forced access or something in disorder.
The bodies were discovered in a state of partial mummification in their $ 3.3 million mansion.
A fan had fallen near Arakawa, which was also surrounded by a scattering of recipe pills that suggested a fall for researchers.
A court in New Mexico gave a temporary house ban last week against the release of photos and video with Hackman and his wife the inside of their house.
The Hackman estate had submitted the petition to keep images, with reference to the need to protect the constitutional right of the family on privacy in grief under the 14th amendment.
Another legal battle could be on the horizon while the children of Hackman are waiting to learn the details of their father's last wishes.
