New Evidence Alters Death Timeline
Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza disclosed on “Good Morning America” that the estimated date of Betsy Arakawa’s death has been changed from February 11 to February 12. This update follows the revelation that Arakawa’s doctor received a phone call from her on February 12, a day later than previously believed.
