A high-end prostitute injected lethal doses of heroin into a former Google executive before thoughtlessly stepping over his body, downing a final sip of wine and then leaving him to die about his yacht.
Surveillance footage captured from the boat shows 51-year old Forrest Timothy Hayes losing consciousness.
The suspect, Alix Catherine Tichelman, makes no effort to help Hayes and instead collects her belongings and even finishes a glass of wine before leaving.
“The video also shows Tichelman stepping over the victim’s body several times as she is gathering her belongings,” according to a police statement. “At one point, she steps over the body to finish a glass of wine. Finally, she leaves the boat and reaches back in to lower a blind and conceal the victim’s body from outside view.”
Hayes was an executive with Google X, the tech giant’s experimental lab. Google X focused on the company’s “moonshot” projects such as Google Glass and driverless cars.
Hayes was a divorced father-of-five and his body was discovered on his 50-foot yacht, Escape, the next day on Nov. 23 at the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor.
Tichelman, 26, who is from Georgia, was taken into custody last week after being lured back to Santa Cruz County in a prostitution sting.
She appeared in court in Santa Cruz on Wednesday morning in handcuffs and a red jumpsuit and was charged with manslaughter. She is also charged with administering heroin and possessing heroin.
Police say Tichelman provided heroin for Hayes and the pair met through a sugar daddy website, SeekingArrangement.com.
On her Facebook page, Tichelman describes herself as a model and make-up artist, and her social media posts include poems about heroin and her love of TV serial killer Dexter.
In an interview with Fixe Fetish magazine, Tichelman said, “I have always been attracted to the darker side. My parents said by the time I was three, I was an intense child, and already liked horror movies.”
On her Facebook page she talks about plans to move to Atlanta, her love of concealed handguns, and on June 28th writes: “It’s really nice to talk with someone about killing sprees and murdering people in cold blood … they love it too. No judgement. Yay! F*** all that positivity bulls**t. Take a look around you. Life is hard and then you die.”
Damn, she’s got that demonic look, dude picked a demon from hell
Yeah, that’s supposed to be a high end prostitute. Would hate to see the cheap ones…
LMAO!! Dittos Laura…but from the head down she looked pretty damn good according to pic. 🙂
He got exactly what he Deserved…
Yes they are leaving him out of all this…like poor dude..hmmm Money gets to hind what he was ablut.
Christina, Exactly right!
It was a DIVORSED dude that had FIVE kids. He hired a prostitute. Maybe he partied. But for you two to sit here and say the man DESERVED to die. That’s fucked up. Okay the dude made some bad choices, but death??? Really???
Yeah, google exec, who gives a shit.
Why did he deserve to die? Be careful that your own words don’t snare you. She should get the death penalty. Not doing anything to help. Pulling the blind down to conceal the body. She can join Satan and the two can compare notes. You can see this was done to hide what happened.
A manslaughter charge/conviction will not catch a death penalty.
It’s amazing your whole article talks about her her love for guns and so-called love for guns you always got to put that in there! You don’t talk about how can a man who has all that success and all that wealth in a 50-ft yacht f**** with heroin! Drugs in this country is taking down everybody that messes with it but yet people are so ignorant they’re so successful but yet they still screw with it and prostitutes and everything else but your articles more about her than it is about him. Play stupid games you win stupid prizes
Thank u I posted similar above. He is so innocent.
Yes, so successful but needs to hire a prostitute. No, he didn’t deserve to die. Only God makes that choice. But he is an example of why guys get in trouble all the time and are the ones who are involved in violent deaths the majority of the time. It’s hard for me to feel empathetic for either one of these individuals.
Shon, Richard Waldren go fuck yourselves, I’m hoping your next. Fuck Heads
Was it a mercy killing? His boat was named Excape.
To a short life and a merry one i guess..
