  • Alix Tichelman Back in the Courtroom

    Alix Tichelman Back in the Courtroom

    Public defenders representing Alix Tichelman, the northern California call girl charged with murdering Google executive Forrest Hayes aboard his yacht last November, have suggested that other women had visited the deceased before their client did, and have asked the prosecution for access to more surveillance footage.

    Jerry Christensen, one of three public defenders representing Tichelman, commented outside Santa Cruz County Superior Court on Friday, “We have some indication from other materials that there may have been some previous encounters on the boat.”

    Hayes was found dead on his 50-foot motorboat, and authorities initially concluded that it was due to his overdosing on heroin. Seven months later, police have uncovered new video evidence taken from Hayes’ yacht, “The Escape,” which reveals he may have been murdered by Tichelman.

    Tichelman, 27, a high-priced call girl, was seen injecting Hayes with heroin in the footage obtained by police, before Hayes fell unconscious after his overdose. Santa Cruz Police Department Deputy Chief Steve Clark revealed that Tichelman did nothing to help Hayes, and commented that she was “so callous that in gathering her things, she was literally stepping over the body and at one point stepped over the body to grab a glass of wine and finish the glass of wine.”

    Santa Cruz County Judge Timothy Volkmann granted Tichelman’s counsel access to more footage. Christensen commented, “We’ve always been curious in regard to Mr. Hayes’ receptiveness, if not welcoming purchase, of drugs. It would make a great deal of difference in regard to the drug crimes.”

    Hayes, 51, a married father of 5, had met Tichelman on a sugardaddy website called SeekingArrangement. The night of Hayes death was not the first time he and Tichelman had met; the two had an ongoing prostitution arrangement.

    Tichelman is charged with manslaughter, prostitution and the transportation and sales of narcotics, and faces up to 15 years behind bars. She is presently being held on a $1.5 million bail.

    Larry Biggam, another of Tichelman’s attorneys, remarked, “The evidence we’re missing is more related to Forrest Hayes, who he is, what’s his character, his habits, his compulsions. I think that evidence is relevant to explain why he was on the boat, why there were drugs present and why he was shooting heroin with a young woman.”

  • Prostitute Injected Deceased Google Exec with Heroin

    Google executive Forrest Hayes was found dead on his yacht in Santa Cruz, California last November, and authorities initially concluded that it was due to his overdosing on heroin. Seven months later, police have uncovered new video evidence taken from Hayes’ yacht, “The Escape,” which reveals he may have been murdered by a prostitute name Alix Tichelman.

    Hayes, 51, a married father of 5, had met Tichelman on a sugardaddy website called SeekingArrangement. The night of Hayes death was not the first time he and Tichelman had met; the two had an ongoing prostitution arrangement.

    Tichelman, 26, a high-priced call girl, was seen injecting Hayes with heroin in the footage obtained by police, before Hayes fell unconscious after his overdose. Santa Cruz Police Department Deputy Chief Steve Clark revealed that Tichelman did nothing to help Hayes, and commented that she was “so callous that in gathering her things, she was literally stepping over the body and at one point stepped over the body to grab a glass of wine and finish the glass of wine.”

    Tichelman shares some makeup tips on Twitter:

    Authorities said the woman believed to be Tichelman even closed the blinds to the master suite on the 50-foot yacht before leaving. Detectives took fingerprints from the wine glass from the surveillance video, and had an undercover agent set up a rendezvous with Tichelman, enticing her with the promise of $1000 for a date. Tichelman, a heroin addict, showed no emotion as she was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder, destruction of evidence and transporting and providing narcotics.

    Tichelman expresses her feelings about Aiesh Versoza:

    It is unclear if Tichelman has hired an attorney, and police revealed that she remained emotionless during questioning. Her bail has been set at $1.5 million.

    Here is a Vine clip of Tichelman preliminary hearing:

    Hayes’ obituary read, “more than anything else he enjoyed spending time with his family at home and on his boat. His brilliant mind, contagious smile, and warm embrace will be missed and cherished in memories by his friends and family.”
