SANTA CRUZ - Police arrested a 26-year-old high-priced call girl from Georgia on Friday after she shot heroin into a Santa Cruz tech executive on his yacht and fled when he overdosed.
Alix Catherine Tichelman and 51-year-old Forrest Timothy Hayes found each other online and had met a few times before their Nov. 26 encounter on Hayes' 50-foot yacht, Escape, at the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor, said Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark.
Tichelman provided heroin for Hayes, a Google executive, while they were inside the yacht, police said. A surveillance video from the boat shows that Hayes was "suffering medical complications" and lost consciousness, Clark said. She made no effort to help him, and instead gathered her belongings and even gulped a glass of wine before she drew a window blind and left, the video shows.
Hayes was discovered dead the next morning by the boat's captain, police said.
"She showed no regard for him. She was just trying to cover her tracks," Clark said Tuesday.
After police identified Tichelman from the video, they tracked her down in Folsom and lured her back to Santa Cruz County in a prostitution sting at a lavish hotel, police said.
Tichelman was arrested Friday on suspicion of second-degree murder, destruction of evidence and transporting and providing narcotics, police said.
Asked if Tichelman was trying to kill Hayes or if the overdose was accidental, Clark said the evidence showed a level of guilt that reached second-degree murder rather than involuntary manslaughter.
"It's an amazing case," said Clark.
Hayes, originally from Dearborn, Michigan, worked in the auto industry early in his career. He lived in Santa Cruz for years and worked at technology giants such as Sun Microsystems, Apple and Google, according to his friends and family. He is survived by his wife of 17 years and his five children.
"Forrest will be remembered above all as a loving husband and father. More than anything else he enjoyed spending time with his family at home and on his boat," according to a January obituary that his family wrote for the Sentinel. "His brilliant mind, contagious smile and warm embrace will be missed and cherished in memories by his friends and family."
