Heartless: Alix Tichelman, 26, appeared in Santa
Cruz court on Wednesday to face manslaughter and drug charges in
relation to the November 2013 death of Google executive Forrest Hayes.
Prosecutors are accusing Tichelman, a call girl, of leaving Hayes to die
of a drug overdose

'sugar babies' with rich, older, men and women
And
this may not have been Tichelman's first killing, as detectives are
also investigating Tichelman for a similar death in another state.
Tichelman was apparently fascinated with the topic of serial murders, according to posts she wrote on Facebook just last month.
'Really
nice to talk with someone about killing sprees and murdering people in
cold blood...and they love it too,' she wrote in a June 28 post.
'No judgement, Yay! F*** all of that positivity bulls***. Take a look around you. Life is hard and then you die,' she added.
Stone cold: The high-priced prostitute didn't look worried when she appeared in court on July 9
No plea yet: Tichelman has not yet entered a plea, and was assigned a public defender in court on Wednesday
In court on Wednesday, Tichelman did not enter a plea and was assigned a public defender.
Tichelman
has been held on $1.5million bond since her July 4 arrest, when she met
with an undercover cop at a Santa Cruz hotel who said he wanted to pay
her $1,000 for sex.
The
high-priced prostitute allegedly met Hayes, the married father of five,
on website 'Seeking Arrangement' which pairs 'sugar babies' with rich
older men or women.
Police say the two met a few times before the deadly November 26 encounter.
That
day, they met on Hayes' 50-foot yacht, Escape, at the Santa Cruz Small
Craft Harbor and Tichelman brought heroin before injecting him with the
drug, police said.
Scene: She allegedly took the heroin to his
yacht, pictured, and administered the drug but as he lay dying, she
stepped over his body to finish a glass of wine before leaving the boat
Surveillance
video from inside the luxury boat shows Hayes 'suffering medical
complications' and losing consciousness - but Tichelman makes no attempt
to help him or call 911, police said.
Instead,
she is seen gathering her belongings, stepping over his dying body to
finish her glass of wine and then leaving the boat - pulling a window
blind down to conceal his body from outside.
Hayes was found dead the next morning by the boat's captain, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported.
'She
showed no regard for him. She was just trying to cover her tracks,'
Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said on Tuesday.
Authorities launched a nine-month investigation into the incident and uncovered Tichelman's correspondence with the victim.
'We know they've had a previous
relationship, they've shared time together before,' Clark told KION.
'This was all set up
through text messages and emails. We also know what she did in the
aftermath of this. We have her computer records, we know the Google
searches that she made, the things she did to try to get herself out of
this.'
Fetish fan: Tichelman was arrested on Friday after police posed as a client and met her at a hotel
Police identified Tichelman from the video and also found her fingerprints on the wine glass, police said.
They
then tracked her down to her home in Folsom, where she lives with her
parents, but lured her back to Santa Cruz County for the July 4 arrest.
When
asked if the overdose was accidental or intentional, Clark said
evidence showed a level of guilt that reached second-degree murder
rather than involuntary manslaughter, the Sentinel reported.
'She showed
absolutely no regard for this person she injected with heroin,' Clark
said. 'She had a responsibility to provide some lifesaving effort.'
Detectives said they are also investigating Tichelman for a similar death in another state.
Hayes,
who was originally from Dearborn, Michigan was married for 17 years to
wife Denise and together they had five children, according to his
obituary.
He worked in the auto industry before senior roles at Apple and Google.
'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.
'His brilliant mind, contagious smile and warm embrace will be missed and cherished in memories by his friends and family.'
Tichelman's
Facebook profile shows she went to high school in Atlanta before
majoring in journalism at Georgia State University and attending beauty
school. She lists her occupation as a makeup artist
According to Tichelman's Facebook, she went to
high school in Atlanta before attending George State University and then
beauty school. She listed her occupation as a makeup artist
She called herself a 'model' in jail records.
On
social media, she poses in lingerie and pouts with red lips for the
camera, and posts suggest she had a boyfriend as recently as a couple of
months ago.
In an interview with fiXE fETISH magazine, she said she loved modeling because she got to play a character.
'I
have always been attracted to the darker side,' she said. 'My parents
said by the time I was three I was an "intense child" and already liked
horror movies.'
She added that she loved fetishism and would often wear a leash when she went out with her nightclub owner boyfriend.
She
also posted pictures under another Facebook profile, AK Kennedy, and
talks about heroin and her love of the TV show about a serial killer,
'Dexter'.
Seeking
Arrangement, the website through which Tichelman and Hayes met, is
described as being a site for connecting 'sugar babies' with 'sugar
daddies and mommas' - but the company maintains it is not promoting
prostitution.
