A high-priced call girl killed a Google executive with a lethal dose of heroin and then fled his yacht in California, authorities alleged.
Alix Catherine Tichleman, 26, was remanded on Wednesday to a cell after a hearing to face criminal charges including manslaughter, prostitution, destroying evidence and transporting a controlled substance, according to Santa Cruz county superior court.
Tichleman was taken into custody last Friday by Santa Cruz city police, who identified her as the woman in a surveillance video on the yacht where 51-year-old Forrest Hayes was found dead of an overdose in November.
The video shows Hayes suffering "medical complications" and passing out after being injected by Tichleman - and then shows Tichleman leaving the scene, instead of administering first aid or calling for an ambulance, police said.
"Ms Tichleman proceeds to gather her belongings, including the heroin and needles," police said.
