Alix Tichelman is the 26-year-old woman accused of murder for injecting 51-year-old Google executive Forest Hayes with heroin and leaving him to die when he became sick. She also, it turns out, dated a 53-year-old who ended up dying in similar fashion just two months before Hayes on the other side of the country. From CBS “Crimesider”:
Dean Riopelle, 53, died of a heroin overdose in September 2013 in Milton, 30 miles north of Atlanta, about two months before Google executive Forrest Hayes died of an overdose on his yacht.
Milton police Capt. Shawn McCarty said Thursday that Alix Tichelman, 26, called 911 to report that Riopelle, her boyfriend, had overdosed. She told investigators that he had been drinking and using heroin throughout the day, and that she found him on the ground after she got out of the shower.
Georgia police are “re-examining” Riopelle’s death.
