A high-priced call girl killed a Google executive with a lethal dose of heroin and then fled his yacht in California, US authorities allege.
Alix Catherine Tichelman, 26, was remanded 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.
Her bail has been set at $US1.5 million ($1.6 million), and she is to return to court on July 16 for her next hearing.
The case didn?t make news at the time, even as police began a criminal investigation.
The video shows Mr Hayes suffering "medical complications" and passing out after being injected by Ms Tichelman - and then shows Ms Tichelman leaving the scene, instead of administering first aid or calling for an ambulance, police said.
"Ms Tichelman proceeds to gather her belongings including the heroin and needles," police said in a release.
"The video also shows Ms Tichelman stepping over the victim?s body several times as she is gathering her belongings."
Ms Tichelman stepped over Mr Hayes at one point to finish a glass of wine, according to investigators, who added that she lowered a window blind while leaving, to hide the man from view.
His body was found the next morning.
Police said they had learnt of a second case in another state with "similar circumstances" and were investigating Ms Tichelman?s possible involvement.
The California woman was arrested on July 4 after being lured to an upscale hotel by investigators under the pretence of meeting a rich man willing to pay well for sex, according to the court.
