Hayes, who worked for Google at time of his death, was found dead aboard his 50-foot luxury yacht, Escape, at the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor on Nov. 23, 2013, said Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark.
Hayes, a married father of five children, also worked for tech companies Sun Microsystems and Apple.
Police said Tichelman injected Hayes with a lethal dose of heroin while they were inside the yacht. They claim Tichelman made no effort to help Hayes who began to convulse and eventually lost consciousness after the injection.
Surveillance video from the yacht shows Tichelman taking her belongings, taking a sip of wine and shutting a window blind before leaving the yacht. Hayes' body was discovered by the yacht's captain the next day.
"She was so callous that she literally stepped over the victim's body to retrieve her glass of wine and finish her glass of wine as the victim is laying there dying at her feet," said Clark.
Clark said the evidence showed a level of guilt that reached second-degree murder rather than involuntary manslaughter after after being asked by a reporter if Tichelman was trying to kill Hayes or if the overdose was accidental.
Police tracked down Tichelman after going through Hayes' mobile phone and reading text messages and emails she exchanged with Hayes before his death. An undercover policeman lured Hayes to a meeting after promising to pay her $1,000 for sex. She was then arrested.
According to the police, Hayes had met Tichelman through SeekingArrangement.com, a website that helps "sugar babies" hook up with "sugar daddies," mainly rich, older men that provide for the girls and shower them with luxuries.
Tichelman described herself as an aspiring model, makeup artist and exotic dancer on her social media accounts. The "sugar baby" told police she had over 200 client relationships with "sugar daddies."
Tichelman is also being investigated for another homicide.
