Part 5/9:
Authorities discovered that Forest had been using a sugar daddy dating website called Seeking Arrangement, where he likely encountered Alex. What appeared to be a consensual arrangement quickly deteriorated into a nightmare. The police's investigation involved sifting through digital footprints, unearthing the details of Forest's clandestine life, and confirming that he sought companionship under false pretenses.
The detectives faced a significant hurdle: the surveillance footage initially withheld from them was crucial. Eventually, they secured a court order to access the video, which depicted Alex's behavior after Forest collapsed. Rather than calling for help, she seemed to prioritize covering up her presence—raising profound questions about accountability and responsibility.
