9: Richard Forsythe Interview Part 3, Why Are Police Not Asking More Questions?

In a recent gripping episode of the podcast Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski delves deep into the murky waters of the mysterious case surrounding the death of Dr. John Forsythe. Richard Forsythe, brother of the deceased, paints a baffling and distressing picture of the police investigation, or lack thereof.
 
 "We discuss the mysterious case surrounding the death of his brother," Brueski began, probing Richard about the police's involvement. "How involved have the police been with you? How deep are they going in the investigation?" Brueski inquired. Richard's response revealed a perplexing lack of engagement from the police. While he admitted to having "little to no insight into the criminal investigation," what was more disconcerting was the revelation that none of his five sisters, some of whom the deceased confided in deeply, had been approached by the police.
 
 The narrative presented by the police is one of "assisted suicide." They speculate Dr. Forsythe may have orchestrated his own murder to perpetuate a tale of mysterious martyrdom. "They believe that he hired someone to kill him... I don't really know why they believe that," Richard remarked.
 
 Could it be that the police have prematurely adopted a theory that aligns more conveniently with public expectations rather than robust detective work? "In the case of criminal investigations, results matter, public confidence in the system matters," Richard observes, suggesting that sometimes theories are adopted and then facts are sought to support them.
 
 Tony Brueski pushed further on the topic of Dr. Forsythe's mental state, which the police are using as a backbone to their suicide theory. It is, after all, essential to understand if the victim might have had suicidal tendencies. The insights provided by Richard portrayed a man in the prime of his life: brimming with joy, about to move jobs to be closer to his fiancée, making future investment plans with his brother, renovating a building with dreams of revitalizing the town, and overjoyed with the prospect of becoming a father. This portrayal starkly contrasts the police narrative.
 
 "Absolutely," Richard responded when asked if Dr. Forsythe was in close contact with his sisters. "He confided in them a lot." The doctor even shared aspects of his life with his sisters that he hadn't with Richard, making their absence from the police interviews even more puzzling.
 
 However, the narrative doesn't completely ignore the challenges in Dr. Forsythe's life. He endured two divorces, faced hefty child support payments, and battled personal health challenges. But as Richard firmly stated, "He had so many plans." He was a prosperous doctor and investor, and any financial burdens from his divorce were well within his capability to manage.
 
 To further question the narrative of a man seeking a way out, Richard mentioned a unique reason Dr. Forsythe had acquired ketamine - not for depression as records indicated, but to supplement a DMT trip. His curiosity was driven by a scientific quest to decode a quantum math issue, far from the demeanor of a man plotting his own end.
 
 Brueski circled back to the investigation, asking Richard about potential leads the police might be following. Richard alluded to a witness account of a kidnapping but noted that this witness faced hostility from the police.
 
 "I have no reason to believe that the police have bad intentions or are dishonest in any way," Richard stated, emphasizing his desire for the truth and for justice for his brother. He wishes for a transparent investigation, free from skepticism or allegations, and above all, for the mystery surrounding Dr. John Forsythe's death to be unveiled.
 
 This deeply intricate case, with its conflicting narratives, leaves us pondering: If Dr. Forsythe was truly at the pinnacle of his life, who stands to gain from painting a different story?
