In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski sat down with Richard Forsythe, the brother of the mysteriously murdered Dr. John Forsythe, to discuss the baffling circumstances surrounding his death. As investigators weave together the fragments of this complicated case, the evidence has only thickened the plot.
From the outset, the key topic of discussion was a perplexing camera footage showing what was believed to be the last moments Dr. John Forsythe was seen alive. Richard recalls, "The last footage we saw [was of him] in that parking lot...getting out, getting into another vehicle, going back to the car, but leaving his things there and walking off camera." The sequence raises more questions than it answers. Why would Dr. Forsythe leave his belongings in the car? And even more baffling, why would he walk off without his phone?
One of the theories floated was the potential consumption of DMT or some other substance by Dr. Forsythe, which may have influenced his actions. However, it does little to shed light on the subsequent events that culminated in his being shot.
Delving deeper into the camera footage, Richard seeks to correct misunderstandings and rumors that have clouded the investigation. Contrary to prior beliefs, the footage, which was unfortunately blurry, revealed no clear evidence of Dr. Forsythe entering another vehicle. Richard emphasized, "There's no evidence of that whatsoever." It seems initial rumors and incomplete information had birthed a narrative that was hard to undo.
Adding to the mystery are a series of potential sightings and tips that arose following Dr. Forsythe's disappearance. Richard recounted: "There was an account of somebody sitting in an infinity black infinity M at the roaring river hatchery...and this tipster claimed that he definitely matched the photos we circulated in his missing poster photos." Yet, without concrete evidence or follow-up, such claims further muddle the waters.
One might wonder if there were other surveillance cameras in the vicinity. To this, Richard acknowledged that while other cameras existed, relevant footage was hard to come by. "Some of my family went to the roaring river fishery to see if they had security cameras. They did, to see if they had footage. They did not have footage, unfortunately."
Perhaps the most chilling piece of the puzzle is a photograph of Dr. Forsythe, known for his distaste for outdoor activities, on a fishing trip at Beaver Lake. Eerily, this is the exact location where his body was subsequently discovered. Richard expressed his shock: "I've got a photo of him on a fishing trip with an acquaintance and it's at the place where his body was found. And I think that is extremely bizarre."
While the details and the chronology of Dr. John Forsythe's tragic end remain ambiguous, what is clear is the pain and quest for answers felt by those left behind. Richard's attempt to clarify the record, correct misconceptions, and seek the truth serves as a testament to the enduring love of a brother seeking justice.
As listeners and readers absorb the unfolding mystery, the enigma continues: if not under the influence, why would Dr. Forsythe, a professional, leave his car and belongings, seemingly walking away from his life, only to meet a tragic end? With more questions than answers, one cannot help but ponder, What truly happened to Dr. John Forsythe?
