    9: Richard Forsythe Interview Part 5, Did John Forsythe Sacrifice Himself for Family's Safety?
    Oct 20 2023
    What lengths would someone go to, to protect their loved ones from a looming danger?
    In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski dives deep into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Dr. John Forsythe with his brother, Richard Forsythe. The narrative that unfolds is one of confusion, pain, and countless questions.

    "Why didn't he do just the simplest of things to assure his estate if he was contemplating his demise?" Richard wondered aloud, painting a picture of a man who deeply cared about his work, family, and multiple ventures. This includes the murky world of cryptocurrency and cutting-edge mathematical research.

    For a man deeply involved in many potentially influential spheres, it seemed odd that John would leave his affairs in such disarray. His estate lay unmanaged, and with dependent children left behind, Richard said, "everything we work to build is crumbling."

    Richard questions whether John knew his death was imminent. "He claimed that if he said more, it would put others in danger," he recalls. This detail adds another layer to the mystery - did John sacrifice himself to protect others?

    It's a perplexing puzzle. On one hand, John was a brilliant individual with undeniable talent and a knack for hiding information. But on the other, he was a vulnerable man who might have been taken advantage of, either by external entities or organized crime rings.

    Brueski speculates, "Could he have been belligerent to the end? Could he have basically just said, 'no, you're going to have to kill me because I'm not going to do X, Y, or Z,' thinking his death would secure the safety of those around him?" This perspective, though grim, is not entirely impossible.

    Bringing more darkness to the narrative, Richard points out the audacity of the killers. The act of kidnapping a prominent member of society, crossing state lines, and then disposing of the body on a tourist-filled lake during Memorial Day week is "absurd," unless the perpetrators believed they were above the law.

    The Forsythe brothers' practice of encrypting their data and communications adds another dimension to the investigation. If the truth lies hidden within encrypted communication, it may be nearly impossible to uncover. "My brother was regularly in the habit of engaging in [encrypted communication], then they're not going to get that information," Richard admitted. He further hinted that the investigation may need to explore the world of cryptocurrency and the unique challenges it presents.

    Richard also raised concerns about potentially rattling a "hornet's nest" by hiring a private investigator. "They may not appreciate us poking around for answers," he warned, indicating the possible dangers of confronting whoever might be behind this.

    The tragic demise of Dr. John Forsythe remains a mystery filled with more questions than answers. As the podcast episode concludes, Richard voices his hope for a miracle and calls for someone with information to come forward.

    In a world brimming with complex technologies and intricate networks, how do you find the truth behind one man's death?

  • Richard Forsythe Interview Part 4, What the Parking Lot Footage Of John Really Shows

    Richard Forsythe Interview Part 4, What the Parking Lot Footage Of John Really Shows
    Oct 19 2023
    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?

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

    9: Richard Forsythe Interview Part 3, Why Are Police Not Asking More Questions?
    Oct 18 2023
    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?
