Sylvie Cachay was an up-and-coming fashion designer. In 2010, she was found dead and partially clothed in an overflowing tub at the Soho House in New York City. Police learned Sylvie had checked into the hotel with her boyfriend, Nicholas Brooks. Although there was an empty bottle of prescription pills nearby, the on-scene medical examiner found marks on Sylvie’s neck that suggested strangulation and the investigation quickly turned to Brooks. "48 Hours" correspondent Troy Roberts reports. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 8/1/2026. Watch all-new episodes of “48 Hours” on Saturdays and stream on demand on Paramount+.
