DEA Investigation Centers on Incriminating Texts from Hayden Panettiere’s Dealer

Hayden Panettiere maintained extensive text conversations with her drug dealer until the week of her tragic passing. The DEA is now focusing their investigation on these incriminating communications, according to sources close to the situation, as reported by TMZ.

Insiders directly involved in the investigation reveal that Hayden and her dealer explicitly discussed acquiring black market pills. One insider remarked, “There is a substantial amount of messages regarding drugs.” These text exchanges are now pivotal to the ongoing investigation.

According to TMZ’s report, the DEA suspects that Hayden died after consuming an oxy pill contaminated with fentanyl. Sources indicate that she had various pills with her during her flight from Los Angeles to South Carolina, just hours before her death. Her boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, provided police with a bag containing Hayden’s medications, which may reveal additional pills contaminated with this lethal substance.

Witnesses living near Hayden in West Hollywood reported that they frequently observed three suspicious individuals visiting her unit over the years. These visitors would arrive one at a time, often carrying a small bag. Neighbors recounted seeing Hayden open the door, take the bag, and the person would quickly leave.

Neighbors speculated that the three visitors—two women and a man—were involved in drug dealing. Notably, the man was seen arriving with a bag during the week of Hayden’s death.

Regarding the text messages, there have been numerous instances in which such communications have led law enforcement to apprehend drug dealers. A notable example is the case involving Mac Miller, where the dealer was sentenced to prison.
