So there wasn't enough evidence to prove that the guy did it, but that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't do it. . . Meanwhile, it's possible that Oksana could have put the pills in her own drinks, but what would she expect to get out of framing the guy? Looks like this may remain a mystery forever now! The Orange County Register has a slightly more detailed story, but still no answers:
