John Adams of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau confirmed detectives are also following up on information that was shared with them shortly after Bjorkman’s arrest in Florida on March 9. The Las Vegas allegations have so far resulted in at least one additional investigation. She also said that after she returned from her trip, she posted on social media about being drugged, without mentioning names, which resulted in multiple people coming forward to mention “allegations of being drugged, and/or alleging inappropriate and/or criminal acts while at real estate events involving Bjorkman,” according to the affidavit. The clothes were turned over to LVMPD, tested for DNA and impounded as evidence. The redacted affidavit does not include the results of the testing.
