Tune into the second part of this baffling case to hear the opinion of a civil jury, learn about the state of the case today, and explore the Spreckles mansion -- built in 1908 and under new ownership as of 2020. TW: SA & Suicide.

In July of 2011, Rebecca Zahau was found nude, bound, and hanging from the second-story balcony of her boyfriend, Jonah Shacknai's California mansion. The same mansion where Shackni's six-year-old son, Max, was found by Zahau at the end of the stairs just two days before Rebecca's death. He died just a few days later, his death being ruled accidental. Zahau's death was ultimately ruled a suicide. But those close to Rebecca didn't buy it - other than it being out of character, she was tied up, and a cryptic message was left at the scene of her death. Rebecca's family has been fighting for over ten years to bring her justice. If you have any information about Rebecca's case or about Adam Shacknai's possible involvement, please contact:https://greerlawapc.com/zahau-case1-800-366-8529Sign the petition to get Rebecca's case re-examined:https://chng.it/4KRQg6t8fnDrinking First Watch's Project Sunshine https://www.firstwatch.com/project-sunrise/https://greerlawapc.com/zahau-case

Rebecca Zahau's death was ruled a suicide by investigators twice, so why did a civil suit brought against her boyfriend's brother show that he killed her? This week, Savannah breaks down the incredibly twisted tale surrounding Rebecca Zahau's hanging. Just the day before Rebecca was found dead, Rebecca was at billionaire Jonah Shacknai's home when Jonah's son Max died in a freak accident. Jonah's family, including his ex-wife, felt strongly that Rebecca was directly responsible for Max's accidental death. The next day, Jonah's brother Adam Shacknai reportedly found Rebecca hanging from a balcony, tied up and gagged, and a cryptic note was found etched on her door. So did Rebecca kill herself due to guilt over Max's death, or did Adam strangle and kill Rebecca as an act of familial revenge?

Rebecca's death came two days after Jonah's six-year-old son, Max, took a devastating fall while in Rebecca's care. Authorities deemed Rebecca's death a suicide resulting from her guilt.

Two days after her pharmaceutical tycoon boyfriend's 6 year old son Max, suffered from a terrible fall under her care, 32 year old Rebecca Zahau was allegedly found hanging from a balcony at the Coronado, California mansion where they spent summers. It was a tragic situation that might seem logical, except for a few major details: she was found with her wrist and ankles bound behind her body, she was nude, and there was a cryptic message written near her body that doesn't seem like it was written by Rebecca.  The investigation uncovered a ton of hinky details that only muddied the waters further regarding both deaths.

On the heels of the family prosecutor, Keith Greer, announcing a $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of Adam Shacknai in the death of Rebecca Zahau in 2011, the defendant continues to maintain his innocence as Adam spoke with Mark this morning. Also, James Hirsen (NewsMax.com) puts on his legal hat and provides some interesting insight pertaining to the Zahau case as well as what could be unraveling from the investigation into the death of multimillionaire and accused sex trafficker, among other things, Jeffrey Epstein.

Mark spoke with Carl DeMaio on the latest involving Rep. Duncan Hunter getting his trial postponed regarding the misuse of more than $250,000 in campaign funds, as well as CA State Senator Brian Jones with an update on the shenanigans in Sacramento. The big news of the day has Mark speaking, on the heels of the newest Rebecca Zahau investigation press conference, with Keith Greer (Zahau family attorney) and Rebecca's sister, Mary Zahau-Loehner, on the reward they're putting up to get Adam Shacknai behind bars.

Police ruled Rebecca Zahau’s death a suicide after she was found naked and hanging from the balcony of her millionaire boyfriend’s mansion in 2011. Then jurors in a civil trial found Adam Shacknai, the brother of Rebecca’s boyfriend, responsible for her death. He adamantly denies any involvement. In the fifth and final episode of “Mansion of Secrets: The Mysterious Death of Rebecca Zahau” Analysis by Dr. Phil, Rebecca’s family speaks out for the very first time since Adam Shacknai’s trial. Plus, Dr. Phil discusses civil case law, circumstantial evidence and the psychology of people accused.

In the early morning hours of July 13, 2011, Adam Shacknai calls 911 and reports “I got a girl, hung herself”. That “girl” was his brother’s girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau. Adam Shacknai was reportedly alone with Rebecca at the Spreckels Mansion property on the night she died and was the last person to see her alive. What does he say happened in her final hours? Plus, a scream in the night. What one neighbor says she heard, and why Rebecca’s family say they believe that cry came from Rebecca. This is episode 2 of Mansion of Secrets the Mysterious Death of Rebecca Zahau.

In a surprise move, the $5.1 million judgment and jury finding that blamed Adam Shacknai for the death of Rebecca Zahau in a Coronado mansion eight years ago was wiped out and the entire case dismissed after the family of the deceased woman reached a settlement with Shacknai's insurance company. The announcement by lawyer C. Keith Greer came at the start of a scheduled hearing to argue post-trial motions. It took Shacknai by surprise, as well as his lawyer — and added yet another twist to the controversial death of Zahau, which has now been investigated twice by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and was the subject of a captivating civil trial last year.

Mark recaps the previous hour with the attorney for Rebecca Zahau's family following the dismissal and settlement of the civil case against Adam Shacknai in her death. Also, Stephen Moore, our chief economist, chimes in for a few minutes on the latest involving unemployment, the stock markets, and the overall economy.

Mark welcomes Adam Shacknai in studio as they discuss in depth about the civil case settlement that essentially cleared Adam's name in the death of his brother Jonah's girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, back at the Spreckels Mansion on Coronado back in 2011.

The mystery of how Rebecca Zahau was hanged off the balcony of her boyfriend's Southern California mansion was investigated by police and the subject of a wrongful death lawsuit -- but the truth is still evasive. Investigators initially concluded the 32-year-old killed herself days after her boyfriend's son suffered a fatal fall in the same home, but a jury recently decided the boyfriend's brother was legally responsible for her death. Nancy Grace digs into the case with famed forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, who investigated it for the civil lawsuit and Zahau family lawyer Keith Greer, who won a $5 million judgment against Adam Shacknai, the man who called 911 to report finding Zahau dead. They are also joined by Seattle lawyer Anne Bremner, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan, Dr. Carole Lieberman -- author of "Lions, Tigers & Terrorists, Oh My! How to protect your child in a time of terror," and Crime Stories contributing reporter Ninette Sosa.
