Ever wonder where the term "Sugar Daddy" came from? We have Mrs. Alma Spreckels to thank for that. She was married to a man 24 years older than her and he actually owned Spreckels Sugar Company.  Born into modest beginnings in 1881, Alma de Bretteville aka Alma Spreckels emerged from the shadows to become a prominent figure in the social and cultural landscape of early 20th-century America. She was known as a risque model because she we pose partially nude. Men would chase her, including Charlie Anderson, a successful miner. After a very brief courtship, she sued him for $50,000 for “breach of promise” to marry her. She won the case and was awarded $1,250. Alma went from small-town girl to the queen of society, exploring her unbridled passion for art, philanthropy, and social justice. As the wife of sugar magnate Adolph Spreckels, Alma played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural identity of San Francisco and beyond. She held legendary gatherings at the Spreckels Mansion, where artists, intellectuals, and influencers of the time converged to celebrate creativity and challenge the status quo.    Get your Homance apparel: nicolebonneville.etsy.com Follow us on IG: @homance_chronicles Connect with us: linktr.ee/homance Send us a Hoe of History request: homancepodcast@gmail.com

KUSI's Good Evening San Diego anchor Ginger Jeffries joined Mark Mathis on Mark My Words! to discuss her outstanding reporting on various cold cases in the San Diego area. Some of the recent cold cases Jeffries has covered were resolved after decades, others quickly, and one continues to shape headlines. Rebecca Zahau was found hanging at the Spreckels Mansion in Coronado, California on July 13, 2011, and pronounced dead by first responders called to the residence. Zahau's death occurred two days after 6-year-old Max Shacknai, the son of her boyfriend Jonah Shacknai, had fallen from the staircase of the mansion and was in critical condition in a hospital. Rebecca Zahau and her younger sister Xena were the only people present at the time of Max's fall. The most recent development from the Zahau case was that the Zahua family filed an amendment to their lawsuit against the Sheriff's Department. The sheriff's department maintains that Zahau committed suicide. However, the family believes their investigation is not complete. KUSI's Ginger Jeffries breaks it down in this in-depth discussion.

DEATH ON OCEAN BOULEVARD: Inside The Coronado Mansion Case by Caitlin Rother The 911 call came on the morning of July 13, 2011, from the historic Spreckels Mansion, a lavish beachfront property in Coronado, California, owned by pharmaceutical tycoon Jonah Shacknai. When authorities arrived, they found the naked body of Jonah's girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, gagged, her ankles tied, and her wrists bound behind her. Jonah's brother, Adam, claimed he found Rebecca hanging from the second-floor balcony off a guest bedroom, where the door was painted with this cryptic message: ​SHE SAVED HIM CAN YOU SAVE HER ​Was this a suicide note, or a killer's taunt? Rebecca's death came two days after Jonah's son, Max, took a devastating fall while in Rebecca's care. Authorities deemed Rebecca's death a suicide resulting from her guilt, but her family insists she was murdered. But who would stage a suicide or a murder in such a bizarre, elaborate way? ​www.caitlinrother.com “The Rebecca Zahau case is one of the great crime mysteries of modern times.

“Rebecca Zahau” was found hanging – her hands and feet bound by red rope, mouth gagged, and completely nude – over a balcony at Spreckels Mansion in Coronado California on July 13, 2011. - Her case is nuanced, complex, and full of unanswered questions. - Two days before her bizarre death, Max Shacknai (Rebecca's boyfriend's son) suffered a serious accident under Zahau's care, and later passed away on July 16, 2011. Max was not biologically related to Rebecca, but was the 6-year old child of Jonah Shacknai (Rebecca's boyfriend) and Dina Romano (Jonah's ex-wife). - Clearly, motive for murder could be argued given the circumstances, but also suicide, given the level of guilt Rebecca MAY have been under (if she played role in Max's accident). - Jonah Shacknai's brother, Adam, was staying in the Spreckels Mansion's guesthouse during the period Rebecca died, and as a result was a prime suspect in the case. He proclaims innocence to this day. - Furthermore, a crazy cryptic message reading “she saved him, can you save her”, was painted in black on the door of the room Rebecca was hanging out of. Jonah Shacknai (her boyfriend) was also rich af. - Herein, we lay out the events that transpired, outline the evidence associated with Rebecca Zahau's case, provide evidence for and against various theories, and then close with our own personal takes on the case. Was it murder? Was it suicide? Was it ritual magic? - What say you? #truecrime #murder #suicide

In 2011, the glamorous Spreckels Mansion in Southern California was witness to not just one but two grisly deaths — just days apart. When a beautiful young woman is found hanging nude from the mansion’s balcony, police rule it a suicide. Police say a tragedy days before triggered Rebecca Zahau to take her own life, but her loved ones claim suspicious evidence led to foul play.   

In a shocking PART 2, the case is blown wide open with a rare interview from Max Shacknai's mother Dr. Dina Shacknai. Dina believes both Rebecca Zahau and her 6 year old son Maxie were violently attacked and killed. She shares details of her years long private investigation and opens up about why she wants investigators to re-open the cases.This episode includes new evidence including police interviews of neighbors who reported odd things at the Spreckels Mansion before the deaths and a never before released voicemail left by Rebecca that some say proves she was not suicidal over Max's injuries.Dina talks candidly with host Matt Johnson about her relationship with her ex-husbands girlfriend Rebecca and what she was told about Rebecca's death.The Case Of Rebecca Zahau and Max Shacknai is a fresh look at the evidence in two mysterious deaths at a multi-million dollar historic mansion.The circumstances of Rebecca Zahau's death in 2011 left her family and law enforcement with opposing views on how she died.32-year-old Rebecca Zahau was found bound, gagged, naked and hanging from a balcony of a historic Coronado mansion for everyone to see.

In 2018, a civil jury found Rebecca's boyfriend's brother Adam liable for her death. Adam, has maintained his innocence and denied all allegations against him and has never been criminally charged. In December 2018, following the civil trial and a case review, the San Diego Sheriff's Department, Coronado Police Department, and San Diego Medical Examiner's Department maintained Zahau's death was a suicide.
