Podcasts about Zahau

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

Award-winning investigative journalist and bestselling author Caitlin Rother explores the mysterious death of 32-year-old Rebecca Zahau, who was found hanging from a second-story balcony of her multimillionaire boyfriend's San Diego mansion in 2011. She was naked and gagged, with her ankles tied and hands bound behind her. On the door to her bedroom, investigators found a hand-written message: "SHE SAVED HIM CAN YOU SAVE HER." The death was deemed a suicide, but Rother reveals there's more to the story... "I got a girl, hung herself in the guest house." The 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 and multimillionaire 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 to have found Rebecca hanging by a rope from the second-floor balcony. On a bedroom door in black paint were the cryptic words: SHE SAVED HIM CAN YOU SAVE HER. Was this scrawled message a suicide note or a killer's taunt? 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. But who would stage either a suicide or a murder in such a bizarre, elaborate way? Award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother weaves stunning new details into a personal yet objective examination of the sensational case. She explores its many layers--including the civil suit in which a jury found Adam Shacknai responsible for Rebecca's death, and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department bombshell decision to reconfirm its original findings. As compelling as it is troubling, this controversial real-life mystery is a classic American tragedy that evokes the same haunting fascination as the JonBenet Ramsey and O.J. Simpson cases.

As Los Angeles County inches towards a possible return to an indoor masking mandate, San Diego health officials are urging similar caution. And as San Diego struggles with yet another spike in coronavirus cases, another virus has also been catching the attention of health officials in recent months. According to CDC, there have been over 750 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the U.S., with over 130 of those in California. Plus, the true-crime mystery of the 2011 death of Rebecca Zahau in Coronado took another turn late last week. The Zahau family dropped its lawsuit requesting unreleased documents about the case from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Instead, family members say they are now preparing to formally request the Medical Examiner to reclassify the death of 32-year old Zahau from suicide to homicide or undetermined. Also, people who've served time in prison often face big obstacles when they get out. But there are several programs in San Diego County that aim to help make that transition easier. Then, the suicide crisis among military veterans is a well-documented and deeply complicated phenomenon. This same issue among active duty servicemen, however, is increasing at an alarming rate in recent years. Finally, the KPBS podcast Port of Entry is back with new episodes. This time with a series of stories on how the border can change minds.

Rebecca Zahau was a likable, vibrant, beautiful young lady who was looking to make a living on her own in Arizona in the late 2000s.  She found a job she loved and soon after found a man she loved even more - Jonah Shacknai. Jonah was an extremely wealthy CEO of a pharmaceutical company based out of Arizona, but Rebecca didn't fall for his money.  In fact, it wasn't for months that her family even realized he had money.  They shared similar passions and loved to just grab life by the horns.  Soon she was living with her dream hunk in a giant mansion outside of San Diego.  However, within a few months of moving in, Rebecca was found dead.  She had apparently hung herself.  Suicide.  Or was it? One determined lawyer was able to dig up a tremendous amount of evidence that Rebecca's death may have actually been a suicide.  Listen and decide what you think really happened.SHOW NOTESRebecca Zahau, An ID Murder Mystery (2019) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Rebecca_Zahauhttps://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2021/04/30/judge-may-kill-public-records-lawsuit-brought-by-zahau-family-vs-sheriff-gore/https://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2021/07/12/10-years-ago-rebecca-zahau-saga-began-with-a-bound-body-beneath-a-balcony/https://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2021/12/01/analysis-public-records-case-offers-chance-for-new-data-on-zahau-death/https://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2019/02/06/zahau-saga-ends-with-family-agreeing-to-insurance-settlement/https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/psychic-reads-bed-used-in-the-death-of-rebecca-zahau-coronado-mansion-adam-jonah-max-shacknai/509-317c3328-13ac-4e91-a41f-31476e232265https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/07/rebecca-nalepa-mug-shot-san-diego-bizarre-hanging-death/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10696491/

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.

Le 13 juillet 2011, à Coronado, en Californie, le corps d'une jeune femme est retrouvé pendu, nu et attaché, au balcon d'un manoir luxueux de la ville. Cet événement bizarre survient seulement deux jours après un autre incident tragique, au même endroit. Etait-ce un suicide ou un meurtre ? C'est l'histoire des morts du manoir Spreckels.

In Part 3 of The Rebecca Zahau Case, I try to rationalize how and why Rebecca would have committed sucide. The Zahau family disagrees with the sucide theory and brings a civil case against Adam Shacknai to prove that her death was a murder. This sparks the public's interest and the Sheriff's Department finally agrees to review their investigation. Stay tuned to hear their findings. Hope you enjoy this episode!

“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 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.

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.
