Lawsuit Claims Murder in Calif. Mansion Death

 

SAN DIEGO July 14, 2013 (AP)

The family of a woman whose nude, bound body was found hanging at a California mansion has filed a $10 million lawsuit claiming she was murdered.

The suit was filed Friday in federal court by the family of 32-year-old Rebecca Zahau and seeks general and punitive damages. Zahau was found hanged at a Coronado mansion in July 2011. Her death was ruled a suicide.

But Zahau's family always believed her death was suspicious. The lawsuit claims Adam Shacknai and Dina Shacknai, the brother and ex-wife of Zahua's boyfriend, Jonah Shacknai, and Dina Shacknai's twin sister, Nina Romano, were responsible for the woman's death. The filing of the lawsuit was first reported by U-T San Diego (http://bit.ly/1aD6eO9).

Authorities said Zahau killed herself because she was distraught over a fatal fall that Shacknai's 6-year-old son suffered at the house two days earlier. His death was ruled accidental.

Adam Shacknai was staying in a guesthouse at his brother's historic Spreckels mansion at the time of Zahau's death, the U-T reported. Dina Shacknai was staying in a separate vacation home a few blocks away, and Nina Romano had flown in from Sacramento to be with her sister.

Adam Shacknai told police he found Zahau hanging by a rope from a second-story balcony at the mansion, and cut her down. Her hands were bound behind her back, her feet were bound and a T-shirt was wrapped around her lower face.

I remember this, of course it was murder. I'm sure who ever ruled it a suicide was bought off or threatened in some way.

If Houdini committed suicide , it MIGHT look like that, but I doubt it. You know what they say> Follow the money.

Oh yeah...this is suicide...."ASSISTED SUICIDE" better known as MURDER! How could THIS have fallen through the cracks of justice?! Except...like someone said...SOMEONE must've been paid off. And who knows, maybe the boy was murdered as part of the plot.
