45. Rebecca Zahau: Part One Discussion with Jules, from Riddle Me That! True Crime
from Reverie True Crime · host Paige Elmore
In 2011, a 6 year old boy, Max Shacknai, would take a fall from the second floor banister, and this would set off a chain of events. In the wake of the tragedy, not only this young boy, but also the father Jonah's girlfriend of three years, Rebecca Zahau would be dead. The circumstances of her death left more questions than answers. The official conclusion of law enforcement was suicide. There was also a civil trial, where someone close to the victim was held responsible for her death. The question remains, was this suicide or murder? Listen and weigh in for yourselves. This episode was recorded for Dr. Jules’ podcast, Riddle Me That! True Crime. She’s amazing and I’m happy to bring part one and two to the feed!
