^ It is not character assassination to state the true facts of this case.
The TRUE facts are:
- Rebecca's little sister arrived on Sunday for a three week visit.
- Early posters said that she found proof he was cheating on her when Jonah went to the gym.
- Max had his "accident" around 10 am Monday, then he was admitted to the ICU.
- Rebecca said she gave him CPR when she did not.
- Jonah's father and brother, and Dina's sister were called to come if they could.
- Nina arrived Monday evening. Rebecca picks her up, but will not talk about what happened to Max.
- Tuesday morning Rebecca boards the dog. She is quiet and doesn't say much when the dog is picked up.
- She takes her sister shopping, then sends her home - without informing the Detective that was working on Max’s case.
- Tuesday, the Doctors at Rady’s determine that Max's injuries do not match the story that Rebecca gave, and call Child Protective
Services to investigate.
- Adam arrives that afternoon. She picks him up.
- They go to the hospital, then out with Jonah to get something to eat. She is quiet and will not talk about what happened to Max.
- She and Adam get back at 8 pm. The both say they are going to bed and part ways.
- Rebecca sends out some text messages.
- Nina calls her to ask again about Max's accident, butt Rebecca does not call Nina back- even with lttle Max lying in tthe ICU.
Nina comes to the house and knocks on the door, but Rebecca refuses to answer.
- Rebecca takes a shower.
- She gets out of shower and listens to a message from Jonah.
- He probably tells her she is going to be investigated and to move out of the mansion until the investigation is completed.
- She is angry, hurt that Jonah is not standing by her, and does not want to be investigated because she - at the very least - staged the accident scene while Max lay there without air. She wants to make Jonah sorry. She wants to punish him.
- She decides to kill herself like the heroine does in the movie, the Housemaid, and uses her knowledge book she has on "Knot Tying Practices" to tie the knots.
- She completes all the steps in her suicide, then falls over the balcony. The entire sequence probably takes an hour or less.
- She believes that Jonah will come check on her when she does not call him back, and that he will come in the front door and up the stairs and find her crazy note she painted on the door.
- Instead, Adam finds her early the next morning when he steps out into the courtyard to go get some coffee.
- He calls 911, and in a frantic panic, cuts her down at their instructions.
- Medical arrives and she is pronounced dead.
- Mary Zahau contacts Anne Bremner (or vice versa) and tells her to go to as manty news outets she can to say she will never believe it is a suicide just 9 days after the death and before the police investigation has barely even begun. Mary does this with glee.
- Mary and her followers systematically begin to try to frame innocent people for a Civil case.
- The death is fully investigated by four agencies for almost two months and is determined to be a suicide. The physical evidence proves only Rebecca was responsible.
- Mary digs Rebecca up for a sweeps week special, and has a 2nd autopsy performed in a manner that cannot be used in a court of law.
- Anne Bremner has her best friend, Ann Rule write a story about the deaths to serve as propaganda for the Zahaus and spreads many of their lies concerning the case.
- Mary continues to trash the Shacknais in the paper every chance she gets. She, her family, and her followers spend hours daily commenting that Dina is a murderer, and spreading the most evil, depraved, sickening, cruel, and trashy rumors they can about her, her sister, and the entire Shacknai family.
- The Attorney General reviews the case twice and finds no reason to reopen the case.
- Mary runs a campaign that asks "the internet to solve the crime". The one that has already been solved by real detectives.
- She then finds a lawyer that is unscrupulous enough to concoct a salacious and tawdry story and take it to Civil Court for $10 million.
- They then keep delaying the case, and don't even call depositions for almost 1000 days.
- It is clear that the Zahaus have no evidence whatsoever for their preposterous claims. it is also clear from Mary"s deposition that she has an extreme hatred of Dina and Jonah's family that comes directly from Rebecca. It is clear Rebecca was hateful and vindictive towards Dina, and actually resentful of Max.
- It is clear that not only was Rebecca responsible for Max's accident, but that Mary Zahau is now also trying to punish the
Shacknai family for irrational and evil reasons. And $$$$$$$$$$$$$.
So, again, not character assassination at all, just the true story of Rebecca and Mary Zahau.
