At 0:52, AS replies "I don't know" in response to "..is she still alive?". I clearly recall watching other videos where - oddly enough - he replies "Are you alive?" as if he was actually asking Rebecca whether she was still alive. Was that in another part of the same call? Or on another 911 call?

And, starting at 2:20, one can see the sign on the guest / sitting room door that is masked on every other photo and video I've previously seen.

These two articles are quite old and may have already been posted to this or to another thread. If that is the case, please blame it on this site's extremely limited, time consuming search capabilities and the myriad posts and threads.

BTW, just ignore the photos of the Spreckels Mansion in San Francisco. It is still worthwhile reading for reasons I am not yet ready to explore and discuss.

Media thread is closed so I am posting this here.

Here is an article that disucsses the McStay family's frustration with SDSO and cites RZ's case among others.

http://www.10news.com/news/father-o...d-over-handling-of-missing-family-case-111513

How do these SDSO investigations go so wrong? It's such a tragedy.

From your link

McStay said he has no faith in law enforcement and believes the San Diego County Sheriff's Department missed important clues in the investigation. He said he told sheriff's investigators about three people that could be connected to the disappearance of his son's family, but feels he was ignored.

"I've been consumed with knowing something happened to them. The San Diego Sheriff's Department is only doing whatever they felt they could do that would fit with their little theory and prove that they voluntarily walked away. The only thing you ever heard out of them or you ever saw was that," McStay said. "I have to hang on to the anger because the anger keeps me from cracking up … I think it hasn't really sunk in."

"All I've been screaming for was a thorough competent investigation. Take it out of their hands because they're corrupt and that's what I've been screaming. Four years I've been telling everybody," McStay added.

Once again the family's "grief" is being pointed out. Below is a quote from that article. This is the same excuse that was used against the Zahau family who criticized the SDLE. Shoddy shoddy police work. I sure hope Gore retires soon and or his political buddies quit protecting him. Shameful.

"Patrick McStay called the investigation into the disappearance "inept" and "incompetent."

On Friday, 10News reporter Michael Chen asked sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Caldwell, "He calls the sheriff's department 'incompetent.' How do you respond to that?"

"I think there's a lot of grief in that statement," said Caldwell."
 
As two tragic deaths fade from memory, the owner of the historic Spreckels mansion on Coronado’s Ocean Boulevard has raised the asking price to $17.9 million in reaction to sustained interest and limited supply of such properties.


The house is known locally for the accidental death in July 2011 of Max Shacknai, 6, son of owner Jonah Shacknai, and the apparent suicide two days later of Rebecca Zahau, 32, the owner’s girlfriend.

$10M suit: Zahau was beaten, gagged and strangled - 8/1/2014

On July 8, Keith Greer, the Zahau family attorney, filed an amended complaint, claiming that Dina and Nina aggressively confronted Rebecca at the mansion just before she died. The documents allege that an argument escalated to an attack. The Zahau's family said they had her body re-examined and reportedly found signs of foul play, including four blows to the head -- an injury not included in the county's autopsy.

Amended Lawsuit: Rebecca Zahau Beaten, Strangled, Pushed Off Balcony - 8/1/2014

The family’s amended civil lawsuit blames three people in connection with the murder of Zahau. This includes her boyfriend’s brother, Adam Shacknai, the last person to see Zahau alive who also found her hanging body and called officials. It also names her boyfriend’s ex, Dina Shacknai, and Dina’s sister, Nina Romano. The lawsuit details how they allegedly killed Zahau.

Zahau Family's Wrongful Death Lawsuit Moves Forward

The suit claims Rebecca Zahau's 2011 death was a murder, not a suicide

The wrongful death lawsuit filed in the case of Rebecca Zahau, whose body was found hanging at a historic Coronado mansion, will move forward, a federal judge ordered this week.
