Award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother weaves stunning new details into a personal yet objective examination of Rebeca Zahau' s death at the historic Spreckels Mansion, owned by multimillionaire Jonah Shacknai. When authorities arrived at the scene in 2011, they found a gagged Rebecca' s naked body, 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. Rother explores the case' s 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.
