Description
One of San Diego’s most infamous cases will be back in the spotlight Thursday, eleven years later. Rebecca Zahau was found dead at the Spreckles Mansion in Coronado in 2011. Her family maintains it was not a suicide and will hold a news conference with their attorney to discuss a new petition.
Attorney Keith Greer and Rebecca Zahau’s family will discuss the family’s petition being served on the San Diego Medical Examiner and the prior San Diego Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Jonathan Lucas, to change the cause of death on Rebecca Zahau's death certificate to "homicide" or "undetermined."
Zahau's family sued Adam Shacknai for wrongful death and in 2018, a civil jury in San Diego found Shacknai responsible for Zahau's death. Despite the verdict, then-Sheriff, Bill Gore did not reopen the criminal investigation - still insisting it was a suicide.
