Ep. 23: Rebecca Zahau

This week, I'm flying solo to bring you a deep dive into one of the most perplexing cases I've ever encountered: the confounding death of Rebecca Zahau. Found nude, bound, and hanging from a balcony at the historic Spreckels Mansion, her death was ruled a suicide by police. But Rebecca's family and independent experts fiercely dispute this, uncovering shocking evidence that points to something far more sinister. Join me as we unravel the knots of this bizarre mystery, where the official narrative clashes with a relentless pursuit of justice.
