About this listen
The call came on the morning of July 13, 2011, from the historic Spreckels Mansion, a lavish beachfront property in Coronado, California, owned by pharmaceutical tycoon and multimillionaire Jonah Shacknai. When authorities arrived, they found the naked body of Jonah's girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau gagged, 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. On a bedroom door in black paint were the cryptic words: She Saved Him Can You Save Her.
Was this scrawled message a suicide note or a killer's taunt? Rebecca's death came two days after Jonah's six-year-old son, Max, took a devastating fall while in Rebecca's care. Authorities deemed Rebecca's death a suicide resulting from her guilt. But who would stage either a suicide or a murder in such a bizarre, elaborate way?
Award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother weaves stunning new details into a personal yet objective examination of the sensational case. As compelling as it is troubling, this controversial real-life mystery is a classic American tragedy that evokes the same haunting fascination as the JonBenet Ramsey and O.J. Simpson cases.

Empathetically written about such horrid events
Thank you Caitlin Rother for showing sense whilst writing about this case.
You've avoided the nasty sensationalism that often goes with this story.
I have to say I did have to pause ans shed a few tears.

Intriguing but repetitive
A fascinating but ultimately unresolved mystery which had me changing my mind back and forth about what could have happened. it could have been shorter and less repetitive. in the end, it felt like an unsatisfactory conclusion. I didn't want to hear from the author about how he great she is and the awards she's won.
