Today I’m going to tell you about The Shacknai Family, the deaths that happened, and the autopsy of what really happened. First, I will give you a brief background of the family. Dina Shacknai was married to Jonah Shacknai and had three kids: Gabby, Ethan, and Max. Dina and Jonah separated when max was three and Jonah got himself a new girlfriend. Her name was Rebecca Zahau . Adam Shacknai, Jonah’s brother, was a close relative of the family. Now I will tell you about the deaths. On July 11th, Jonah Shacknai received a call from Rebecca saying that max had fallen down two flights of stairs and had been rushed to the hospital. Max was then put in a medically induced coma. Dina was very unhappy and blamed Rebecca for poorly watching him. Over the next 24 hours, Max’s condition worsened. On July 13th, Adam Shacknai found Rebecca hanging from a balcony at the mansion Jonah Shacknai owned. Her feet and hands bound, hanging by a rope from her neck, completely naked. Adam immediately called Jonah as soon as he saw this sight. Jonah had been at the hospital with Max all the day before. Jonah rushed home and cut down the rope before the police got there. On the door to the room the balcony was in, there was black paint and with the paint “She saved him, can he save her.” was written. Zahau’s family claimed Rebecca would never have committed suicide even though this is what this scene looked like. Two days after Rebecca’s murder, Max died in the hospital from a horrible head injury. Last I will tell you about the autopsies. It was said that max tripped over a dog or ball and fell over the staircase causing
