[AdSense-A]

On July 11, 2011, 6-year-old Max Shacknai suffers a fatal fall in his father’s Coronado home while under the watch of his father’s girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau. Tragedy strikes a second time when just two days later, Rebecca’s body is found naked, bound and gagged, hanging from a balcony of the same mansion. Police suspect guilt over Max’s death drove Rebecca to take her own life, but a myriad of peculiar clues and troubling evidence suggest a more sinister possibility. Was Rebecca Zahau murdered? Leading true crime network Investigation Discovery (ID) examines the troubling case from top to bottom in REBECCA ZAHAU: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY. The latest installment from the network’s breakout hit MURDER MYSTERY franchise, REBECCA ZAHAU dissects each piece of evidence to decipher the truth behind Rebecca’s mysterious death. The two-hour special event premieres Monday, May 27 at 9/8c, only on ID.

“Rebecca, Jonah, and Max had seemingly picture-perfect lives in a seaside estate in sunny California – but, that American dream quickly became a living nightmare,” said Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel and Destination America. “There are so many unanswered questions surrounding this death that, as America’s leading investigation network, we feel compelled to present a comprehensive look at whether justice has been served in this still mystifying case.”

REBECCA ZAHAU: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY takes viewers on a journey inside the relationships of the deceased, their loved ones and the dogged search for answers that continue to haunt law enforcement and family alike. Told through all-new and exclusive interviews with family members, investigators and law enforcement officers who worked the case, REBECCA ZAHAU re-examines the case from the very beginning in hopes of finding the answers Rebecca and Max’s families so desperately seek.
