Rebecca Nalepa - suicide or murder? #3

[lauriej]

I hope this question is not too off topic and I know it is old news, but when I first heard of this suspected suicide they said her hands and feet were bound. I have never heard an explanation as to how she hung herself if her hands were bound. Did this fact turn out to be reported incorrectly or what was the explanation given as to how this could be done? tia

--one 'explanation' was that she could have tied her own feet---then her hands---next put her feet into the cirle created by her arms/hands--thereby her hands would now be behind her back.

police will probably want to talk to Shacknai’s ex-wife, Dina Flores, who also lives in Coronado, and the second family that rents the guest house attached to the house.

This can't be right, can it? Would he rent out a guest house, while he was there ????
Reminds me of the link I posted that 2 woman we taken away in a squad car and never heard from.(neighbor report)

I thought Dina's former name was Romano.....how many guest houses are there? I thought AS was staying in the guest house...

Could this be a guesthouse at Dina's place? That's how I first read it.

Haunted by the fact that RN was in this big mansion by herself. I still don't understand why AS was called to come to town and stay in the guest house. I don't know why the statement of where JS was at the time is still not answered. I don't believe RN committed suicide. I hope we learn more this week.

snipped for space:

Adam could have been there for a couple of reasons.
Help if he was needed.
A male at the home for protection from invasion.
Best time to rob someone is when you know the whereabouts of the occupants, ie: Funeral/hospital/vaction.

Since they are sticking to the no cameras story.
Of course, it didn't take long for them to leave town and post a security guard, did it.

I think its interesting that the article touts how JS returns calls himself and does not use a PR firm...how hands on he is...yet he is s-i-l-e-n-t now...and has hired a PR firm to speak for him.

Oh, that could be.

I read two huge quest houses (somewhere)
And yes, I wondered about the last name too.

One bite at a time, is all I can handle in this case. :banghead:

SO...Dina Romano is Dina Shacknai is Dina Flores...

The boy remains in hospital and Ms Romano said her daughter, Dina Flores, has been with ex-husband Shacknai at his bedside every day.

Was she remarried? I remember the report on 2 women in a squad car...but as for 'renting' the guest house, could they simply be referring to AS staying there?

An older report, posted July 13th/updated July 15th:

Nalepa's live-in lover, 54-year-old entrepreneur Jonah Shacknai, was not at the estate, known locally as the Spreckels Mansion, when the death was reported, Curran said. The captain declined to discuss the executive's whereabouts at the time or in the hours that followed, though he said investigators had been "in constant contact" with the businessman.

You hear your love, the woman in your life, has been found HANGING and DEAD at your home, wrapped in electrical cord...do you RUN to her? Or do you "stay in constant contact" with investigators?

Nalepa, who sometimes went by her maiden name, Zahau, had been staying in the mansion with her boyfriend, and Adam Shacknai was residing in one of the guest homes on the grounds. The property owner's brother apparently was the only other person at the estate with the woman at the time of her death, Curran said.

Makes it sound rather non-committed, to me...

 

[pferrin]

I am really confused now..Flores?????? I thought dina's mom name is romano..and dina had taken her name back. Goodness gracious so many names to keep up with. I go out to garden for couple hours and yall have all knds of new info.

I still can wrap my head around that RN could have hurt maxie ..I dont know..maybe its just me..it isnt like she is a ICA type person. For me she just knew too much about something ..or jealousy came into play.

I followed those words closely a few times during the press conference when reporters were asking the whereabouts of JS. The officer kept saying he could not disclose his whereabouts at this time, but constantly was in touch with investigators. Then asked again he repeats the same with adding they did not want to impede the investigation, My take was that while the press conference was going on JS was being interrogated.Probally was for a long time too.

I doubt he would be able to run to Rebecca because of the scene being taped.

Neighbours say Shacknai was staying at the mansion with his girlfriend and children.

A second family was renting the property's guest house.

originally posted on the 13th, updated on the 15th:

Zahau was an ophthalmic technician at Horizon Eye Specialists & Lasik Center in the Phoenix area from April 2008 to December 2010, said chief executive Michael Trier.

"Rebecca was a very experienced and skilled technician, who was well respected by her doctors, her co-workers and our patients," Trier said Monday. "We are saddened and troubled by the circumstances of her death.

A pot of flowers stood outside the Coronado mansion Monday with cards in Nalepa's memory.

"It is the way you listened, the way you comforted, the way you related to my every heartache, my every victory, even my losses," read one note. "You were a true friend."

Agreed.

In the articles above her mom is referred to as a "Romano"...I do not think she remarried. I think MAYBE Dina did...?

 

[scorekeeper]

Gosh, Time, this is thread is going so fast....3 pages behind (thanks for thinking I have a good memory :floorlaugh!! I remember something about him being in San Diego but I don't know if it was when Maxie was hurt or after RN was found......I will try to find it....can't promise anything.......

These quotes are foot noted so you have the source (numerically indexed)listed at the end of the summary. I copied the first 10 footnotes to demonstrate how it is listed. It cross references everything to do with the entire story. You might have to navigated around the page until you get the hang of it.

While uploading that pic of Rebecca I saw this one I uploaded a few days ago. I had wanted to bring it to the attention of ya'll to get some opinions...its from 2008, its the cover of the annual report for Jonahs company, can't recall where I found it, might have been in google images; it may have already been posted..

My question? Does this look like Dana Shacknai to anyone else? Remember...it's 2008.

No, unrelated and just a model for that cover shot
