Hi MyBelle, it seems to me that the Zahau family is in denial about Rebecca's suicide. On the day Rebecca was found, Mary refused to even consider that it could have been a suicide, and made up her mind right then that it was a murder. I don't think anything the SDSO could have said would have changed her mind. They even flew to Missouri to give her the news in person. I really do feel for her, as I know a suicide when there are no warning signs is hard to accept. But I do think she is in denial big time. IMO.
Also, these are just a few of the many comments that were made about the SDSO. If the SDSO did not cooperate by going back into the mansion with Bremner's team, it is only because Mary said she did not want "them to touch her sister's case again at all".

Nalepa said he no longer trusts the investigators. We were pretty positive they were looking at the possibility of a homicide, the nursing student said. It doesn't look like they ever did."

Becky did not kill herself, someone killed her, Snowem Horwath, Rebeccas sister, exclusively claimed to RadarOnline.com. Time will reveal who killed Becky. I think I know who killed my sister. We are not stupid, she never had any enemies.
Horwath would not reveal who she believes killed her sister, but she disputed the evidence the police told her family they used to determine Rebecca killed herself. They do not have enough evidence to say it is a suicide, it is such a big lie, Horwath alleged, noting that the family felt that there were many holes in their theories.

The family wants justice. The police have a duty to fully investigate the case and we dont want them to close the investigation today. The family does not believe it was a suicide.

Mary Zahau, Rebecca's sister tells RadarOnline.com: "Jonah told my husband, on the day that Becky died, that she had killed herself. Jonah tried to reach me, but got my husband on the phone first to give us the horrible news that Becky had died.
"When my husband had told me what happened, that Becky had supposedly killed herself, well, I knew there was no way that was true. Becky never had a history of depression, or suicidal tendencies."

Cops said one of the reasons Rebecca might have killed herself was because she had been depressed in recent months. "If my sister was indeed so depressed, why did Jonah let her take care of Max? Rebecca spent so much time with Max, she would drive him from school to soccer practice all the time. It just doesn't make sense," Mary states.
The Zahau family wants cops to re-open Rebecca's case, "my sister didn't kill herself, Becky never would have done that," Mary Zahau says.

Dr. Phil added, though, that he is confident that Sheriff Bill Gore, who declined to participate in the show, would passionately and vigorously re-open the case if persuasive new evidence arises.
Zahau Loehner and another of Zahau's sisters believe she was killed and have publicly derided the Sheriff's department for concluding that she committed suicide.

After Wecht shared his conclusions, Bremner and Zahau's sister, Mary Zahau Loehner, repeated that they would seek a new investigation, but not by the Sheriff's department.
I would prefer that they not touch my sister's case any more at all, Zahau Loehner said.
