Does anyone know if DS had another man in her life? Dating etc. I wonder if H<modsnip> stayed at her house?
..after failing to even mention the 4 subgaleal hemorrhages at the press conference-----news 8 called him out on it once the AR was released..

-------------there you go, he noted them in the AR, thought nothing of them----and she "may" have hit her head causing them to occur.
( thanks for the usual brush-off nothing answer M.E.lucas..)
I agree with you. I also still think RZ was hogtied. Why else is there an extra long segment (7 feet) of rope dangling according to autopsy? Take a look at this picture of woman in hogtie.
<modsnip>
Does this not resemble the description by ME of how her wrists and ankles were tied with figure 8 bindings?
Adam Shacknai had stated that he cut her wrists ties to loosen them. What if he purposefully cut down the rope between the wrist and ankle ties so that the hogtie is destroyed? Had there been a clear hogtie, it would have made RZ's so-called suicide IMPOSSIBLE.
Look also at this alternate version at
<modsnip>
What if RZ was first hogtied and made to kneel in a chair in front of her captor who kept hitting her on her forehead with dogbone to cause the four head contusions? And then when murderer/tormentor grabbed her off chair to lead her to balcony, he accidentally knocked the chair over as he hoisted her over his shoulder. This would be consistent with why wicker chair was knocked over.

Lt. Nesbit said the only way Zahau's phone could be examined would be to dismantle it, and the department deemed that was unnecessary, adding there's "nothing on the phone central to the evidence. We don't have any unanswered questions."
.
..that's twice that nesbitt has said something idiotic about the phone..
http://www.cbs8.com/story/15520745/...us-cell-phone-new-witnesses-accounts-reported
In the early days of the investigation, Jonah Shacknai told detectives he had left the voicemail message, Lt. Nesbit recalled.
"If we could have gotten it (the voicemail), yes, it would have been helpful but it was not critical to the case," said Lt. Nesbit.
..pardon???
..one of THE reasons nesbitt himself gave via powerpoint at the PC as to WHY rebecca suddenly decided to wander around the mansion gathering up various supplies to do herself in------and it "would have been helpful" ???
..( i need a glass of wine).
I hear ya, Lauriej - I'm having a glass of vino right now - I need it, too, lol!
Thank You for pointing that out!

Ai yai yai!
Someone mentioned that DS has a boyfriend, and his daughter posted something about MS brain injury. But, never heard actual name of BF. Anyone know it?
Also recall somthing about him answering DS door at some point... I assumed they that was at the Coronado Island home.
In regards to Howie, it would be interesting to know if he stayed at DS home. He is her AZ neighbor.
At this point Rebecca’s neck experienced the severe jerk of the stretching rope. In approximately 0.2 seconds she went from a downward velocity of 20.7 ft/s to stopped, and then experienced recoil as the load on the rope went to just her static 100 lb weight. Her neck experienced between 8.9 and 10.7 g’s. Her total fall time was between 1.3 and 1.4 seconds and her center of gravity, with the rope stretched under her weight, came to rest 12.8 to 12.9 feet below the railing.
This would have placed her feet at approximately 15.7 to 15.8 ft below the railing. This would have placed her neck at approximately 11.1 feet below the railing, or 6.4 ft above the ground.

Rebecca Zahau case: A Dynamic Loading Analysis of the Fall
..another excellent article by Valhall..
---snipped----
...i am definitely going to take the calculations of an actual rocket scientist---over LE who pulled out their measuring tape to do the calculation at the scene..
...with rebecca's neck only 6'4" inches above the ground----yet more reason that adam did NOT need that table to stand on to cut her down.
...he could easily have supported her body with one arm, reached up (slightly) and cut the rope.
...why did he make a point of telling LE that not only did he drag the table over-----but, it broke ON the way---and yet he stood up on it anyway?
...it sounds more to me that he was working in an "alibi" for there to BE a broken table-------why??

Another great analysis and good points about the table leg!
Val proposed a likely scenario as to why Rebecca's injuries weren't more extensive given the long drop--the movement of the bed absorbed enough of the shock to bring the drop to just under the required amount.
Well done!
Did Rebecca really ever go over the balcony?
Someone said that a painted thumb print was visible under the message on the door. Was a latex glove or paper, or plastic bag used to transfer her painted thumb print to the door?
Or was her own thumb used, explaining the paint on her hand somewhat? I can only imagine the anguish Rebecca must have been feeling, thinking that no one may know she was murdered and that her family might think she killed herself.
