Page 270 - On Feb. 21, 2012, Sheriff Bill Gore's special assistant and chief attorney, Robert Faigin, sent a letter to one of the Zahau family attorneys, Martin Rudoy.
"At the beginning of the meeting, you and your partner, Mr. Fleck, were advised that the investigation into Rebecca Zahau's death was closed, and that the manner of death was listed as a suicide...The purpose of the meeting was to provide you and your partner an opportunity to provide all evidence that you had. The meeting lasted three hours, with all but a few minutes of the time being utilized by you and your PowerPoint presentation."
Faigin criticized that presentation because he considered it to consist of numerous theories on things that "could" or "might" have happened, but felt there was no actual evidence.
Page 271. "[Your] theories included a "confidential informant" who befriended Adam Shacknai after the incident in question...who allegedly told your investigation in an unrecorded statement that Adam Shacknai confessed to her that he was returning home when he discovered Ms. Zahau's body, as opposed to finding her after he woke up. Without even going into the evidentiary value of the unrecorded, hearsay statement, it does not impact the conclusions in the case. If in fact true, it would exonerate Mr. Shacknai, as he would not have been home at the time of Ms. Zahau's death.
Based on the above, nothing has been brought to light that necessitates reopening the investigation into the suicide of Rebecca Zahau."
