My theory is that a few things happened that made RZ feel too depressed and angry at Jonah to continue on with her life. And I think she wanted revenge upon him as well.
My theory is that the 13 yr old girl, whom she sometimes referred to as her daughter, was somehow involved in the incident. There are weird things like about them being on the way to the beach, but the girl is in the shower when it happened. Pretty convenient. And she told odd things to the dispatcher and about the incident--like Maxie said ' Ocean' before he died. I don't believe he was able to say anything after that horrific fall. And she had injuries from the glass that needed treatment, because supposedly she was cleaning up the mess. Why would she be charged with cleaning up a bloody, glass shard filled accident scene? Don't they have help? And she was ushered out of there on the next plane out.
I think that RZ was in an impossible position, trying to cover for her younger relative and still trying to stay with her fiance. But she soon reallsed that she was getting the cold shoulder, not being allowed into the hospital, and Jonah staying away from her.
I think he called her and broke off their relationship and spoke in some ugly ways to her that night.So she decided to stage a murder scene to make his life as miserable as hers was. jmo

Katydid23, I totally agree that Rebecca was sending Jonah a huge message, and that she wanted to punish both Jonah and Dina. I think the last message was him telling her that she would have to speak to CPS, and that the accident didn't seem like it happened the way she said. I think she was extremely angry that Jonah was standing by Max, not her.
I also find many things suspicious about the 13 year old:
- First she was "washing her hair", and that changed to "taking a shower", all before they were going to spend a day at the beach. Why would she take a shower or wash her hair if she were going to the beach?
- Why did X call 911? Why would RZ put a teen on the phone for such an important call?
- Why would RZ call her sister before she called Jonah after Max's accident? Was MZ helping her come up with a story?
- It seems like she would get glass in her hand, not in her leg, if she got the injury while cleaning the glass. The injury was deep enough to require stitches. How did that happen if she was just picking up glass?
- Why was she rushed home immediately instead of keeping her follow-up appointment at the Clinic? Wouldn't she and Mary have wanted her to stay to be with Rebecca during this difficult time?
- Why did she and Rebecca go shopping? What did they purchase? It seems very odd to me that she would take her sister shopping like that while Max was in the ICU. Did anyone see them? What did they purchase? What was their mood? Jovial? Sad?
- Why did Mary take out the stitches instead of taking the 13 year old to a Doctor for a follow-up and to have the stitches removed?
- Why has the Zahau family allowed the rumors about GS and ES to spread and flourish? IMO, X would have know the night before (Sunday night) that GS and ES were leaving around 7 in the morning. She had just gotten there on Sunday. She and GS and ES would have spent some time together. Both she and RZ would have known the day before what time the other teens were leaving on Sunday. By not clearing this up, have they been trying to provide a smoke screen to cover up real teen involved?
- Why have the Zahaus been so reluctant to even state that X was there? Seems like they've tried to keep it a secret, IMO.
To me, there are so many things that prove Rebecca killed herself. I really have no doubt about that at all. But I do wonder WHY. There could be many reasons, but so far, as Mary stated, I don't see Rebecca being overly upset about Max. I find how she hung herself to be full of anger and revenge. Did she hate Dina that much, as some have claimed? And when Jonah was questioning what really happened, did Rebecca take that as some sort of betrayal on his part?
That is what is fascinating about this case. There are so many reasons why she would have done what she did. But unless the messages that she sent and received that day are released, I don' think we will ever know what she was truly thinking. IMO, the texts and calls between her and Jonah tell the tale.
