Lash--you are, as always, amazing. Thank you for this!

 

[Carioca]

*Lash* - Absolutely brilliant. Thank you! A tremendous amount of work went into this timeline mapping it out, searching for links, verifying information available. Greatly appreciated. You rock!! :rocker::rocker::rocker:

Max's birthday (June 7th), and Jonah selling stock.......Jonah changing the name of "ENATO" to "HIS GLORY" in March, 2012.

 

[time]

Thank you so much Lash for constructing this timeline. I know this is accurate per what has been said, but I think it is up for debate as to what actually happened (and the timing):

9:55 PM – Nina Romano, after not getting a response from her text to Rebecca, decides to walk to the mansion. Nina wants to talk to Rebecca.

NR Interview - http://ftpcontent.worldnow.com/kfmb/...ina_romano.mp3

10:00 PM – Nina arrives at the mansion. No one answers the door. Nina has a look around the property and sees a light on in the 'suicide room'. Nina returns to Dina's home.

NR Interview - http://ftpcontent.worldnow.com/kfmb/...ina_romano.mp3

10:20 PM – A witness claims to see Dina Shacknai at the Spreckles mansion. SDSO dismisses it as Nina Romano.

http://www.cbs8.com/story/15982091/e...mansion-deaths

10:41 PM – A text message in from Nina received on Rebecca's phone. *This contradicts Nina's claim that the text was sent at 9:41 PM.*

NR Interview - http://ftpcontent.worldnow.com/kfmb/...ina_romano.mp3
RZ's cell phone - http://ftpcontent.worldnow.com/kfmb/misc/zahau_cell.pdf
http://www.cbs8.com/story/15485069/r...-rebecca-zahau

11:30 PM – An anonymous “source” claims to hear someone scream “help” from or near the mansion. SDSO dismisses it as kids on the beach.

Seeing this written out chronologically makes me wonder what really transpired. I now believe that both Nina and Dina were at the house with Dina being seen at 10:20. I always figured that Nina got to the house at 11 (leaving at 10:55) because she sent a text at 10:41pm, but the text could have been sent after she went to the house also or even that Nina went over there quite a bit later or earlier. I guess we should be skeptical about Nina's account that she left the house at that exact time to walk to Rebecca's. It's a little TOO specific and raises red flags. Sending a text or calling Rebecca would help locate her phone - one possible reason to do this. Or locate her within the house. Screams are heard well after this, if the witnesses time is correct.

Given the 10:21 timing, it makes me wonder if someone wasn't in the back scoping things out or entering the house while Dina was seen in the front. This just seems like a tactic that burglars might use.

Also, I don't think we have any time yet for the viewing on the 12th do we? Is that vague enough that it could be between 10-midnight? I'm finding it odd now that we know the computers were in the same room with the balcony (per Ann Rule).

Eureka! If the Asian bondage anime and lesbian were viewed on Becky's computer on 7/12/11 Tuesday night during the time period when Dina was spotted at the Spreckels mansion and Nina herself admitted to being at the mansion, then it is quite clear that it was intentionally planted by Dina or Nina on Becky's computer.

No one contemplating suicide would suddenly start viewing these types of for the very first time on their computer right before they decide to off themselves in an elaborate, absurd, humiliating, disgraceful manner. These types of indicate someone majorly p.o. at Rebecca and who wanted to humiliate her to the max. Such indicate the murderers are people who are jealous of Becky's gorgeous body and wanted to degrade her beauty and make it appear as if Becky's into lesbianism and bondage. The murderers must be women, and Dina and Nina fit this bill. No reason for men to be jealous of Becky's body.

Yeah, the time was viewed is critical. I could believe Adam MIGHT view this kind of , but not after he arrived. That doesn't make sense for a couple of reasons. For one, that would have to be after 8 pm wouldn't it? It seems he has no problem viewing on his own computer and would have no reason to access Rebecca's unless someone was forcing her to watch it, trying to get her to watch it? It really doesn't make sense to me that Adam was viewing this and accessing Rebecca's computer somehow before he arrived that day either.

I think anyone could have driven by the house and have known when Rebecca was gone that day. We know a back door was typically left unlocked now. They may also have known when she was going to be gone for some of the times.

From the timeline Lash has provided, it appears Rebecca must have left home around 3:30 or before and returned home about 8 PM

4:00 PM &#8211; Adam Shacknai is picked up at the airport by Rebecca . He has flown in to support his brother during this tremendously horrible time. Rebecca picked up Adam and dropped off XZ during the same trip to the airport that afternoon.
4:00 PM &#8211; Nina alleges she and Dina drove to the hospital in Dina's car.
6:00 PM &#8211; Adam and Rebecca pick up Jonah and Howard from the hospital. Howard is dropped off at the airport. Jonah, Rebecca and Adam then get some dinner.
8:00 PM &#8211; Dina says she returned to the hospital * A discrepancy in the time Dina returned to the hospital. Detectives are told by Dina 8:00 PM. Jonah tells them 6:00 PM. Nina also alleges 4 PM
8:00 PM - After dinner Jonah returns to the hospital.
&#8211; Rebecca and Adam return home to Coronado mansion.
&#8211; Adam claims this is the last time he saw Rebecca. He went to the guest house, she went to the mansion.
9:00 PM &#8211; Nina leaves the hospital. She uses Jonah's car to drive to Dina's home.

BBM - I'm still trying to make sense of these discrepancies. Anyone have a theory?

 

[time]

Why would Nina borrow Jonah's car to drive home at 9 pm at night if Dina were staying at the hospital? Dina wouldn't need her car. Plus, it appears there were a few people staying in her house that could have either picked up Nina or Dina if they needed.

What strikes me as strange (for one thing) is why was Jonah left without a car?

Another discrepancy is that one version is: that Howard went with them to dinner meaning that Howard, JS, RZ and Adam all had dinner together and THEN Howard was driven to the airport. The OTHER brother stated that Howard got driven to the airport first and that only JS, RZ and Adam went to dinner.
I thought that was a little strange since both brothers were interviewed right away. It's not like their memory got distorted with time. Both brothers had a slightly different version of that evening....

 

[Quester]

I'm confused about all the cars, rental cars and borrowing of cars ...

Whose light gold metallic SUV, IIRC, was photographed in the Spreckels driveway near the garage on the morning RZ was found hanging when LE had secured the property? TIA

Yes, that is quite odd that Adam and Jonah can't get the story straight about whether Dr. Luber ate with them at the fish restaurant or not. Hmm...

I forgot... where was the restaurant? If it was in the airport, I might be able to understand a descrepancy to some extant - and possibly given someone sat but didn't eat or left in the middle. IDK. Otherwise, it seems more strange.

IDK if this is where they went, but AR mentions the Fish Market (capitalized) restaurant in the book.

Here is a link to the one in San Diego, with a North Harbor Drive address. Is that near the airport, or Rady, or where?

.. I listened to police conversations to dispatch for the 11th..this is what I learned this was about 2 weeks ago when I wrote this..

I went on radioreference this afternoon and listen to police archives for july 11..from 10:00 am till about 12:45...my findings..

police and fire dept went to ocean ave a little after 10:00..I believe it was closer to 10:10am. 911 caller said 6 year old girl had fallen down the steps and was not breathing. the caller was hysterical..according to dispatch..gave addy as 1040 rather than 1043. Fire and police call dispatch back when on that block..there is no 1040. Dispatch calls caller and gets correct addy.

They transport Maxie to closer hospital..someone at house had been doing cpr while rescue was on the way. Rebecca calls JS on landline and he gets to hospital er first. 2 females from js house ride with police to hospital.

In the meantime..police go to Ave G to locate DS ..she is not home. They call her home # ..message box full. They said her car was there..they ran the tags.

Thee police tried numerous times to contact her..called lots of numbers went to house several times.

RN and GS meet with js and hospital and about 1 hour from the time of the 911 call..they were taking Maxie to childrens hospital. Police take the 2 females back to JS home..I believe this is RN and GS.

At 12:30 the police went by DS home again and she still was not there..I got tired and came back here..to me this says GS was not swept away..Dad prolly sent both home..didnt want GS to see anymore.

So I do know that DS did not get to hospital first..not sure what time they were able to notify her..I stopped listening at 100pm..hope this helps you.
