## Resource

On July 13, 2011, 32 year old Rebecca Zahau was found hanging nude from a balcony with her hands and feet bound at the Spreckels Mansion in California. Her death was ruled a suicide by authorities however, Rebeccas family has long contested the ruling, believing she was murdered. The case remains a topic of debate, with questions surrounding the evidence, conflicting forensic reports, and suspicions about foul play.
