Not Your Normal Murder

Episode #100 // The Mysterious Death of Rebecca Zahau

 

In 2011, Rebecca Zahau was watching her boyfriend's son when a horrible incident occurred resulting in the son's eventual death. Then, while only Rebecca and her boyfriend's brother were home, Rebecca would be found dead. She was hanging from her balcony, naked and bound at the hand and feet. Police said she was so distraught over the son she ended her own life, but is there enough evidence--or lack of evidence-- to indicate her death was actually murder?

That person was a well-liked nurse, William Davis.
