When a beautiful woman named Rebecca Zahau is found hanging naked from a balcony of one of the most expensive mansions in Coronado, California, bound and gagged, authorities are quick to rule her death a suicide. As new, troubling facts emerge about the case, suspicion begins to fall on her brother-in-law, who cut her down and tried to save her as he talked to 911. Nothing is as it seems as airtight alibis slowly unravel, and even the intricate clove-hitch knots she supposedly tied around her wrists are removed from cardboard tubes and presented to a spellbound jury.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Ocean Boulevard

The real estate market has never been hotter. Houses sell as soon as they’re listed. Bidding wars lead to all cash deals far above the asking price. But there is one kind of property that often sits on the market for years, no matter how much of a bargain it seems to be. Potential buyers come and go, the price keeps going down, and still the house stands empty. 
 
In real estate jargon, it’s called a “stigmatized property” because the home comes with a history. An unfortunate one – a horrible death occurred here. But what few people know is exactly what happened.... or why. 
 
Each week, Murder Homes tells the story of a single property. Who lived there? What secrets did they keep, and what did they leave behind? Part history, part murder mystery, this podcast mixes expert interviews, witness accounts, and court records to pull back the curtain on the hidden stories each property has to tell. 
 
Would you be able to live somewhere that seems perfect, if it weren’t for the ghosts of its past?
