Rebecca Nalepa’s Knots May Solve Case
LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Rebecca Nalepa was found with her hands and legs bound. Those knots may now solve her case, investigators told news today. Rebecca Nalepa (photos below) aka Rebecca Zahau was found with her arms still bound behind her back in one knot, and her feet bound with another knot. She was not hanging in a noose when she was found, even thought that is how Adam Shacknai (photo below) reportedly found her. As detailed on Sunday, most readers contend it would have been physically impossible for Rebecca Nalepa to get into a hanging state unless she utilized certain types of knots. Today, local investigators confirm much the same in a statement to news.
Investigators have yet to confirm the type of knots found on Rebecca Nalepa. But readers assert she would have had to use a form of slip knots that would only require tension to tighten. But what if Nalepa didn’t use slip knots?
Local investigators tell news today that they are looking at just at that subject, specifically what type of knots were discovered on Nalepa’s arms and legs. If investigators were unable to recreate a suicide with the type of knots Nalepa allegedly used, then her death may have been a homicide, or staged suicide.

Nalepa’s clothing could be the other clue. Dr. Mark Kalish, a forensic psychiatrist with thirty years experience, has previously said that women rarely, if ever, hang themselves unclothed. He says the lack of clothing alone suggests someone (incorrectly) staged a suicide.

In a statement to news, Rebecca’s family did not directly comment on her death today. But they did say “Rebecca valued her life and lived her life to its fullest.” She also prided herself on being an inspiration for other young women. Her family said she was a “role model to her younger siblings.”

So why would she remove her clothes and then commit suicide? Family members have previously told news that under no circumstances would Nalepa have committed suicide.

Really??? A role model to young siblings who chases an older well to do guy with weird past relationship history??? Really??? A role model with a felony conviction? What is this family – a bunch of unrealistic crazies???

Rebecca killed herself in a bizarre way to taint the life of her “boyfriend” forever. She was blamed by him and his ex-wife for not watching their son, who later died from a house accident, and she was told to leave. They would never be able to forgive her for the son’s death, whether or not she was responsible for his fall. She had no place to go which would freely support the high-style of living she had become accustomed too. For psychotic and demented revenge.. she made sure no one would ever be able forget her, and her boyfriend would never be able to live in the mansion again.

I think Rebecca was murdered by some people. Why someone brought out her past one
“Felony Case”, she might forget to pay at one time. We should respect the dead and should not bring out her past mistake and blame her. Rebecca had no way to kill herself without a will to her family and hung herself up with her hands and foot bound. I also guess she was choked to die on her neck by killers first before the killer bound her foot and hands. They tried to make a suicide fake scene for the Police.

C’mon, you mean a person with a record can’t be a role model in other areas? Perhaps she was a filial daughter, a loving sister, a caring friend? She just made a foolish choice, and obviously the other foolish choice was picking Shacknai as her partner. All I want to say is, don’t be too judgmental; if you take a good and hard look at yourself, you’d be flawed in many areas too. You need not necessarily need a criminal past to be a pest to society.
There’s a lesson to be learned for the ladies; be content with what you have; don’t be enticed with material gains cos’ at the end of the day, everything comes with a price.

My opinion is this is the dad is full of rage for the woman who let his son go through the accident. Unfortunately the truth- I have to say that if I let someone stay in my house on the condition she is going to cake care of my heir .my precious son and find him in an accident inside the house I would be mad with rage and want to strike the woman who did not watch him enough.The boy is older but the previlege of staying in a multi million mansion comes with real responsibility.
If I had always the feeling that this woman is just there because she likes the lifestyle,and if I as a multimillionaire could get away with it , I would do it.
Unconsciously we have the bias that a “lesser” race life has lesser value.
Its sure the brother or/and contract killer did this either together or alone.
They left the message because they could not unconsciously hide their rage and justification of it.
There is zero chance of anyone being convicted in this case. There would have been little more chance if the girl was from a upper middle class white family which she is not.

So disgusted with this ruling, they really need to reopen this case and explore everything. I hope Dr. Phil puts some pressure on the authorities. There is no way this girl killed herself in such a strange fashion. I honestly think they need to look into who had motive for wanting her gone. Who blamed her for Max’s death ? I think that’s the key here.

Randall, if ever there was a case of a pre-crime confession you wrote it. I know you are placing the motive and means in the head of the ones that did kill her, but seriously, no justification for an accidental death of anyone.
There is one reason they are giving the killers a break, and it ain’t pretty.

I have not heard anymore about this since the Dr. Phil airing. I can’t believe more hasn’t been done to Shacknai, or those clouded in suspicion. This poor girl’s family deserves closure. There is no way she killed herself. They need to relook closely and carefully at those they have said aren’t suspects when they indeed should be.
