Rebecca Zahau's death was ruled a suicide by investigators twice, so why did a civil suit brought against her boyfriend's brother show that he killed her? This week, Savannah breaks down the incredibly twisted tale surrounding Rebecca Zahau's hanging. Just the day before Rebecca was found dead, Rebecca was at billionaire Jonah Shacknai's home when Jonah's son Max died in a freak accident. Jonah's family, including his ex-wife, felt strongly that Rebecca was directly responsible for Max's accidental death. The next day, Jonah's brother Adam Shacknai reportedly found Rebecca hanging from a balcony, tied up and gagged, and a cryptic note was found etched on her door. So did Rebecca kill herself due to guilt over Max's death, or did Adam strangle and kill Rebecca as an act of familial revenge?

This week, Savannah explores Alexis' life and death, as well as the main suspect in her death, her husband Tom Sharkey, who committed suicide after being cornered by the police. Tom had changed his story of the night of Alexis' supposed disappearance many times, and moved about the country multiple times after her body was discovered. And many details have since come to light regarding Alexis and Tom's relationship, including the possibility of another man in Alexis' life and the not-so-perfect moments behind the social media posts.
