Everyone is wondering what is going on in California’s historic 27-room Spreckels Mansion where the pharmaceutical mogul behind Botox’s biggest competitor, Jonah Shacknai once lived with his girlfriend and young son.  First his 6-year old son Max died from injuries after falling down a staircase and then two days later his 32-year old wife was found hanging nude from their balcony with her hands and feet tied.  Reports People on this strange twist of events:

Few details of Max’s death have been released, other than he fell down the stairs and wasn’t breathing at his home while Nalepa was on the property and paramedics were unable to save him with CPR. He was buried on Wednesday.

But there came a twist when Nalepa’s body was discovered two days later by her boyfriend’s brother, Adam Shacknai, who was staying in the guesthouse and was the only person home at the time of what officers called “a very violent and very suspicious” death.

Adam had called 911 and told police he cut Nalepa down and tried to save her. Adam is a “prime witness” who has been “very cooperative,” Frank says, adding that he has since left California.

We’re no Perry Mason but something sounds foul here. Rebecca Zahau’s sister Mary has come forward to say there is no way her sister committed suicide….
