Meet: Adam Shacknai Jonah Shacknai’s Brother
The terrible tragedy that had been in the life of Arizona pharmaceuticals tycoon Jonah Shacknai is overwhelming on Monday July 11th his 6 year-old son Max died to his injuries after falling down the stairs while was being cared for by his girlfriend Rebecca who just two days after was found dead, Max died on Sunday from his injuries. Adam Shacknai his brother flew to give his support to his brother after Max’s accident, but Adam found more awful news, he was the one who found Rebecca’s nude lifeless body.
54 year-old Jonah Shacknai founded Medicis Pharmaceuticals Corp in Scottsdale, Arizona on 1988 he has been the company’s chief Executive and Chairman ever since. Medicis is famous for many products mostly for Dysport, (botox competition), Restylane (Anti Wrinkle), Ziana and Solodyn (acne treatment).
32 year-old Rebecca Nalepa or Rebecca Zahau an ophthalmic technician at Horizon Eye Specialists & Lasik Center she worked there until last December, her former boss she quit her job to focus on her boyfriend and his children (three from two previous marriages)
Rebecca was found by Jonah Shacknai’s brother Adam he saw her hanging nude from a second story balcony in the mansion, her hands and feet bound. The only person who was at the house was she and her brother in-law Adam Shacknai, he was staying at the guest house he saw Rebecca nude body hanging from the balcony at about 6:30 am, he ran to help her when he saw her there and in an attempt to save her life he cut her down but it was in vain she was dead he called called 911 around 6:48 a.m. Is Adam a suspect of Rebecca Zahau’s death?
Although her death is way too weird he is not at least not for now, police said Adam Shacknai has been very cooperative and experts said that in their years of experience they know that a person who is hanged ha about 4 to 8 minutes in which someone can resuscitate them, perhaps Adam thought he could do that.
“I know from past history of suicide cases that somebody can be revived between four to eight minutes after such an incident so maybe he thought she could be saved and that is why he cut her down. But this is such an unusual case in such an up-market area like Coronado and there are clearly still a lot of unanswered questions. The detectives involved in the case will be working around the clock to solve this mystery.”
Adam Shacknai lives in the area of Midtown Memphis area, he flew from his home to his brother’s side as soon as he heard about Maxie’s accident..
“Adam arrived after Max’s accident, Adam was there to provide comfort to his brother, Jonah. Adam came as soon as he could to be with his brother. Max was hospitalized on July 11, and taken off life support on July 17.”

Give me a break. Ruled a suicide? Do the police expect us to believe that? Adam Shacknai shows up and Rebecca dies? Hmmm.. Loud music at the house the night before to cover up the screams? Hmmm.. She ties her hands BEHIND HER BACK and her feet without any help? Hmmmm.. She’s nude? Hmmmm.. What woman would allow her nude body to be displayed in the open for others to see? Hmmmm.. Yeah cops, I’ll just keep drinking that spiked Kool-Aid you’re pouring down our throats. I COULD SOLVE THIS CASE AND IT DEFINITELY WASN’T A SUICIDE.
This is not a vendetta case. It is so sad as the only way having stairs like that myself is if the six year old climbed the bannister and fell. Kids do that.
The issue is no man should go and find torture in a house that has a child dying. Unless it is jealousy and revenge as the note says. Sex and sadism is not suicide. A killer is at large. The bible says ‘do not covert and some did.
