REBECCA NALEPA'S SISTER: 'IT WASN'T SUICIDE'

MURDER OR SUICIDE?

THE SISTER of a woman found hanging at a millionaire's mansion with her arms and legs bound refuses to believe that she committed suicide.
Mary Zahau-Loehner said she spoke to her sister Rebecca Zahau, also known as Rebecca Nalepa, the day before her death and she had given no impression that she intended to take her own life.
Instead they had talked about Jonah Shacknai's son, Max, who had been seriously injured, when he fell down the grand staircase of the 27-room mansion and sadly passed away Monday.
Zahau-Loehner told ABC News: "Rebecca was a beautiful, vibrant, loving and kind person and she would never do this to herself.
"She was going to call mom and dad the next morning and text me throughout the day with updates on Max. She was very hopeful. She had to be strong and there for Jonah."
She added that her sister had always seemed very happy with Shacknai, who founded pharmaceutical giant Medicis which makes dermatological and aesthetic pharmaceutical products and took $700million in revenue last year.
Autopsies are being conducted on both bodies and the San Diego sheriff's office said today it's unclear if the boy's injuries are related to Zahau's death - although it was rumored she was supposed to be looking after the boy when he fell.
San Diego sheriff spokesman Roy Frank said: "Our investigation would include Max's incident. As far as if they are related, that's something we are just going to have to wait and see."
They are also trying to  determine whether Zahau, was murdered or it was in fact suicide, although initially called her death, "very suspicious." 
Franks added: "We have had other cases in the past where people have used creative ways to commit suicide including people whose hands were tied behind their back."

NO SEX RAP FOR KY. TEACHER WITH SEMI-NUDE STUDENT

SHE may have been caught with a semi nude 17-year-old male student in her car, but astonishingly teacher Carrie Shafer has not been charged with sex crimes. Instead the 38-year-old is facing a felony charge for custodial interference for keeping the teen after school without parental permission, according to the station. She also reportedly pleaded not guilty to unlawful transaction with a minor for providing the teen with alcohol, a misdemeanor.
Louisville Metro Police spokesperson Dwight Mitchell told WLKY: "Upon further investigation (at the time) it appeared to be some used condoms and some wet wipes were outside the vehicle that appeared to come from that vehicle at that point."
But despite initially claiming  Shafer could face a sex abuse charge - even if the
encounter was consensual and even though the teen was above the age of
consent, it seems she will not be charged. 
Shafer's attorney Brian Butler said this law may not have applied to Shafer's situation.
He added: "Yes, it's a teacher. Yes, it's a student, but their contact in the school setting was minimal, or not at all."
Shafer is scheduled for a hearing Monday morning.
