CORONADO The family of Rebecca Zahau, whose hanging death at her boyfriend’s Coronado mansion was determined to be a suicide, filed a $10 million federal wrongful death lawsuit on Friday claiming she was murdered.
The lawsuit names Adam Shacknai and Dina Shacknai, brother and ex-wife of Zahau’s Arizona millionaire boyfriend Jonah Shacknai, as well as Dina Shacknai’s twin sister, Nina Romano, as defendants. Jonah Shacknai is not named in the suit.
The suit was filed by Zahau’s mother, Pari Zahau, and sister, Mary Zahau-Loehner, in San Diego federal court a day before the two-year anniversary of Zahau’s July 13, 2011, death.
