In 2008, Zahau was living in Scottsdale, Arizona and married to a man named Neil Nalepa. At this time, she started dating 50-year-old Jonah Shacknai, the CEO and founder of Medicis Pharmaceutical Company. The single mogul with a pair of former wives, lived in Scottsdale. In 2011, Shacknai moved into an historic mansion in Coronado, California that had been built in 1908 by John D. Spreckel. Mr. Spreckel owned the nearby Hotel del Coronado as well as other southern California real estate. The 13,000 square-foot dwelling featured 27 rooms and a guest house.
In February 2011, Rebecca divorced Neil Nalepa, and moved into the San Diego County mansion with Jonah Shacknai and his 6-year-old son from his second wife. The 32-year-old live-in girlfriend worked as a technician in an ophthalmologist's office.
On July 11, 2011, Rebecca Zahau and her visiting 13-year-old sister Xena were in the Coronado mansion looking after 6-year-old Max Aaron Shacknai. That morning, Rebecca called 911 to report an accident. Max, while running down an elevated hallway or balcony above the lobby-like entrance to the house, had gone over the banister. Next to his body lay the large chandelier that had hung from the ceiling not far from where the boy had fallen. Investigators with the Coronado Police Department assumed the boy had grabbed the chandelier to break his fall. He suffered spinal cord injuries and serious head trauma, and had slipped into a coma.
