Rebecca Zahau's death was ruled a suicide by investigators twice, so why did a civil suit brought against her boyfriend's brother show that he killed her? This week, Savannah breaks down the incredibly twisted tale surrounding Rebecca Zahau's hanging. Just the day before Rebecca was found dead, Rebecca was at billionaire Jonah Shacknai's home when Jonah's son Max died in a freak accident. Jonah's family, including his ex-wife, felt strongly that Rebecca was directly responsible for Max's accidental death. The next day, Jonah's brother Adam Shacknai reportedly found Rebecca hanging from a balcony, tied up and gagged, and a cryptic note was found etched on her door. So did Rebecca kill herself due to guilt over Max's death, or did Adam strangle and kill Rebecca as an act of familial revenge?

On the night of September 22, 2006, Cassie Jo Stoddard was housesitting for her aunt. Her boyfriend and 2 classmates, Brian Lee Draper and Torey Michael Adamcik, joined Cassie to watch a movie. Little did Cassie know that she was hanging out with 2 disturbed individuals who had been planning her murder. This week, Savannah explores how Brian and Torey, inspired by the Columbine shootings and the horror film "Scream," plotted and even videotaped their plans for killing Cassie, culminating in them stabbing her to death while she slept. And if it weren't for investigators pulling confessions from them, they likely would have gone on a killing spree. Get 10% Off by visiting BetterHelp.com/instinct!

Carl "Charlie" Brandt seemed to have a normal upbringing when one night he just snapped. Charlie shot and killed his pregnant mother and unborn sibling, wounded his father, then turned the gun to his sister Angela. Luckily, the gun was empty and Angela Brandt was able to escape to a neighbors and call for help, but this would not be the end of Charlie's killing. This week, Savannah details the horrific slayings by serial killer Charlie Brandt and the dark family secret of his killings that were kept from everyone, even Charlie's younger siblings. Charlie didn't serve prison time for killing his mother, and he went on to kill, disembowel and decapitate at least 4 more women in his adulthood before ultimately ending his own life.
