There appears to be yet another mystery in the Rebecca Zahau death case, involving an unknown set of footprints on the balcony that cops claimed Rebecca jumped to her death from, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. Rebecca's family refuses to accept that she killed herself, and have asked authorities to re-open the case.

Rebecca’s naked body was found hanging from the balcony at her billionaire boyfriend Jonah Shacknai's mansion in Coronado, CA. (a suburb of San Diego), two days after his son, Max, 6, was found unconscious at the base of the stairs. Max later died from his injuries.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Check Out The Mysterious Balcony Footprints

Dr. Maurice Godwin, a forensic expert hired by the Zahau family, reveals exclusively to RadarOnline.com that there is a mysterious set of footprints on the balcony that are unaccounted for.

The San Diego Sheriff's Department has previously said that there were an extra set of footprints on the balcony, but they were from one of their own officers.

But, according to Godwin’s examination, there was ANOTHER set under the supposed officer’s footprints: "It appears to me that the officer stepped on top of another print based on this photograph. This indicates that a second person was on the balcony with Rebecca," Dr. Godwin says.

The renowned expert has harsh criticism for the San Diego Sheriff's Department's handling of Rebecca's investigation. "One of the major crime scene mistakes was to step on the balcony before completely photographing and video taping it. Also, the police did not scale Rebecca's prints with a tape measure. No doubt the police should have been wearing booties," Dr. Godwin asserts.

Jonah Shacknai used to tell his ex-wife all the time "I can choke and kill you and get away with it" Since the death of his beloved girlfriend he has yet to say one "loving" thing about her.

When any women loses their right and entitlement to a mans child support, this kind of thing is expected due to their emotional response to their income going away!

I think the wife was upset about her child's death, but I'm sure she got a boatload of money in child support. Why haven't the boyfriend talked to anyone? There is just something so sinister about this whole scenario.

All they have to do, is call upon the emotional, irrational, Nancy Disgrace following, mental midgets to figure this case out already! They KNOW all the facts and don't need expert opinions, they go off of "FEELINGS"!!!! Rode Lizards.

Look at the contributors list for the DA's re-election fund. Shacknai or his company on the list?

My money is on the last ex-wife and her twin sister (didn't know she had one). The ex was ready to lose what chance she had left for more money and a reconsiliation once the ex-husband was to remarry

what's sad is.. we have RO to thank and no other websites nor that city making it in the news (that I know of). Hopefully this destroys that department.

so now 2 crimes have been committed. one by the police and sheriff's dept as well. jonah sure paid them off for his low life brother who was right there and responsible for her death. he did it for jonah, who blamed her for his son's accident.

Sounds amateurish to walk all over other people's footprints as well as not even measuring the corpse's footprints as well. Same goes w/ that stupid video that shows a woman only roping herself, but not the OTHER stuff that was found on the body.
