A Hanging at the Beach House:
Female Suicide or Murder?

Coronado, California is as close to a perfect place to live as you will ind in the
world. It features a beautiful beach, safe streets, great shops and restaurants, a
well-known playhouse, golf courses, a sweeping blue harbor bridge that attaches
it to San Diego, and the historic Hotel Del Coronado. The city is bordered on both
sides by the US Navy SEAL Team base and Naval Air Station North Island, where
President Obama lands when he arrives on Air Force One to visit San Diego. If
you can afford to live there - and small houses start at over one million dollars - it’s
paradise.
The Coronado police department protects and serves visitors and tourists, longtime
residents, retired military oficers, and new and old moneyed people. (John
McCain’s wife, Cindy, owns a beach view condo in Coronado). With about 45
sworn members, it keeps the peace in a largely peaceful city. So on July 13, 2011,
when a young woman was found dead on the grounds of a $12 million Coronado
house (known as the Spreckels mansion, after a founding father of the city of
San Diego) owned by a rich entrepreneur, they called in the San Diego Sheriff’s
Department homicide unit to help them investigate.
