Episode Description
In this two-part episode, Janelle enthralls the SWAC Pack with the case of Phoebe Handsjuk. On December 2, 2010 Phoebe was found dead at the bottom of a garbage chute in a luxury apartment complex having fallen 12 stories. Despite the initial ruling that no third party was involved, many question whether this was a voluntary action. Was Phoebe able to climb into the garbage chute on her own? Was it a terrible accident? Did she die by suicide? Or is foul play more likely?
This week we discuss Phoebe's life and the time leading up to her death, including her mental health, the relationship she was in, and the practical nature of events that occurred that day.
To this day, Phoebe's family is still fighting for answers.
