Crime Clueless

She Didn’t Slip Into That Chute – Phoebe Handsjuk

JLCK Productions

When 24-year-old Phoebe Handsjuk was found dead at the bottom of a luxury apartment building’s garbage chute—missing a shoe, her foot nearly severed, and surrounded by trash—the official word was “accidental death.” But… excuse us, what now? In this head-scratching episode, we dive 12 stories deep into a case that makes zero sense the more you learn about it. Was Phoebe's death a tragic mix of wine, Ambien, and poor judgment? Or was something darker lurking behind the pristine walls of the Balencea apartments?

Join us as we untangle bizarre text messages, broken glass, a very questionable boyfriend, a mysterious shrine of candles, and a trash chute that basically requires an Olympic gymnast to climb into. We ask the questions the official investigation didn’t—and we do it with our usual dose of sarcasm, side-eye, and serious respect for Phoebe.

Grab your true crime goggles and maybe avoid high-rises for a while… this one’s a wild ride.
