    53 The Mysterious Death of Phoebe Handsjuk & The Grisly Death of Alexandra Ayana

    Pt 1: The Suspicious Death or Phoebe Handsjuk

    Phoebe Handsjuk was only 24 years old when her lifeless body was found in the basement of the luxury Balencea high rise apartment she lived in with her boyfriend, Antony Hampel. The coroner stated that she was in a “sleep-walking” like state from a mix of alcohol and Ambien when she climbed into the 12th floor garbage chute and plummeted 12 stories to her death. The circumstances surrounding her apparent “misadventure” are nothing short of strange. Was it an attempted suicide or did something more sinister happen?

    Alexandra “Alex” Anaya was 13 and in the 7th grade when she vanished from her family’s Hammond, Indiana home. It would be 3 days later, her decapitated and limbless torso would be spotted floating in a river. Sadly, Alex’s murder remains unsolved to this day. Anyone with information regarding Alex’s death is urged to call the FBI at (312) 421-6700

    52 The Suspicious Death of Michelle Von Emster & Wendigo

    Part 1: Michelle Von Emster was in her early 20’s when she decided to pack up her life in San Fransisco and move to San Diego to be closer to the beach.
    It would only be a couple years into her stay, that her bruised, bloodied, and mangled body would be found floating face-down in the ocean waters by two surfers.
    The mystery remains… how exactly did Michelle die? Did she commit suicide, fall from the Sunset Cliffs and drown in the ocean, or was she mauled by a Great White Shark when she decided to take a late-night swim in April of 1994? This story seems to have more questions than answers, but we’d love to know your thoughts!

    Part 2: Deep in the forests of Minnesota, along the Great Lakes, and in the wilderness of Canada dwells a horrifying cannibalistic creature that torments those around it. Native American legend describes the Wendigo as a monster with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. You're out hunting with your friends when you get separated... and not too far off into the woods, you hear your friend calling out for you. Of course you go investigate, only to be eaten alive by a 15 foot skeletal ghoul! Is this a real life monster that lurks the snowy forests or is it a cautionary tale about greed and gluttony?

    What Sam expected to be a nice week with his “girlfriend”, ended up being far from it when Emma decided she didn’t feel anything romantic with Sam.

    49 The Bizarre Sheppard Murder Case & Sophie Lionnet: The Au Pair Murder

    49 The Bizarre Sheppard Murder Case & Sophie Lionnet: The Au Pair Murder

    Part 1: In 1954, Dr. Sam Sheppard was awoken by his wife, Marilyn, screaming his name from the upstairs bedroom. When Sam made his way up the stairs to her twin bed, he found her bludgeoned to death by a "bushy-haired white form" looming over her. After his violent encounter with the "form", Sam would be tried for the murder of his wife because, let's be real here, a "bushy-haired white form" doesn't really sound like a real story. After a lengthy trial, Sam would be convicted of 2nd degree murder of his beautiful wife. It wouldn't be until later when new evidence emerged that eventually earned Sam his acquittal. Was Sam telling the truth or did he murder his wife in an attempt to rid her from his life so that he could be with another woman? You tell us!

    Part 2: When the 20 year old shy, reserved Sophie Lionnet was offered a job as an au pair in London, she was over the moon. This would give her an opportunity to improve her English, travel, and work with children. Little did she know, a true nightmare awaited her.

    In this story, what should have been a simple teen lover’s quarrel fueled into something absolutely unspeakable.

    Susan Wright made headlines in 2003 when she stabbed her husband, Jeff, 193 times and claimed self-defense. On this one, we’ll leave it up to you to decide whether Susan was really a battered wife who was at her wits end, or a selfish monster who only wanted her husband’s life insurance policy.
