In December 2010, 24-year-old Phoebe Handsjuk was found dying at the bottom of a garbage chute in her luxury Melbourne apartment building. She had fallen 12 floors. At the bottom, a trash compactor nearly cut off her foot, and she bled to death alone. Despite finding blood and smashed glass inside the apartment she shared with her boyfriend, Antony Hampel, police treated her death as a suicide. A coroner later ruled it an accident. He found that Phoebe had mixed alcohol with sleeping pills, sleepwalked out of her apartment and climbed into the chute feet first. But the chute opening was barely wider than a microwave, about one meter off the floor, with a heavy door that closed on its own. And Phoebe's fingerprints weren't anywhere on it. Even when tests showed an athletic woman of Phoebe's size could barely squeeze into the slot on her own, her boyfriend was never treated as a suspect. Then, eight years later, another young girlfriend of Antony Hampel was also found dead. Police again treated it as a suicide. Hampel said he was at an event in the city at the time, and a coroner found her death was not suspicious. He has never been charged in either death. Phoebe's family still doesn't believe she climbed into that chute on her own.
