"The Chute" | The Mysterious Death of Phoebe Handsjuk

"The Chute" | The Mysterious Death of Phoebe Handsjuk

In this episode of Super SUS, we cover the case of Phoebe Handsjuk, a 24-year-old woman who was found dead at the bottom of a garbage chute in the Balencea luxury high-rise in Melbourne, Australia, in December 2010. She was twelve floors below the apartment she shared with her much older boyfriend, an events promoter named Anthony "Ant" Hampel. Police closed the case in five days and called it an accident. Phoebe's family never bought it. And the deeper you go, the harder it is to understand how anyone did. This one has details that will genuinely floor you, a family that has spent 15 years refusing to let their daughter's name disappear, and a second young woman connected to Ant who died eight years later in circumstances just as strange.

The Pitt – The Murder of Michael Shaver

This week on Super SUS, we cover the case of Michael and Lori Shaver, middle school sweethearts from upstate New York who built a life together in Clermont, Florida. Michael worked for Disney's monorail. Lori worked from home. From the outside, it looked like the dream. By 2015, the marriage was falling apart. Michael was last physically seen in November 2015, and then things got strange. He became a no-call/no-show at Disney, sent bizarre "I quit" messages, and popped up online just often enough to keep the questions at bay. Lori said he'd walked out on the family and moved on. It took until 2018 for someone to look closer. What deputies found changed everything. Support the show [https://www.supersuspodcast.com/support-us]

How Poop Led to Prosecution – The Attempted Murder of Greg Mulvihill

This week on Super SUS, we cover the attempted murder of Greg Mulvihill, and the genuinely unbelievable piece of evidence that cracked it open. Greg and Diana Lovejoy were a San Diego tech couple, married in 2007. They'd been through a lot together before having a son in 2012. From there things started to fall apart, and by 2014 they'd separated. On September 1, 2016, a phone call lured Greg to a dark trail after dark. What happened next, and how investigators pieced it together, is a story you have to hear to believe. Want to see Diana for yourself?

Deceit and Desperation – The Disappearance of Maya Milette

This week on Super SUS, we cover the disappearance of 39-year-old Maya Millete. On January 7, 2021, a security camera caught her walking into her home in Chula Vista, California. No camera ever caught her coming out. She hasn't been seen since. Maya was a contract specialist at the Naval Information Warfare Center and a mother of three. That same day, she'd called a divorce law office to set up a consultation. The people closest to her say she'd been afraid for a while, and she'd told them as much. What she said about her own safety before she vanished is hard to shake. The case took some turns that almost nobody saw coming. We get into all of it. This one stays with you. ----- If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, you're not alone. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7.

Hell on Wheels: The Mackenzie Shirilla Case (Pt. 2)

We're back with part two, and this is where the "accident" story starts to fall apart. We pick up right after the July 31, 2022 crash in Strongsville, Ohio that killed Dominic "Dom" Russo and Davion Flanagan, and we walk through how this case went from a tragic wreck to murder charges. The turning point is the evidence, and trust us, there's a lot of it. We dig into what the car itself revealed, what investigators pieced together from the days leading up to the crash, and a hospital recording that had everyone talking. Then we get into the trial, the verdict, the sentence, and the defense that tried to explain it all away. We also talk through the Netflix documentary, her continued claims of innocence, and where the two of us land on intent and punishment, because we don't see this one exactly the same way. That's a wrap on "Hell on Wheels." Thank you for sticking with us through both parts. ----- A note on Davion: his family started the Davion Flanagan Memorial Fund, a 501c3 nonprofit, to help others chase the dream he never got to, attending barber school.
