From the outside, life seemed to be going good for Phoebe, until the day that she was found dead in the garbage compactor room of that luxurious high rise apartment building. Every thing about this case is foul from the start; the odd manner of her death, the police investigation, and the coroner's inquest and conclusions. It is clear to Phoebe's family, many experts, and the special counsel to the coroner that the evidence doesn't support the conclusion made by the police and coroner. All her family wants is justice for Phoebe and having the guilty party be held accountable, however that is becoming more distance due to the police's apathetic attitude during the investigation. We discuss what is known about the day Phoebe died, the gross negligence throughout the case, and the lengths that her loved ones have gone through to shine more light on getting the truth. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The time was 1972. The place, New York. Life seemed to be as ordinary as it gets for the neighborhood of Harlem. Children played in the streets and people just living their every day lives until a string of brutal murders against local children started happening.

Known by children and then by the media as Charlie Chop-Off, his grotesque style of murder has anger, fear, and tension building throughout the area.
