“He didn’t run. He didn’t panic. He just walked away… like he’d done this before.”

He didn’t leave calling cards.

No dramatic symbols, no cryptic notes, no demands.

He didn’t stalk his victims, not in any way that left a digital trail.

And if anyone saw him at all, he barely made a dent in their memory—just a quiet, white man, average height, maybe in his late 20s or early 30s. Not handsome. Not ugly. Not anything that stuck.

But by the time he killed Nancy Kitzmiller in St. Charles, Missouri, he had already left four people dead across two states in less than a month. And nobody even knew his name.

And these weren’t chaotic scenes.

There were no shattered glass displays, no security alarms, no frantic 911 calls from survivors. Just small businesses. Solitary clerks. One shot. No witnesses. No getaway car burning rubber out of the lot.

He didn’t flee—he left.

Police initially wavered—was this robbery gone wrong? Random violence? But if it was about money, he was really bad at it. The cash drawers were always opened but barely touched. Expensive merchandise? Untouched.

This wasn’t a man who wanted to take something.

This was a man who wanted to do something. Something awful. Something final.

Listen in for all the details on this chilling case, one unlike any Crime Clueless has ever covered.

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.
