Mysterous death of Phoebe Handsjuk and the kidnapping of Zephany Nurse
Show Notes

Phoebe Handsjuk was 24 years-old from Melbourne, Australia. She was known as a beautiful and charming girl, but struggled with alcohol and sleeping pills - and was in a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend, Antony Hampel. Her family was worried when she went missing, only to be discovered hours later at the bottom of a trash chute - dead. But the question remains, did she go down this chute on her own? Or did someone throw her down? Then we cover the insanely bizarre case of Zephany Nurse. She was stolen from a hospital in Cape Town, South Africa at birth. After missing 17 years, a nearly identical girl appears in town. While some welcome her arrival, other's lives are turned upside down.
