Shawn Reineke

In September 1984, eighteen-year-old Shawn Reineke went to a university dance in Saskatoon. Hours later, he was dead. He was found at the bottom of a garbage chute, nine floors below the party. A group of strangers had pranked him while he was passed out drunk, then left him alone. A coroner's inquest ruled it was highly unlikely he got there on his own, but the police investigation that followed was shaped as much by accident and coincidence as by evidence. Nobody was ever charged. More than forty years later, nobody has ever explained what actually happened that night. Saskatoon lawyer David Scharf spent years researching Shawn's case and joins us to walk through what's known, and what still isn’t.--Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@truenorthtruecrimeFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/truenorthtruecrimeFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Hosted on Acast.
