Shawn Reineke
Show notes
In September 1984, eighteen-year-old Shawn Reineke went to a university dance in Saskatoon. At some point that night, a group of strangers pranked him while he was passed out drunk, then left him alone in the building. Hours later, he was found at the bottom of a garbage chute, nine floors below. He died the next day.
A coroner's inquest the following year concluded it was highly unlikely Shawn got into that chute on his own. Even so, nobody was ever charged, and 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.
