Five years after police rule Lara Prychodko\'s death as a tragic accident, her father is still pushing for answers.

Prychodko died after falling 27 stories down a trash chute. Nicholas Prychodko claims in a lawsuit that his son-in-law carefully planned, and used a hit-man to facilitate her death. The couple was in the middle of an acrimonious divorce at the time.\\xa0 \\xa0

The chief medical examiner concluded that Prychodko died from multiple blunt force injuries and was extremely intoxicated. Prychodko\'s father doesn\'t believe that explanation. He says a hitman hired by her husband was waiting for her on the 27th floor. She was strangled and the body was disposed of down the building\'s trash chute.\\xa0 \\xa0

No criminal charges have ever been filed against her husband, David Schlachet. Prychodko\\u2019s father is suing for wrongful death.\\xa0 \\xa0
