“Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg’s Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg
What happens when the system doesn’t just fail you — it rewrites the story entirely?
In this emotionally raw and deeply insightful episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to discuss the most disturbing layer of the Ellen Greenberg case: the aftermath.
After Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 to the back of her neck — the medical examiner originally ruled her death a homicide. But that ruling was quietly reversed after a meeting with police. No new evidence. No second autopsy. Just a narrative pivot that reshaped everything.
And because it was ruled a suicide, the apartment wasn’t preserved. It was cleaned. Her devices were removed by her fiancé’s uncle. Chain of custody was destroyed. Crime scene photos were incomplete. And the investigation? Essentially shut down.
In this segment, we explore the psychological impact of institutional betrayal — not just on Ellen’s family, but on every family forced to accept a story that doesn’t make sense. We also dig into:
Why families are often shamed into silence when they challenge suicide rulings
What it means when someone close to the victim — like a fiancé — shows no visible grief or curiosity
How mental health labels like “anxious” are weaponized to close cases
And whether emotional closure is still possible when legal justice never comes
Ellen Greenberg’s case isn’t just a forensic failure — it’s a psychological one. And if this is what happens when families ask questions, what does that say about how we treat grief, truth, and the dead?
Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

From Teacher to Tragedy: Breaking Down Ellen Greenberg’s Mental State | Psych Expert Weighs In
Was Ellen Greenberg’s death the result of a private mental health spiral — or a sign of something far more sinister?
In this deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers Live, we’re joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore the emotional and behavioral profile of Ellen Greenberg as portrayed in the new Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603.
We begin not with the crime scene — but with the person. Ellen was a 27-year-old first-grade teacher, beloved by her students and deeply connected to her family and friends. She was newly engaged. Planning a wedding. Dreaming of a family. So how did we go from that… to 20 stab wounds and a suicide ruling?
In this episode, we walk through three major psychological layers of the case:
🔹 Ellen’s emotional withdrawal — When she started pulling back from friends and stopped wearing her engagement ring, was it anxiety, relationship strain… or something more dangerous?
🔹 The medical record — Ellen had seen a psychiatrist three times and was prescribed Klonopin and Ambien. But she never disclosed suicidal thoughts. In fact, her doctor noted that she smiled when talking about her fiancé. So how did that turn into the primary justification for a suicide ruling?
🔹 The body tells a different story — Ellen had 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck, and bruises in various stages of healing. We ask: what does that kind of physical trauma suggest psychologically — especially in a case with no note, no history of self-harm, and no pattern of detachment?
Together with Shavaun, we try to answer one central question: Does this case look anything like suicide — or have we all been forced to believe something that simply doesn’t make psychological sense?
Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

Ellen Greenberg Case: The Most Botched Crime Scene Cover-Up You’ve Never Heard Of
What if the crime scene was already erased… before police ever began investigating?
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig deep into the moments that should have triggered a full-blown homicide investigation in the death of Ellen Greenberg — but instead, signaled something very different: silence, shortcuts, and possibly, cover-up.
We examine Sam Goldberg’s behavior, as witnessed by a building staffer who saw him pacing the hallway, visibly agitated, shouting that he was going to "knock the f---ing door down." And then, we look at what happened after Ellen was pronounced dead — when the police labeled it suicide on scene, and the apartment was released, not preserved.
By the very next day, professional crime scene cleaners were scrubbing the apartment. Items were moved. Dishes were run through the dishwasher. And then, a man who wasn’t even related to Ellen — her fiancé’s uncle — was allowed inside to remove her electronic devices, including laptops and phones, before any forensic work was done. That uncle? A politically connected Philadelphia attorney.
From there, it only gets more troubling:
• Devices were returned days later, with no clear chain of custody.
• The original homicide ruling by the medical examiner was reversed — without new forensic evidence.
• Police later cited mental health issues, based on statements from the same person who discovered her.
And years later? That same person reportedly never questioned the suicide ruling and told others, “That’s just what it was.”
This isn’t just bad policing. This is what it looks like when a homicide becomes a narrative control exercise. And the closer you look, the worse it gets.
Was this a cover-up? Or was it a case of every system doing the wrong thing at the worst possible time?
Let’s break it down.
Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

Ellen Greenberg Didn’t Kill Herself — And This Hulu Doc Proves It
She was 27. A beloved teacher. Engaged. Planning a future. And then, she was found on the kitchen floor with 20 stab wounds — including 10 in her back and neck — and a knife buried in her chest.
The official ruling? Suicide.
Now, more than a decade later, the new Hulu docuseries Death in Apartment 603 is turning that narrative inside out. And in this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we’re breaking down exactly what it reveals — and why this case is unraveling in real time.
The evidence? It’s brutal, graphic, and impossible to ignore. We’ve got a 911 call where the fiancé preemptively blames Ellen before attempting CPR. A crime scene that was released and professionally cleaned within hours. Devices removed by a politically connected family member. And a death that was originally ruled a homicide by the medical examiner — until police pressured it into becoming a suicide.
This isn’t just about what happened in that apartment. It’s about what happened after — how institutions failed, how truth got rewritten, and how a grieving family has spent 14 years screaming into a system that refused to listen.
In this segment, we’re not just reacting to the doc — we’re pulling the threads that were buried for years. We’re laying out the timeline, the autopsy contradictions, the mental health manipulation, and the bureaucratic blindfold that kept this case from ever being investigated as the homicide it clearly appeared to be.
If you’ve followed the Ellen Greenberg case, this will make your blood boil. If you haven’t — it’s time you see what everyone’s been trying to hide.
This is what it looks like when the evidence screams… and no one listens.
Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

This Changes Everything: What the Ellen Greenberg Doc Just Revealed & What's Next?
This case was buried under paperwork, silence, and a suicide label. Until now.
In this revealing episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore what the Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603 has exposed — and what the psychological profile of Ellen Greenberg actually tells us.
Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck, and no history of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or major depression. The documentary lays bare what had been kept in the shadows for years — and now, Shavaun helps us walk through the emotional truth behind the evidence.
We dig into what this story reveals about:
Ellen’s emotional withdrawal: Why she suddenly pulled back from her life — and what she may have been signaling
The clinical record: Three sessions with a psychiatrist. No ideation. A future she was planning. So how did “anxiety” get weaponized as the reason she’s gone?
The crime scene: Cleaned within 24 hours. Devices taken before police could retrieve them. A homicide ruling reversed without new evidence.
And then we get to the deeper trauma:
What happens to a family when the official story doesn’t just feel wrong — it is wrong? What happens when the institutions you’re supposed to trust look you in the eye and say, “Move on”?
This segment doesn’t just revisit the case — it reveals why the public was misled, how a suicide narrative was institutionalized, and what it actually takes to dismantle that lie after more than a decade of damage.
Watch this episode and ask yourself — what else have we been told to accept that never made psychological sense in the first place?
Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

Will Anyone Ever Be Charged in the Death of Ellen Greenberg?
20 stab wounds. A knife in her chest. Bruises in various stages of healing. The official ruling? Suicide.
Now, 14 years later, with a new Hulu documentary (Death in Apartment 603) and a court-ordered review underway, the question that refuses to go away is this:
Will anyone ever be held accountable for Ellen Greenberg’s death?
In this special longform commentary, we cut through the noise and walk through the most disturbing, undeniable facts of this case—the forensic findings, investigative failures, and shifting stories that have led many to believe there’s been a cover-up from the very beginning. Why did the medical examiner reverse a homicide ruling under police pressure? Why was the crime scene released for cleaning before a full forensic sweep? And why does Ellen’s death certificate still say suicide, when even the original pathologist now says it shouldn’t?
We also ask the harder question: What’s stopping prosecutors from filing charges, or even opening a formal investigation? From chain-of-custody issues with Ellen’s electronics to conflicting elevator surveillance and 911 call timelines, this case isn’t lacking in evidence—it’s been drowning in it. What it’s lacked is the institutional will to follow it.
With the public demanding answers, Ellen’s parents fighting through the courts, and the Hulu series putting the spotlight back where it belongs, we’re at a pivotal moment. Will this be the turning point? Or will the system once again find a way to look away?
Justice delayed doesn’t have to be justice denied. But it will be—if no one acts.

Why Has Ellen Greenberg’s Case Been Buried for 14 Years? Corruption or Cover-Up?
For 14 years, Ellen Greenberg’s death has sat in legal limbo. After being ruled a suicide despite 20 stab wounds, her case has been passed from agency to agency, each refusing to take responsibility. The District Attorney recused himself, the Attorney General’s office punted it back, and county prosecutors declined to act. The result: no arrests, no suspect, and no justice.
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins the discussion to unravel how the system has failed Ellen Greenberg. Why did the medical examiner reverse an initial homicide ruling after a private meeting with police? Why have officials fought against reopening the case despite mounting evidence? And is this incompetence — or something more deliberate?
The Greenberg family has fought tirelessly for answers, but every attempt to force accountability has been stalled or buried. We explore the political dimensions of the case, including questions about then–Attorney General Josh Shapiro, now Governor of Pennsylvania, and whether connections or corruption played a role in shutting down the investigation.
This is more than a case about one woman’s death. It’s about what happens when a justice system chooses to protect itself instead of the people it serves.

Ellen Greenberg Case Bombshell: The Door Lock, Missing Guard & No Fingerprints
The mystery of Ellen Greenberg’s death doesn’t end with her wounds or her fiancé’s 911 call. When investigators looked at the scene, basic questions about evidence and eyewitnesses were ignored or dismissed. And to this day, those contradictions remain unexplained.
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we examine the many red flags in the case. Sam Goldberg claimed he couldn’t enter the apartment because the swing-bar lock was latched from the inside — a fact investigators used to dismiss the idea of an intruder. Yet the photos of the door damage don’t match his story. To make matters worse, the apartment’s security guard later said he never assisted Sam in breaking the door, directly contradicting Sam’s account.
And then there’s the evidence that was never collected at all. Police failed to fingerprint either of the two knives found at the scene. They didn’t dust the apartment for prints. A professional cleanup was authorized within hours, wiping away anything else that might have been found.
Ellen’s family has spent more than a decade asking for a proper investigation. Instead, they’ve been met with stonewalling and excuses. This conversation unpacks the missing fingerprints, the questionable door lock evidence, and the unexplained engagement ring left on the counter — all details that point to a case that was shut down before it ever had a chance to begin.

Ellen Greenberg 911 Call: Fiancé’s Shocking Words Under the Microscope
The 911 call made by Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, remains one of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence in this mysterious case. When he entered their apartment, he claimed to have found Ellen on the kitchen floor, covered in blood. Yet the way he described what he saw — and the words he chose in the moment — raised more questions than answers.
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we play and dissect the entire 911 call. Why did Sam hesitate when asked to begin CPR? Why did he initially describe Ellen’s injuries as a fall or a bump on the head, only later “discovering” a knife in her chest? And why did his narrative shift so dramatically within the span of a single phone call?
Our panel breaks down every line, comparing the call to real trauma responses witnessed by EMTs. Typically, family members in true emergencies are frantic, incoherent, and desperate to save their loved one. But Sam’s tone seemed controlled, almost rehearsed, with strange detours into alibis rather than panic.
This is not about assigning guilt. Sam Goldberg has never been charged in connection with Ellen’s death. But his 911 call has become central to understanding why so many believe Ellen Greenberg’s case is not a suicide at all, but a homicide that was swept under the rug.

Ellen Greenberg’s “Suicide” or Brutal Murder? The Day Everything Went Wrong
On a snowy January afternoon in Philadelphia, 27-year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment with 20 stab wounds — including multiple deep injuries to the back of her neck and head. Authorities ruled it a suicide. But from the very first look, nothing about this case made sense.
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we revisit Ellen’s final day. Her fiancé Sam Goldberg says he left for the gym, only to return later and find the swing-bar lock engaged from the inside. When he finally entered, Ellen was on the floor with a knife buried in her chest. The medical examiner initially called it what it clearly looked like: homicide. But within hours, that ruling was flipped to suicide, leaving a family blindsided and a city questioning how such a conclusion could ever hold up.
This discussion explores the timeline, the shocking details of Ellen’s wounds, and the implausibility of the suicide theory. How can a woman stab herself 20 times — severing her spinal cord in the process — and still be written off as a suicide? And why did authorities rush to close the case instead of securing it as a crime scene?
Join us as we examine the evidence and the contradictions that continue to haunt the Greenberg family’s fight for justice.

Ellen Greenberg Mystery & Donna Adelson Verdict: Shocking True Crime Revelations
In this powerful edition of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels, we dive deep into two of the most disturbing and high-profile true crime cases in America today.
First, we revisit the mysterious death of 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg. Found with 20 stab wounds, including multiple to the back of her neck and head, Ellen’s death was inexplicably ruled a suicide. We walk through her final day, analyze her fiancé Sam Goldberg’s infamous 911 call, examine the suspicious door lock evidence, and highlight the shocking failures in the police investigation — including the lack of fingerprinting and the rushed apartment cleanup. With political pressure and prosecutorial pass-offs stretching this case out for 14 years, the Greenberg family is still demanding the justice that’s been denied to them for more than a decade.
Then we turn to Florida, where the Adelson family saga has rocked the true crime world. Donna Adelson has now been convicted in the murder-for-hire plot that ended the life of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. With the guilty verdict in place, the spotlight shifts to her daughter Wendy and husband Harvey. Were they active participants, silent enablers, or simply too close to walk away? Defense attorney and podcaster Bob Motta joins the discussion to analyze Donna’s trial, Wendy’s damning testimony, and Harvey’s passive presence as the family unravels under the weight of the conspiracy.
From Philadelphia to Tallahassee, these stories reveal what happens when justice is delayed, when evidence is ignored, and when family power and connections are wielded against the truth. Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and demand accountability with us.

Ellen Greenberg Investigation DELAYED & MOVED AGAIN
In yet another shocking twist, the long-stalled investigation into the death of Ellen Greenberg has been delayed and transferred—again.
Ellen was found dead in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, including deep injuries to the back of her neck and skull, in a locked Philadelphia apartment. Initially ruled a homicide, her manner of death was quietly changed to suicide after a closed-door meeting between the Medical Examiner and police. Since then, the case has bounced like a legal pinball between the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, the Pennsylvania Attorney General, and multiple counties—with no one willing to take meaningful action.
In this episode of Hidden Killers, former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis returns to break down the latest stall tactic and what this new referral really means. Is this yet another strategic delay to avoid reopening a now-infamous case? Or is there a chance—however slim—that someone is finally going to act?
We dig into:
Why the AG kicked the case back to the DA—again
How each agency continues to evade accountability
What the 2025 reversal by the original medical examiner should have triggered
Whether this latest move is just another way to bury the truth
And why this case is rapidly becoming one of the most blatant examples of institutional failure in American criminal justice
Ellen’s family has waited over 14 years. The public has been misled. And the system, once again, is doing what it does best when cornered: pass the buck.
If you think justice delayed is justice denied, this episode will hit hard.

Ellen Greenberg Case Takes Major Turn as Family Wins Settlement, Ex-Pathologist Admits Suicide Ruling Was Wrong
A long-awaited breakthrough in the 14-year battle for justice in Ellen Greenberg’s death arrived in a Philadelphia courtroom Monday, as her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, reached a settlement with the city that will result in an expedited review of their daughter's controversial suicide ruling.
The Greenbergs, who have fought tirelessly to prove their daughter was murdered, agreed to drop lawsuits against former Philadelphia Chief Medical Examiner Sam Gulino and Homicide Det. John McNamee. Their lawsuit alleged that the officials conspired to cover up evidence that Ellen was the victim of homicide. The settlement also halts a separate case that was scheduled for arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in early 2025.
“This is a step forward to bring in the people to justice who are responsible for this homicide,” said Joe Podraza, the family’s attorney. “We’d like to find out who the murderer or murderers of Ellen are.”
The City of Philadelphia will pay an undisclosed sum to the Greenbergs in July, but monetary compensation was never the goal for Joshua Greenberg.
“There is nobody in the world who can say Ellen committed suicide, and that’s the most important thing,” he said. “I don’t care about the money. I wanted Ellen’s suicide taken care of.”
His confidence comes from a key development: a sworn admission from former Philadelphia pathologist Dr. Marlon Osbourne, the man who initially performed Ellen’s autopsy. Osbourne originally ruled Ellen’s death a homicide before changing it to suicide after discussions with Philadelphia homicide detectives and medical examiners. Now, he admits he was wrong.
A Stunning Reversal in Ellen’s Case
In a legal document signed Saturday, Osbourne outlined the evidence that led him to reconsider his stance. His reversal confirms what the Greenbergs' independent investigation has long suggested—that Ellen Greenberg was murdered.
The Greenbergs’ private investigator, retired Pennsylvania State Police Detective Tom Brennan, uncovered major inconsistencies in the case, including:
New witness statements disputing whether Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, actually forced entry into their apartment.
Evidence suggesting Ellen’s body was moved after she died, contradicting the crime scene’s initial assessment.
A neuropathological evaluation confirming no hemorrhaging in a critical knife wound to Ellen’s spinal cord, indicating she was already dead when the wound was inflicted.
Despite these findings, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet committed to changing Ellen’s cause of death. Instead, they’ve agreed to conduct a new review—one the Greenbergs hope will officially overturn the suicide ruling
A Flawed Investigation From the Start
From the moment Ellen was found stabbed to death in her apartment on January 26, 2011, her case has been plagued with investigative failures.
Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, claimed he returned from the gym to find their apartment door locked from the inside. After allegedly forcing entry, he said he discovered Ellen slumped against the kitchen cabinets, with a knife still lodged in her chest. During his 911 call, Goldberg repeatedly insisted that Ellen had “stabbed herself.”
Philadelphia police and the medical examiner’s office quickly accepted that explanation, ruling her death a suicide despite the glaring improbability of someone stabbing themselves 20 times—including wounds to the back of the head and neck.
Perhaps the most egregious failure came when detectives left the crime scene unsecured. The next day, the apartment was professionally cleaned before a proper forensic investigation could take place. This error effectively destroyed potential evidence that could have pointed to a killer.
“These are mistakes that should never happen in a homicide investigation,” Brennan said. “There is no statute of limitations on murder. We will keep fighting.”
With the lawsuit settled, the Greenbergs’ attorneys are now pushing for outside law enforcement agencies—such as the FBI or the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office—to take over the case.
Podraza made it clear that Philadelphia police would not be part of any future investigation.
“Frankly, from our vantage point, they were not very cooperative,” he said. “The question will be how receptive other law enforcement agencies will be to pursuing this.”
While a wrongful death lawsuit remains a possibility, Podraza said the family will wait to see if a criminal investigation moves forward before making any decisions.
For Ellen’s mother, Sandee, the settlement marks the end of years of sleepless nights and heartbreak, but not the end of their pursuit for justice.
“I hope today we made Ellen proud of us because we certainly were very proud of her,” she said.
As for Brennan, who has spent years uncovering the truth behind Ellen’s death, he remains hopeful that her killer will one day be brought to justice.
“You know, we have all the time in the world,” he said. “There is no statute of limitations on homicide. Won’t it be nice to put your hand on somebody’s shoulder and say, ‘Hey, come with me’?”
