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.
