Description

In January 2011, 27-year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment, Unit 603 at the Venice Lofts. The swing-bar lock was secured from the inside, yet Ellen had been stabbed twenty times, including deep wounds to the back of her neck. Her fiancé discovered her body and called 911, but within days investigators changed the medical examiner’s original homicide ruling to suicide. More than a decade later, experts, forensic pathologists, and Ellen’s parents are still fighting to answer the question that has haunted Philadelphia ever since: How could a locked-room suicide look so much like murder?
