BREAKING: Federal Prosecutors Subpoena Philadelphia Agencies in Ellen Greenberg Case—Corruption Probe Targets Shapiro Era

Federal prosecutors have reportedly issued subpoenas to multiple Philadelphia agencies in the Ellen Greenberg case—and they're not looking at whether Ellen was murdered. They're looking at whether the officials who handled her case broke federal law.

Ellen Greenberg died in 2011 with twenty stab wounds, including ten to the back of her neck. The medical examiner ruled it homicide. Police pushed back. The ruling changed to suicide. For fifteen years, her parents have fought every agency in Pennsylvania to get answers. Every agency told them the same thing: their daughter killed herself by stabbing herself in the back of the neck ten times.

Now the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is asking questions. Sources say the investigation centers on the Philadelphia Police Department, the Medical Examiner's Office, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office—which was run by current Governor Josh Shapiro when the case sat there for four years.

The timeline is damning. The crime scene was cleaned before detectives processed it. James Schwartzman, the fiancé's uncle and a prominent judicial official, removed electronic devices before police secured a warrant. Those devices later became key evidence—despite the original report saying no suicidal content was found. Shapiro's office cited those searches as proof of suicide. Then discovered an "appearance of conflict" with the Goldberg and Schwartzman families. Four years after taking the case.

If federal investigators find corruption, the statutes carry serious time. Deprivation of rights. Evidence tampering. Obstruction. Up to life in prison if the conduct contributed to a death.

Someone outside Philadelphia is finally asking the questions this case has demanded for fifteen years.
