Will Anyone Ever Be Charged in the Death of Ellen Greenberg?
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. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllen #TrueCrime #ColdCase #WrongfulDeath #Unsolved #ForensicFiles #CrimeSceneInvestigation #HuluDocumentary #AccountabilityNow Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Break the Case: Celeste Rivas’ Tragic Fate and the Hunt for Proof
Break the Case: Celeste Rivas’ Tragic Fate and the Hunt for Proof A shocking true crime mystery is unfolding in California: the tragic death of 13-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was discovered on September 8, 2024 in the frunk—the small front trunk—of a Tesla. In this gripping episode of “Break the Case” with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, the panel digs deep into the evidence, the unanswered questions, and the frustratingly slow pace of justice. Coffindaffer is joined by Dan from the Drunk Turkey Show, a former Texas law-enforcement officer, and veteran attorney Philip Dubey, who has worked on both sides of the courtroom in Los Angeles. Together, they examine why, despite disturbing circumstantial evidence linking a man named D4vd to Celeste, no charges have yet been filed. The conversation begins with the heartbreaking backstory of Celeste—a bright but troubled teen who reportedly ran away several times earlier in the year. Questions swirl around her relationship with D4vd, a much older man whose song lyrics, artwork, and even an AI-styled image depicting a body dragged to a trunk have raised eyebrows. The panel dissects how these artistic expressions could serve as circumstantial evidence and what investigators still need to prove in court. Coffindaffer even conducted her own home reenactment to demonstrate just how small the Tesla frunk is and how difficult it would be for one person to maneuver a body inside—suggesting the possibility of additional parties being involved. Attorney Dubey offers an insider’s view on the legal hurdles prosecutors face, including California’s corpus delicti rule, and why forensic evidence—such as signs of pregnancy or DNA—may be the key to unlocking charges that could hold up at trial. This episode blends true-crime reporting with on-scene demonstrations and expert legal insight, painting a chilling yet informative picture of a case that has gripped the public. Viewers will come away with a deeper understanding of why some investigations take time, the power of circumstantial evidence, and the many hurdles between suspicion and conviction in high-profile homicide cases. #CelesteRivas #TeslaFrunk #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeNews #MissingTeenCase #RomanticHomicide #CaliforniaCrime #BreakTheCase #JusticeForCeleste #TrueCrimeCommunity #D4vd Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco
Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco” In this segment, we tear open the wounds of the original investigation. Two men—Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott—were convicted decades ago based almost entirely on confessions that they later recanted. DNA would later exclude them entirely. What pushed investigators to pursue confessions so hard? Tunnel vision, coercive interview tactics, and information “leaks” that allowed suspects to parrot back nonpublic details. Over 50 people confessed at one point or another to this crime—many obviously false. We dig into how interview design (false‑evidence ploys, minimization, sleep deprivation) creates a dangerous illusion of certainty. Legally, these strategies drive miscarriages of justice. Psychologically, they turn confessions into weapons rather than tools of truth. In this part you’ll learn: Why confessions, especially in homicide, are dangerously persuasive How contamination and leading questions distort memory What happens when investigators stop listening for disconfirmation After you hear the mistakes, you’ll see how fragile the case was from the start—and why we can’t treat confession = guilt as an assumption ever again. #FalseConfession #WrongfulConviction #YogurtShopCase #InterrogationTactics #TunnelVision #CriminalJusticeReform #AustinMurders #InvestigativeFailures #CriminalPsychology #InnocenceProject #YogurtShopMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4VD Discord, Streams, and Screenshots: What the Internet Missed in the Celeste Rivas Case
D4VD Discord, Streams, and Screenshots: What the Internet Missed in the Celeste Rivas Case There are screenshots. Twitch clips. Discord chats. Eyewitness reports. Celeste Rivas was visible. She was online. She was interacting with people. She was seen. And still—somehow—no one stopped this. In this segment, FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins me to examine the digital behavior, online grooming signs, and community silence surrounding this case. From reported messages about pregnancy, to shared social content, to alleged sightings by classmates—there were signs. Multiple. Public. Documented. And ignored. We get into: – Why offenders sometimes flaunt inappropriate behavior online – The psychology behind public performance and private control – What it says when friends, fans, or even platforms fail to intervene – And how law enforcement uses this digital trail to apply pressure behind the scenes Celeste’s body was found in a towed, impounded Tesla. Electronic devices were reportedly seized from a Hollywood Hills home. Still: no one has been charged. No cause of death released. But the data is out there. The patterns are there. And the silence around them should disturb everyone watching this unfold. If this case feels frustrating, it’s because it should. 🏷️ Hashtags #D4vd #CelesteRivas #DigitalEvidence #DiscordScreenshots #RobinDreeke #FBIProfiler #OnlineGrooming #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #NoArrestYet Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
