The Murder Of Ellen Greenberg A Conversation With Family's PI Thomas Brennan Part 5

Major Breakthrough in Ellen Greenberg Case as Medical Examiner Reverses Stance Yet Again The case of Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher who was found dead with 20 stab wounds in 2011, has taken a significant turn as the medical examiner who ruled her death a suicide now admits it should be classified as "something other than suicide." For 14 years, Greenberg’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought to overturn the controversial ruling, arguing that the forensic evidence points to homicide. The latest revelation comes just days before a civil trial in which they are suing Philadelphia city officials for allegedly mishandling the case and covering up what they believe to be their daughter's murder. Ellen was just 27 when she was found inside her Manayunk apartment on January 26, 2011, with multiple stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her head and neck. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, reported finding her after he returned home and forced open the locked apartment door. Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne initially ruled the death a homicide based on the severity and number of wounds. However, police pushed back on this determination, and without public explanation, Osbourne reversed his ruling to suicide. Now, in a sworn court filing, Osbourne has backtracked, stating, “It is my professional opinion Ellen’s manner of death should be designated as something other than suicide.” He cited new information, including questions about whether her fiancé was seen entering the apartment before calling 911, whether the door was truly forced open, and whether Ellen’s body had been moved before authorities arrived. While Ellen’s fiancé has never been accused of wrongdoing by law enforcement, her parents remain convinced the case was mishandled. Their attorney, Joe Podraza, sees Osbourne’s admission as a major breakthrough. “To us, it means that we’ve accomplished our role that Ellen did not commit a suicide,” Podraza said. “Here you have the original pathologist, finally, after 14 years and five years of litigation, acknowledging that her manner of death should not be suicide.” The Greenbergs have long maintained that forensic evidence disproves suicide, citing medical reports that at least one of Ellen’s wounds was inflicted post-mortem, making self-infliction impossible. Despite these findings, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office announced last year that it would not pursue criminal charges, stating that there was insufficient evidence to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. However, because there is no statute of limitations for homicide in Pennsylvania, charges could still be filed in the future. Meanwhile, the Greenbergs are pressing forward in their legal battle to have Ellen’s official cause of death changed from suicide to undetermined. A Philadelphia judge ruled Friday that they may take three city officials to trial, including Osbourne, former chief medical examiner Sam Gulino, and homicide detective John McNamee, for emotional distress related to the alleged cover-up. Jury selection in the trial is set to begin February 3. Ellen’s father, Joshua Greenberg, remains hopeful. “I’m hoping we’re going to prove that Ellen did not commit suicide,” he said. “That’s what this is all about. Justice for Ellen.” The case has captured national attention, with supporters rallying around the Greenbergs’ efforts to change Ellen’s death ruling and push for renewed criminal investigation. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is also set to hear a separate case regarding whether her parents have legal standing to amend her death certificate. With the medical examiner now refuting the original suicide ruling, the Greenbergs see this as a pivotal moment in their years-long quest for justice. #JusticeForEllen #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #Philadelphia #ForensicScience #LegalBattle #CrimeInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On this episode, we dig into the unraveling of the Ellen Greenberg case and the disturbing questions that remain unanswered. With the medical examiner now reversing the long-held suicide ruling, the fight for justice is gaining traction. But why did it take over a decade for authorities to acknowledge the inconsistencies? Why was evidence mishandled? And who benefits from keeping the truth buried? We examine the timeline, the baffling decisions made by investigators, and the legal battles that could finally force accountability. The cover-up—if there is one—is running out of places to hide.
