12: Will Pending Ellen Greenberg Civil Case Uncover Dark Truths About Coverup?

12: Will Pending Ellen Greenberg Civil Case Uncover Dark Truths About Coverup?

In the shadowy realm of unresolved mysteries, few cases beckon as profoundly as that of Ellen Greenberg. A riveting episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski brought to light the baffling circumstances surrounding Ellen's tragic demise and the arduous quest for justice undertaken by her parents. The discussion raises pressing questions about the power dynamics that could be at play and the long-awaited possibility of revealing the truth.    The conversation kicks off with a thought-provoking query, "Are they protecting someone?" This question lingers like a cloud of suspicion over the entire case. As Defense Attorney and podcast host of "Defense Diaries," Bob Motta, contemplates, "When you look at that string of people connected, it could make, it does make a lot of sense. Is that what's happening?"    Ellen Greenberg's story is one of grim intrigue. Found dead with a shocking 20 stab wounds, half in her back and half in her head, the initial verdict of suicide by the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office has confounded experts and left many scratching their heads. As Bob Motta astutely observes, "The facts don't beget the ultimate conclusion in terms of it being suicide. It's the concept is absurd to me... No one's doing that."    This case has been a quagmire of challenges from the very beginning, exacerbated by corruption within the Philadelphia legal and political spheres. The question that continues to haunt observers is whether Ellen's parents' quest for justice is merely a losing battle against a formidable system, determined to thwart their efforts at every turn.    The heart of the matter lies in the issue of legal standing. The lower court initially ruled that Ellen's parents lacked the legal standing to challenge the suicide ruling. Bob Motta elaborates, "They never even got to the argument because they just said, look, you don't have standing to bring the claim, you know, which legally they don't, but, you know, the law can change."    This legal stumbling block highlights a fundamental flaw in the justice system. Standing, the right to participate in a legal proceeding, seems to hinder the pursuit of truth in cases like Ellen's. Bob Motta underscores the issue, "It's one of those things where you see the warts of the criminal justice system and kind of the flaws in the system as it exists now you know, and it's frustrating."    As the podcast conversation delves deeper, the focus shifts to the potential avenues for justice. Bob Motta explains how the Greenberg family has filed a civil suit against specific law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and the medical examiner, alleging misconduct and conspiracy to cover up Ellen's murder.    This civil suit is more than just a pursuit of monetary damages; it serves as a beacon of hope for discovering the truth. It raises the intriguing possibility that revelations uncovered during the civil suit's discovery process could lead to a criminal investigation.    Bob Motta breaks it down, "I'm sure it'll be televised like when it gets to that point civilly, you know, because of the potential for it to actually blossom into, you know, something that could produce evidence that would help them get somebody under arrest."    However, this avenue is far from straightforward, and the battle for access to crucial evidence will likely be an uphill one. The civil suit, despite its noble objectives, may still encounter resistance from law enforcement, and the question remains whether it can ultimately deliver the justice the Greenberg family seeks.    As the conversation unfolds, the enigmatic case of Ellen Greenberg raises more questions than answers. Why was her death initially ruled a suicide despite glaring evidence to the contrary? Are there hidden agendas at play, protecting someone from the full force of the law? What changes are needed in our legal system to prevent such cases from being stifled by issues of standing?    The podcast discussion underscores the importance of pushing for change and emphasizes the frustrating limitations of the current legal framework. The Greenberg family's pursuit of justice continues, leaving us with a final, haunting question: Will the truth ever see the light of day, or will Ellen's case remain a symbol of the challenges and mysteries that persist within our justice system?

12: Will Ellen Greenberg Civil Suit Reveal the Name Of Her Killer?

12: Will Ellen Greenberg Civil Suit Reveal the Name Of Her Killer?

In the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, the compelling case of Ellen Greenberg takes center stage. The topic raises a haunting question: Will the relentless pursuit of justice ever bring closure to Ellen's grieving parents? Dr. John Delatorre, a psychologist, joins the discussion, unraveling the complexities of this enigmatic case that has left many perplexed.    Ellen Greenberg's parents are currently appealing to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after a lower court ruling denied them the standing to change their daughter's cause of death from suicide to homicide. The case is a baffling web of frustration, as all the pieces seem to be in place for justice, yet every step forward is met with an obstacle.    Among the most unsettling aspects of this case is the presence of a knife, a key piece of evidence. Shockingly, this knife remains untouched in a Philadelphia police locker, never fingerprinted. Alongside this, Ellen's phone and diary, potential treasure troves of information for a homicide investigation, languish in the same locker. It's a confounding situation where crucial evidence remains unexamined, painting a surreal picture of the justice system's shortcomings.    For Ellen's family, the emotional toll is immeasurable. Dr. Delatorre suggests that when faced with such a shocking tragedy, one can experience disbelief that this is happening. The emotions may not always be intense but rather a numbing sense of incredulity. It's a surreal nightmare where reality defies belief, leaving a family grappling with negative emotions while striving to do what's best for their beloved daughter's memory.    However, a pertinent question emerges from this ordeal: Is it mentally wise for Ellen's parents to persist in their pursuit of justice, given the endless roadblocks? The torment they endure, the apparent cover-ups, and the bureaucratic barriers create a painful journey. Dr. Delatorre acknowledges that the decision ultimately lies with the family, but he emphasizes the unending bond of parental love, which compels them to seek answers relentlessly.    Despite the overwhelming challenges, Ellen's parents continue their quest for justice. Their tenacity has now led them to pursue a civil suit, currently in the discovery phase. With all criminal avenues seemingly exhausted, the civil suit represents their last hope for accountability. The key question, however, is whether this pursuit through the civil trial will uncover enough evidence to initiate a criminal investigation.    The possibility of arrests and prosecutions looms, and individuals connected to the case may find themselves under scrutiny. The fate of the evidence locked away in Philadelphia's police lockers may hold the key to unraveling this mystifying puzzle and potentially revealing the identity of those responsible for Ellen's tragic demise.    As the podcast delves into the case, the two main theories emerge: one involving a possible cover-up orchestrated by the murderer and another suggesting egregious police incompetence. The latter theory is compounded by the deplorable mishandling of the case from its inception. While it is tempting to focus solely on these two narratives, Dr. Delatorre reminds us that investigations can branch out in unexpected directions.    Acknowledging the multitude of possible scenarios, the critical factor remains the evidence that can be substantiated. Dr. Delatorre highlights that the civil trial may shed light on why these grave mistakes occurred and offer insights into the bafflingly sloppy police work surrounding this case.    In the end, Ellen Greenberg's case serves as a testament to the unyielding resolve of parents who refuse to let their daughter's memory fade into obscurity. As they persist in their quest for justice, questions linger: Is there a cover-up? Or was it truly a case of extraordinary police incompetence? Will the evidence reveal new, unforeseen perspectives on this perplexing tragedy? The enigma of Ellen Greenberg's death continues to perplex, but her parents remain undeterred in their pursuit of answers, determined to honor her memory with truth and accountability.

11: Why Does Philly PD Continue to Stonewall East To Attain Answers In Ellen Greenberg Murder?

11: Why Does Philly PD Continue to Stonewall East To Attain Answers In Ellen Greenberg Murder?

In the world of true crime, few cases capture the imagination and intrigue of the public like that of Ellen Greenberg. A case that raises more questions than it answers, it has become a symbol of a justice system fraught with obstacles and a stubborn refusal to uncover the truth. The appeals are underway in the case of Ellen Greenberg, and her parents are now taking their battle for justice to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, challenging the suicide ruling that has shrouded her tragic death in mystery.    Ellen Greenberg's case is one that defies logic. Despite evidence suggesting a homicide rather than a suicide, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office initially ruled her death as suicide. Ellen was found stabbed a shocking 20 times, with half of those wounds in the back and half in the head. The very nature of the injuries itself raises doubts about the official conclusion of suicide.    As Defense Attorney and host of the podcast "Defense Diaries," Bob Motta aptly put it, "The facts don't beget the ultimate conclusion in terms of it being suicide. It's the concept is absurd to me... No one's doing that." It is an assertion that has left many scratching their heads.    Suicide, particularly among women, is often associated with less violent methods, such as overdose or carbon monoxide poisoning. The sheer brutality of the wounds inflicted on Ellen contradicts the typical patterns of self-inflicted harm.    Bob Motta points out the perplexing nature of the case, "It's like a case where the cops all know who did it, and they just don't have the evidence to get them. Those are the cases that haunt these cops forever when they know who did it, but they just couldn't get the evidence to prove it." In Ellen's case, much of the evidence either went uncollected or, shockingly, was never examined.    One of the most troubling aspects of this case is the lack of a thorough investigation. The knife found in Ellen's chest was never checked for fingerprints, and crucial surveillance footage from the apartment building lobby and public areas went unscrutinized. Even her personal belongings, like her diary and laptop, have remained untouched in evidence storage.    The question that emerges is, why the reluctance to investigate thoroughly? Is there a hidden agenda at play? As Bob Motta points out, "It makes me think that they destroyed all the evidence. There has to be like a rational explanation as to why they're refusing to do it unless somebody's being protected."    The frustration surrounding this case extends to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, which have reportedly been denied repeatedly. The lack of transparency and cooperation in accessing evidence only adds to the mystique of the case.    The case of Ellen Greenberg is a chilling reminder of the shortcomings of our justice system. It raises disconcerting questions about the integrity of the investigation and the influence that may be preventing the truth from surfacing. As the appeals continue, one cannot help but wonder if justice will ultimately prevail, or if Ellen's case will remain forever shrouded in a cloud of secrecy, leaving us with more questions than answers.

10: Why Philly PD Refuses to Investigate The Murder Of Ellen Greenberg

10: Why Philly PD Refuses to Investigate The Murder Of Ellen Greenberg

In the world of unresolved mysteries, few cases have baffled as profoundly as that of Ellen Greenberg. A recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski featured former FBI Special Agent and Hidden Killers Daily Contributor Jennifer Coffindaffer, shedding light on the perplexing circumstances surrounding Ellen's tragic death and the relentless pursuit of justice by her family.    The conversation opens with a haunting question, one that resonates deeply with anyone familiar with this enigmatic case: "Will there ever be justice for Ellen Greenberg?" However, the concept of justice itself is far from straightforward in this saga. As Jennifer Coffindaffer aptly remarks, it's not solely about punishment but also about closure for the grieving family, finding the truth behind Ellen's death, and uncovering any potential cover-up.    Ellen Greenberg's story is one of chilling intrigue. Found with a staggering 20 stab wounds, half in her back and half in her head, the initial verdict of suicide by the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office has left experts and observers bewildered. As Jennifer Coffindaffer astutely points out, "What on earth would be going through anyone's mind to think suicide here?"    The Ellen Greenberg case has been marred by numerous roadblocks and questionable decisions from the very outset. Perhaps the most glaring of these is the failure to conduct a proper investigation. As Jennifer Coffindaffer highlights, "What have you ever seen a case where someone has been stabbed 20 times... where they didn't look at it as a homicide?"    The story takes a bizarre turn as the initial homicide ruling was changed to suicide based on the testimony of Ellen's then-fiancé. Jennifer Coffindaffer points out the absurdity of this shift, highlighting the vast gap between the evidence and the conclusion drawn by authorities. It raises the question: What compelled such a dramatic shift in the investigation's direction?    As the podcast discussion delves deeper, it becomes evident that this case is shrouded in layers of suspicion and unanswered questions. Jennifer Coffindaffer proposes a chilling theory that involves multiple individuals, a heated argument, a knife, and ultimately murder. The subsequent actions, including the hasty cleanup of the crime scene, raise even more suspicions.    The involvement of the fiancé's uncle, a judge, adds a layer of complexity to the case. Jennifer Coffindaffer hints at the possibility of well-connected individuals attempting to cover up the crime and influence the investigation. This intricate web of connections and potential motives leaves room for a myriad of theories and speculations.    One of the most puzzling aspects of the case is the apparent incompetence displayed by law enforcement and crime scene cleanup personnel. The decision to allow the cleanup of the apartment without securing it as a crime scene adds to the perplexity. Was it mere incompetence, or was there a calculated effort to erase evidence?    The podcast discussion leaves us with a troubling paradox: Does incompetence mirror a cover-up, or is it a blend of both? While the evidence may not definitively answer this question, it underscores the need for a thorough and unbiased examination of the case.    As Jennifer Coffindaffer aptly concludes, the least that can be done is to examine the evidence, ask the necessary questions, and take the crucial first step toward finding the truth. Fingerprinting the knife, for instance, seems like a straightforward action that could yield valuable insights.    The Ellen Greenberg case serves as a haunting reminder of the complexities and challenges faced in the pursuit of justice. It raises profound questions about the integrity of investigations, the influence of well-connected individuals, and the dire need for transparency. As we contemplate these mysteries, one question lingers: Will the truth ever come to light, or will the Ellen Greenberg case remain an unsolved enigma in the annals of criminal justice?

8: Ellen Greenberg's Parents Not Standing Down To Courts Corrupt Decision

8: Ellen Greenberg's Parents Not Standing Down To Courts Corrupt Decision

The tragic and perplexing death of Ellen Greenberg in 2011 remains a point of contention and heartbreak for her family. Despite the Pennsylvania appellate court's recent ruling against them, the Greenbergs refuse to let the matter rest. A Death Shrouded in Doubt Ellen, a respected teacher in Philadelphia, was discovered dead in her Manayunk apartment on a bleak, snowy evening in January 2011. The circumstances surrounding her death were puzzling. With her apartment door deadbolted from the inside, her fiancé had to break in after futilely trying to reach her for over an hour. What he found was shocking: Ellen's lifeless body with 20 stab wounds. However, the medical examiner's report compounded the family's anguish. Initially categorizing her death as a homicide, the examiner later reversed this to "suicide." As Joshua Greenberg, Ellen's father, shared with CBS News Philadelphia, "We don't believe our daughter committed suicide." The change in the cause of death has led to widespread skepticism. Not only does the Greenberg family doubt the conclusion, but their attorneys, their experts, and even some court officials have voiced concerns about the investigation's integrity. Legal Roadblocks and Controversy In their pursuit of justice, the Greenbergs have faced a maze of legal setbacks. Recently, their bid to change the official cause of death on their daughter's death certificate was thwarted by the Commonwealth Court. The court's 2-to-1 ruling stated that the Greenbergs didn't have the standing to raise this challenge. Yet, even within this ruling, questions were raised. As Joshua Greenberg noted, the judges indicated that the investigation had evident flaws involving the police, the medical examiner, and the district attorney. Such criticisms are amplified by the Greenbergs' attorney, Joe Podraza. Speaking with CBS News Philadelphia, he expressed disbelief over how Ellen's death was handled by various city agencies. One particular point of contention is a wound on Ellen's neck that had no blood traces, suggesting it was inflicted post-mortem. "To say this is a suicide is to say that Ellen stabbed herself twice after she was already dead," Podraza stated, emphasizing the absurdity of such a claim. The Quest for Evidence and Transparency The Greenberg family's crusade for the truth doesn't stop at challenging the medical examiner's findings. They have also taken legal action against the city, aiming to gain access to potentially revealing surveillance footage from Ellen's apartment building and the entire police case file. Additionally, they're suing the medical examiners, alleging a cover-up of a homicide. These efforts point to a deeper issue at hand: possible obstructions in the investigation. When asked if someone might be thwarting the investigation, Podraza responded, "There's something going on here plainly interfering with it. I don't know what it is." In a response to the ongoing controversy, the City of Philadelphia urged the Greenbergs to present any new evidence they might have to the investigators in Chester County, as they now hold the authority to re-investigate the case. An Undying Hope for Justice The pain for the Greenbergs is palpable. Each day without Ellen is a reminder of their loss. Sandra Greenberg, Ellen's mother, shared, "I try not to dwell on that even though there is a big hole in my heart." Despite the majority ruling of the Commonwealth Court against the Greenbergs, a glimmer of hope remains. A third judge believed the family had a valid standing to challenge the death certificate's cause of death. Buoyed by this support, the Greenbergs are now setting their sights on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, even though it remains uncertain whether the court will entertain the matter. In Conclusion The tragedy of Ellen Greenberg's death is compounded by the numerous unanswered questions and the arduous legal battles faced by her family. As they remain unwavering in their pursuit of truth and justice, one can only hope that clarity and closure will someday be achieved for both Ellen and her loved ones.

Pennsylvania Court Rules Against Parents Of Ellen Greenberg

Pennsylvania Court Rules Against Parents Of Ellen Greenberg

Pennsylvania Court Rules Against Parents of Ellen Greenberg A Pennsylvania court has made a significant ruling regarding the controversial death of Ellen Greenberg in 2011. The 27-year-old woman was found in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stab wounds. Initially labeled a homicide, the cause of death was later changed to suicide, a decision that left many questions unanswered.  The Background    Ellen Greenberg's lifeless body was discovered in the apartment she shared with her fiancé, Sam Goldberg. The grim scene raised multiple questions. Goldberg told authorities he had left the apartment around 4:45 p.m. for a workout in the building's gym. Upon his return, roughly 45 minutes later, he discovered the apartment's swing bar lock was engaged from inside, preventing entry.    Growing increasingly concerned after failing to establish contact with Ellen via calls and texts, Goldberg attempted to force his way in. When he finally did, he found Ellen seated on the kitchen floor, fully clothed, with a knife protruding from her chest. The nature and location of some of the wounds, particularly a severe laceration to the top of her skull and stab wounds to the rear of her neck and spine, added layers of complexity to the case.    Although Goldberg was questioned by the police, he was released shortly after. An autopsy initially declared the death a homicide. However, in a surprising turn of events, the medical examiner reversed this decision after a meeting with the police, labeling Ellen's wounds as self-inflicted.    Parents Fight for Justice    Disturbed by the sudden change in the cause of death and convinced there was more to the story, Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, sought answers. They enlisted a private investigator who declared Ellen's death "strongly suspicious of homicide." This investigator pointed out significant gaps in the police's case, including the lack of records from Goldberg's interrogation and the failure to examine the murder weapon for fingerprints.    Despite their efforts, the Greenbergs' pleas to reopen the case were denied. This denial led them to sue the city’s Medical Examiner’s Office in 2019, seeking to reinstate the original cause of death: homicide.    The Court's Decision and Response    In a recent verdict, the Commonwealth Court sided with the city, ruling that the Greenbergs did not have legal standing to pursue the case. However, in a noteworthy mention, the judges stated they were "acutely aware of the deeply flawed investigation." Their decision elaborated on the pressing need for a detailed review of the investigation, in the hope that justice would eventually prevail for Ellen and her family.    Reacting to the decision, the Greenbergs admitted they were “disappointed but not surprised.” Joshua Greenberg, speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer, highlighted the unexpected sympathy shown by the judges. He said, “I’m more surprised what they wrote in our favor than they ruled against us totally.” He further added, “It seems like somebody has a conscience here. They may have been judges in the judicial sense, and they didn’t want to change the law, but they definitely feel something is wrong.”    At this stage, it remains unclear if the Greenbergs will escalate the case to the state supreme court.    Conclusion Ellen Greenberg's death remains a tragic and controversial topic that has resonated with many. The recent ruling, while not in favor of her parents, indicates a judicial acknowledgment of potential shortcomings in the initial investigation. As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities involved in seeking justice. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

7: Who Killed Ellen Greenberg & Who Doesn't Want You To Know?

7: Who Killed Ellen Greenberg & Who Doesn't Want You To Know?

The enigmatic case of Ellen Greenberg's death has cast a dark shadow over a decade, leaving her family and the broader public grappling with an enduring question: Who ended Ellen's life, and who is striving to keep the truth under wraps? This tragic tale, riddled with inconsistencies and unanswered queries, stirs profound empathy and a relentless call for justice.   Ellen Greenberg, a vibrant, loved, 27-year-old Philadelphia schoolteacher, was found dead in her apartment on a cold January evening in 2011. The gruesome scene, showcasing a shocking 20 stab wounds, initially led investigators to classify her death as a homicide. However, in a bewildering turn of events, the ruling abruptly changed to suicide a month later, sparking outrage and confusion.    Since then, Ellen's parents, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, have been on a relentless quest for answers. This journey to unmask the truth behind their daughter's untimely demise isn't just about their personal closure—it's also a fight against an opaque system that seems to be sheltering reality.    But why would anyone want to suppress the truth about Ellen's death? Some speculate it could be an attempt to evade public scrutiny, while others suggest an underlying conspiracy to protect the reputation of certain individuals or institutions. Regardless of the motives, this perceived obfuscation has only fueled public demand for transparency and accountability in Ellen's case.    As time ticks on, the Greenbergs remain resolute, undeterred by the legal and bureaucratic roadblocks they've encountered. Backed by renowned forensic experts, they've disputed the suicide ruling, citing the implausibility of Ellen inflicting so many, including ten fatal, wounds upon herself. An important point of contention is the mysterious knife wound in Ellen's neck, allegedly inflicted post-mortem—a claim that, if true, strongly counters the suicide theory.    A key figure in this mystery is Ellen's fiancé, who was the only other person in the apartment that evening. While no direct evidence implicates him, some question his behavior and statements following Ellen's death. However, law enforcement has not considered him a suspect in the case.    The actions—or perceived inaction—of the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office and the Philadelphia Police Department have also raised eyebrows. The quick shift in their stance from homicide to suicide, coupled with an alleged reluctance to re-open the case despite new evidence, has fueled suspicion of a cover-up.    Media and public scrutiny have further amplified calls for a transparent, unbiased re-investigation into Ellen's case. Social media campaigns, petitions, and news coverage have echoed the Greenberg’s plea for justice, highlighting the public's demand for the truth.    Amidst the cloud of uncertainty surrounding Ellen's tragic end, one thing remains crystal clear: the relentless determination of a grieving family who deserve to know what truly happened to their beloved daughter. Ellen's story compels us to confront uncomfortable truths about our justice system while highlighting the power of collective resilience and determination.    As the quest for truth continues, Ellen Greenberg's case is a stark reminder of the fight for justice many families face when their loved ones' stories are left untold or misrepresented. It's a call to action for transparency, truth, and justice for Ellen and others who may find themselves entangled in a similarly frustrating battle with a system meant to protect them.
