​Ellen Greenberg’s “Suicide” or Brutal Murder? The Day Everything Went Wrong

​Ellen Greenberg’s “Suicide” or Brutal Murder? The Day Everything Went Wrong

​Ellen Greenberg’s “Suicide” or Brutal Murder? The Day Everything Went Wrong

On a snowy January afternoon in Philadelphia, 27-year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment with 20 stab wounds — including multiple deep injuries to the back of her neck and head. Authorities ruled it a suicide. But from the very first look, nothing about this case made sense.

In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we revisit Ellen’s final day. Her fiancé Sam Goldberg says he left for the gym, only to return later and find the swing-bar lock engaged from the inside. When he finally entered, Ellen was on the floor with a knife buried in her chest. The medical examiner initially called it what it clearly looked like: homicide. But within hours, that ruling was flipped to suicide, leaving a family blindsided and a city questioning how such a conclusion could ever hold up.

This discussion explores the timeline, the shocking details of Ellen’s wounds, and the implausibility of the suicide theory. How can a woman stab herself 20 times — severing her spinal cord in the process — and still be written off as a suicide? And why did authorities rush to close the case instead of securing it as a crime scene?

Join us as we examine the evidence and the contradictions that continue to haunt the Greenberg family’s fight for justice.

Ellen Greenberg Investigation DELAYED & MOVED AGAIN

Ellen Greenberg Investigation DELAYED & MOVED AGAIN

Ellen Greenberg Investigation DELAYED & MOVED AGAIN In yet another shocking twist, the long-stalled investigation into the death of Ellen Greenberg has been delayed and transferred—again. Ellen was found dead in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, including deep injuries to the back of her neck and skull, in a locked Philadelphia apartment. Initially ruled a homicide, her manner of death was quietly changed to suicide after a closed-door meeting between the Medical Examiner and police. Since then, the case has bounced like a legal pinball between the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, the Pennsylvania Attorney General, and multiple counties—with no one willing to take meaningful action. In this episode of Hidden Killers, former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis returns to break down the latest stall tactic and what this new referral really means. Is this yet another strategic delay to avoid reopening a now-infamous case? Or is there a chance—however slim—that someone is finally going to act? We dig into: Why the AG kicked the case back to the DA—again How each agency continues to evade accountability What the 2025 reversal by the original medical examiner should have triggered Whether this latest move is just another way to bury the truth And why this case is rapidly becoming one of the most blatant examples of institutional failure in American criminal justice Ellen’s family has waited over 14 years. The public has been misled. And the system, once again, is doing what it does best when cornered: pass the buck. If you think justice delayed is justice denied, this episode will hit hard.

Ellen Greenberg Case Takes Major Turn as Family Wins Settlement, Ex-Pathologist Admits Suicide Ruling Was Wrong

Ellen Greenberg Case Takes Major Turn as Family Wins Settlement, Ex-Pathologist Admits Suicide Ruling Was Wrong

Ellen Greenberg Case Takes Major Turn as Family Wins Settlement, Ex-Pathologist Admits Suicide Ruling Was Wrong A long-awaited breakthrough in the 14-year battle for justice in Ellen Greenberg’s death arrived in a Philadelphia courtroom Monday, as her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, reached a settlement with the city that will result in an expedited review of their daughter's controversial suicide ruling. The Greenbergs, who have fought tirelessly to prove their daughter was murdered, agreed to drop lawsuits against former Philadelphia Chief Medical Examiner Sam Gulino and Homicide Det. John McNamee. Their lawsuit alleged that the officials conspired to cover up evidence that Ellen was the victim of homicide. The settlement also halts a separate case that was scheduled for arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in early 2025. “This is a step forward to bring in the people to justice who are responsible for this homicide,” said Joe Podraza, the family’s attorney. “We’d like to find out who the murderer or murderers of Ellen are.” The City of Philadelphia will pay an undisclosed sum to the Greenbergs in July, but monetary compensation was never the goal for Joshua Greenberg. “There is nobody in the world who can say Ellen committed suicide, and that’s the most important thing,” he said. “I don’t care about the money. I wanted Ellen’s suicide taken care of.” His confidence comes from a key development: a sworn admission from former Philadelphia pathologist Dr. Marlon Osbourne, the man who initially performed Ellen’s autopsy. Osbourne originally ruled Ellen’s death a homicide before changing it to suicide after discussions with Philadelphia homicide detectives and medical examiners. Now, he admits he was wrong. A Stunning Reversal in Ellen’s Case In a legal document signed Saturday, Osbourne outlined the evidence that led him to reconsider his stance. His reversal confirms what the Greenbergs' independent investigation has long suggested—that Ellen Greenberg was murdered. The Greenbergs’ private investigator, retired Pennsylvania State Police Detective Tom Brennan, uncovered major inconsistencies in the case, including: New witness statements disputing whether Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, actually forced entry into their apartment. Evidence suggesting Ellen’s body was moved after she died, contradicting the crime scene’s initial assessment. A neuropathological evaluation confirming no hemorrhaging in a critical knife wound to Ellen’s spinal cord, indicating she was already dead when the wound was inflicted. Despite these findings, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet committed to changing Ellen’s cause of death. Instead, they’ve agreed to conduct a new review—one the Greenbergs hope will officially overturn the suicide ruling A Flawed Investigation From the Start From the moment Ellen was found stabbed to death in her apartment on January 26, 2011, her case has been plagued with investigative failures. Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, claimed he returned from the gym to find their apartment door locked from the inside. After allegedly forcing entry, he said he discovered Ellen slumped against the kitchen cabinets, with a knife still lodged in her chest. During his 911 call, Goldberg repeatedly insisted that Ellen had “stabbed herself.” Philadelphia police and the medical examiner’s office quickly accepted that explanation, ruling her death a suicide despite the glaring improbability of someone stabbing themselves 20 times—including wounds to the back of the head and neck. Perhaps the most egregious failure came when detectives left the crime scene unsecured. The next day, the apartment was professionally cleaned before a proper forensic investigation could take place. This error effectively destroyed potential evidence that could have pointed to a killer. “These are mistakes that should never happen in a homicide investigation,” Brennan said. “There is no statute of limitations on murder. We will keep fighting.” With the lawsuit settled, the Greenbergs’ attorneys are now pushing for outside law enforcement agencies—such as the FBI or the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office—to take over the case. Podraza made it clear that Philadelphia police would not be part of any future investigation. “Frankly, from our vantage point, they were not very cooperative,” he said. “The question will be how receptive other law enforcement agencies will be to pursuing this.” While a wrongful death lawsuit remains a possibility, Podraza said the family will wait to see if a criminal investigation moves forward before making any decisions. For Ellen’s mother, Sandee, the settlement marks the end of years of sleepless nights and heartbreak, but not the end of their pursuit for justice. “I hope today we made Ellen proud of us because we certainly were very proud of her,” she said. As for Brennan, who has spent years uncovering the truth behind Ellen’s death, he remains hopeful that her killer will one day be brought to justice. “You know, we have all the time in the world,” he said. “There is no statute of limitations on homicide. Won’t it be nice to put your hand on somebody’s shoulder and say, ‘Hey, come with me’?” #JusticeForEllen #EllenGreenberg #ColdCase #TrueCrime #Philadelphia #UnsolvedMystery #CrimeNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
