    Why Was There No Death Investigation In The Case Of Ellen Greenberg?

    Why Was There No Death Investigation In The Case Of Ellen Greenberg? How does someone stab themselves 20 times—postmortem? That’s the question at the center of the baffling, gut-punch of a case surrounding Ellen Greenberg. The 27-year-old teacher was found dead in her Philly apartment in 2011 with more stab wounds than an overenthusiastic slasher flick, yet the official ruling somehow bounced from homicide to suicide, and now… maybe not suicide? Medical examiners, law enforcement, and officials seem to be playing a twisted game of hot potato with the truth, while Ellen’s parents have been fighting tooth and nail for justice. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychological toll of a case like this—not just on the family, but on anyone trying to make sense of the inexplicable. From the ex-fiancé’s bizarre 911 call to the crime scene getting scrubbed cleaner than a hospital room overnight, the red flags here are flapping in hurricane-force winds. Why did officials push the suicide narrative so hard? And more importantly—who benefits from keeping this case buried? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #JusticeForEllen #CoverUp #CrimeMystery #PsychologyOfCrime #UnansweredQuestions Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Breaking Down The Ellen Greenberg Timeline With Ret FBI Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer

    Breaking Down The Ellen Greenberg Timeline With Ret FBI Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer How do you call 911 about your fiancée’s death and somehow sound like you’re learning about it in real-time? That’s just one of the many bizarre questions surrounding this case. From an allegedly locked apartment door that somehow wasn't broken into, to a fiancée who seemingly discovers key details about the crime while on the phone with emergency dispatchers, nothing here adds up. And let’s not forget the conveniently timed 40-minute call with a judge uncle who then swoops in and collects all the digital devices. Just legal advice, or something more? With so much alleged incompetence (or something worse) muddying the waters, will the truth ever come out, or has this case been contaminated beyond repair? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeForEllen #CrimeMystery #FBIAnalysis #CorruptionOrIncompetence #UnansweredQuestions Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

  3. There Is No Evidence Of Suicide In The Ellen Greenberg Case, Why Won't Anyone Change The Ruling?

    There Is No Evidence Of Suicide In The Ellen Greenberg Case, Why Won't Anyone Change The Ruling?

    There Is No Evidence Of Suicide In The Ellen Greenberg Case, Why Won't Anyone Change The Ruling? Could a meeting behind closed doors really change the course of justice? That seems to be the case in the baffling and deeply frustrating story of Ellen Greenberg. One minute, a medical examiner was sure her death was a homicide. Then, after a mysterious discussion with law enforcement, the ruling flipped to suicide. Now, years later, he's changing his mind—again. But how does someone with stab wounds to the spine, aorta, and even post-mortem injuries manage to inflict them on themselves? Zombie logic? Or something far more sinister? Adding another layer to this mess, the so-called "investigation" saw crime scene cleanup crews rush in before a proper search was conducted. And if that wasn’t suspicious enough, Ellen’s fiancé allegedly called his uncle—a prominent ethics judge—who then conveniently took all of her digital devices from the scene. Because nothing screams "totally normal" like whisking away potential evidence before authorities even have a chance to take a look. Now, with a civil suit forcing evidence into the light and experts refusing to buy the official story, Ellen’s parents are closer than ever to uncovering the truth. But will the system finally admit to its failures, or will this case stay buried under bureaucratic nonsense? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #JusticeForEllen #HiddenKillers #CrimeSceneCoverUp #ColdCase #SuspiciousDeath Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

  4. Ellen Greenberg’s Family Secures Reopened Investigation as Forensic Expert Suggests Staged Crime Scene

    Ellen Greenberg’s Family Secures Reopened Investigation as Forensic Expert Suggests Staged Crime Scene

    The long-debated case of Ellen Greenberg is gaining renewed attention after a forensic expert hired by her family suggested that her 2011 death was staged to appear as a suicide. Dr. Wayne Ross, a forensic neuropathologist, told NewsNation’s Brian Entin that he believes Greenberg was strangled before being stabbed 20 times. “To a reasonable degree of medical certainty, she was strangled,” Ross said. “Yeah, I would testify in the court of law.” Greenberg, a 27-year-old teacher, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment by her fiancé, Sam Goldberg. She had suffered 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck. Initially, Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne ruled her death a homicide, but that determination was later changed to suicide after police questioned the findings. The family has long fought against the suicide ruling, believing crucial evidence was overlooked. One of the most concerning pieces of evidence, Ross pointed out, is a towel placed near Greenberg’s body that was clean despite the excessive amount of blood at the scene. He sees this as clear evidence that the scene may have been manipulated. “There are also bruises on her wrists and legs that suggest a struggle, as well as conflicting blood splatter patterns,” Ross noted. The case has drawn national scrutiny, with experts and the public questioning how a person could inflict such severe wounds on themselves. Recently, Osbourne, the medical examiner who first ruled Greenberg’s death a homicide, released a legal verification stating that he now believes the suicide ruling is inaccurate. In a significant development, Greenberg’s family reached a settlement agreement with Philadelphia officials to reopen the investigation. The new inquiry offers a glimmer of hope for her parents, who have spent over a decade fighting for justice. Her father, Josh Greenberg, has been vocal about his suspicions, stating that he believes his daughter was strangled before being stabbed. The case has also placed scrutiny on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who was Philadelphia’s district attorney at the time of Greenberg’s death. Addressing the case, Shapiro defended the initial investigation. With the case now reopened, forensic experts and investigators will have another opportunity to analyze the troubling evidence surrounding Greenberg’s death. Ross believes a deeper examination will reveal inconsistencies that support the family’s claim that she did not die by suicide. As the investigation moves forward, Greenberg’s family remains committed to uncovering the truth about what happened that night in her apartment. #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #JusticeForEllen #ColdCase #ForensicInvestigation #CrimeNews #LegalBattle Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

  5. Will Anyone Be Charged In The Murder Of Ellen Greenberg?

    Will Anyone Be Charged In The Murder Of Ellen Greenberg?

    How does a 27-year-old woman stab herself 20 times, including 10 times in the back of the neck, and still have the strength to drive a knife into her own chest? The answer is simple: she doesn’t. Yet, despite overwhelming forensic contradictions, the death of Ellen Greenberg was ruled a suicide after an initial homicide ruling was mysteriously reversed behind closed doors. The inconsistencies in this case are staggering: No real forced entry—but Sam Goldberg claimed he broke down the door to get inside. The doorman never saw him kick in the door, even though Sam swore he did. Blood evidence shows Ellen was moved after she died, contradicting Sam’s account. Her stab wounds included at least one inflicted post-mortem, meaning she was already dead when it happened. There were no hesitation wounds or defensive marks—highly unusual for a suicide. The knife was never tested for DNA or fingerprints. And the latest developments? The Philadelphia Medical Examiner has reopened the case after admitting "errors" in the suicide ruling. New forensic experts have publicly declared that the official cause of death is scientifically impossible. A civil trial is moving forward, bringing officials who were involved in the original ruling under legal scrutiny. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into every inconsistency, every forensic impossibility, and every unanswered question in the Ellen Greenberg case. Why was her death classified as a suicide? What does the new evidence reveal? And what will it take to finally get justice for Ellen? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    What Really Happened To Ellen Greenberg Is Slowly Coming To Light As Alibis Crumble & Officials Tell The Truth

    What kind of investigator looks at 22 stab wounds—some after death—and still calls it a suicide? That’s the mystery we’re unraveling today in the baffling case of Ellen Greenberg. For 14 years, logic has been tossed out the window while officials stuck to a ruling that defies all reason. But now, finally, something has shifted: the very medical examiner who once deemed Ellen’s death a suicide has reversed course, admitting that the manner of death should be reconsidered. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to dissect the investigative red flags, behavioral patterns, and the infuriating lack of action that allowed this case to sit unresolved for over a decade. From untested DNA and missing fingerprints to a complete failure to investigate possible suspects, the gaps in this case are as glaring as they are disturbing. Was this a colossal failure of the system, or was someone pulling the strings to ensure Ellen’s death remained classified as a suicide? And now that the truth is finally starting to crack through the surface—who’s about to be held accountable? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeForEllen #FBIAnalysis #CrimeCoverUp #MurderMystery Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Will There Ever Be Enough Evidence In Ellen Greenberg Murder Case To Convict Someone?

    How does someone stab themselves 20 times—many in the back and the head—and call it a suicide? That’s the baffling question at the heart of Ellen Greenberg’s case, a 27-year-old schoolteacher whose 2011 death was first ruled a homicide before being inexplicably changed to suicide. Now, after 14 years of frustration and unanswered questions, fresh developments are forcing authorities to take another look. From a medical examiner reversing their ruling to a bizarre settlement that compels the police to reopen the case, this tangled mess of a so-called investigation is finally being unraveled. And let’s not forget the doorman who, after years of being part of the official story, now says he wasn’t even there when the door was allegedly broken down. So, if the original “facts” of this case keep shifting, what exactly was the truth to begin with? And more importantly—who has been getting away with murder? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeForEllen #ColdCase #ForensicMystery #Unsolved Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
