    Ellen Greenberg Case Goes Inactive: Will New Evidence Ever Surface?

    Ellen Greenberg’s Stabbing Death: Why Justice Remains Elusive The death of Ellen Greenberg, a twenty-seven-year-old teacher who was found stabbed to death in her Philadelphia apartment, remains one of the most puzzling and controversial cases in recent memory. Ellen’s body was discovered on the kitchen floor, bearing twenty stab wounds, with ten of those injuries located on the back of her neck. The scene alone suggested a violent and horrifying end, one that appeared to be a clear-cut case of homicide. However, initial appearances quickly gave way to a series of shocking and contradictory developments. The Philadelphia medical examiner’s office first ruled Ellen’s death a homicide but later changed the ruling to suicide. The shift was met with disbelief from her family and forensic experts, many of whom have questioned how a person could inflict such extensive injuries on themselves. Ellen’s parents have been fighting to have the cause of death officially re-examined, arguing that the medical evidence does not support a suicide ruling. In their pursuit of justice, Ellen’s family has engaged forensic specialists and legal advocates. In 2022, her family’s legal team presented arguments emphasizing the physical impossibility of Ellen inflicting such wounds on herself. “The medical evidence simply doesn’t support the idea that Ellen could have done this to herself,” they said, highlighting the severe injuries and their locations. They continue to call for a change in the classification of her death. Amid growing public scrutiny, the case was transferred to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office in 2018. Investigators hoped that fresh eyes on the evidence would yield new insights. Yet, in 2022, the case was passed again, this time to Chester County Detectives. Each agency reviewed the evidence meticulously but ultimately concluded that there wasn’t enough proof to pursue criminal charges. Chester County officials explained that the legal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt” had not been met, a reality that leaves the case at a frustrating standstill. "Based on the current state of evidence, we found we couldn't prove a crime was committed beyond a reasonable doubt," the Chester County District Attorney’s Office stated. The office emphasized that while the investigation has been placed in inactive status, it remains open to the possibility of new evidence emerging. “This standard of proof—beyond a reasonable doubt—makes the criminal investigation different than other legal cases or issues that surround Ms. Greenberg’s death,” their statement read. Yet, this decision has only deepened the anguish of Ellen’s loved ones. Her parents remain steadfast in their belief that the truth about their daughter’s death will one day come to light. “We will never stop fighting for Ellen,” they said. Despite this setback, they are comforted by the fact that Pennsylvania law has no statute of limitations for criminal homicide, meaning that the case, while inactive, is not closed. For now, the haunting questions surrounding Ellen Greenberg’s death remain unanswered. The lack of closure continues to fuel speculation and skepticism, while her family and supporters hold on to hope that one day, justice will prevail. #EllenGreenberg #UnsolvedMystery #TrueCrime #JusticeForEllen #Philadelphia #ColdCase #ForensicInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    No Charges in Ellen Greenberg’s Death Despite 20 Stab Wounds, DA Rules

    Prosecutors in Philadelphia have dealt another setback to the family of Ellen Greenberg, a young teacher whose mysterious 2011 death was controversially ruled a suicide despite more than 20 stab wounds. The Chester County District Attorney’s Office has now concluded that there is insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges. Ellen Greenberg, 27, was discovered dead in her apartment on January 26, 2011. Her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, found her slumped against kitchen cabinets with a knife embedded in her chest. The scene was deeply unsettling: the beloved elementary school teacher had suffered 20 stab wounds, including gashes to her back, neck, and head. Initially, Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne ruled Greenberg’s death a homicide. However, the police quickly challenged this, and the classification was changed to suicide without a clear explanation, sparking outrage and confusion among those closest to her. For the past 13 years, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, Ellen’s parents, have waged a relentless campaign for justice, pushing authorities to reconsider the circumstances of their daughter’s violent death. This week, however, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office announced that it could not pursue criminal charges. The office, which began reviewing the case in 2022, stated it could not meet the legal burden of proving a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. “This standard of proof – beyond a reasonable doubt – makes the criminal investigation different than other legal cases or issues that surround Ms. Greenberg’s death,” a spokesperson explained. “Because we cannot meet our burden of proof with the information and evidence presently available, we placed this investigation in an inactive status.” Despite the setback, the DA’s office emphasized that the case could be reopened if new evidence comes to light, as there is no statute of limitations for homicide in Pennsylvania. Greenberg’s family expressed disappointment but remained steadfast in their belief that Ellen was murdered. “Our conviction about Ellen having been murdered does not change due to the announcement by the Chester County District Attorney’s Office,” said the family’s attorney, Joseph Podraza Jr., in a statement to NBC Philadelphia. He criticized the DA’s investigation, stating, “The office did not investigate the core issues which we have raised, which establish Ellen was murdered, and that evidence remains unchallenged.” Podraza also highlighted that a former Philadelphia homicide prosecutor, who conducted an independent review of the case, concluded Ellen’s death was indeed a murder. “We now look forward to an upcoming trial where a full and forthright examination of the core issues surrounding Ellen’s murder may be publicly conducted before an independent Judge and jury of our peers,” he added. Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed to consider the family’s case. The court will address whether executors and administrators have the right to challenge a death certificate’s finding, especially if it obstructs legal actions such as wrongful death claims or victim compensation. Additionally, the Greenbergs have filed civil lawsuits over the years, targeting officials in the medical examiner’s office, the police department, and the DA’s office, arguing that their daughter’s case was mishandled. As the legal battle continues, Ellen’s parents hold out hope that new developments will finally bring them the answers and accountability they seek. ### #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllen #Philadelphia #UnsolvedMystery #ChesterCountyDA #TrueCrime #PennsylvaniaJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    The Evidence That Someone Didn't Want To Surface in Ellen Greenberg's Case Is Being Exposed

    Why would someone stab themselves 20 times and call it a suicide? That’s what everyone’s been asking in the case of Ellen Greenberg, a 20-something teacher found dead in her apartment, stabbed repeatedly, with some of the wounds being post-mortem. Despite this, her death was ruled a suicide, leaving everyone scratching their heads for more than a decade. Now, with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ready to revisit the case and new evidence shedding light on some serious inconsistencies, people are finally starting to ask the right questions. Robin Dreeke, former FBI Special Agent, joins Tony Brueski to dive into this baffling case, exploring how such a staggering misclassification of death could happen and, more shockingly, how it has stayed that way for so long. Were powerful connections involved in covering up what really happened? Why didn’t anyone take the post-mortem stab wounds and bruises seriously from the start? And who exactly had the influence to keep all eyes off of a potential murder for over ten years? As this case continues to unravel, we’re left wondering—was Ellen Greenberg’s death really a suicide, or are we about to witness one of the most astonishing cases of corruption and cover-ups finally come to light? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #Corruption #UnsolvedMystery #JusticeForEllen #FBI #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeToday #ColdCase #SuicideOrMurder Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    How does someone stab themselves 20 times, half of those after they’ve already died? That's the big question in the case of Ellen Greenberg, the schoolteacher whose death was ruled a suicide despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Bruises, post-mortem stab wounds, and a fiancé whose 911 call leaves more questions than answers – it’s all so strange that it feels like someone, somewhere, is hiding something. And what about the medical examiner? Is this incompetence, or something much darker? Why does this case struggle to gain traction, even in an era of true crime obsession?
