31: The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg - What Happened in Apartment 603?
In this chilling and heartbreaking episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland takes a deep dive into one of the most baffling and controversial cases of the last decade. The mysterious death of Ellen Rae Greenberg.
Ellen was a beloved 27-year-old schoolteacher living in Philadelphia, newly engaged, planning her wedding, and adored by her students, family, and friends. But in January 2011, she was found dead in her apartment with twenty stab wounds, including several to the back of her neck. And yet, her death was ruled a suicide.
From the moment first responders arrived at the scene, questions began to surface. Why were key witnesses never interviewed? Why was a search warrant issued after people had already entered the apartment and removed evidence? And why did the medical examiner change the ruling from homicide to suicide after meeting with police and the district attorney’s office?
Over the years, Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have fought tirelessly to uncover the truth. Their heartbreaking pursuit of justice has exposed troubling inconsistencies, shifting narratives, and questionable handling of evidence. Despite the mounting forensic doubts and expert testimony, the official cause of death was once again reaffirmed as suicide in 2025. Reigniting public outrage and renewing calls for transparency and accountability.
In this episode, Brooke unpacks the timeline, the crime scene, and the ever-growing list of unanswered questions surrounding Ellen’s death. She explores the theories that have emerged, the shocking developments that continue to unfold, and the haunting reality of how a case like this could remain unresolved for so long.
This is not just a story about mystery. It’s a story about power, process, and persistence. About a family’s unrelenting search for justice and the disturbing gaps that still remain in the official story.
🎧 Turn down the lights, settle in, and listen closely. The details of Ellen Greenberg’s case will stay with you long after the episode ends.
