When 27-year-old schoolteacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment—stabbed 20 times, including 10 times in the back of her neck and back—authorities quickly labeled it a suicide. But how does someone stab themselves in the spine? How does a body end up with bruises in various stages of healing, a knife lodged in the chest, and no note… and it’s still ruled self-inflicted?
In this episode, we walk you through the blizzardy afternoon of January 26, 2011, the bizarre crime scene, the chilling 911 call, and the autopsy that first ruled Ellen’s death a homicide—before authorities abruptly changed their story.
With quotes from official reports, interviews, and forensic experts, this is the story of a locked-door mystery that never added up… and a family that refused to let their daughter be forgotten.
Was Ellen’s death really a suicide—or did someone get away with murder?
