“Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg’s Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg
What happens when the system doesn’t just fail you — it rewrites the story entirely?
In this emotionally raw and deeply insightful episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to discuss the most disturbing layer of the Ellen Greenberg case: the aftermath.
After Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 to the back of her neck — the medical examiner originally ruled her death a homicide. But that ruling was quietly reversed after a meeting with police. No new evidence. No second autopsy. Just a narrative pivot that reshaped everything.
And because it was ruled a suicide, the apartment wasn’t preserved. It was cleaned. Her devices were removed by her fiancé’s uncle. Chain of custody was destroyed. Crime scene photos were incomplete. And the investigation? Essentially shut down.
In this segment, we explore the psychological impact of institutional betrayal — not just on Ellen’s family, but on every family forced to accept a story that doesn’t make sense. We also dig into:
-
Why families are often shamed into silence when they challenge suicide rulings
- What it means when someone close to the victim — like a fiancé — shows no visible grief or curiosity
- How mental health labels like “anxious” are weaponized to close cases
- And whether emotional closure is still possible when legal justice never comes
