Family Still Fighting for Answers
A Mysterious Death
When 27-year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment during a 2011 snowstorm,
the community was shocked. She had suffered multiple stab wounds.
Though the case began as a homicide, it was later ruled a suicide—a decision still questioned today.
Conflicting Findings
Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, said he found the apartment locked from the inside and discovered her body after forcing the door open.
Police found no signs of forced entry or struggle.
The medical examiner first called it homicide, then changed it to suicide after consulting with investigators.
Family’s Fight for Answers
Ellen’s parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, have never accepted the ruling.
Independent experts have argued her wounds seem inconsistent with self-inflicted harm.
A Search for Justice
Despite officials reaffirming the suicide finding, the Greenbergs plan to keep pushing for a full,
transparent review—driven by love, persistence, and a demand for truth.
