Summary

20 Stab Wounds, a Cleaned Crime Scene, and No Charges: What Really Happened to Ellen Greenberg?

She was 27. A teacher. Engaged. Found with 20 stab wounds — 10 to the back of her neck — and a knife lodged in her chest.

This is the case of Ellen Greenberg, and what’s coming to light now in the Hulu docuseries Death in Apartment 603 is nothing short of staggering.

In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, we take you through the most disturbing parts of this case: the 911 call that framed Ellen’s death as a suicide before CPR even began, the crime scene that was cleaned before detectives could investigate, the devices removed from the apartment by her fiancé’s uncle, and the original homicide ruling that quietly got reversed with no new evidence.

You’ll hear how Sam Goldberg, her fiancé, was seen pacing the hallway, agitated and shouting. How the scene was described as “serene” by the property manager — like someone had cleaned up before investigators ever got there. And how professional hazmat crews ran the dishwasher and wiped everything down before detectives returned to what was, at one point, being treated as a suspicious death.

We also dig into Sam’s strange postmortem behavior. The texts. The conversations. The chilling lack of questions. And the now-infamous moment where he reportedly asked, “Do you think I killed her?”

This isn’t just a bad investigation. This is what it looks like when a system decides to stop asking questions — even when the answers are bleeding from every angle of the scene.

Was it a cover-up? Or the most catastrophic series of investigative failures we’ve seen in recent memory?


Watch the segment. Hear the audio. Follow the timeline.
 And then ask yourself — if this isn’t murder, what is?
Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

0:14.1

The Ellen Greenberg documentary, if you have watched it on Hulu, good.

0:27.4

Now it's time to be enraged. Now is time to express some concern. Let your voice be heard because this is a case that hasn't had enough voices behind it,

0:33.1

for whatever reason it may be. Maybe it's because it uses icky words, words that we can't say right now

0:39.0

because it might upset the gods at YouTube. So we'll use a word unalive instead of, you know,

0:44.3

the other word that starts with an S. Just so you're aware of that, maybe it's because it talks

0:50.0

about someone's life being gone. Maybe it's because there's certain people involved in this case

0:55.5

that don't want information getting out about it.

0:58.2

That's crossed the mind of many as well,

1:00.6

who've also been trying to report in this case

for the last many of years.

1:18.2

the Ellen Greenberg case. And this family, her parents, and justice for Ellen, very important

1:25.6

because it needs public pressure, Because the laws haven't worked.

1:29.5

Because the lawsuits haven't worked. Because common sense that says, if you stab yourself 20 times,

1:36.6

including post-mortem stabs, well, that's not unaliving yourself. That's someone else unaliving you.

1:46.0
