Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious.

There are cases that are confounding and there are cases that just defy logic.

In a case that in New York City is really getting under my skin. It has echoes of the Ellen Greenberg case in Philly, but also the Sandra Burchmore case in Massachusetts.

These are cases where someone, somehow, decided that these young women killed themselves when the evidence really screams otherwise.

And now you can add the name Sonam Kishitrea to the list.

Sonam's death was ruled a suicide, but I am going to tell you right now, I do not believe

for a minute that this woman killed herself.

And I have my reasons, which I'm going to share with you shortly,

but my reasons are nothing compared to the reasons her family discovered

after the medical examiner basically gave the Heisman to them

and said, nothing to see here. On your way.

Here's why it's giving the same vibes as Ellen

Greenberg's story. And I'm assuming you're going to remember Ellen Greenberg. But if not, there is a

bang-in docu series that just dropped on Hulu about Ellen's story. Ellen Greenberg was stabbed 20 times, and somehow her death was ruled a suicide, even though

half of those stab wounds were to the back of her head and her neck.

And at least one of the stab wounds was inflicted after she was already dead.

So, yeah, you tell me, yet officials still called this a suicide.

Her parents moved heaven and earth to open that case back up and at least give it the possibility that officials might consider she was murdered. Still in the view of

the chief medical examiner of Philadelphia, Ellen somehow did this to herself. I know. When I look at

the diagram, it's just like, who the hell are you trying to kid? Right? Josh and Sandy Greenberg,

Ellen's parents, contested that finding, as we all would, all the way to the state's highest

court. And finally, this case is being revisited. Look, it is not unheard of for a murder to initially be ruled a suicide, which brings me to Sandra Birchmore's case.
