Summary
The mystery of Ellen Greenberg’s death doesn’t end with her wounds or her fiancé’s 911 call. When investigators looked at the scene, basic questions about evidence and eyewitnesses were ignored or dismissed. And to this day, those contradictions remain unexplained.
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we examine the many red flags in the case. Sam Goldberg claimed he couldn’t enter the apartment because the swing-bar lock was latched from the inside — a fact investigators used to dismiss the idea of an intruder. Yet the photos of the door damage don’t match his story. To make matters worse, the apartment’s security guard later said he never assisted Sam in breaking the door, directly contradicting Sam’s account.
And then there’s the evidence that was never collected at all. Police failed to fingerprint either of the two knives found at the scene. They didn’t dust the apartment for prints. A professional cleanup was authorized within hours, wiping away anything else that might have been found.
Ellen’s family has spent more than a decade asking for a proper investigation. Instead, they’ve been met with stonewalling and excuses. This conversation unpacks the missing fingerprints, the questionable door lock evidence, and the unexplained engagement ring left on the counter — all details that point to a case that was shut down before it ever had a chance to begin.
