Summary

Could a person really stab themselves 20 times, including post-mortem wounds, and call it suicide? That’s the mind-bending official ruling in the case of Ellen Greenberg—a 27-year-old teacher from Philly who was found dead in her apartment in 2011. A decade later, the bizarre inconsistencies and shocking twists continue to pile up.

Despite overwhelming evidence that defies logic, Ellen’s death was labeled a suicide—after initially being ruled a homicide. Now, the medical examiner is backpedaling again, saying it was “something other than suicide,” but stopping short of calling it murder. So, what exactly does that leave? Death by spontaneous self-inflicted zombie wounds?

Shavaun Scott, psychotherapist and author, joins Tony Brueski to break down the emotional and psychological toll this nightmare has taken on Ellen’s family, who have been fighting tooth and nail for the truth. And with evidence tampered with, a crime scene scrubbed clean, and zero proper investigative procedures followed, the bigger question remains—who wanted this case buried so badly?

And maybe the most disturbing part—why does it seem like everyone outside of Ellen’s family just wanted people to look the other way?

0:13.7	This is a case that, you know, we've been talking about for quite some time.
0:19.0	But now, finally, maybe getting closer to maybe some justice here,
0:24.4	Ellen Greenberg, the 27-year-old teacher from Philly, whose death back in 2011 has more twists than a
0:31.3	roller coaster. Ellen was found in her apartment with over 20 stab wounds. And while her death was
0:36.6	called a homicide, it was then switched to

0:53.0	Javon, from your perspective, how do you think these back and forth conclusions

1:10.4	Yeah, 14 years of hell for the family.
1:13.4	And I think this has just been absolutely tormenting for them,
1:17.9	knowing that there was something, a grave injustice,
1:22.5	something terribly wrong with the medical examiner.
1:26.0	I mean, what's his name, Marlon Osborne. It's insane.
1:32.2	And the allegation that she killed herself by stabbing herself in the back, and it just is probably
1:41.3	the weirdest one we've seen as far as being a potential cover-up, screw-up,
1:47.1	who knows what the whole story is.
1:49.5	But I would imagine the family is greatly relieved at this point that at least it's going to be looked at.
1:56.9	Yes.
