Summary

PART TWO: On January 26, 2011, twenty-seven-year-old first-grade teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with twenty-three stab wounds and more than thirty bruises. Despite the violence of the scene, her death was ruled a suicide—a ruling that has been challenged for more than a decade by Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg. The case has since become one of the most hotly debated unsolved deaths in the country, raising questions about investigative integrity, forensic inconsistencies, and what justice really looks like when institutions close ranks. In this two-part episode, we revisit Ellen’s case through the lens of the Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603 and the newly released 2025 report by Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lindsay Simon, which once again reaffirms suicide as the official manner of death. We unpack the new findings, the conflicting expert opinions, and the haunting contradictions that still surround the case. Join us as we look closer at a case where every answer seems to lead to another question. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
