Summary

Why Has Ellen Greenberg’s Case Been Buried for 14 Years? Corruption or Cover-Up?

For 14 years, Ellen Greenberg’s death has sat in legal limbo. After being ruled a suicide despite 20 stab wounds, her case has been passed from agency to agency, each refusing to take responsibility. The District Attorney recused himself, the Attorney General’s office punted it back, and county prosecutors declined to act. The result: no arrests, no suspect, and no justice.

In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins the discussion to unravel how the system has failed Ellen Greenberg. Why did the medical examiner reverse an initial homicide ruling after a private meeting with police? Why have officials fought against reopening the case despite mounting evidence? And is this incompetence — or something more deliberate?

The Greenberg family has fought tirelessly for answers, but every attempt to force accountability has been stalled or buried. We explore the political dimensions of the case, including questions about then–Attorney General Josh Shapiro, now Governor of Pennsylvania, and whether connections or corruption played a role in shutting down the investigation.

This is more than a case about one woman’s death. It’s about what happens when a justice system chooses to protect itself instead of the people it serves.

There should be a checklist of things that you do when somebody has died.

1:29.5

And I feel like they just checked everything off and went, oh, we didn't do it. Again, the fingerprinting, I think,

1:33.5

would have been a really important thing to do. This happened in 2011. So, you know, there

weren't ring cameras. There weren't things like that. So you don't have surveillance to look into. You don't have. No, you're at surveillance to look into.
