from Koltergeist: True Crime Stories
On a cold January evening in 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg, a beloved teacherand bride-to-be, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stabwounds—10 of which were to the back of her head and neck. Despite the medicalexaminer determining the manner of death as a homicide, it was never reallyinvestigated as such. The medical examiner then suddenly changed the manner ofdeath to suicide-and then changed it yet again, but the story doesn’t end there. Ellen’sfamily and many experts have raised compelling questions about the clearly bungledinvestigation. On this episode of Koltergeist we’ll delve into the evidence, the autopsyfindings, and a brand new bombshell to ask the difficult question—who killed EllenGreenberg?References:Ellen Greenberg - Crime TimelineEllen Greenberg died by ‘suicide’ with 20 stab wounds.
