Pennsylvania: Ellen Greenberg
from True Crime in the 50 · host Katy Accardo
On January 26th, 2011, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania experienced a huge blizzard in the early afternoon hours. That is why Ellen Greenberg, an elementary school teacher at Juniata Park Academy, was sent home early to the Venice Lofts apartment that she shared with her fiance Sam Goldberg in the Manayunk area of Philadelphia. She and Sam had been engaged for about six months, but it seemed as if Ellen was not quite yet in the bridal state of mind. She had been having depression issues, and had been super stressed out with work. She had recently been to see a psychiatrist who prescribed a cocktail of medications for Ellen to help ease her anxiety and depression. But on that day, when Sam got home from work at around 4 pm, he decided to go to the gym in their building at around 4:50. By the time he got back up to their apartment, he was locked out and started to get concerned about Ellen. When he finally made it into the apartment, he saw Ellen slumped against the dishwasher with a knife through her heart. Sam was convinced she had committed suicide but her family and friends thought otherwise. What followed were court cases for years to solve the mystery: Was Ellen Greenberg murdered or did she die by her own hand?Show Notes:https://www.hulu.com/series/death-in-apartment-603-what-happened-to-ellen-greenberg-b0338377-2cf8-43c4-98b7-5f907e9d51d1
