  • Listen To The Extremely Suspicious Ellen Greenberg 911
    Aug 17 2024
    The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently announced it would examine whether the family has legal standing to challenge the medical report. This review is significant because the current classification of suicide on Ellen’s death certificate presents substantial barriers to seeking victim compensation, restitution, or pursuing wrongful death claims. The court's decision to take up this appeal, previously rejected by the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, underscores its importance as a "matter of statewide importance."

  • The Murder Of Ellen Greenberg A Conversation With Family's PI Thomas Brennan Part 5
    Aug 16 2024
    In a compelling five-episode series, Tony Brueski delves into the mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg with Thomas Brennan, the private investigator hired by Greenberg's parents. This gripping podcast reveals fresh insights into a case that has baffled many, as overwhelming evidence suggests murder, yet the Philadelphia police continue to classify her death as a suicide.

    Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old teacher, was found bloodied and lifeless on the kitchen floor of her Philadelphia apartment on January 26, 2011. Her body bore 20 stab wounds: ten to the back of her head and neck, and ten to her abdomen, stomach, and chest. The gruesome discovery was made by her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, who reported that he had to force entry into the apartment when he couldn’t get in. His frantic call to 911, later released by the police, captures the panic of the moment as he was instructed not to perform CPR due to the knife still lodged in her chest.

    The case took a controversial turn when an assistant Philadelphia medical examiner initially ruled Greenberg's death a homicide, only to later change the classification to suicide after consulting with police and prosecutors. This decision has been fiercely contested by Greenberg's family, who have never believed that Ellen took her own life.

    The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently announced it would examine whether the family has legal standing to challenge the medical report. This review is significant because the current classification of suicide on Ellen’s death certificate presents substantial barriers to seeking victim compensation, restitution, or pursuing wrongful death claims. The court's decision to take up this appeal, previously rejected by the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, underscores its importance as a "matter of statewide importance."

    "The court will consider whether executors and administrators of an estate have standing to challenge an erroneous finding recorded on the decedent's death certificate," the announcement read. This could set a precedent that impacts not only the Greenberg family but other families facing similar legal hurdles.

    Throughout the podcast series, Thomas Brennan provides a detailed analysis of the evidence, highlighting inconsistencies and questioning the physical plausibility of self-infliction of such severe wounds. His insights align with the opinions of various medical experts who have voiced doubts about the suicide ruling.

    "From the beginning, there were red flags that were ignored or dismissed," Brennan states in the podcast. "The nature and number of Ellen's wounds raise serious questions about the initial findings."

    The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's involvement brings renewed hope that the official stance on Ellen’s death might finally change. With the family’s relentless pursuit of justice, there is optimism that Ellen Greenberg’s case will receive the thorough re-evaluation it deserves. The outcome of the court's review could pave the way for new investigations and potentially, a reclassification of her death, which would open avenues for legal actions and victim compensation previously unavailable to the Greenberg family.
