Ellen Greenberg

Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher, was found dead in her apartment on January 26, 2011, with multiple stab wounds to her chest and a knife embedded in her body. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner initially ruled her death a homicide based on 20 stab wounds, but weeks later changed the manner of death to suicide without explanation to her family, citing web searches for suicide methods and text messages showing mental distress. Her parents have spent over a decade challenging the ruling through civil litigation and independent forensic experts, questioning how the death could be self-inflicted given the nature and location of the wounds and inconsistencies in the investigation.
