22: How Did Ellen Greenberg's Impossible 'Suicide' Never Get Investigated As Murder?

Justice For Ellen Greenberg

In this episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the perplexing case of Ellen Greenberg, who died from what was initially ruled a suicide but involved circumstances so bizarre that they beggar belief. Ellen, a beloved teacher, was allegedly found to have stabbed herself 20 times, with some wounds inflicted post-mortem. Shavaun critiques the implausibility of the suicide ruling and delves into the troubling aspects of the investigation, including the swift change from homicide to suicide influenced by high-powered decisions. The conversation explores potential oversights and errors in the investigation, including the behavior of Ellen’s ex-fiancé and the handling of the crime scene by authorities. The podcast touches on the ongoing struggle of Ellen's family to reclassify her death as a homicide and the broader implications of justice and investigative integrity in such disturbing cases.
**Main Points of the Conversation:**
- **Bizarre Case Details:** Ellen Greenberg was found dead with 20 stab wounds in a case initially ruled as suicide, despite the implausible nature of the injuries.
- **Investigation Flaws:** The quick reclassification of the case from homicide to suicide raised concerns about the influence of external pressures and potential mishandling by authorities.
- **Ex-Fiancé’s Role:** The behavior and actions of Ellen’s ex-fiancé during and after her death were questioned, particularly his immediate assumption and statement that Ellen had stabbed herself.
- **Family’s Fight for Justice:** Ellen’s family has been actively working to have her death reclassified as a homicide to ensure a thorough investigation into what they believe to be her murder.
- **Legal and Psychological Implications:** Discussion on the need for a psychological autopsy and reevaluation of the evidence, considering there was no apparent motive or mental health history that would support the suicide ruling.
