The parents of Ellen Greenberg are relentlessly pursuing justice for their daughter’s mysterious death, which authorities initially ruled as a suicide.
In a conversation with investigative journalist Anne Emerson, aired on ABC 7, Ellen’s parents, Sandee and Josh Greenberg, have expressed their desire for Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, to provide his account of the events surrounding her tragic demise. As of now, Goldberg remains silent on the matter.
CrimeOnline has previously detailed the case of Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old first-grade teacher who was discovered with fatal stab wounds in her Manayunk apartment in 2011. According to Goldberg, he had left Ellen in the kitchen preparing fruit while he went to the gym.
Upon returning, Goldberg reportedly found the apartment’s front door locked from the inside with a swing lock. Despite multiple attempts to contact Ellen by calling and texting her, and after being unable to secure assistance from the apartment management, Goldberg resorted to forcibly breaking the lock to gain entry.
He returned home to find the front door locked, with the swing lock attached to the inside side of the door, according to what he told police.
Goldberg said he called and texted Ellen numerous times, but when he couldn’t get an answer and couldn’t get help from the apartment management, he broke the lock himself.

Inside the apartment, Ellen was found slumped over in the kitchen, with “some of her upper body/shoulders resting against the lower half of the white kitchen cabinets,” court documents stated.
Police have not arrested Goldberg or named him a suspect.
Earlier this month, according to DailyMail, Goldberg was spotted in New York City, but when questioned about the case, he fled into a building.
Meanwhile, a Philadelphia judge ruled Friday that a lawsuit can proceed against several city officials over the handling of Greenberg’s death.
The federal government requested documents last month from the Philadelphia Police Department and other official agencies, in connection with the case.
The judge dismissed the lawsuit for one defendant — a police supervisor who was a sergeant at the time of Greenberg’s death in 2011 — but other officials with the city’s police department and medical examiner’s office remain defendants.
“It’s very good news in that it takes things out of the state of Philadelphia which we cannot trust and places it in the hands of the federal government,’ Sandee told DailyMail.
“There’s been so much corruption they need fresh eyes on it… It’s been a very long time coming. January 26 will be 15 years but we’re gaining momentum and Ellen knows.”.
