Ellen Greenberg, 27, was found dead on the kitchen floor with 20 stab wounds in her apartment in Philadelphia on January 26, 2011.
Greenberg had a journal that could hold vital clues to the teacher’s life which was found with 20 stab wounds in what could be called a ‘suicide’. It is 13 years later and the authorities are yet to return the journal to her parents.
She was found with 10 stab wounds to her neck and the back of the head, and 10 to her stomach, abdomen and chest with a 10-inch knife still plunged into her heart.
Ast. Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne who examined her body had ruled her death a homicide, but after several meeting with police and prosecutors, changed it to suicide. However, we gathered that Greenberg’s parents have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, trying to reverse the death certificate change to suicide.
Her parents convinced it’s a suicide, and suicide is not a crime. So they wonder why the police have refused to give them their daughter’s property. They affirm they have never seen the journal nor even know what it looks like. Her mom said many times she visited the Philadelphia police station but was refused the journal.
Sandee said she only knew the journal existed because one of the employees at the medical examiner’s office told her about it on the night of her death as he was recounting how many anxiety pills Greenberg had left.
In a interview with Sandee, Greenberg’ mom, she recounted that Greenberg was told to keep a journal by her therapist to ‘explain how she was feeling’. She believes the contents of the journal could explain the ordeal of the last few weeks of her life before her death.
Greenberg’s fiancé Sam Goldberg gave his story, how he bursted her door down which was locked from the inside, found her on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood and knife on her chest, attempted CPR but was to no avail.
The Philadelphia police are also yet to give back many of her other possessions such as her clothes, boots, glasses and devices, held in their possession for the past 13 years now.
