As snow continued to blanket the city of Philadelphia on January 26, 2011, Ellen Greenberg, an elementary school teacher, headed home to her Manayunk neighborhood apartment that she shared with her fiancĂŠ. Just hours later, her fiancĂŠ was dialing 911 â he said he found Ellen âon the floor with blood everywhere,â before saying that she either stabbed herself or fell on a knife. Police arrived to the scene, and from the beginning, treated Ellenâs death like a suicide. After conducting an autopsy, the medical examinerâs office originally ruled her death a homicide, before reversing course and changing the manner of death to suicide. She was found dead with 20 stab wounds, including multiple to the back of her neck. For the last 14 years, Ellenâs parents, Sandee and Josh Greenberg, have been steadfast in their belief that their daughter was murdered and have been fighting to get justice for Ellen ever since. In February of 2025, the pathologist who originally conducted her autopsy said he now believes Ellen did not take her own life. Nancy Schwartzman, showrunner and director of âDeath in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?â joins Forbes True Crime to discuss her new series that revisits the case.
