In this episode, Jonathan revisits one of the most debated death investigations in recent years — the case of Ellen Greenberg, a 27 year old Philadelphia school teacher found with 20 stab wounds in her apartment in 2011. Initially ruled a homicide and then changed to suicide weeks later, the case sparked public outrage, national media coverage and more than a decade of legal battles by Ellen’s family who insist she could not have done this to herself.  

Jonathan walks through the timeline, the autopsy findings, the conflicting rulings, the legal fight to change the manner of death, and the recent 2025 decision that once again labeled her death a suicide. He also reflects on what this case reveals about trust in institutions, the weight of unanswered questions, and why families fight so relentlessly for the truth. 

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
