In January 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment by her fiancé, Sam. The door was locked from the inside with a swing bar latch, so at first glance, it seemed like a tragic suicide. But when the medical examiner discovered 20 stab wounds—yes, 20—to her chest, head, and the back of her neck, they ruled it a homicide. The police, however, disagreed. Despite the unending and unanswered questions, they stuck to their guns and called it a suicide. But what really happened to Ellen?
