Episode 143: The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg
A vibrant young woman was found by her fiancé, stabbed to death inside their shared apartment. Police arrived, found she suffered twenty stab wounds to her front and back, and quickly determined her cause of death was… suicide? The Medical Examiner first disagreed and called it a homicide, but caved to pressure and changed his opinion to suicide. Now her parents have assembled a team of world-renowned forensic experts who all agree on one thing - their daughter was killed by someone else’s hand. Will a civil lawsuit help put them on a path to justice? This week’s episode is the mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg.
