Major News in the Ellen Greenberg Case
I'm going to be covering this in-depth on YouTube tonight at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, but for now, here's the news and my thoughts:
For the first time in nearly fourteen years, an investigative agency has finally recognized what Ellen Greenberg’s family has been saying all along: Ellen’s death was not a suicide.
Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe informed the Greenbergs in a meeting yesterday that while there isn’t enough current evidence to press criminal charges, the case would remain open. This is a huge step forward for Josh and Sandee Greenberg, who have spent years running into one brick wall after another.
Ellen was found dead in her apartment on January 26, 2011, with 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her head and neck. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office initially ruled her death a homicide before changing it to a suicide under unclear circumstances. Since then, the case has moved through multiple agencies, with each one affirming the suicide ruling despite mounting evidence that suggests otherwise.
When conflicts of interest emerged, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office referred the case to Chester County in 2022, where the DA’s office has now completed its own review.
In today’s announcement, the Chester County DA’s Office said they could not bring charges based on current evidence.
