Philadelphia officials have doubled down on their bizarre conclusion in the death of Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old teacher stabbed 20 times in her locked apartment back in 2011. The latest review from the city’s medical examiner’s office, released just days ago, sticks with the suicide label despite wounds to her back, neck, and head—plus a knife still lodged in her chest when her fiancé found her.
Greenberg came home early that January day due to a snowstorm, only to be discovered lifeless by Samuel Goldberg after he broke through the door. No forced entry, no struggle evident, and Goldberg never faced charges. Yet the initial autopsy called it homicide before a sudden switch to suicide following a huddle between the medical examiner and police detectives.
Former Pennsylvania Attorney General and current Governor Josh Shapiro was running the investigation at the time when it was officially ruled a suicide.
This new 32-page report, penned by Chief Medical Examiner Lindsay Simon as part of a February 2025 settlement with Greenberg’s parents, admits the wounds are odd but insists she did it to herself.
“While the distribution of injuries is admittedly unusual, the fact remains that Ellen would be capable of inflicting these injuries herself,” the document states.
It points to her anxiety issues, notes no DNA from Goldberg on the knife, and claims no signs of abuse in their relationship. The conclusion? “With all of this information considered, it is the opinion of the undersigned that the manner of Ellen Greenberg’s death is best classified as ‘suicide.'”
Her family’s lawyer, Joseph Podraza Jr., isn’t buying it one bit. He blasted the review as “a deeply flawed attempt to justify a predetermined conclusion” and “an embarrassment to the City, and an insult to Ellen and her family.” Podraza ripped into specifics: “It includes false claims like the assertion that a stab wound in Ellen’s spinal column was made during the autopsy, a theory rejected by every credible expert, including the City’s own neuropathologist.”
He added that it ignores bruises all over her body, missing security footage, an unbroken door lock, and evidence of a rocky relationship—plus 3D models showing she couldn’t have reached all those back wounds alone.
This isn’t just sloppy work; it smells like a deliberate whitewash. Why the rush to flip from homicide to suicide after that 2011 police meeting? Whispers of influence have dogged the case for years, with allegations that local bigwigs pulled strings to protect connected folks. Greenberg’s parents sued over what they called a “conspiracy to cover-up Ellen’s murder,” and even Wikipedia notes the uproar over those 10 back and neck stabs plus 11 bruises that scream foul play. Online forums buzz with theories that Philly’s elite circled the wagons, especially given Goldberg’s family ties to the legal world there.
The settlement forced this so-called independent look, but it delivered the same old story. Podraza summed up the family’s resolve: “Ellen’s family just wanted the truth. It is clear the truth will not come from Philadelphia’s law enforcement machinery. Though Ellen’s city turned its back on her, we will continue through other avenues to get justice for her murder, by any means necessary.”
As more details emerge—like the report revealing three extra wounds nobody mentioned before—the questions pile up. How does a locked room, bruising, and knife wounds in impossible spots add up to self-inflicted? This saga exposes how the system can bury inconvenient truths, leaving a murdered woman labeled as her own killer while the real culprits walk free. The fight for answers goes on, because some cover-ups refuse to stay buried.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.

I never believed crime stats coming out of blue cities but I thought the murder stats were reliable because there was a body you had to account for . Now obviously even that was wishful thinking
Looks like a job for Dexter.

We have entered a asymmetric spiritual war of which we have been forewarned.
No man, government, religion, philosophy, etc. can stop what is occurring around
the world. And that goes for churches that have fashioned their organizations
(denominations) after mans own design, not Gods Pattern for His Church
and Families.
Man’s churches are failing as we enter the end of days of which we have been
forewarned. Man’s Churches have assumed to themselves priesthoods and authority (as they supposed) thereby dividing believers one against another.They also assumed responsibilities which God ordained and appointed for Men and Women (The Family) not men’s churches. That is why Christian Families are failing like secular families.
What is God’s Church? It’s Jesus Christ and Born Again Believers having the indwelling of the Holy Spirit our True Guide, our True Teacher, our True Comforter along with God’s Word and the Testimony of His Creation. They are the living breathing Church Of God, adopted Sons and Daughters of God, destined to be with Him throughout eternity.
Money $$$ has no value here, no trips to Alaska, no books to buy, NO, none of that.

Dear Reader do you desire to know who is the Prince of this world and his followers? First read the Ten Commandments Thou shalt not as given in your Bible. Then read beginning with the 10th Commandment, saying Thou Shalt and you will apprehend the god of this world and those who follow him. Think about it.
I have heard numerous American so-called pastors say that women are equal to men. And it has been going on for decades. I don’t see any way to salvage a nation that is that far into homosexuality.
Someone called the rabbi and he made some calls to his Ni-Brit brothers, who then got in touch with the Governor who called to the Shabbis goy that made some payoffs and veiled threats.
They have all gone INSANE up there. Threatened, bribed, paid off, etc. Who knows but WE DO.
Husband did it and they are covering it up because they are Jewish.
