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.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.

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.
