  • Episode 91: The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg
    May 12 2025

    In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the sad and strangely mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg.


    On January 26, 2011, Ellen Greenberg would be found dead in her apartment in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that she shared with her fiance.


    Ellen's death is at first ruled as a homicide by the Philadelphia Medical Examiner Dr. Marlon Osborne; however, the Philadelphia Police Department decide that lack of an intruder made the scene look like a suicide; even though Ellen sustained twenty stab wounds --many of which, were to the back of her neck and head area.


    The Philadelphia ME would change the manner of death to suicide which would lead Ellen's parents on a 14 year legal battle with the state of Pennsylvania.


    Listen to hear full details and note the actual 911 call is included in the episode.

looking at the other reviews they say too much banter. I kinda like that myself. It's a new pod and I'm sure they will just get better and better and listen to some of yalls critiques. I think they are growing just fine and it will just get better as they go. Here's to you ladies. Look forward to yall every week.

You can feel the friendship between the two and that they are trying their best to make a great podcast.

I'd give 5 stars if the banter was significantly reduced. One episode had nearly 20 minutes of side conversation before getting to the story. The Enola and aunt caroline episodes were top notch, though.

The content is fantastic

Good stories but calm down and get to it. Your stories could be greatly tightened up.
