From Teacher to Tragedy: Breaking Down Ellen Greenberg’s Mental State | Psych Expert Weighs In

From Teacher to Tragedy: Breaking Down Ellen Greenberg’s Mental
State | Psych Expert Weighs In

Was Ellen Greenberg’s death the result of a private mental health
spiral — or a sign of something far more sinister?
 In this deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers
Live, we’re joined by psychotherapist Shavaun
Scott to explore the emotional and behavioral profile of
Ellen Greenberg as portrayed in the new Hulu documentary Death in
Apartment 603.

We begin not with the crime scene — but with the person. Ellen
was a 27-year-old first-grade teacher, beloved by her students
and deeply connected to her family and friends. She was newly
engaged. Planning a wedding. Dreaming of a family. So how did we
go from that… to 20 stab wounds and a suicide ruling?

In this episode, we walk through three major psychological layers
of the case:

Ellen’s emotional withdrawal — When she started
pulling back from friends and stopped wearing her engagement
ring, was it anxiety, relationship strain… or something more
dangerous?

The medical record — Ellen had seen a
psychiatrist three times and was prescribed Klonopin and Ambien.
But she never disclosed suicidal thoughts. In
fact, her doctor noted that she smiled when talking about her
fiancé. So how did that turn into the primary justification for a
suicide ruling?

The body tells a different story — Ellen had
20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back
of her neck, and bruises in various stages of
healing. We ask: what does that kind of physical trauma
suggest psychologically — especially in a case with no note, no
history of self-harm, and no pattern of detachment?

Together with Shavaun, we try to answer one central question:
Does this case look anything like suicide — or have we
all been forced to believe something that simply doesn’t make
psychological sense?
Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death,
has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case.
He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide.
All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent
unless proven otherwise.
