Ellen Greenberg Case: The Most Botched Crime Scene Cover-Up You’ve Never Heard Of

Ellen Greenberg Case: The Most Botched Crime Scene Cover-Up
You’ve Never Heard Of

What if the crime scene was already erased… before police
ever began investigating?
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig deep into the
moments that should have triggered a full-blown homicide
investigation in the death of Ellen Greenberg — but instead,
signaled something very different: silence, shortcuts, and
possibly, cover-up.

We examine Sam Goldberg’s behavior, as witnessed
by a building staffer who saw him pacing the hallway, visibly
agitated, shouting that he was going to "knock the f---ing door
down." And then, we look at what happened after Ellen was
pronounced dead — when the police labeled it suicide on scene,
and the apartment was released, not
preserved.

By the very next day, professional crime scene
cleaners were scrubbing the apartment. Items were moved.
Dishes were run through the dishwasher. And then, a man who
wasn’t even related to Ellen — her fiancé’s uncle — was allowed
inside to remove her electronic devices,
including laptops and phones, before any forensic work was done.
That uncle? A politically connected Philadelphia attorney.

From there, it only gets more troubling:
 • Devices were returned days later, with no clear chain of
custody.
 • The original homicide ruling by the medical examiner was
reversed — without new forensic evidence.
 • Police later cited mental health issues, based on
statements from the same person who discovered her.

And years later? That same person reportedly never
questioned the suicide ruling and told others, “That’s
just what it was.”

This isn’t just bad policing. This is what it looks like
when a homicide becomes a narrative control exercise.
And the closer you look, the worse it gets.

Was this a cover-up? Or was it a case of every system doing the
wrong thing at the worst possible time?
Let’s break it down.

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.
