New Developments in the Ellen Greenberg Case. Philadelphia Officials Reached an Agreement to Reopen the Teacher’s Death Investigation

New developments in the Ellen Greenberg case. Lamb McErlane partner Joseph R. Podraza, Jr. and attorney William H. Trask represent Ellen Greenberg’s parents.
Ellen Greenberg’s parents and Philadelphia officials reached an agreement to reopen the teacher’s death investigation more than 14 years after she was found stabbed to death in her Manayunk apartment.
In 2011 Ellen Greenberg was found dead with 20 stab wounds. Her death was initially ruled a homicide, then reclassified as a suicide. The pathologist who ruled Ellen Greenberg’s 2011 death by 20 stab wounds a homicide then switched it to suicide, now believes her death “should be designated as something other than suicide.”
“Finally, the issuing pathologist has changed his position 180 degrees. It’s consistent with what the Greenbergs have been contending all along,” said Lamb McErlane attorney Joseph R. Podraza, Jr. in a recent Philadelphia Inquirer article.
