About this episode
Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher, was found by her fiance with a knife protruding from her chest sitting upright against their kitchen cabinets. She had 20 stab wounds to her head, chest, and the back of her neck. Her fiance had allegedly been at the gym when her death occurred, and he returned to the apartment to find the door locked from the inside and the security bar in place. Almost immediately, investigators concluded that Ellen had committed suicide by stabbing herself, based solely on the fact that she took antidepressants and saw a therapist. How could and why would this woman have stabbed herself this many times in order to end her own life? Is it even medically possible, given her wounds, that she could have?
