The death of Ellen Greenberg has haunted Philadelphia for over a decade—but now, a new 2025 “independent” review by the same Medical Examiner’s Office that once ruled her death a homicide, then reversed itself, has reignited public outrage.
In this episode, we break down the new 32-page report by Dr. Lindsay Simon—billed as a “fresh look”—and expose just how deeply embedded bias and institutional self-preservation appear to be in its findings. From selective evidence interpretation to implausible forensic leaps, the review paints a troubling picture of a system investigating itself and calling it justice.
We dissect the major red flags:
• The knife in her chest, 20+ stab wounds—some in the back—and a locked apartment
• Claims of “no signs of struggle,” despite over 30 bruises on Ellen’s body
• The “spinal cord artifact” explanation that dismisses incapacitation
• Psychological characterizations based on anxiety—not suicidal ideation
• How this report dismisses experts, overlooks key inconsistencies, and leans on confirmation bias
Is this truly an objective review? Or is it a bureaucratic performance designed to close the book and shield the city from liability? We’re unpacking every flaw, contradiction, and narrative sleight-of-hand in a case that refuses to stay silent.
