Yeah, and she was only 45 years old.
Police are saying that it's non-suspicious, but the cause of death does remain unclear.
And I think just at moments like this, we think of, you know, all the alleged victims who have come forward in sexual abuse cases like this and how a lot of times, you know, no matter the outcome, it does end in some type of tragedy, whether justice was served or not.
Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you so much, Catherine.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Now, The Week in Crime.
One of America's most controversial death investigation could finally be reopened.
Federal prosecutors are now reviewing the case of Ellen Greenberg, the 27-year-old Philadelphia schoolteacher whose death in 2011 was ruled a suicide, despite her being found with more than 20 stab wounds, including to her heart and the back of her head.
Ellen was discovered by her fiance, Sam Goldberg, inside their apartment in Philadelphia.
Her death was initially classified as a homicide, then controversially changed to suicide, a decision that sparked years of allegations of a cover-up and a deeply flawed investigation.
Now, federal subpoenas have reportedly been issued.
However, that's not to redetermine how Ellen died, but to examine whether police, prosecutors, or medical officials mishandled the case so badly it could amount to criminal corruption.
For Ellen's family, this is the first real sign of accountability in more than a decade.
And this matters because if systemic failures are proven, it could reshape how questionable deaths are investigated nationwide.
We'll be bringing you a full deep dive on the Ellen Greenberg case next week on The Trial USA.
Last week, we walked you through the shocking story of the Virginia double murder case involving Brendan Banfield.
Here's what has come out in court this week as the trial continues in Fairfax County.
Prosecutors have wrapped up their case and begun the defense's turn at the stand, and the courtroom drama has only intensified.
