Episode Summary:On a cold January evening in 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg, a beloved teacherand bride-to-be, was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment with 20 stabwounds—10 of which were to the back of her head and neck. Despite the medicalexaminer determining the manner of death as a homicide, it was never reallyinvestigated as such. The medical examiner then suddenly changed the manner ofdeath to suicide-and then changed it yet again, but the story doesn’t end there.
