Potential New Evidence In Manayunk Woman’s Contended Death

MANAYUNK, PHILADELPHIA — The family of a Manayunk teacher whose stabbing death was ruled a suicide has provided a large file to state authorities in hopes of overturning her cause of death.

A representative of Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s Office said Ellen Greenburgs’s family provided a 10-gigabyte file to investigators for further review.

However, the AG’s office said the file is being reviewed and that it’s too early to say if it contains new details or new evidence in the 27-year-old first grade teacher’s death.

Greenberg was found dead in her Manayunk condominium on Jan. 26, 2011.

She was found with 20 stab wounds that investigators determined occurred after she was already dead.

Initially, her death was ruled a homicide, but authorities later said her death was a suicide.

According to the Washington Post, the Greenberg family has filed a lawsuit against the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office and medical examiner Marlon Osbourne seeking to overturn the ruling.

A Change.org petition with more than 120,000 signatures urges Shapiro to reopen Greenberg's case.

"Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania Attorney General, is the only person with the power to re-open Ellen’s case," the petition reads. "Josh Shapiro has continuously refused to do and even went as far as fabricating that the Attorney General’s Office conducted a 'thorough' investigation."

Additionally, a GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support the Greenberg's family as they search for more answers.

More than $12,700 has been raised by more than 50 people, as of Wednesday.
