'Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?' follows her parents' quest to find the truth.


In January 2011, first-grade teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead with 20 stab wounds in the kitchen of her Philadelphia apartment. After breaking down a latched door, Sam Goldberg, Greenberg’s fiancé, discovered her body with a 10-inch-long kitchen knife sticking out of her chest and stab wounds to the back of the head and her back.


At the scene, police surprised all of Greenberg’s family and friends when they ruled her death a suicide. After police removed her body, a professional cleaning company wiped down Greenberg’s kitchen.


Then, just days later, during Greenberg’s funeral, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the case a homicide. Inexplicably, four months later, Greenberg’s cause of death was switched back to suicide. The city of Philadelphia closed the case without further investigation.


Greenberg’s bizarre and tragic death is the subject of the ABC News Studios docuseries “Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg?” The three-part series, directed by Nancy Schwartzman, reexamines the grisly case and follows Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandra Greenberg, who having never believed that their daughter killed herself, spent the last 14 years trying to discover what really happened.
