Rejection of Suicide Ruling

  • 💔 Ellen Greenberg's parents are vehemently rejecting the medical examiner's recent ruling of suicide in their daughter's 2011 death.
  • 🗣️ They assert that anxiety does not lead to suicide, citing a psychiatrist who stated Ellen was not suicidal.
  • 🩸 Bruises on Ellen's wrists are interpreted as defensive wounds from being restrained, not indicative of self-harm.

Doubts About the Crime Scene

  • 🔪 The absence of other DNA on the knife found at the scene is questioned, especially since it was from inside the home.
  • 🔒 The apartment was reportedly locked from the inside with a swing lock, which the parents claim could be manipulated from the outside.
  • 🚪 The lack of wood shards at the base of the door suggests a staged break-in, contradicting the initial findings.

Forensic Pathologists' Concerns

  • 🧐 The parents highlight that forensic pathologists have reviewed the autopsy reports and photos, deeming the manner of death biomechanically implausible for suicide.
  • 🧠 A renowned forensic pathologist, Dr. Cyril Wecht, previously stated that women do not use knives to kill themselves in this manner.
  • ⚠️ The ruling is described as "facitious and bogus," potentially opening the case to further scrutiny rather than closing it.

Disputed Autopsy Findings

  • 🤕 Superficial wounds are noted, but three wounds are considered deep: a gash on the head, a knife in the chest, and a knife in the back of the head.
  • 💀 The wound in the back of the head was initially deemed postmortem by a medical examiner, though later reclassified under pressure.
  • 🧐 The parents criticize the reviewing medical examiner for allegedly trying to exonerate the fiancé and not fulfilling her assignment of reviewing only the autopsy file.

Call for Justice

  • ⚖️ The parents have consistently asked for an unbiased investigation into their daughter's death.
  • ❓ They believe the current ruling does not settle anything and that their daughter was murdered.
  • 🎤 The parents express their gratitude for the platform to share their story and seek justice for Ellen.
