Hi. There are two things that I think ought to be done on this article.
First, we should avoid any false equivalence. “Well, some people said it was homicide, but other people said it was suicide.” Yeah, fine, but the people who said it was homicide were CORRECT, while the people who said it was suicide were either lying, misinformed, or naive. There’s no doubt that Ellen Greenberg was murdered.
It’s not even physically possible to tear up your own body THAT badly, because you would’ve already died before you could finish making ALL those stab wounds to yourself. This was no suicide.
Second, we need to mention the man who should’ve been the prime suspect all along: Ellen’s boyfriend, Sam. I am 99% confident that Sam murdered Ellen. (And I’m 100% confident that Ellen was murdered, not died by suicide.) But his name, Sam Goldberg, does not appear even once in this article (as of 3/28/24). That’s kind of a glaring omission.
Sam was the person who made the 911 call (on which he did a really lame job of feigning dismay at his own crime). He was the person who broke down the door and “discovered” Ellen’s corpse. Even if you don’t think he did it, he was certainly still an important enough character in the story that an article written about that story needs to mention him once or twice.
