Chester County DA Concludes Ellen Greenberg Investigation as Inactive Amid Legal Challenges by Family

The investigation into the death of Ellen Greenberg, whose body was discovered with 20 stab wounds in 2011, has been declared “inactive” by the Chester County District Attorney’s Office. According to

CBS 21

, the DA’s office stated that, based on the available evidence, they were unable to “prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed.” Greenberg’s death was originally ruled a homicide but was later reclassified as a suicide by the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office.

Following concerns about potential conflicts of interest involving former Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, Ellen Greenberg’s case was transferred to Chester County in 2022. Chester County detectives conducted additional interviews and consulted with an independent forensic expert. However, the evidence gathered did not meet the legal standard required for criminal charges, leading to the case being classified as inactive. The case remains open for future investigation, as there is no statute of limitations for criminal homicide in Pennsylvania,

The Inquirer

, their efforts have brought the case before the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court, where it will be determined whether they have the standing to challenge the suicide ruling on the death certificate.
