Harrowing, Disconcerting…
A disconcerting, mysterious and controversial account of the case of Ellen Greenberg eloquently presented as a miscarriage of justice by Nancy Grace. The author does a sterling job of providing the background to the case itself, the important factual detail, and the current position as well as painting a picture of Ellen herself. It is painfully clear that the evidentiary discrepancies surrounding the case and the intense controversy rage on, despite many, many years of difficult and desperate struggles on the part of Ellen’s parents and their many supporters. A harrowing account.

Sometimes the cover-up is more lethal than the crime!

On January 26, 2011 a beautiful young woman, wedding date set, was stabbed to death inside her apartment home. A ten inch knife was found still plunged deep into her chest.

Ellen Greenberg had been stabbed twenty times, including knife wounds to her head, the back of her head, the back of her neck, and to her chest. At least one of Ellen’s stab wounds was shown to have been inflicted postmortem, meaning after death.

There was also bruising on Ellen’s wrists, along with all the other bruises on Ellen’s body that were deemed to have occurred at various times and not on the day she died.

Her death… was ruled a suicide.

What Happened to Ellen? by Nancy Grace takes you inside what is known about the case as it currently stands and Ellen’s parents fight for justice.

Now as a True Crime Buff this book 100% needed to be written, this story needed to be told. It was a good way to bring this case back into the limelight and lay out the facts known. Nancy Grace has done a wonderful job helping Ellen’s parents be Ellen’s voice.

As a book reader, this book is a little over the place, it lacks flow and is repetitive at times. I also must highlight 40% of the book is Ellen’s story and the case surrounding her death. The other 60% of the book is court documents. Now I do read quite a few court documents on cases I am interested in, so I was not disappointed with this.

And I also must note I did not follow this case in the media, so I can not say if this book gives the reader any new information or not.

IMO Ellen Greenberg’s case is not a question of was it suicide or murder. To me it is a clear case of the husband-to-be did it! The fiancé of a wealthy, powerful, influential family that had a family member within the court system. Ellen’s death just days after asking her parents if she could move back home…
