Ep 277: Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg with Nancy Schwartzman

In this episode, Laura sits down with Nancy Schwartzman, Emmy Award winner and executive producer as well as showrunner of the new docuseries Death in Apartment 603, premiering on Hulu on September 29, 2025. The conversation dives deep into the making of this significant docuseries, exploring not just the process but also the reasons why this case holds personal importance for Nancy. The interview reveals new insights and revelations, particularly about Ellen’s relationship with her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, and indicators that Ellen may have been planning to leave the relationship.

 

Laura and Nancy discuss information found in the police case file, as well as Laura’s own crime scene analysis after reviewing the crime scene photos and video of Apartment 603. The findings present a stark contrast to the account provided by Samuel Goldberg during his 911 call. Laura also highlights the ten predictors of staged suicide and compares it with Ellen’s case. It’s compelling.
