Laura interviews Gavin Fish an award-winning journalist, documentarian and YouTuber. Gavin's investigation into the death of 27-year-old Philadelphia school teacher Ellen Greenberg uncovered alleged corruption at the highest level of state government and caused then Attorney General Josh Shapiro, in whose office the case had languished for four years, to refer the case to an outside agency.

On January 26 2011 Ellen was stabbed 20 times: twice in the head, 8 times in the neck, and 10 times in the chest. The ME ruled her death a suicide.

Gavin accessed the almost 2,000 pages of documents related to Ellen's case including depositions of the medical examiners (Marlon Osbourne, MD, Sam Gulino, MD, and Lyndsey Emery, MD), opinions from experts, and forensic photographs of Ellen's body.

In this illuminating interview you will learn many new insights and revelations about Ellen's case including key information contained within the case file as well as Laura’s own analysis and deep dive into Ellen's disturbing case.

This is a case that demands your attention. It’s not just about Ellen- it’s about all women and how one man's narrative can turn a case on it's head, irrespective of the evidence. This injustice must be corrected and must never happen again.

In this episode, you will learn about:
1. Ellen and her relationship with Samuel Goldberg
2. the circumstances surrounding Ellen's violent death
3. why it's important to test everything - the latch and what the latch test revealed
4. why this is not a locked door mystery
5. coercive control - the nuanced early warning signs of abuse - it doesn't show up as abuse
6. the important questions to ask if you believe someone is being abused
7. that separation and finality are high risk factors for femicide
8. the predictors of a staged suicide
