Resurfaced clip shows strange man bouncing around Ellen Greenberg’s building on the day she died

Surveillance footage that resurfaced more than a decade ago showed a strange figure repeatedly wandering around a teacher’s building on the day she died.

The footage, obtained and cut by Fox News, showed a man wearing gray shorts and what appears to be a blue Penn State t-shirt, holding his phone in his hands as he walked down the hallway toward from the apartment’s gym.

The same gym where Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, was at the time of his death in 2011.

Greenberg’s tragic death has since been ruled a suicide — but advocates have long argued that her stab wounds are inconsistent with being self-inflicted.

In the resurfaced briefs, the man can be seen walking out of the gym and towards the elevators and where he disappeared out of sight.

The visibly sweaty man then returned to the screen, after a moment, and appeared to be holding a paper napkin or tissue while dabbing something on his hands – although it’s unclear exactly what that was. he was wiping, there is a dark color visible on the white.

He stood there looking at his hand for a few seconds before pressing the elevator button to go up.

At one point he came back down with nothing in his hands and left the camera again.

He then returned to the right elevator, before coming back down with a visible bulge in his right pocket.

The unidentified man stood inches from the elevator doors while looking at his phone, so close that he had to step back to avoid another person coming down the lobby.

He quickly entered the elevator again – counting a total of four times in the span of about two hours – from 4 p.m. to 6:10 p.m. according to PennLive.

A librarian, who investigates cold cases in her free time, told PennLive she thought the man in the video was “nervously bouncing” around the lobby before using “a Kleenex to dab the blood” – she also says she sent this information to investigators.

Greenberg’s father, Joshua, told Fox News Digital that the family was encouraged to hear from people who were passionate about their daughter’s case.

But he warned that more concrete evidence could potentially be made public.

A librarian who investigates cold cases in her free time told PennLive she believes the man in the video was “nervously bouncing” around the lobby before using “a Kleenex to dab the blood.”

Joshua told the outlet: “What the police are holding back, they only gave us a three-hour video window, not the whole day before, not the whole day after.

— They have Melissa Ware, the crime scene videotape made by the building manager. Somehow they can’t produce that.

“The police are not interested in solving this crime.”

Greenberg was found dead on the kitchen floor of her apartment more than 14 years ago, on January 26, 2011.

She had ten stab wounds to her neck and back of her head, and ten to her stomach, abdomen and chest with a ten inch knife still embedded in her heart.

Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, told police he broke down the door, which was locked from the inside, found her and attempted CPR while he was on the phone with 911.

Philadelphia Deputy Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne initially ruled his death a homicide, but changed it to suicide after a meeting with police and prosecutors.

Greenberg’s parents, Joshua and Sandee, have spent 13 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to reverse the trend.

They also filed a second lawsuit in October 2022, claiming the cover-up amounted to intentional emotional infliction.

The couple claimed police made major mistakes in the first days after Greenberg’s death that “embarrassingly botched their investigation.”

Instead of continuing to investigate the homicide, they conspired to cover it up by having his death ruled a suicide, according to the lawsuit.

They charged in the lawsuit that the cover-up was orchestrated by Sam Gulino, then Philadelphia’s chief medical examiner, and police, including Sergeant Tim Cooney and Detective John McNamee.

His father Joshua spoke to DailyMail.com of his frustrations in August.

“We had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and 13 years trying to get justice for our daughter,” he told DailyMail.com.

“And it could have been fixed immediately without spending a lot of money and a lot of time.”

“How much is the city spending on this?” How much time has the city wasted, in terms of time, when it could be doing things more beneficial to the citizens of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania?

“What they are hiding, I don’t know. Are they covering up police inadequacies and errors? Are they hiding another personality or person?

“I don’t know, but it’s a cover-up. There’s a mistake here somewhere, a big fucking mistake.

The parents’ most recent victory for justice for their daughter came in late August when they won the right to challenge the ruling that her death was a suicide in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
