Ellen Greenburg had her whole life in front of her. Engaged and preparing the wedding of her dreams. She worked as a first grade teacher, a source of stress due to her large class sizes. She was seeing a psychiatrist and seemed to find some medication that eased her anxiety.

But on January 26th 2011, a 911 call comes in. Her fiancée came home from a workout to her dead on the kitchen floor. He reports she stabbed herself on fell on a knife. The M.E. immediately labeled it as a suicide and went on with their day. But back at the morgue autopsy would show 20 stab wounds, over 10 bruises in various stages of healing. Indicative of abuse and murder.

Her death certificate was changed from suicide to homicide for two weeks. Then it was inexplicably changed back to suicide, where it remains today.

One womans call for help, leads to the identification of a serial killer on Long Island. Shannan Gilbert called saying a man was going to kill her. But police didn't go out and investigate immediately, simply following up later then claiming it wasn't a missing person when they couldn't find her. Her mother knew better, she pushed until people finally went out to look for Shannan. Finding instead four others. The push for Shannan led to a second search and six more bodies, the third to Shannan herself. In the quest for Shannan a serial killer was unearthed and we are still waiting for justice. Trial is expected for the potential serial killer, Rex Heuerman after labor day 2026. Maybe then answers will be had.

Wakefield Prison is located in the UK and home to some of the worst of the worst offenders. Names like Robert Maudsley who required his own cell to be built within the prison after killing multiple inmates. But he isn't alone. Originally Wakefield started out in the late 1500's a jail and holding site. After expansion and multiple escapes, an entirely new prison was built, keeping the same name. Now Wakefield is a maximum security location. Those within are over 61% child/women rapes. For that there is always a potential of violence from inmates with other sentences. In 2025 alone, two inmates with child cases were killed by others.
