Surveillance footage that resurfaced more than a decade ago shows a creepy figure repeatedly wandering around a teacher’s apartment building on the day she died.
The footage, obtained and cut by fox newsshowed a man wearing a pair of 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 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 his defenders have long argued that his stab wounds were not consistent with self-inflicted ones.
In the resurfaced slide, the man can be seen leaving the gym and walking towards the elevators and where he disappeared out of sight.
Resurfaced surveillance footage shows a mysterious man repeatedly wandering around Ellen Greenberg’s apartment building on the day she died.
The footage, obtained and clipped by Fox News, shows a man wearing a pair of gray shorts and what appears to be a blue Penn State t-shirt holding his phone in his hands as he walks down the hallway toward the apartment’s gym.
The disheveled man returns to the screen, after a while, and appears to be holding a paper towel or tissue while wiping something on his hands.
The visibly sweaty man returned to the screen, after a while, and appeared to be holding a paper towel or tissue while wiping something on his hands; although it is not clear what it is cleaning, there is a dark color visible against the white.
He stood there staring at his hand for a few seconds before pressing the elevator button to go up.
At some point, he walked down the stairs with nothing in his hands and once again walked away from the camera.
He then returned to the elevator on the right, before descending the stairs with a bulge visible in his right pocket.
The unidentified man stood inches from the elevator doors as he looked at his phone, so close that he had to back away from another person getting off in the lobby.
He quickly entered the elevator again, counting a total of four times in the span of about two hours, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:10 p.m., according to PennLive.
One librarian, who in her free time is an amateur cold case investigator, told PennLive that she believes the man in the video is “bouncing nervously” around the hallway before using “a tissue to wipe up the blood.” ; He also says he sent this information to investigators.
Greenberg’s father, Joshua, told Fox News Digital that the family is heartened to know there are people passionate about his daughter’s case.
But he warned that more concrete evidence could potentially be made public.

A librarian who is an amateur cold case investigator in her spare time told PennLive that she believes the man in the video is “bouncing nervously” around the hallway before using “a tissue to wipe up the blood.”
Joshua told the outlet: ‘What the police are hiding is that they only gave us a three-hour video window, not the whole day before and not the whole day after.
They have Melissa Ware, the building manager’s crime scene videotape. 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.
He had ten stab wounds to his neck and the back of his head, and ten to his stomach, abdomen and chest with a nine-inch knife still stuck in his heart.
Her fiancé Sam Goldberg told police he broke down the door, which was locked from the inside, found her and attempted to perform CPR on her while she was on the phone with 911.
Philadelphia Deputy Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne initially ruled her death a homicide, but changed it to suicide after a meeting with police and prosecutors.
Greenberg’s parents, Joshua and Sandee, have spent the 13 years since then and hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to turn this around.
They also filed a second lawsuit in October 2022 alleging that the cover-up amounted to an intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The pair claimed that police made major errors 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, the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit charged that the cover-up was orchestrated by Sam Gulino, Philadelphia’s then-chief medical examiner, and police officers, including Sergeant Tim Cooney and Detective John McNamee.
His father Joshua told DailyMail.com about his frustrations in August.
“We have had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and 13 years trying to get justice for our daughter,” she told DailyMail.com.
And it could have been fixed immediately without spending a lot of money and a lot of time.

‘How much does the city spend on this? How much time is the city wasting, when they could be doing more beneficial things for the citizens of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania?
‘What they are covering up, I don’t know. Are they covering up the inadequacy and errors of the police? Are they covering up some other personality or person?
‘I don’t know, but it’s a cover-up. There is a mistake somewhere here, a big mistake.
The parents’ most recent victory to get justice for their daughter came in late August, when they won the right to challenge the ruling that her death was a suicide before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
