[FoxNews] Chester County DA makes surprising announcement on 'suicide' case of 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg
A Pennsylvania district attorney made a major announcement in its outside investigation into the case of 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg, a Philadelphia teacher whose 2011 death was ruled a suicide after her fiancé found her in the kitchen during a blizzard with 20 stab wounds, half of them from behind.
Her parents, Dr. Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have been entangled in court battles with the government since their daughter's untimely death. They have accused the medical examiner's office of covering up their daughter's homicide, demanded police turn over more evidence and tried suing to have the designation of "suicide" on her death certificate replaced with "homicide" or "undetermined."
The Chester County District Attorney's Office announced Friday morning that it has conducted its investigation, and prosecutors are "currently unable to move forward with criminal charges." They are moving Greenberg's case to an "inactive" status in Chester County but are leaving it open to re-examine if they get new information.
After re-interviewing key people in the original Philadelphia investigation, consulting an independent forensic expert and taking other investigatory steps, "Chester County's investigative team determined that, based on the current state of the evidence, we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed," the office said.
The DA's office noted that there is no statute of limitations for criminal homicide, said that the case would remain open and, therefore, investigators would "not be answering any questions about this matter."
The DA's office met with Greenberg's parents and their attorney on Thursday to share the news before announcing it to the public.
"They didn't go very deeply into the case…they really didn't come up with anything new," Dr. Josh Greenberg told Fox News Digital.
"Our conviction about Ellen having been murdered does not change due to the announcement by the Chester County District Attorney’s Office," Greenberg family attorney Joseph Podraza said in a press release he provided to Fox News Digital.
"Admittedly, the investigation conducted by the Chester County District Attorney’s Office was extremely limited and constrained. The Office told us that they did not investigate the core issues which we have raised which establish Ellen was murdered, and that evidence remains unchallenged," Podraza continued.
"The independent forensic expert who they said they consulted during the course of the investigation was similarly bounded by his own limited background, an undergraduate degree in entomology (the study of insects) and a masters in criminal justice, but no medical school training, nor any training in the specialty of forensic pathology, both of which are necessary in order to competently assess the evidence uncovered in this case to date."
The Chester County District Attorney's Office initiated an independent investigation roughly two years ago, after both Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and former Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, now the governor, both recused themselves from the case.
Krasner had previously worked with Greenberg's parents as part of his private practice, and Shapiro previously denied having "an actual conflict" but acknowledged the "appearance" of one.
When Shapiro was the attorney general, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital that not only his office undertook "an exhaustive review and conducted new forensic analysis" – but also that new expert testimony and information had been withheld from investigators.
"These unfortunate limitations and constraints notwithstanding, we do appreciate the District Attorney’s professional courtesy of speaking with the family and candidly acknowledging all these limitations and constraints," Podraza added. "We also point out that another highly experienced homicide prosecutor while employed at the Philadelphia DA’s Office conducted his own independent review of this case, thoroughly investigated all the issues surrounding Ellen’s death, and reached the opposite conclusion, that Ellen was murdered.
We now look forward to an upcoming trial where a full and forthright examination of the core issues surrounding Ellen’s murder may be publicly conducted before an independent judge and jury of our peers."
In September, Pennsylvania's Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments from the Greenbergs and their attorney.
"The Supreme Court is going to be deciding whether or not Sandee and I have standing. And that's a real big thing … I mean, no one has ever gotten this far. … I know it's taken almost 14 years, but it's still a very important case," Dr. Greenberg previously told Fox News Digital.
Greenberg was found on Jan. 6, 2011 with 20 stab wounds, including 10 from behind, at least one of which could have been inflicted after she was already dead, according to court documents. Her body was also covered in bruises in different stages of healing, which her parents say are consistent with abuse.
At the time of her death, Greenberg and her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, had recently sent out "save-the-dates" for their upcoming wedding. Her body was found in the kitchen near a half-made fruit salad on the countertop.
After her death, a forensic pathologist with the city medical examiner's office, Dr. Marlon Osbourne, ruled it a homicide, according to court documents. Then he reversed course after meeting with police behind closed doors and deemed it officially a suicide.
Greenberg's parents and experienced outside investigators have raised concerns that police botched their response to her death and released the scene too early. They have also questioned why Goldberg's uncle, James Schwartzman, was allowed to remove a number of items from the scene.
"Things were removed from the crime scene without our permission. The chain of custody was broken from the very beginning when Jim Schwartzman removed computers, electronics, my daughter's handbag," Dr. Josh Greenberg previously told Fox News Digital.
A representative for Schwartzman, a distinguished judge in Pennsylvania, responded to these claims on his behalf, saying police gave him permission to go in and take Greenberg's belongings. He denied removing her handbag, but he admitted to removing her computers and cellphones.
"The door was damaged and unsecure, and he took out items that he thought might be stolen," the representative for Schwartzman previously explained to Fox News Digital on his behalf. He added that Schwartzman did not need the permission of Greenberg's parents to take anything from the apartment once police released the scene.
Neither Goldberg nor Schwartzman have been charged with any wrongdoing in relation to Greenberg's death.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] This is the moment terrified passengers were forced to leap out of a plane's emergency exit after flames began to shoot out from the Boeing jet's engine moments before takeoff.
The Boeing 737-500 aircraft, bound for the town of Wamena, caught fire at Sentani Airport in Jayapura, Papua Province, Indonesia on Tuesday, forcing its 121 passengers to evacuate.
Horrifying footage shows how smoke billowed out from the aircraft's engine, while another clip captured the moment petrified passengers had to stand on the wing of the plane as they awaited their turn to get off.

OK! A few passengers are short of even Stupid rating.
Open the Emergency Exit over the wing, climb out on the very engine wing that was shooting flames and stand there, 12ft off the ground and nowhere to go.

[Breitbart] In a report reviewed exclusively by Breitbart Texas, human intelligence developed by frontline Border Patrol intelligence officers reveals the possibility of a formal covert operation being conducted by the Maduro regime. The operation is designed to infiltrate the United States using released inmates and pairing them with Venezuelan intelligence operatives to “neutralize” human targets within the United States.
The report’s narrative, generated by the Rio Grande Valley Sector Intelligence Unit (SIU), indicates that released inmates from Venezuelan prisons have been directed to travel to the United States alongside Venezuelan intelligence officers to track down former Venezuelan military members, politicians, and law enforcement officials within the United States and “neutralize” them. According to the report, the motive is to prevent the release of classified information that Venezuelan officials may possess.
Breitbart Texas received the report obtained from a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) who was not authorized to speak to the media. The report, known as a Field Intelligence Report (FIR), is generally developed and disseminated by the agency’s Intelligence Units. The reports are generated when information is received from various sources that criminal activity is occurring, likely to occur, or needs further investigation.
Among the sources of information relied upon to complete the reports are interviews with criminal suspects or other persons of interest. The report released to Breitbart Texas involves information provided by a Venezuelan source with details regarding the Maduro operation.
The FIR is preliminary and has not been thoroughly investigated, according to the source.
“This is not the first report we have developed related to Venezuelan prison releases from sources we have interviewed,” the source explained. “This is alarming, considering we have a new administration entering office in January.”
The source says the Venezuelan government has every reason to believe the nearly 600,000 Venezuelans that have crossed into the United States under the Biden-Harris administration may soon be back in front of CBP and ICE officials if a mass deportation program comes to fruition.
“The report’s timing raises more questions as the Maduro regime may fear some Venezuelans may trade information to avoid removal,” the source emphasized. “It certainly merits more investigation,”
The issue of the Maduro government releasing inmates and sending them to the United States has been a topic touched upon by President-Elect Donald Trump for which he has been criticized.
The information relied upon by President Trump was based on a September 2022 exclusive report by Breitbart Texas. At the time, Breitbart Texas received an intelligence report produced by the Border Patrol that warned agents to be on the lookout for released Venezuelan prison inmates entering the United States. The report indicated Venezuela’s Maduro government had purposely freed the inmates, including some convicted of murder, rape, and extortion. That report made no mention of government intelligence or counter-intelligence agents being deployed.
The likelihood that the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN), Venezuela’s equivalent to the CIA, may be involved in a plot to silence or protect matters of interest to the Maduro regime is bolstered by the dictator’s previous use of the organization to quell dissent within the country.
According to a United Nations report in 2022, SEBIN operatives were used to commit crimes against its citizens to repress dissent.
“Our investigations and analysis show that the Venezuelan State relies on the intelligence services and its agents to repress dissent in the country. In doing so, grave crimes and human rights violations are being committed, including acts of torture and sexual violence. These practices must stop immediately, and the individuals responsible must be investigated and prosecuted in accordance with the law,” said Marta Valiñas, Chair of the United Nations Fact Finding Commission on the issue.
[[ZeroHedge] Cash-strapped consumers had no joy and happiness in the third quarter as they dialed back spending on chocolate and salty snacks produced by Hershey Co. The company slashed its net sales growth and earnings outlook after consumers balked at rising retail snack prices due to soaring cocoa costs.
Hershey reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.34, missing the $2.56 forecast held by analysts tracked by Bloomberg. Salty snack sales in the quarter plummeted in the US, while candy sales were marginally higher.
No mention of the March 2023 Hershey’s “Her for She” campaign that included transgender activist Fae Johnstone — the redheaded person who is equally unattractive whether dressing up as male or female, poor thing — as one of the five women featured in the ads for International Women’s Day. Because really, men are so much better at being women than women are. That was when I cut Hershey’s chocolate out of my life, and I’ve mostly stuck with it since.
A US B-52 strategic nuclear bomber has landed in the UK, taking the total to three such arrivals since the start of the month, local aviation enthusiasts have reported. The US Air Force earlier announced an upcoming deployment of warplanes to Europe.
Why? Who should be warned by their sudden presence?
Having entered service back in 1952, the B-52 remains one of the pillars of Washington’s nuclear triad.
On Thursday, the RAF Fairford Movements website, which specializes in tracking incoming and outgoing aircraft at the RAF Fairford airbase in Gloucestershire, claimed that a B52H bomber codenamed ROPE32 had arrived at around 2:30pm local time.
According to plane spotters, two more warplanes of the same type, FLUX11 and FLUX12, had touched down at Fairford on Tuesday.
Local media has claimed that a fourth American strategic bomber is expected to arrive in Britain in the coming days. One of the aircraft believed to already be at the airbase reportedly took part in drills with the Finnish Air Force before landing in the UK.

US B-52s previously visited the UK back in June.
Last Friday, the United States Air Forces in Europe issued a statement saying that the “next Bomber Task Force-Europe deployment is scheduled to begin in the coming days with US strategic bombers transiting from the continental US to the US European Command area of responsibility.”
The “long-planned” exercise would see American aircraft “train and operate alongside NATO Allies and partners for several weeks demonstrating the US commitment to global security and stability,” the statement added.
Last October, the US, Japan, and South Korea held their first-ever joint aerial drills, which included at least one American B-52 nuclear-capable strategic bomber. The aerial maneuvers drew condemnation from North Korea, which views such exercises as preparation for potential aggression.
[US NEWS & WORLD REPORT] Audi Plans Thousands of Job Cuts Outside Production, Report Says
BERLIN (Reuters) - German automaker Audi is looking to shrink its workforce in the medium term by cutting jobs outside of production, with thousands of positions at risk, the Manager Magazin reported on Thursday.
The job cuts are to focus on so-called indirect jobs at the company, such as in the area of development, where over 2,000 jobs could go, the report said.
It said the company is targeting a reduction of about 15%. In Germany alone, this would impact 4,500 indirect jobs
Audi, a subsidiary of struggling auto giant Volkswagen, confirmed to Reuters that the board of management was currently in negotiations with workers' representatives but did not comment on the number of jobs that could be affected.
Audi saw a sharp fall in profit in the third quarter, partly due to high costs associated with the likely closure of its plant in Brussels.
[CNN] Germany’s governing coalition has collapsed after disagreements over the country’s weak economy led Chancellor Olaf Scholz to sack his finance minister.
Christian Lindner’s dismissal prompted him to withdraw his Free Democrats Party (FDP) from a coalition with Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), leaving Scholz in a minority government with the Green Party.
Scholz said he would now call a confidence vote for January 15, which, if he lost, could allow elections to be held by the end of March next year – six months earlier than the elections planned for September 2025.
Germany now faces turmoil at a time of broader uncertainty. The political crisis was triggered just hours after it was announced former US President Donald Trump will get a second term – an election outcome that could bring further woes to Germany’s economy as well as threaten Europe’s united front on key issues. Here’s what we know.
[PM] Senior executives at the FBI have reportedly been left "stunned" and "shell-shocked" over Trump’s landslide victory in the 2024 election, which resulted in him winning all swing states, the electoral votes necessary, and the popular vote over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
One FBI source told the Washington Times in regards to the agency’s fitness requirements, "You know the fit test? How they let the standards slack on the fit test? Everyone’s going to have a real problem when they’re running for the door."
The sources added that FBI Director Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paul Abbate are unlikely to remain at the agency before Trump is sworn in. Employees at the FBI also recalled when Trump in his first term fired former Director James Comey five months into his presidency.
[Gateway] After former President Trump’s massive election victory, the top executives of Big Pharma were reportedly scrambling to protect their influence over U.S. healthcare.

[Regnum] The NASA space probe Juno transmitted impressively clear photographs of Jupiter to Earth. This was reported on November 6 by Newsweek.
The Juno probe has completed its 66th flyby of Jupiter and its moons, taking photos of the gas giant with its dual-pixel JunoCam camera. The stunningly clear photos reveal the chaotic, colorful spots on Jupiter's surface. To date, these images are the highest quality ever taken of the largest planet in the solar system.
In addition, the probe approached Jupiter's fifth largest satellite, the planet Almatea, which is distinguished by its elongated, irregular shape.
NASA's Juno spacecraft was launched in 2011 and entered Jupiter's orbit five years later in 2016. In addition to a camera, the spacecraft is equipped with a magnetometer, microwave radiometer, and other instruments to help conduct scientific work. During its time in Jupiter's orbit, the spacecraft transmitted thousands of invaluable images of the planet's atmosphere and its moons to Earth.
It is noted that the Juno mission does not have a team of scientists who would process the images. This important work is done by enthusiasts, who also post the photos on a special website.
Juno's mission will end on September 15, 2025. During its 76th close approach to Jupiter, NASA says the probe will be pulled in by its gravity and "plunge forever into the gas giant's chaotic atmosphere." This will avoid a collision with Jupiter's moons, which scientists believe could potentially support life.
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that the Soyuz-2.1b rocket with the Ionosfera-M No. 1 and No. 2 spacecraft and 53 Russian and foreign satellites was launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on November 5. The spacecraft and satellites were successfully launched into near-earth orbit.
In June, American billionaire and head of SpaceX Elon Musk suggested that humanity would find many interesting things on Jupiter's moons. Musk's attention was drawn to a publication on the popular science public Black Hole dedicated to the planet Callisto, the second largest moon of Jupiter, and the businessman commented on the article.
