Surveillance footage from more than a decade ago shows a creepy figure repeatedly wandering through a teacher’s apartment building on the day of her death.
The images, obtained and cut through Fox Newsshowed a man wearing gray shorts and what appears to be a blue Penn State T-shirt, holding his phone as he walked down the hallway to the apartment’s gym.
The same gym where Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé Sam Goldberg was at the time of her death, which occurred in 2011.
Greenberg’s tragic death has since been ruled a suicide, but advocates have long argued that her stab wounds were inconsistent with being self-inflicted.
The resurfaced briefs show the man leaving the gym and walking to the elevators, where he disappeared from view.

The footage, obtained and cropped by Fox News, shows a man wearing 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 to the apartment’s gym .
The confused man walks back onto the screen after a while and appears to be holding a paper towel or tissue while dabbing something on his hands
The visibly sweaty man walked back onto the screen after a while and appeared to be holding a paper towel or tissue as he dabbed something on his hands – although it’s unclear what he’s wiping, there’s a visible dark color against 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 went back downstairs with nothing in his hands and walked off camera again.
He then reentered the elevator on the right, before coming back down with a visible bulge in his right pocket.
The unidentified man stood inches away from the elevator doors as he looked at his phone, so close that he had to back up to get out of the way of another person getting off in the lobby.
He quickly got back into the elevator — a total of four times in a span of about two hours — from 4 p.m. to 6:10 p.m., according to PennLive.
A librarian, who is an amateur cold case investigator in her spare time, told PennLive that she believes the man in the video is “nervously bouncing around the lobby” before “using a Kleenex to dab the blood” – she also says they will provide this information to investigators.
Greenberg’s father Joshua told Fox News Digital that the family is encouraged to hear people are passionate about their daughter’s cause.
But he warned that more concrete evidence could be released to the public.

Joshua told the outlet, “What the police are withholding, they only gave us a three-hour video window, not the whole day before, not the whole day after.
“They have Melissa Ware, the building manager’s videotape from the crime scene. 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 the back of the head, and ten to her stomach, abdomen and chest, while a four-inch knife was still stuck in her heart.
Her fiancé Sam Goldberg told police he broke down the door, which was locked from the inside, found her and tried to revive her while on the phone with 911.
Assistant Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne initially ruled her death a homicide, but changed it to suicide after meeting with police and prosecutors.
Greenberg’s parents Joshua and Sandee have spent the last thirteen years and hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to undo this.
They also filed a second lawsuit in October 2022, claiming the cover-up amounted to intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The couple alleged that police made major blunders in the first days after Greenberg’s death, causing their investigation to “shamefully fail.”
Instead of continuing with the murder investigation, they conspired to cover it up by having her death ruled a suicide, the lawsuit alleged.
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.
Her father Joshua told DailyMail.com about his frustrations in August.
“We have had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for 13 years trying to get justice for our daughter,” he told DailyMail.com.
‘And it could have been dealt with immediately, without costing a lot of money and a lot of time.

‘How much is the city spending on this? How much is the city wasting in terms of time, where they could be doing more useful things for the citizens of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania?
‘I don’t know what they’re covering up. Are they covering up the inadequacies and mistakes of the police? Are they covering up another personality or person?
‘I don’t know, but it’s a cover. There’s a mistake here somewhere, a big damn mistake.”
The parents’ most recent victory in obtaining justice for their daughter came in late August, when they won the right to challenge the ruling of her death as a suicide before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
