NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The former fiancé of Ellen Greenberg was reportedly spotted on the streets of New York City just days after it emerged that the investigation into the Philadelphia teacher’s death has been reopened by federal authorities.
Sam Goldberg, 43, was seen wearing a black jacket, gray sweatpants and beanie as he departed his $1.88 million Manhattan apartment, which he shares with his wife and two children, according to the Daily Mail.
Goldberg reportedly remained tight-lipped and refused to answer questions regarding the news that federal prosecutors have recently moved to reopen the investigation into the 2011 death of Greenberg, who was found with 23 stab wounds.

“It’s very good news in that it takes things out of the state of Philadelphia, which we cannot trust, and places it in the hands of the federal government,” Greenberg’s mother, Sandee Greenberg, told the Daily Mail.
“There’s been so much corruption they need fresh eyes on it,” she added. “It’s been a very long time coming. January 26 will be 15 years but we’re gaining momentum and Ellen knows.”
The case made headlines after Goldberg discovered 27-year-old Greenberg with over 20 stab wounds covering her body, including to the back of her head and her heart.

The circumstances surrounding Greenberg’s death have fueled debate for years, with investigators pointing to the fact that her body was discovered inside a locked apartment that Goldberg had forced open after she failed to respond.
Her death was initially ruled a homicide, but reclassified as a suicide in 2011 when assistant medical examiner Dr. Marlon Osbourne changed the manner of death after meeting with Philadelphia Police investigators.
Goldberg has never been named a suspect or been accused of any crime in connection to Greenberg’s death.

Following the release of a Hulu documentary shedding fresh light on the case in October 2025, Goldberg said that he had been “screwed over” by the film, including his 911 call when he found his fiancée’s body, in which he told authorities she “fell on a knife.”

“Yeah I have been. It’s awful and it sucks,” he told the Mail. “But I have nothing else to say.”
Last month, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania requested documents relating to the case from the Philadelphia Police Department and other agencies, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

However, federal authorities are reportedly not expected to look into the ruling that Greenberg’s death was a suicide, but instead will look into the possibility of criminal corruption among local officials at the time of the investigation.

In 2022, Greenberg’s family filed a lawsuit against the city over the handling of the investigation into her death.
In 2023, Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court acknowledged that errors were made in the investigation, but opted to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Greenberg’s family looking to change her official manner of death.

Last year, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office reaffirmed its decision to classify Greenberg’s death as a suicide, in a significant blow to her family, according to People.

In a ruling, the court reportedly conceded it had “no choice under the law” to have the manner of death changed, but admitted, “This court is acutely aware of the deeply flawed investigation of the victim’s death by the City of Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) detectives, the City of Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office (DAO), and the MEO [Medical Examiner’s Office].”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Fox News Digital was unable to immediately reach Goldberg for comment.

Shay Maloney’s overtime goal lifts Boston Fleet to road victory
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Shay Maloney scored 41 seconds into overtime and the Boston Fleet edged the Vancouver Goldeneyes 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Much of the game was a goalie duel, with neither side scoring until the third period.
Haley Winn was first to strike, getting the Fleet on the board early in the final frame with her second goal of the year.
Hannah Miller responded for the Goldeneyes with 3:26 remaining, blasting a one-timer past Boston goalie Aerin Frankel from just inside the blue line. Frankel stopped 25 of the 26 shots she faced, and the Fleet won its sixth straight game.
Kristen Campbell made 25 saves in the Vancouver net.
The win moved the Fleet back into sole possession of first place in the league standings, two points ahead of the Montreal Victoire.
Vancouver was without goalie Emerance Maschmeyer, who is listed as day to day with an upper-body injury. Kimberly Newell served as Campbell’s backup.

How Pittsburgh area drivers can save money on gas as prices rise during the war with Iran
Until the prices at the gas pump start to come down, we’re all looking for a way to trim our spending on fuel. The good news is that there are a number of ways to do that, and they just might be in your wallet or on your phone right now.
Whether it’s credit card reward programs or brand loyalty programs, finding a discount at the gas station is easier than you might think.
Most major gas stations either have loyalty programs or memberships that can save you money. There’s also the option of using AAA to find some savings.
On your phone, there are several apps and options that can save you money, like GasBuddy or Waze.
“The Auto Club app, which is our app, it actually will guide you toward the least expensive fuel in the area near you,” explained Jim Garrity of AAA East Central.
Both AAA and AARP have deals with Shell, where members can get five cents off a gallon.
Meanwhile, if you’re getting your shopping done at one of the warehouse, wholesale stores such as Sam’s Club, BJ’s, or Costco, part of your membership is a gas discount, which is usually at least 10 cents cheaper.
Even if you aren’t a member of one of these wholesale stores, many grocery stores have rewards programs that can get you a discount at gas stations.
Garrity said there are also things you can do behind the wheel that can save you money on gas, starting with slowing down.
“Essentially, for every five miles over 50 miles an hour you’re driving, we found that you’re decreasing your fuel economy exponentially,” he explained.
He also said that drivers should avoid jack rabbit starts – basically pushing down on the gas pedal instead of easing off the brake and putting slight pressure on the gas pedal. Drivers also should make sure that they’re keeping up with regular maintenance.
“They save up pennies that over time really add up,” he said.
Obviously, changing your driving habits is hard, especially because you don’t see immediate results, and that can lead to frustration.
Using those memberships, rewards programs, and discount resources, that’s real money and more immediate.

Study: Late-Night Gamers in Connecticut Are Dragging Down Productivity
According to a study published by Win.gg, all those late-night gaming sessions aren’t just wrecking your sleep—they’re wrecking Connecticut’s bottom line. Yeah, apparently your midnight raid or Fortnite grind comes with a side of lost productivity, and it adds up fast.
Win.gg surveyed 2,000 working gamers across the U.S., then crunched the numbers with data from the U.S. Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The results? Roughly 47% of employed gamers in Connecticut admit they’re dragging the next day after a late-night session. On average, that translates to about 2.6 hours of work that… well, never really happens. If you put a dollar figure on it, that’s about $104 lost per worker in a single day. Multiply that by the state, and we’re looking at a staggering $74 million in lost productivity. Yup, you read that right—$74 million just because people stayed up too late chasing loot or finishing that last level.

It’s not just your career that’s taking a hit, either. Gamers in the state report cutting their sleep by an average of 1.8 hours to fit in those extra hours of gaming. And we all know what happens when you skimp on sleep: coffee consumption goes up, focus goes down, and suddenly responding to emails feels like decoding hieroglyphics.
So, what does this mean for Connecticut? Employers are essentially paying for productivity that doesn’t happen, and the state as a whole is bleeding money. But let’s be real—nobody’s about to stop gaming. If anything, this is a reminder that maybe those late-night raids are best saved for the weekend, or at least capped so the Monday grind doesn’t feel like a marathon through molasses.
If you want to dive into all the numbers and methodology, Win.gg has the full breakdown here. But the takeaway is clear: your gaming habit might be costing more than you think—both in sleep and in dollars.
Exploring Beyond the Rusty Gates of Danbury’s Oldest Cemetery on Wooster Street
I live just down the block from the Wooster Street Cemetery and whenever I pass, I am always struck at how odd it is. You have this quiet, beautiful place that is dedicated to the people who were buried there, in the middle of a busy city and almost no one ever goes there. I decided to go take a deeper look around and see what was beyond the iron gates and stone walls.
