S19EP1: Inside The Gilgo Beach Murders | Mystery and Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil
A missing woman, a chilling 911 call, and four bodies buried in burlap. Dr. Phil investigates how the Gilgo Beach murders began and why no one listened until it was too late. Gilgo Beach was supposed to be a summer escape but it hid a nightmare. When 23-year-old Shannan Gilbert vanished after a frantic 911 call, her disappearance led police to a shocking discovery: four women buried in burlap along a desolate stretch of Long Island highway. In this chilling first installment, Dr. Phil unpacks the first wave of victims, dubbed the “Gilgo Four” and the mounting failures that let a killer stay in the shadows for years. From ignored red flags to disturbing patterns in the victims’ profiles, he analyzes how society's bias against sex workers enabled this predator to hunt unnoticed. Why were these women targeted? Why was Shannan’s cry for help dismissed? And what does the killer’s choice of victims say about how we value some lives over others? Dr. Phil doesn’t just follow the evidence he explores the psychology behind the crime. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding one of the most haunting serial murder cases in American history and what it reveals about justice, vulnerability, and the darkness that hides in plain sight.

S16EP3: Suicide or Murder? The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg
In the final episode of this haunting series, Dr. Phil breaks down the pieces of a case that just won't rest: the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg. Though it was ruled a suicide, Ellen’s parents have spent over a decade challenging that conclusion—and they're not alone. With new forensic evidence, expert testimony, and questions surrounding the crime scene, this episode pushes past the headlines and into the shadows of what might’ve really happened. Dr. Phil takes us inside expert Cyril Wecht’s findings—multiple stab wounds to hard-to-reach areas, injuries that don’t add up, and forensic red flags that demand a second look. He questions the mental health narrative used to explain Ellen’s death and exposes how institutional barriers stalled the pursuit of truth. With the original cause of death now reversed and the case officially reopened, Dr. Phil asks the one question no one in power seems to have answered: if this wasn’t suicide… who’s responsible?

S16EP2: Suicide or Murder? The Mysterious Death of Ellen Greenberg
Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé found her dead in their apartment with multiple stab wounds, yet investigators called it suicide. Dr. Phil uncovers troubling inconsistencies—the broken lock, missing evidence, and a sudden reversal in the medical examiner’s ruling—that challenge the official narrative. He examines the actions of Sam Goldberg’s relatives, who cleaned the crime scene and removed personal items just hours after Ellen’s death. He also scrutinizes Ellen’s mental health records, questioning whether her anxiety could explain her final moments—or if there’s something much darker at play. Ellen’s parents refuse to accept the suicide ruling. They’ve hired private investigators, pushed for independent reviews, and demanded answers that authorities have yet to provide. Dr. Phil pieces together expert analysis, witness accounts, and forensic details to reveal the truth: Was Ellen’s death a tragic suicide, or is someone hiding a crime in plain sight? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrimePodcast #DrPhil #MysteryAndMurder #CrimeSceneInvestigation #ForensicAnalysis #UnsolvedMystery #JusticeForEllen #CrimePodcast #ColdCase New episodes drop every Thursday.
