Like the title says, this week it’s all about Philly storiez! (And we didn’t even plan that!!)
**CONTENT WARNING**
Sarah starts us out with a story that is gross, disturbing, and absurd – it’s the true crime tale of Philly’s most notorious pervert: Ed Savitz aka Uncle Eddie aka Fast Eddie. Ed Savitz solicited young boys for goods (? we’ll go with that) and sexual favors. He was known around the neighborhood for paying large amounts for these things, and he operated (?sure, we’ll go with that phrase too) for almost 20 years before finally being caught.
Stephanie wraps up the episode with another true crime case located right in Philadelphia, in the Manayunk neighborhood. However this case is still active and potentially re-opening. Ellen Greenberg was found unresponsive one evening in the apartment she shared with her fiance. And when we say ‘found unresponsive’ – she was found with a knife in her chest…but minimal, to almost no blood splatter or mess. The police ruled it a suicide, but the family disagrees (and in our opinion the facts don’t line up). Ellen’s family has sued the Philadelphia Police Department to re-open Ellen’s case. That suit will go to court this year.
If you want to find out more information about Ellen’s case, or how to help the family just search #justiceforellen
We’ll be continuing to follow this case and will post updates as we find out about them.
