Sneha Anne Philip

Ep 308: A woman vanished right before the 9/11 attacks, but whether she was a victim of the devastating national attack or unrelated foul play has never been discovered

This is the Sneha Anne Philip story.

On the evening of September 10, 2001, a 31-year-old doctor finished a shopping trip at the Century 21 department store in Lower Manhattan and was never seen again. Sneha Anne Philip was educated at Johns Hopkins and Chicago Medical School, and had trained at Cabrini Medical Center and St. Vincent's Medical Center before moving with her husband, Ron Lieberman, to an apartment on Rector Street, just blocks from the World Trade Center.

Amy walks Megan through a case that has divided internet sleuths for more than two decades. What was happening in Sneha's residency program in the weeks before she vanished? Why did the disappearance of a woman living in the shadow of the World Trade Center on September 11 2001 prove almost impossible to investigate? And what do the shopping bags that were never recovered, the mention of a wedding at Windows on the World, and the reality of 9/11 unidentified remains tell us?

The hosts weigh every theory, revisit their own memories of that morning, and touch on the Charley Project, the documentary The Woman Who Vanished on 9/11, and the Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund. Plus a lighter listener question to close.
