Here's an old article, 20 years old, relating all the buildings that were destroyed or extensively damaged during the 9/11 attack. It's interesting to note, that some people died in other buildings that were on the periphery of the WTC.
Focus of recovery at site of collapsed World Trade Center moves outward five months after terrorist attack to ring of battered skyscrapers and other buildings that once held 10 million square feet of floor space, or slightly more than twin towers; September 11 avalanche of flaming steel...

As stated in the following article, the population of residents living in lower Manhattan numbered about 33,000, now it's about double. Most of them were rentals. As an area that is associated with daytime activity where workers are coming from outside the area, 33,000 people is a lot of people to have to track down and account for.
The residential population in downtown NYC has more than doubled since the 9/11 attacks. Real estate developers say the pandemic won't derail that progress.

I listened to the Podcast Missing on 9/11 episode 6. It was interesting to listen to the doctor who worked with Sneha. She sounded very genuine in her appraisal of Sneha's work ethic, her passion, or lack thereof, for her profession, and her personality specifically her inappropriate behavior from a sexual point of view. Every characteristic she mentioned is completely at odds with the persona that her family has put into the narrative. Out of the two, I believe the doctor. I know her family were Christian. I wondered if Sneha was mixed race but I was reading about Indian Christians - most of them live in Kerala and it is a tradition that many of their names are Anglicized names from the Bible. Another thing I read was that being Christian doesn't always exempt you from the caste system in India. Many Indian Christians believe they are descendants of Brahmins which were the apex of the caste system. I bring that up because I wondered if there was some aspect where Sneha's behavior - drinking, being intoxicated while at work, going to lesbian bars, staying out all night, sabotaging her chosen profession (probably because it was chosen for her) that could be seen as bringing dishonour onto her family.
The senior priest said he would stop attending traditional family gatherings held by members of the church to celebrate their upper caste identity and lineage.

All of the speculation regarding the demise of Sneha either as a victim of 9/11 (I am less likely to believe she went to help the injured) or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or on Sept 10 either through foul play, misadventure, or running away? All have arguments pro and con.
I go on this website called lipstickalley.com which is basically a black women's site where they discuss everything from how black victims get less airtime than white victims to whether big butts are beautiful. It can be witty, hilariously funny, sobering and profane. There is a thread about Sneha. When reading it it was obvious that many people had never heard of her but became transfixed by her story. Repeatedly it was mentioned what she bought on the 10th - linens, lingerie, pantyhose, a dress and shoes, $550 worth.
She'd already lost one internship and was well on her way to losing another based on her work history and alcohol related issues. I've never heard anything about Sneha's life before she became an intern and married Ron. I've never heard any anecdotes from her life as a student, either in high school or university. Was she a party animal, a social butterfly or a studious nerd? Did all the issues that Sneha seemed to accumulate occur after she started her internship or married Ron? Were they related to her dissatisfaction with her career trajectory or being unhappy in the relationship? Or could it be something else?
There are several indicators of bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorders which can be triggered by past sexual abuse. One is hypersexuality which can manifest itself in certain ways - inappropriate sexual behaviors. Another is out of control spending. It would be ironic that an individual who worked in a medical environment, who married a doctor, whose father was a doctor, exhibited many indicators of a mental illness and they were all ignored or overlooked because her behavior was the issue not the cause.
Here's another link to a story that was written by an award winning journalist who was a classmate of Sneha at Johns Hopkins University.
