I'm actually not arguing semantics on whether she had issues or not, because she clearly did. IMO, she had issues and did some stupid things but those had no bearing on her skills as a doctor. Nor would they have had any bearing on her willingness to help out victims at Ground Zero.
Well, we know the family that declined to release the name of the deceased definitely wasn't Sneha's family.
How do we know?
Every time they have spoken publicly at any time, including by lying repeatedly in the media, they wanted her to be included as a 9/11 victim. Why would they shield their final proof from the public? It would go against how they have behaved since day one. My opinion.
We pretty much believe the same thing. I’m just weighing the totality of these factors more heavily than you: she felt pressure from family to be a doctor and perhaps was barely resigned to that career, she seemed self-absorbed and not dedicated to keeping or excelling in her profession and not one person ever reported seeing an attractive young doctor trying to help as the Towers were falling. But sure, she could have run in there to help. Ron not being sure the video was her, in spite of it making the story fit better, and wondering where those bags went make me less certain the video was actually her.
The missing bags don't concern me at all. I visited NYC shortly after the attacks and the whole city was in disarray. The bags could have been left in the Rector Place lobby, and later stolen or discarded, before anybody realized their significance. Or they were left at wherever she spent the night, so if it was the Marriott they were destroyed.
They don't talk about her anymore. I think that ship has sailed for them. I wouldn't be surprised if she was ID'ed and her name not released. She has already been declared and 9/11 victim and rehashing her story has to be old for the family. Plus her mother is very elderly, she may not be all there anymore so it is solely up to Ron. And he has his own family now out in California. JMO
And yet she immediately got another residency.
She was on probation at the new residency, IIRC she had substance abuse classes she had to take. I'm assuming this was a requirement based on the troubles at Cabrini. To my knowledge confirmation of why she had to take these classes has never been published, so IMO, but I am guessing she could have been in a diversion program.I haven't kept up with the media on her case so I don't know how quickly she got another residency or how that came about, but my understanding was that she was in trouble there too. Right before her disappearance, there was concern she'd lose that position too. Is that accurate?
Here is an article that describes what can happen in residency. The figure they give for 2015 - 2016 is that 0.86% of residents left their positions, and that number includes the people who left voluntarily. Less than 1%. That's how rare it is for a resident to leave, whether voluntarily or termination. The number for termination is minuscule.
I believe it's fair to assume that if someone is terminated from one residency and then in trouble at a second residency, there are deficiencies in their performance as a physician.
Wouldn’t they be visible as she walked in the door of her apartment building? I know, they could be anywhere because she purchased the items, what, 15 hours before that video.
The Lobby video has never been released to the public so it's hard to say if the bags would have been seen. There was no video of her coming into the lobby. Whoever it was in the video had entered through another entrance and IIRC, it was not covered by a camera. The woman, dressed like Sneha, exited the building in a hurry after the aircraft struck the WTC.
Correct, only Ron, the PI and Detective Stark have seen it, among possible staff at their apartment building, but, yes, nothing was released publicly.
I’ve read so much over the years and even mainstream media sources don’t seem to agree if she would have been identified in various places around the towers or not. Most of the things I’ve read appear to confirm she could have perished in the Marriott and be unidentified, while places on the sidewalks along the outer edges of the falling towers made identification much more likely.
Thanks for providing the update. I was away for a week or so.She was essentially fired from her position at Cabrini (contract was not renewed for her residency which is extremely unusual). Court records indicated this was due to late arrivals and poor documentation, later linked to her possible alcoholism. There were many reports from LE sources about her behavior including an arrest for filing a false police report against a co-worker at the time in court record.
Many of these sources are upthread here.
Do you have any reason to believe her supervisor would disparage her years later if she were an excellent and responsible worker? Her supervisor would certainly know exactly what her performance was at the time.

I’d also be curious to know from friends/family if Sneha ever stayed at the Marriott in the past - either under her name or even as a guest in someone else’s room. Unlikely that we’ll never know this information sadly, highly doubt her family would share that and any friends she would hangout with late night never seemed to surface with any information, IMO
We'll never know a) because 23 years have gone by and b) her husband has already remarried with a new life on the west coast and probably doesn't need to dredge up any aspect of their relationship that could be called into question (including her staying at hotels to avoid confrontation regarding her behavior) and c) her parents kept their honour because they got their wish that their daughter died a hero rather than a brilliant doctor with substance abuse issues etc. and a maybe sexual orientation that is taboo in their culture and d) they are old and no one wants to cause them grief and unwanted focus at this stage of their lives.
