T-Rex - that is a good find. I cannot get the links to open though. Lots of coincidences there!

Wow, this is sad. It seems to me that Sneha's family is in deep denial about Sneha and her lifestyle. I'm sorry but women who are frequenting lesbian bars and going home with women from those bars on a semi regular basis are not going home with them to paint. Her husband is being very naive about some of the things that were allegedly going on. Perhaps she just ended up going home with the wrong person that night. Judging from previous arrests she seemed like she could have a bit of an attitude at times and could be very stubborn. Who knows....but there is no evidence to show she was at the WTC on the morning of 9/11 - I'm not saying she wasn't but there is nothing to prove she was either. I am surprised the court ruled in the favor of the family. I guess in a way it is annoying to me that the family would prefer to be ignorant and deny where Sneha's past behaviors may have led her instead choosing to believe she was a 9/11 hero. I am sure lots of family's of the missing would love to believe their loved one died a hero but that may not be the case......
I am not trying to be insensitive, on the contrary. It seems the family is so focused on her dying on 9/11 that they could be ignoring clues that would actually help find out what really happened to her. It seems to me they are very prideful and very concerned about what the community will think of them and would rather not know the truth - if the truth is Sneha went home with someone from a gay/lesbian bar after a few drinks and met with foul play so instead they have choosen to believe she died a hero even if that is not the case.
I wish I could find information about the woman mentioned on the first page of this thread, the one who went missing on her way home that day--the one who had spoken with her mother on her cellphone several times that day. I remember reading about it at the time, but now I can't remember the details. Google isn't helping me at all. As I recall, she was walking home to the Bronx (or Washington Heights?), she had spoken to her mother and was quite far from Ground Zero, but never made it home. When her mother tried calling her cell phone, the outgoing message had been changed and it wasn't her daughter's voice. Can anyone help?
9/11, a Man Went to Work. His Fate Is a Mystery.
By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS
Published: May 9, 2002
Juan Lafuente, a laconic Cuban immigrant, lived in the shadow of his prominent wife, Colette, mayor of the city of Poughkeepsie. Friends remember him as a shy creature of habit, a man who made repairs around the house, mowed the lawn, cared for the old Volvo and was devoted to his four grown daughters.
On Sept. 11, Mr. Lafuente vanished without a trace. Although he worked about eight blocks from the World Trade Center, neither his wife nor his colleagues at Citibank, where he was a vice president, had any hint he was going to the twin towers that day.
There is only speculation.
Among the 2,800 victims of the attack, Mr. Lafuente is one of a small number of victims who had no known connection to the trade center. Even homeless advocates knew their clients who frequented the towers, and illegal immigrants had family who knew where they worked.
...
Mr. Lafuente's last apparent act was recorded by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority: his monthly MetroCard was swiped at the subway turnstile in Grand Central Terminal at 8:06 a.m. Sept. 11. His usual stop, Wall Street, was two blocks south of the twin towers.

The strange twist of events has given Yvette's mom, Ivy [Yvette Moreno], fresh hope that her 24-year-old daughter - who worked for commodities firm Carr Futures on the 92nd floor of the north tower - is still alive.
"The phone is still working - even now," Moreno said yesterday. "And the phone was in The Bronx, where Yvette told us she was coming after the attack."
MYSTERY DEEPENS: WTC worker Yvette Moreno phoned her brother after the attack to say she was on her way home. She never showed up in The Bronx - but her cell phone did.

Yvette Moreno, 25, called her mom from her cell phone on Sept. 11 to say she had safely escaped her 92nd-floor office after the planes hit.
I live in NYC, have several gay friends and have been to a few of the bars mentioned too. They tend to be your typical trendy gay/lesbian bars. I wasn't meaning to suggest she was hanging out of seedy gay bars. I was pointing out that when women go to lesbian bars and consistently go home with other women at the end of the night they are probably participating in sexual behavior....not painting and her husband seems a little naive about the whole thing.

Missing doctor certified as 9/11 victim

A doctor who disappeared the day before the Sept. 11 attacks has been added to the list of those killed in the World Trade Center terror strike.
Dr. Sneha Philip, 31, will have her name read at this year's anniversary of the attacks after the city medical examiner concluded Thursday she was crushed in the rubble.
The medical examiner cited a January state appeals court decision that stated Philip, a resident at St. Vincent's Hospital Staten Island, was killed the day after she went missing.
Her family went to court to restore her name to the victim list - now 2,751 - after it was cut in 2004 because officials couldn't link her to the site.
"We waited and we waited, and everything came out right," said her father, Philip Philip. "Sadness is there all the time, but at last, you know, we are happy that they recognized that Sneha was a victim of 9/11."
